The restaurant was empty at 12 noon. BIG red flag, and I should have listened to the red flag. I've wanted to try this place for a while now, so I had the Beef and noodle soup. What was served was not fresh, I should've just made myself a beef flavored ramen package from Walmart for 6o cents. Will not be back to this place. I have no idea how this place has a 4.4 rating. SMH.

Out of the things I ordered, this is what I like the best, from most to least:Pork with scallion piePan fried bun with porkShredded potato saladPork bunBeef rollsTriple dumplingsHonestly, it was all really good, and I would order from here again!The inside is super bare bones with a lot of open space. It is strangely quiet inside, because there aren't any waiters and there's no music playing, so I feel like it would be kind of an awkward dine in experience.

I love coming here. I enjoy the food and enjoy the service. They greet me with a smile. I tend to get beef noodle soup and dumplings. A tip would be to tell them the number of what you want to order, they don't speak great English. Everything I have ordered there has been fantastic! I would 100% give it a shot if you are in the area!

I was part of a small group that tried Jewel's for Christmas lunch. Overall, we enjoyed the food, and encountered the language barrier others have noted. Highlights of the meal included the meat pies and the cucumber salad. Hot tea would have been nice, but apparently was not an option. My real concern about the place has to do with the possible use of MSG. A member of our party and I both had reactions consistent with consuming MSG. If you are sensitive to this substance, you may want to go elsewhere. To be clear, I don't know if MSG was used in our order, but it does seem likely.

This restaurant has not only amazing food that feels like a home cooked meal, but the service is amazing. Lucy is the sweetest lady I have ever met. She may not speak a lot of English, but if you have a little bit of patience, she will sit and google translate stuff for you. Truly amazing people who deserve more customers in their restaurant.

Went to dinner here on the Friday after Thanksgiving, we were legit the only two people in the restaurant. The decor is plain but effective. The food is the star here and it tastes like you are at someone's home and they are serving you a meal. Dumplings were cooked perfectly, soup was flavored well, and the scallion pancake was fried to perfection. I'd eat here once a week if I lived in Tucson.
Food was bad when we went in at 8pm.The beef noodles was tasteless, the hot and sour soup was not sour at all.We asked for chilli oil but the container turned up empty. Also asked for 5 plates for our party of 5 but then only gave us 3.Wouldn't recommend, cannot understand why this place would even get a rating above 4!

Literally mom and pop restaurant. I ate all kinds of the dumplings, pies, and pork buns. Definitely had leftovers (I ordered a lot just for myself), but no actual noodles. Everything is cooked to order, so as each thing was done, it was brought out, one at a time. Some of the food was a little too greasy for my liking, but the flavors were all good.

Really good food. Very authentic and homemade. People are very friendly and the service was really fast. Very casual and relaxing ambiance. The meat cake and the pear tea are a must try. Definitely coming back!

This place is a trip! Literally a trip , the couple that runs it are from China and the decor is left over from when it was a Mexican restaurant. The menu is brief and non discrptive, and don't bother asking questions because they don't speak English. All that said the pot stickers and the dumplings are outrages!!! They are so delicious and authentic. If you want to get the real thing, this is the place to go! Trust me I've spent a lot of time in Asia.
