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. ? ?? ??
