    Chicken Pho okay not great.  Others in town better
    Jim S.

    This is a fast food establishment. Had to stand in line to order/pay just like McDonalds. If there is no server why is there a tip requested. I hate this new trend. I get it if I was getting it to go but I specifically said I was dining in. I got the chicken pho. It was okay nothing to write home about. The decor is fast food seating. Uncomfortable table and chairs. No booths. If you brought a first date here you wouldn't get a second date It's okay in a pinch but will probably not be back

    Amazing food, awesome friendly service The curry there was top-tier best I've had in the city the waiter was very nice and friendly gave us extra fortune cookies.

    Eggrolls, Chowfun Variety, Wontons
    Liana R.

    I've been coming here countless times, and I can confidently say this is my go-to spot for Asian food in Tucson! After trying various places around the city, nothing compares to the flavors and quality served here. The dishes are consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Definitely my favorite Asian food in town, and my favorite date spot :)

    Teriyaki wings
    Madelynn F.

    I placed a to go here. I Called and placed my order with ease. I got the pork egg rolls (very good, 2 in an order). For my entree I got the Beef and broccoli with fried rice (entirely too salty! I couldn't finish half of it.) and I got an order of teriyaki wings (A half dozen. They were a good size, bigger than most wings at other restaurants. But they were all drum sticks and it didn't taste like teriyaki to me. The flavor wasn't bad, like a hint of honey. But it did not taste like teriyaki to me)

    Still in search of a decent Chinese restaurant on the east side. All--and I mean all--of them are disappointing. So far I have tried almost all of them, many are 4 stars and the only conclusion I can come up with is that the good folks on the east side have no clue what good Chinese food is. I sure miss China Szechwan on the west side. As well as Jun Dynasty. Guilin Chinese Restaurant. Noodleholics. China Pasta House. So with that intro, not returning to Hot Wok. It was just OK. Had the sesame chicken that should be called "battered, deep-fried chicken in sweet sauce with a few sesame seeds for looks." Also the beef and broccoli (dish to gauge the baseline of a Chinese restaurant). It was OK, nothing to write home about. The beef was tender. The whole thing was good, sort of, but not spectacular as in "Wow! Good stuff, I want more!" You know you like the food when you look forward to the leftovers the next day. Meh. As a matter of fact, we threw the chicken away. I'll keep searching... 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. 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!

    "Mongolian Beef" supposedly

    The prices were great but the food was terrible. It looked disgusting, but the food was alright. Definitely not worth the price. The service was terrible. They were moody and forgot ALL the sauces in our order. The crab puffs we ordered said that they came with sweet and sour sauce, but they didn't. The "Mongolian Beef" looks nothing like Mongolian beef. Never coming here again, don't waste your time or money

    Orange chicken and rice, fried wonton

    Absolutely loved it! I got the orange chicken and white rice also fried wonton. I didnt eat the wonton i just simply didnt like it but the orange chicken with rice was delicious! Very big portions of food too..well the rice was very plain, (should have gotten fried rice) but okay when eating it with the chicken. The workers were nice, helpful and the food was served very fast. The place was nice and clean aswell, it was late so kind of empty..the table was a lil sticky im ngl im just ngl but mo issue!. The water was warm and tasted like tap but i really liked the orange chicken guys..also the fountain drinks were tasty aswell i didnt like the fortune cookies

    Beef Ribs
    Cardboard S.

    Delicious food at lightning speeds. I highly recommend the spring rolls and beef ribs as appetizers. But be warned, the beef ribs are GIANT! For entrees, I usually go with the pork vermicelli bowl if it's a hot day, and pho if it's a cold day. But I've never been disappointed in anything I've ordered. Today, we had the beef ribs, spring rolls, and pad Thai (pictures). Anyway, go eat here. The staff are super nice and the food is super good -- what else do you need?

    Me head to you

The amount of sushi you get compared to cost makes it very affordable. The plating is amazing as you can see in the photos. We opted for the combos which come with several pieces of sushi and some come with sashimi as well and rolls. The cuts of sushi were large and fresh. There was wasabi and ginger if you enjoy those. The rolls were creative and delicious. Our favorite was Ni Bistro roll followed by the Emerald. The sushi"wich" was very creative and looked like a sandwich. The Ni Bistro was full of flavor and had a lot of pieces. Overall, we highly recommend this new find on the Northwest side!

The quality was excellent, and the presentation was better than a nearby competitor. I found my new favorite sushi spot!. This place is close to my house, and yummy. Bonus.. the prices are VERY reasonable for 2026. Since I also love Thai food, I got Thai Curry chicken to go. I tried a bit of it tonight for flavor, and it is flavorful , with a nice kick of heat (however next order I will ask for more heat). I will be back very soon!

We arrived around 7:30 p.m., and the restaurant doesn't close until 9:30 p.m. Not even 20 minutes after we sat down, while there were still plenty of customers coming in and the restaurant was nearly full, the staff had already started removing food trays and weren't replacing them. It felt like they were shutting the buffet down long before closing time. To make matters worse, employees were mopping the floors around our feet while we were still eating, leaving the floors extremely slippery and making us feel rushed. The BBQ/sushi area closed at 8:30 p.m., and there were only three plates of dried-out sushi left. We never even got the chance to try the BBQ station they advertise. The desserts were dry and unappetizing, and overall the food was bland and lacked flavor. We spent $112 for dinner, plus a $20 tip because our server was attentive, friendly, and deserved it. The service from him was the only positive part of our visit. For the price, this experience was not worth it. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

So I called and they were incredibly nice and immediately gave me a refund well an hour later somebody found the bag. I felt so stupid. And really really bad. I called them to let them know they said don't worry about it and I said no I cannot do that and I had someone stop by the next day to give them the money that they had refunded me so kindly.

The menu appetizers include gyoza, edamame, but they also serve Mexican torito--which is a chili pepper stuffed with cream cheese & shrimp then deep fried. I was really looking forward to it but unfortunately the ones I got served were still frozen inside. Unfortunate as the outside coating was perfectly fried and not too oily but I guess that's why it didn't really get cooked the whole way. Now, you'd think I would've left after the not-so-great apps, but def had to stay for the entrees. What's great about this place is really their donburi bowls, specifically, the unagi donburi bowl. Has just enough unagi, maybe a little too much rice but never the less, a really great sauce to tie it together. They've got a slew of fried sushi rolls but I've never really been a fan of those. They also have "teppan" meals which are dishes with your choice of protein served with rice on the side. They also do have nigiri and baked rolls as well. Inside the restaurant, I really liked the fake grass wall with their sign on it and the server was very nice. I would have given them a higher rating but the uncooked torito kinda did turn me off. Definitely would still go to this place and/or order delivery as long as it's the teri/sushi type dishes not the torito. Overall, Terisushi is one of the better Mexican sushi places in town.

First, if bar seating is available, I highly recommend taking it. Service tends to be much faster there, especially during busy times. The staff is friendly and works hard, but they often seem overwhelmed, which can make refills and table service a little slow at times. The happy hour specials are fantastic and offer excellent value. The drink selection is solid, with fair and moderately priced cocktails and beverages. If you order one thing, make it the spicy edamame--it's easily one of the standout items on the menu. As for the sushi, the fish tastes fresh and most of the rolls are delicious. The only item I would personally skip next time is anything topped with the tempura sauce, as I found it didn't complement the rolls very well. Beyond that, the sushi quality was excellent. One important tip: avoid arriving on concert or event nights unless you're prepared to wait. During busy events at Casino del Sol, wait times can stretch to two hours or more. Again, if you can grab a seat at the bar, you'll likely have a much better experience. Overall, Ume offers fresh sushi, great happy hour specials, friendly staff, and reasonable drink prices. Despite occasional service delays during peak times, it's definitely worth a visit.
