    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 :)

    "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

    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)

    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

    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!

    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 beef ribs were delicious a fair portion for the price. I did not get the fried rice as I thought 1495 was overpriced for rice.

    We have been here twice in a few weeks because this is our new favorite Sushi restaurant…read more The restaurant is clean and has a simple style. The staff are very friendly. 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!

    Surprisingly bad. I ordered the chicken and pineapple fried rice and a spicy tuna roll…read more Both were the worst I've had. The spicy tuna roll was especially strange - it had no flavor. I didn't know what I was eating. Eventually I could pick up some spiciness, but it was subtle. It was so bland and mushy, I wasn't even sure I was eating tuna. At one point I pulled a piece of the roll apart to take a closer look. I couldn't tell if it was tuna or not - I assume they use some kind of filler ingredients in addition to tuna (maybe that's normal for spicy tuna rolls, but they normally taste much better than this). The fried rice was the worst I've had, though still edible. The pineapple was strange in that it didn't taste like pineapple - I guess it wasn't ripe yet. So no pineapple flavor in the pineapple fried rice. Beyond that, the dish was bland. The unfortunate reality is that Tucson has low standards for Asian food, and shockingly bad places can stick around for years. Some of you remember Yokohama Rice Bowl, a local fast food chain, which was awful, and immediately displaced when Panda Express arrived, which is 10x better... It's too bad that Ni's isn't trying to do something great.

    Ordered this for the first time on UberEats using the BOGO Combo Bop deal. I ordered 2 bowls with…read morebeef and chicken, but unfortunately they were out of beef. They ended up deciding to give us pork and rock chicken as substitutes, and I was not disappointed at all! I am grateful for the sub, the pork had delicious flavor as did the rock chicken and regular chicken. I got the sauces on the side, at a level 5 and 3. Although tasty, I didn't feel the bowl needed it so I ate it without sauce. Also opted for the Mandoo, and those were delicious as well. They included a note on our receipt that they were sorry for no beef, which I thought was a sweet, personal touch. I deducted a star as I felt the rice could have been softer, but the bowl overall was delicious and very fairly portioned for just $15. I will definitely be a returning customer!

    Made an online order and picked up Doochibop, only to find out they didn't add sauce…read more As it turns out, they ran out of the sauce. Now, they could have told me that, comped my order, promised to redo my order when they could make it, *APPOLOGISE* But no, the next day, after being told to come in to "talk to Mark" about fixing the issue, he just stared at me blankly and said, "What can I do about it?" Maybe he's still as green as the poison part of a potato and didn't know how to fix it, I have my doubts when he was the same guy who was happy to keep his mouth shut and not tell me my order could not be completed as requested, and make me pay full price for it. Moving forward, I will probably need to call head to make sure I don't get what shafted, double-check my order, and make a list of employees I know will take the piss and commit to sub-par service.
