Horrible!!! My experience at Cheng's Beijing is actually very concerning! This was not just a preference issue, it really seems like the quality or freshness is the problem. I strongly encourage the restaurant to review their food handling practices. I'd advise people to smell their food first. The sweet and sour chicken tasted off, and after one bite I felt extremely sick. My boyfriend couldn't even finish his food because of the smell of his sauce and the chicken was cold (almost frozen). I brought it up and maybe request our money back, but the lady in the front was dismissive and rude. We couldn't get our money back even after taking one bite of the food. Very disappointing evening. I would advise others to be cautious and save your money!!! read more

I couldn't even give this place 2 stars the food was so bad. I got Orange Chicken, vegtable fried rice, an order of egg rolls and my wife got chicken foo young. The orange chicken came with the chicken and orange sauce separate. The chicken breading was tastless and moist. The sauce was in a small container and it barely covered the chicken. It, too, was bland. The patties in the chicken foo young were tasteless and the sauce was bland. The sauce also came in a separate container and there wasn't much of it. There was hardly any chicken in it. The egg rolls were obviously out of box. About as big around as a cigar and also bland. All around, a stay away. read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. Not only was the waitress incredibly rude, not answering questions and standing around making us all feel like we shouldn't be there, but the food was some of the worst I've had in Tucson. They turned the music off while we were dining, even though it was 30 minutes until closing. I will NOT be coming back here- especially with saffron right across the street! read more

Terrible Chinese food I ever had. The only good thing about the place was the shrimp platter. My noodles were so disgusting and unflavored. The cabbage was over fried. The pork dumplings weren't cooked all the way, fell apart very easily . The waitress that night was rude, as well as the hostess. The timing of the food was too close to when I ordered, it came out in less than 8 minutes. I drowned my noodles in soy sauce just to have some flavor from the fact the noodles tasted old and sitting all day. Waitress had no people skills. Hostess was just all around rude a with a snobby attitude. If you think this place is great you've lost your mind and need a reality check. read more

I went with the eggplant with fried tofu. The eggplant dish included onions, red and green bell peppers, basil, and eggplant. The eggplant was soft. For whatever reason, I run into a lot of soft and gushy eggplant around here at Chinese and Thai restaurants. Whereas I'm used to a bit more crunch and no gushy in LA. Despite a wonderful brown sauce that has a slow burn, there was no flavor with the eggplant. The fried tofu was solid. It was a mix of soaking up the sauce or not. The red and green peppers were crunchy and tasty. I added fried rice. For the appetizer, I went with the spring rolls, which were fried and come with bean sprouts, carrot shreds, mushroom bits, and cabbage. It tasted good, but I wondered if they were made on site or not. My vibe is that they were not. On a positive note, I was able to get chopsticks via the Uber Eats app. They give you a lot of food, for leftovers, and I did like that both cartons are microwave safe. read more

Amazing every time. Pro tip go in for the lunch special!!! Bbq pork chow mein is to die for

The least appetizing Asian food we've ever had. The pho and curry were distinctly disappointing.

We ate the worst chicken curry and pho that we've yet experienced. The meats were overcooked, seasonings were unusual, and food was bland. If you're considering whether or not you'd like to eat here, check out the kitchen before you sit down and save your money. read more

Had dinner and it was delicious. Our waitress was amazing. The best Chinese food I've had so far. It's a small restaurant but very beautiful on the inside. The food is extremely delicious. The ambience is very welcoming. Thank you so much to the cooks and the waitress and everybody else that made our dinner so perfect. I will definitely be back again read more

Great food and service was outstanding. We ordered appetizers a d two entrees. We had the spring rolls which were fresh and good size. The potstickers were very flavorful. The entrees were good portions. Hawaiian chicken was flavorful with hint of spice. The two chicken was very good. Great taste and portion. The beverages was ice tea. Fresh brewed black tea with a slice of lemon. Consistent refills. Just Splenda and sugar for sweeteners. The server was quick and kind. We didn't have to ask for anything. She was on top of everything we needed. The prices were average. $13 a plate. And I surely would go back. Place was very clean and a constant flow of customers. Place seats about 50 people. Not a big place, but not small either. Very pleased. read more

I was not expecting good pho from a Chinese restaurant but I w a s pleasantly surprised by Cheng's pho. The broth was delicious and their portion size was perfect. They also had a great amount of noodles and beef slices. There's not very many good choices for pho around Oro Valley, especially delivery options, so if I'm ever in a pinch or need a pho fix I know where to go! read more

My only experience with Cheng's Beijing is through their takeout. It was very meh, even with my lower standards for Chinese Takeout in Tucson. I wouldn't say it was bad. I ate all my food because I was hungry and had been craving takeout for months. But afterwards I wondered if it was worth it. There are a few vegetarian options which is nice. The Buddha's Delight sounded so fresh and light in the description. In reality, the veggies were tainted with this canned flavor from the water chestnuts and the noodles were scant and mushy. Would not order again. The pad Thai did not taste like any pad Thai I've ever had. It tastes like fried noodles. It was decent, but was hoping for some more sweet/tart/spicy Thai flavor. The service is okay. Not friendly, not mean. The online ordering is easy but you must pay in person. Kind of annoying. Overall, very middle of the road takeout place. Perhaps I got the wrong entrees. Seems like people enjoy the Laksa and Vietnamese dishes. But don't think I'll be back to try those. read more

I'm sorry but even by Tucson's low standards, this is some very bad Chinese food. I knew it from the smell as soon as I picked up the takeout bag. The fried rice was a sad brown color and had no flavor. The green beans were far too sweet, in a sickly way. Avoid this place. read more

The best bun rieu. I have not been able to find something comparable since I left Tucson in 2013. I recently visited and it tastes just as it did back then. read more

I have not had takeout in quite some time. I finally decided, "You know what, get some takeout!" and I sat down and started looking at different delivery options. I have 2-3 "go to" amazing Asian places that I tend to stick to but I saw a new place: Cheng's Beijing. I decided to try something new and now I know (1) stick to what I love and (2) I will not be patronizing Cheng's Beijing again. When one orders takeout you really are paying for several things: the food, the delivery fee (I used DoorDash and don't really complain about the fees, they're doing a service, but you do figure it costs several extra dollars for delivery fees), and then the delivery driver tips (my driver was amazing! love my delivery drivers!). So I spent quite a bit on three different items. And thus, I expect the food to at the very least be better than Panda Express. Guess what: I found a place worse than Panda Express. Seriously! For an appetizer, I always order crab puffs. I really think you can tell a lot about an Asian restaurant by their crab puffs. This place is on-par with pricing trends when it comes to their appetizers but the crab puffs themselves are the most disappointing crab puffs I have ever had. They are barely filled (if they are filled... I had two with absolutely nothing in them, they were just a nice little Asian chip). Other places stuff their crab puffs full. This place was ridiculous and barely put anything in them. What was in them had no real flavor... how could that be? I ordered the sesame chicken because it is always a 'safe' choice when you're trying a new place out. I did see a gorgeous photograph of some sesame chicken that looks nicely battered and well sauced. What came in my delivery was the worst disappointment I've ever received. I snapped a photograph of the complete lack of sauce. I dug around the box, thinking maybe the sauce all settled at the bottom? No. There is just really no sauce on this. Which leads me to believe they make the chicken then add the sauce (not terrible, just kind of makes you go 'meh') but in this case of takeout they just really gave me no sauce to work with. They are on par in terms of pricing but the sesame was missing (looks nothing like they photograph, of course) and their portions are smaller than other places for similar pricing. The main dish does come with a side of rice. I upgraded to the fried rice and what a waste of two dollars. The rice is okay, actually, but it doesn't even seem to have the nice 'brown' of a fried rice. Sigh. The bao buns are actually the 'best' thing in the delivery. And with that being said they leave a lot to be desired. The pork filling inside doesn't have great flavor. It is "okay" but I would not go out of my way to get these again. Honestly, I've had much better from other places in Tucson. Here is my honest review: I would not seek this restaurant out again. While I do believe the 'in person' experience is often a bit better than takeout, that does not mean that takeout should be so poorly crafted. I spent good money for food that the restaurant didn't even bother to finish, didn't bother to make well, and surely didn't 'care' to keep a customer. read more

The staff and service was friendly and personable so I hate to do this, but I won't be back. The portion sizes were insultingly small and when the food came out I thought they were bringing out a appetizers. The breading was thick, not much chicken inside of the breaded chicken. Dumpling soup had 5 small dumplings in it and a few pieces of cabbage for 15$. The one redeeming factor is that they have the best, most stuffed crab puffs in town. I'll be missing those while I eat elsewhere. read more

Cheng's Beijing - Beef Pho - Chinese Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

It was the worst Chinese Food or Asian Food I can remember ever having anywhere. A frozen microwave Asian dinner would have been better. They combined a poor attitude when I walked into the restaurant with bad food to earn 1-star. I really don't know why they are in business? I really don't. I'll tell you--if the food was great with that bad attitude, I never would have mentioned it in the review as I usually don't service issues unless they are so bad. I ordered the Moo Go with Chicken. Basically their version of Chicken with vegetables. What could go wrong with this meal? They must use pre-cut frozen slices of chicken breast like the kind you get in a bag at Costco. No fresh vegetables--everything out of a bag. Their microwave must be running all day. Very little vegetables. Tasteless. The chicken was rubbery and had that disgusting aftertaste like it was previously frozen. If I was not so tired and hungry I would have sent it back. But I think they knew that, because they were so unfriendly and abrupt when I came in that they knew they were about to screw me. They were letting me know I was about to get a bad dinner--one last chance to escape. Even the white rice was mediocre. When I asked about getting Brown Rice the waitress said: "I will have to put it in the microwave...." Just one little bright light from this dismal meal: I liked my fortune from the cookie. In order to run a successful restaurant and stand out it takes hard work daily. You have to buy fresh quality meats and cooked them daily. You have to buy quality fresh vegetables and chop them up and combine them with a tasty sauce. You can't rely on frozen or canned provisions from a food service. Fresh is what is worth paying for--never frozen! I hope this never happens again.... read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town - and I grew up in LA so trust me I know good Chinese food The quality is amazing - i'm very picky about meat and their meat is always high quality (none of that nasty, fat, tough dark meat you sometimes get at Chinese places). The options are super unique, too - I am OBSESSED with the crispy cherry beef, i've never had anything like that before! I will say some of their flavors aren't "traditional" like their orange chicken felt quite different from other orange chicken i've had, but it's honestly such a nice change of pace to have new foods. The staff is also super kind, we've never had a bad experience. I 100% recommend it! read more

Disappointing carryout meal. The one bright spot was the Thai Basil Rolls, which were large, fresh and very flavorful. The entrees were of poor quality. The Teriyaki Chicken was made with warmed up leftover chicken, very little broccoli, and a thin brown sauce that didn't taste like teriyaki. The Mu Shu Pork was boring and skimpy on the pork. The dish was served with flour tortillas instead of traditional rice pancakes. The packets of hoisin sauce were so old you couldn't squeeze out the sauce. We won't be back. read more

Excellent Chinese food for take out love the eggplant dishes in particular. Generous portions

Just got home from lunch at Cheng's Beijing. WOW...so very good. Their lunch platter specials are hard to beat price-wise. Perfect portions for 1 person...maybe even a bit more. Everything was cooked and prepared perfectly. I got the Kung Pao Chicken with hot & sour soup. The chicken had just the right amount of 'spicy' and the soup was delicious. The hubs got Beef and Broccoli with the hot and sour soup. The beef was very tender and the sauce was flavorful. Service was great, too. We will definitely be going back. read more

Been here a couple of times before over the last nine years and have enjoyed it, particularly the crispy cherry beef. They were a little off this go around, though. I had lunch here and ordered the crispy cherry beef, It wasn't crispy like it usually is, the breading being soggy. The hot and sour soup was good, as was the cream cheese puffs. It was not a cheap lunch, coming to $10. I have rated this place a strong 4 stars before, but alas, this is one of the four reviews of mine that have mysteriously disappeared. Owing to the soggy breading and the cost of the lunch brings this to a strong 3+ stars for me. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

If you love Long Green Beans with white rice, this is the place to call for take out. Tender green beans in a garlic white wine vinegar....crispy and oh so yummy! The hubby gravitates to their Sweet & Sour Chicken and says the batter that the chicken chunks are deep fried in, is superb. So bummed we couldn't dine in, but to COVID-19, I had to miss the fabulous plum wine they serve. Hmmm.....I wonder if they do bottle take out. :-) Give this place a try. Easy peasy take out ordering and its ready in a snap. read more

I was surprised how bland and dreadful the food was. There is a surprising lack of salt or comprehensive flavor. The scallops were flabby which is something u might expect raw? But they were cooked. All of the protein in the rice bowl tasted like they were steamed. Nothing tasted good. The wonton soup was even worse. The aroma smells of locker room, the mushrooms are canned, and the taste goes to match. Two stars because the food arrived hot and the wontons are ok. read more

Not even close to description. So disappointed. Leaving Tucson after a conference and ordered takeout to enjoy when I got home. Eggs rolls were essentially empty and sauce was tasteless. Hawaiian chicken, no sweet sour chili sauce, no pineapple, no mango, and chicken was bland. It came in a brown sauce, not spicy, not as described and pretty weak, flavor wise. Also ordered the twice good chicken, again no spice, no garlic ginger flavor. So disappointed, what a waste of $40. Will not be returning. Would have been off hitting the drive thru at Panda Express. read more

We tried Cheng's Beijing on a whim one night when craving Chinese Food. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the menu and that they offer quite a few traditional dishes and more unique dishes than most American Chinese restaurants. The women who run the restaurant are all business. Super efficient service and the place is spotless. Prices are a little higher than other local apots but we are more than willing to pay a little more for a much better experience. read more

Customer service was a 10/10. The food was amazing we had the Tso chicken and it was delicious. Very generous portion sizes!

Food was not at all worth it, especially for the price. I tried multiple dishes and everything was lacking flavor and ingredients were not good on their own either. Portions were big if that's what counts, and I will say we went an hour and a half before closing which may have impacted this. I would definitely not recommend nor go again myself. The ambiance was nice, and workers were fine, it was really a shame about the food. read more
