    I've been craving good salt and pepper tofu and it's surprisingly hard to find in my area for delivery. I actually thought I was ordering delivery this time, but it turned out to be a pickup order -- not ideal, but luckily the restaurant is less than 15 minutes from home. The tofu itself was delicious -- crisp, flavorful, and nicely spiced. I like salty food (probably my Russian side showing), though my German boyfriend thought it was a little too salty for his taste. I really enjoyed the heat from the jalapeños -- just enough to add a kick without overpowering the dish. Even though I was bummed about the pickup mix-up, my order was ready when I arrived. The staff member was friendly and even mentioned I hadn't selected a rice option, so they went ahead and added one for me -- a small gesture that made a big difference. Overall, tasty food, quick service, and thoughtful staff. I'd definitely order from them again -- maybe next time, for actual delivery!

    My sister and I visited this little Asian diner for the first time last weekend. We were really impressed! It seemed like they do a lot of takeout orders, but they had a nice amount of seating in the restaurant as well, which we took them up on. The cashier doubled as our server and he was wonderful. I ordered the sesame chicken and my sister had the orange chicken. We were both given huge servings and at a reasonable price. The flavors were great and everything was hot and fresh. I would not hesitate to return next time I'm in the area!

    Hot and Sour Soup
    Haeley R.

    This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant for four years now! We love the hot and sour soup, and the orange chicken is a classic. Service is always polite and efficient, and we've never had to wait very long. The interior is always clean and we feel very comfortable there!

    General Tso Chicken lunch special. Super good!
    Savannah R.

    Such a great spot for both lunch or dinner! Each time I've frequented this restaurant, the food is always delicious and portions are very generous. I love that they offer lunch specials thru the weekend. Lunch is served with an egg roll and fried rice is $2 extra. My go to is the Mongolian Beef. Very tender & flavorful served with a good amount of meat and love the mushrooms! My only complaint is the pricing. My lunch total with fried rice is almost $13, which seems more like dinner pricing to me. The restaurant is small & clean and offers a few high top table as well as booths. Not the cheapest option but food is great!

    the food was not great, found a skinny pointy metal piece in my fried rice. (photo attached)

    Chicken Pad Thai

    This place is amazing. If you read a bad review it is not true. The staff is super nice and very attentive to details. I order two appetizers and within 5mim one came out after the other, hot fresh off the stove. Shortly after my chicken pad Thai and orange chicken with fried rice came out hot and ready to enjoy. The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend 12 out of 10. 8/10/2025 this is amazing!

    We tried this restaurant based on reviews. It's in the corner of a strip mall. Compact dining room with soft colors. Friendly staff. Order and pay at counter then food is delivered to table. Fresh veggies/ingredients. Delicious flavors. Generous portions. We had the orange chicken, appetizer sampler, general tso and sesame chicken with lo mein and crab Rangoon. Delicious. Would return when in area.

    It was mostly shiitake mushroom. The chicken texture was minimal. Shiitake got stuck in my teeth and rubbery

    This is a great Chinese take-out place. The food was so good, not super salty, and they have generous portions. They are reasonably priced and have an extensive menu with lots of vegetarian options. I loved everything I ordered, and will definitely order again.

Our party of three decided to split one of the numerous salads they offer & went with the steak & walnut salad. It includes grilled steak slices, blue cheese crumbles & crispy onion rings ( made in house) . The dressing was a light vinaigrette that made this a delicious & delightful thing to share amongst us all. For dinner we went with one of their "create your own" pizzas. Our favorite toppings are: pepperoni, garlic & basil. This was a great presentation & pie! From service to staff, to cooks in the kitchen we had a great dining experience! Everything was legit. We will be back to try a burger next time. This is a really cool place with a wide selection of outstanding food & bar beverage options. Highly recommend it.

It was impossible for them to not know that the bread was stale and hard. The order was at 10:15 AM so it was not a situation where it sat out long enough in the day to get hard. This had to be yesterdays stale bread. I have to ask who does this? Do they think the customer is going to find this acceptable? Paper on the cheese and stale bread on a 20.00 sandwich. There is genuinely no excuse for this and who ever prepared this food needs to be either reprimanded or terminated. You have one job and that is to make a quality product. If things like this are happening it makes me wonder what other corners are cut and if there is actually any manager overseeing quality and safe practices! I would give zero stars if that was an option.

There are so many breweries and pubs around here that there's pretty tough competition. As other reviewers have stated, their duck fat fries are great! So crispy and the herbs really elevate it. They can be a little heavy handed with the salt to the point where you may see salt piles on your fries, but at least the salt granules are larger and can be easily swept off. Although their fries are great on their own, they unfortunately struggle to strand up when loaded. I'm not sure how they do it, but we've been to places where fries can remain crispy even when loaded with toppings. Their poutine is still tasty though if you don't mind your fries soggy. Their burgers have great beefy flavor, but after trying a few of their burger options, my partner and I also feel that some other places do their unique burger stylings a bit better. A lot of the toppings overwhelm rather than contribute to the overall burger. There's plenty of searing both indoors and out. You have bar top, high table, and regular table style seating for indoors. There's plenty of 4 person tables outdoors under shade and also with misters on if it's hot out. Indoor seating offers plenty of viewing for sports. Service is also pleasant. Due to how they source their ingredients, the overall menu is on the pricier side. Although my partner and I prefer other breweries more, we do think it's still worth it to try visiting Arizona Wilderness Brewing at least once.
