Don't let the tiny size deceive you! They pack service and good food in a tiny space. Friendly and timely service by a collaborative team keeps patrons satisfied. We had a lunch portion of General Tao with Sweet and Sour soup and Kung Pao chicken. Everything was flavorful. read more

Old school Chinese diner. Not fancy, but def fast. Not sure if the economy is causing a drop in food quality or if there have been changes in recipes or cooks but it has been noticeable. The dish that used to be my go to was the ginger chicken, but the chicken quality is noticeably less tender, on the stringy side. So I switched to order other dishes like their tofu dishes or an occasional Mongolian meat dish. Again, the meat & sauce similarities (hard to tell them apart) are noticeable. It's still a decent place for a fast meal or easy takeout but I find myself looking elsewhere for Chinese food. Their fried rice was always basic, but now it's like it got hit with some soy sauce & little else Prices have gotten a bit higher (like they do :) though they're still cheaper than many) but quality has gone down a notch or more. Not saying I'll never be back, but it's not on my bi weekly dont wanna cook lets eat out rotation. Oh well. read more

One of my friends recommended this place but I don't live close I finally got the chance to try it! I'd say one of the top Chinese food places in Tucson. I'd rank it #2 next to Fatman kitchen. The space is small they maybe have 4-5 tables. We came right before a rush but it was super speedy service! We had crab puffs and they were well done, super fresh and the sauce was great. They put green onions in which added really nice flavor. My husband and I shared orange chicken with fried rice I was really happy they didn't even up charge us for fried rice because most places do. The batter was great, crispy and moist chicken inside. The sauce was flavorful and they put orange peel in the sauce which I feel like added a nice flavor on top. Overall this is some of the best Chinese food I've found. A real gem! read more

Really great Chinese food. Consistent quality and service over the years. A no-nonsense business that keeps us coming back. We always get takeout so can't comment on ambiance. read more

Service was fast and friendly. The food was served hot and promptly. It was delicious. Veggies were crisp. Everything was quite delicious. Best kung pao chicken I have had in a very long time. Doesn't look like much from the outside. But do come in!!! read more

Update. Returned to try the food when it was not so busy. As far as Americanized Chinese food goes this was exceptionally good. Specifically the sauces with distinct flavor not just soy and corn starch brown gravy. Large portion sizes. Veggies done just right. Quick attentive service. Still would like to see beer and wine added. read more

We came here with our friends who really love it and we were underwhelmed. The food was just okay, nothing to brag about and we haven't been back when there are so many other choices. The service was good, the food came out slower than a typical Asian restaurant. The restaurant is clean. read more

Shrimp Fried rice and egg drop soup were good Orange chicken left me a little wanting Service was on point though especially for being pretty packed Tight quarters inside but still very nice read more

First choice on Asian food every time. CONSISTENT! always fresh, always delicious. Literally every dish is great and the lunch special is so much food and so affordable read more

Our go to lunch spot when in town. Great Food every time ! Great service always! Beef or Chicken and Broccoli are my favorite. Cream Cheese Rangoons and Egg Flower soup are great. read more

We have only ever picked up, but the prices are well worth it, especially for the dinner specials! We love the cashew chicken, egg rolls, and egg drop soup! The service is efficient and this place is a great little hole-in-the-wall vibes that I really enjoy. We will be back! read more

Old school Chinese place. We dined in, but it appears that they have many to go orders which is not surprising as the food is excellent! Service was speedy and everyone there was very friendly. Will be back on my next visit to Tucson! read more

This place is well oiled machine. They have a few booths and capacity is probably less than 30 customers to dine in. They were cranking out to-go orders and serving customers quickly. I got seated, a beverage, a soup, and my entrée within 10 minutes. There was a constant flow of customers coming in and out. So the ambiance is small, family run strip mall fast Chinese food. The food is good. I think this is a place that does mostly take-out orders. If you're near Silverbell and Ina check this place out. read more

I called to get takeout here on Christmas evening right before closing and Angelo helped me thru the menu and navigating my strange dietary needs so patiently and kind. When I got there everything was done great and the food and service were great! Good dinner deal! read more

My family and I order from Asian Spice quite often and we have never been disappointed. The food is consistently delicious and always prepared as we've requested. I would recommend ordering out instead of dining in, as the space is pretty small. Their hot and sour soup is the best I've had and my favorite dish is their Cashew Chicken. You also can't go wrong with the crab puff and spring roll appetizers. The owners are very kind and generous as well! read more

This restaurant has been here for a bit and everyone loves it. I personally love their soup specially when I am under the weather. I love their garlic eggplant, the noodles, and beef broccoli. There are so many to choose from and they cook it right there. It is not pre cooked. The owners and employees are so kind and nice. This is our go to restaurant! read more

The fast stuff 1. Willing to make modifications. The tofu with vegetables came with a white sauce. We asked, "Can we change to brown?" DONE. 2. Garlic intolerance - So they said tofu has garlic, and we can remove that. The Mongolian Shrimp their chili paste has garlic. They let us know. However, they offered fresh chilis instead. Wow, that's going the extra mile. DONE. 3. Service is elite. The place is small, like six booths. They do a lot of takeout. 4. The food itself A. Mongolian Shrimp was spicy and great. Lots of shrimp tasty with green onions. It's a schezwan dish. Recommend. B. The tofu dish didn't work for me. It was bland. Needed some heat. There are plenty of veggies, and I suspect the removal of garlic probably hurt. Tofu was solid. We will be coming back. Good food. Fair prices. And service that wants you as a happy customer. read more

Asian Spice - Shrimp Chop Suey - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Very odd. The food here is decent, but def not Traditional Chinese. However large portions are great. The food is greasy.

Stopped in for lunch. The dining room was packed. I ordered the Mongolian beef lunch special. It was less than $11 which surprised me a bit. Until I opened the bag and revealed a pile of rice and a tiny bit of meat and onions. I was still hungry after eating every morsel. I would have rather paid a few dollars more for a properly sized portion. I'm not a big eater, the portion size was tiny. The beef was very good. I just wish I didn't leave hungry. read more

First disappointment at this restaurant, we walked in and headed to empty table like we always do, some loud brass women starting yelling " excuse me " over and over. I finally turned around when the braying didn't stop. The obnoxious woman wanted us to put our name on a list. Never did this in the past . Instead i decided to go to another establishment that did have this obscene women. Too bad company hired bad behavior and rudeness. I will have to ignore as a choice in the future. Too bad foid was excellent, butnot putting up with rudeness. read more

This was recommended by a friend so we decided to give it a go, we were in the area. Checked in for lunch and there was a 10 minute wait. It has very limited seating and seems most of their business is take-out. We ordered their lunch specials, the Orange and Sesame Chicken which came with Hot n Sour Soup a roll and steamed rice at very reasonable prices. We were surprised! The Hot n Sour Soup was delicious, tart and tasty and the Sesame and Orange Chicken both on the very good side. Of course steamed rice is steamed rice. The portions were plentiful, surprising for $9.95. The wait was short, the service very good, all in all a great place for lunch. We will definite back for dinner and made sure to take home their menu for to go items in the future. read more

Hot and sour soup out of this world. General Tso's chicken spiced just right. I ordered house fried rice to go - did not disappoint. Worth the long drive - two enthusiastic thumbs up!! read more

Asian Spice - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great food, great service . Will order there again and again. Small dine in area but nice.

I've been eating here for about four years and was so happy to see they made Yelp's top 100 Chinese Restaurants. It is way better than most of the Chinese restaurants around Tucson. Their kung pao tofu, garlic eggplant, and Singapore curry rice noodles are my recurring orders and I really love that they will make my chow fun vegan on request. It is also really cool that they offer a discount for veterans and service members. Even when they are slammed, you will always be greeted by a friendly staff member and they are very quick to move orders along. read more

Great takeout or dine in. It's a small place but if you don't mind that you can eat in. I always order takeout, I hav r not had a meal that I didn't enjoy! Highly recommend! read more

Very delicious!!! It's a favorite place! I always get the lunch special and it's truly the best thing ever! I usually get Mongolian shrimp or chicken and it's piping hot and had the wok flavor that you can't recreate at home. It's soooo good! And the hot and sour soup! Wow! I it's like catnip for a cat. I can't stop slurping it up with tiny little mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Just enough heat. So good you wouldn't care if you ate anything else! The food comes out fast and the crab puffs are so steaming and good too! Truly it's a wonderful special place. The chefs are always working so hard and you hear the woks moving and the sound of the bustle of your food cooking'. It's truly wonderful there. For such a small place, somehow you always can get a seat, even if it's a short wait. The staff are fantastic as well. Very on the ball and perfect! You can't go wrong eating there. And the wallpaper is to die for. It's very pretty. The main chef worked at a fancy hotel in China and you can tell! It's wonderful! read more

I've been here a very few times over the years. I was craving Chinese food for dinner tonight and didn't want Panda Express across the street. I ordered to go.... For hubby I ordered General Taos chicken and for myself Mongolian beef (EXTRA SPICY). Hubby enjoyed his chicken however my extra spicy Mongolian beef was so weak in heat. Now I remember why I hardly ever come here. I was so disappointed with my meal I decided to open my freezer and got the Orange chicken I bought from Costco last weekend instead. Next time I'm in the area and craving Chinese food I'll go across the street especially at almost $30 for two entrées with little rice. I'll give this place another try in another few years. read more

Smells SO GOOD!! We couldn't wait to try! We ordered Ginger Green Onion Beef & Singapore Curry Noodles along with Egg Rolls and Crab Puffs appetizer. Our waiter was friendly and everyone was so nice. He recommended the Singapore dish and said the green onion choice was also one of his favorites. The Vegetable Spring Rolls were crunchy and fresh! My husband, who isn't an egg roll type guy, loved it! The Crab Puffs were nice and crunchy with smooth crab mixture - delicious! The Ginger Green Onion Beef dish had such tender beef cooked perfectly with the green onions and ginger flavors - Yum! The Singapore Curry Rice Noodles were a nice surprise. Something we never tried before and we were pleased! The curry flavors was spot on but with a hint of Asian flair! It came with Shrimp and chicken which both proteins were perfectly cooked and not dried out at all. The noodles were soooo good! Def a dish I would order again! Yum! We would for sure go back! read more

This place is great! Probably the best Asian food I've had on the north side and I feel like I have a high bar (from Seattle).

This place is awesome,really good people, the awards are earned. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot!

I have given this place a few more tries since last reviewing it and it is better than I first thought. Atleast, some things are. I recommend the pad thai and the bbq pork fried rice. Those two dishes are really good. It's pretty good for occasional Asian take out. read more

This place is AMAZING. My family and I have been going to this place for years and We love it so much. The quality of the food is very authentic and very flavorful. The workers are also very nice. and it's a cute little place. It would be amazing if they built another location. I loved the rainbow smoothies when they were there. Hopefully they can bring them back again? read more

Sweet and sour chicken and the cashew chicken was really good. Lots of food on dinner menu.

My family like this place so much, although it's a small cafeteria style restaurant, they really have good food. You'll see a lot of food pick up while you dine in. This is a good place to do take outs when you're too busy to cook. I like the sound of cooking,cause I know what you're getting are really freshly cooked food. read more
