Sesame chicken was real good and so was the sweet-and-sour chicken.

This place is great

Lesli Callahan

The worst food is served on styrofoam plates. It was terrible

Jamie Davidson

The Mongolian beef was very tender and perfectly seasoned. The hot and sour soup had a great level of spice. Highly recommend!

Would not recommend the food, unfortunately. The egg soup tasted really odd and watery, and near the bottom of the bowl were clumps of corn starch. Got the chow fun noodles and the portion was very small. None of the food was satisfying.

Great food and still very consistent after many years in business.
Must try!

Second time I’ve eaten here! Food is very good! The menu is good and I can’t believe how affordable it is. Remember it’s upstairs! Please support this small business

Finally! Some respectable Chinese food in Tucson. Discovered this hidden spot en route to a show at Centennial Hall. What it lacks in its basic ambiance is more than made up for in well-balanced, non-greasy, fresh and flavorful cuisine. Owner is lovely and accommodating. Seriously, if you're in the area, try to stop in (there's an elevator down an alley around the corner from the staircase if you need it).

The restaurant is upstairs at the corner of University Ave and Park. I think it's the best food on University--no-frills delicious Chinese food with great service. Everything I've tried has been great. Highly recommended!

Very delicious!! Located upstairs in a nice shopping plaza, it was a nice quiet spot to have lunch while on UofA campus. Hidden gem! I had the orange chicken, beef broccoli and veggie lo-mein. Highly recommended. ? ?? ??

Just a solid place to get Chinese food. The menu has Americanized Chinese food with the other half of the menu being more authentic Chinese dishes. Tasty either way.
