    Orange Chicken
    Raeann Q.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Very good food for this part of town. Not much ambiance at all. Just a little one row of booths but the food is plentiful and good.

    Came to Asian Spice during business hours only to find it closed with no notice. No note on the door or anything. Very disappointed.

    Food is fresh and good. Sometimes a little bland. Kung Pao and the sauteed dishes could use a little more seasoning.

    Are any of the dishes made with chicken breast meat? My wife only eats white meat.

    Hi Karl, almost all of our chicken dishes are made with chicken breast meat, except our orange chicken and sesame chicken. However, we can also make these dishes with white meat upon request. Thank you!

    Are you open Christmas Day?

    We are not open on Christmas, Merry Christmas !

    I'm a big fan of Obon, so when visiting Tucson, we decided to stop in for an early dinner! We…read morearrived just in time for happy hour, so we ordered a pan-fried pork gyoza off their HH menu. The pork gyoza was good, but it wasn't very warm. We each ordered ramen for our dinner. Mine the Oban and my friend the Original. The ramen was good, but mine tasted a little different than their Scottsdale/Phoenix locations. It wasn't as flavorful and as spicy as it normally is. This location is pretty small. Not a lot of tables, but they do have an outdoor patio and a large bar. Parking is a little bit of a nightmare due to the downtown location. I did park in the parking garage across the street, and I thought it was unusual they don't validate for parking. Overall, it was a fun time and our service was good.

    Finally !! No joke -…read morethis place has been on my hit list for nearly 2 yrs and what finally got me here was a post someone sent me about "death free foodies " vegan ramen collab here. Upon arrival we were originally told it'd be a 40min wait (I Cried inside a little ) but to our surprise a table for 4 clears up in 10min! We sat indoors but there is a vibey outdoors seating option as well . You can't beat being smack dab in the middle of downtown on Congress . Found parking pretty easy as well down the street . Love the aesthetic- dress up or dress down , anything goes here. Soooooo many veggie options for my veg heads . Ordered the veggie gyoza , spicy edamame , veggie egg rolls, death free foodie ramen , veggie "non sushi "roll , pot of tea & jack fruit bao to share with table . You know what , all the hype was on point ... the ramen may very well be the BEST in tucson . The veggie sushi was delish , had a zest to it I quite enjoyed . HIGHLY recommend checking this place out and not waiting 2 years to try it out . The service is great , food is good , location is perfect & yes you'll pay about $30 + a person here and it's so worth it .

    Stopped by for an early afternoon brunch today. Big mistake…read more But first, let me say that our server was friendly and attentive and could not have been more helpful. Promptly seated, drinks brought out, order taken and food delivered fast, hot and correct. The background music was some chinese music tv station playing modern easy listening tunes and, along with the comfortable chairs and solid table made for a relaxing environment. The food? meh. You can see our order in the latest photo and how expensive it was. the Lo Mein was mostly tasteless and certainly lacking in thast "lo mein flavor." Although the meat was tender, the sauce was just a sticky brown sauce. Surprisingly, the Spicy Pickle Tofu was essentially the same sticky brown sauce as the Lo Mein but with some fried tofu in it and without the noodles but nothing otherwise remarkable. You can tell by looking at my earlier picture attached. The old picture shows a bright and colorful plate. The dish today was a dark brown (you could hardly see the tofu from the beef) as everything was just dark. Eggplant seemed to have a similar brown sauce as well but the eggplant was otherwise tasteless. Nothing popped. Chicken bites were bland and not at all crunchy. Just fried to soft texture but no real flavor. According to our server, the menu was just recently updated about a month ago. We noticed because one of our favorites was the Fried Taro Pie which is now gone from the menu and the server said yes, that's right. Maybe this place has a new owner or chef, but it's no longer in my top asian restaurants for Tucson.
