Very small place but very good Chinese, canto style food. Surprisingly legit and good. The place is small. Most people just order to go as there are limited seats available. Hot and sour soup - good Eggroll - complimentary and good Garlic eggplant - yummy General Tso's chicken- tender chicken, golden fried to perfection. Mapo Tofu - delicious Beef chow fun - authentic. Good wok hei (wok fire) as those canto called it. Mongolian beef - very good read more

Asian Spice - Egg Roll - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We love Asian Spice and order takeout from here 3-4 times a month. As a family that needs gluten-free options, it's one of our go-to spots because there are actually several things on the menu we can enjoy. My personal favorite is the chicken chow mein. I order it almost every time and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and our orders are always ready when expected. Definitely one of our favorite takeout places in Tucson. read more

Fantastic food! Great & speedy service for Take out orders! Friendly staff! Smells wonderful in the restaurant.

You know what? Since I moved back to the Ol' Pueblo I have been craving good Asian food. My wife and I decided to pop into Asian Spice for lunch on a "let's try it out" whim. I am glad we did! For a small venue the service was charming, timely, attentive. The food was well prepared, plentiful, and flavorful. (Be careful of the spicy mustard it WILL clear your sinuses!). They offer in restaurant dining as well as takeout. And the pricing for lunch specials was cheaper than most fast food. Seriously, I was very presently surprised by this little Gem and will be back. read more

So happy to have a delicious Chinese spot nearby that has daily lunch specials and a wonderful variety of dishes. I've dined in and gotten takeout several times, and the food is delicious both ways. Service is friendly. There aren't a ton of booths, so you may have to wait, but they're quick and efficient. I love the cashew chicken, sesame chicken, and moo goo gai pan. The fried rice is the perfect complement, and the egg flower soup and egg rolls are tasty too. Don't skip the hot mustard, it's the real stuff. Even the Thai tea is great! The lunch special is an unbeatable value and has earned me as a loyal customer. Can't wait to keep trying more options from the menu. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a friend since my daughter craved Chinese food this week. The food was just okay. I guess we are used to great restaurants back in the East Coast. The food portion does not fit the price(even with inflation) as you can see from the pics, the plastic food containers were not full. So weird! Coming from the Midwest that's not how it's done. Either you fill it all the way or choose a smaller container. It looks like leftover food I used to take home at the end of the day from our own restaurant. We did get a full box of rice. The crab puffs aka crab rangoon, are very very very very tiny. Like less than half the size of a normal puff. The chicken Chop Suey, my husband did not have anything to say about it, I didn't like it because of the way it looked and the flavor. The chicken looked weird, not sure how it was cooked/ prepared it had a strange texture/look. All this food was takeout $61 (found +tip) so I can't say much about the restaurant ambience since we didn't dine-in but it was a very busy restaurant when my husband went to get the food. My friend recommended few other restaurants so I will have to try the others and see if they are better. Not sure if we will order food from here again and if we do, it will be just for my husband on a day when I don't feel like cooking, and definitely not for me. Because I worked in a family owned restaurant business for over 40 years before retiring, I know what good food should look and taste like and I have a passion for great food. Sorry but not sorry!! 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

Absolutely amazing customer as soon as you walk in the door. The place has a really nice vibe, I love being so close to the chefs. Then to top it off the food was amazing, I had egg rolls, orange chicken, fried rice, and egg flower soup and it was amazing, I cleaned every plate. The dinner special was also a great price. Some of the best Chinese food I've had since I moved to Tucson. 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

Just ordered take out from Asian Spice and it was hit, fresh, and ready on time. Very tasty food and their soup has just the right amount of flavor/spice! Great service as well. read more

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

Love this place ever since the first time I ate it years ago! Everything is so authentic not to heavy feeling and delicious! A must try! One of my top 5 favorite Asian spots in Tucson! 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

Outstanding food period!! Customer service is great. Better as take out due to size of establishment.

Excellent food and service. They're usually packed but it's always worth the wait if you're dining in!

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

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

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

This is our go - to spot for Chinese Takeout. It is consistently quality and the staff members are always very nice and prompt. I almost always get the Mongolian Shrimp but enjoy other dishes I have gotten including the Eggplant. Comfort food! read more

What a terrific place to get Chinese/Asian food. I usually do pickup as there is limited seating. The portions are very big and perfect to share with a friend. read more

Great option if you like Americanized Chinese food, not so much if you are looking for authentic Chinese food.

Service is excellent and really quick. Huge portion sizes. I love their combo meals. We constantly order "to go" and orders are always accurate and hot. read more

Fast and amazing. Recommend take out as the tables inside fill up fast. There is a reason!

This is the most amazing place. The food is always top-notch - ingredients are fresh and the sauces are really REALLY tasty! And, the best Thai tea in town!! The chef and everyone else here are super friendly. We've become regulars. Don't miss Asian Spice! read more

This is not the type of restaurant where you need any more ambience than watching the food preparation a few feet from your table. After probably more than a dozen meals there, I've never been disappointed in the quality of the food or the service. It has a "no-nonsense" interior that suits the purpose just fine. I drive 17 miles each way to eat there if I'm not in the area for other reasons. I almost hesitate to recommend the place so it doesn't become popular to the point that seating becomes more of an issue. Smile here. read more

Had a large at home birthday party which was catered by this restaurant. The food was wonderful and plentiful.

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

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

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

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

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
