Another fabulous meal at Jun Dynasty. Tried the moo shu for the first time here. Added tofu. Very good. For vegans- tell them no egg in the moo shu. Eggplant is always good and so beautiful. The homestyle tofu is our go to. The woods ear mushroom is so delicious. Service is always good. read more

A solid four star establishment! I wanted to take my wife to a recent discovery, a Chinese restaurant in Tucson, but I found out they are closed on Tuesdays. So I searched Yelp and I found this gem, Jun Dynasty. We traveled an hour and forty minutes from Maricopa to try this place. I could've traveled to other Chinese restaurants in half the time in and around Phoenix and Scottsdale, but something just intrigues me about Tucson. Jun is located in an older part of Tucson and its location can be misleading. But trust me, you want to try this place. We were immediately greeted and seated after we entered the establishment. We were handed menus and asked what we'd like to drink and I ordered Oolong tea and water. The menu included several authentic dishes not found at other Chinese restaurants. I kept it simple though and ordered Walnut Shrimp for my wife, Steamed Dumplings in Peppercorn sauce, Salt & Pepper Fried Fish, and Bok Choy. Steamed dumplings were the first dish brought out. I ordered this because my wife can't eat anything spicy. Well this had a kick to it even I wasn't expecting. It was numbing, literally! Some restaurants will even list this type of dish as cooked in numbing oil. Soon after swallowing the dumpling, a numbing sensation enveloped our tongues. Sorry honey; I thought I ordered a mild dish. I ended up eating all of them. It was hard tasting the other dishes because of the numbing effect. The walnut shrimp came out next and I have to say, they were probably the best I had; even better than Fat's in Sacramento who set the bar back in the day. My wife devoured them. Bok choy was brought out next and she also loved them. They were served with I think a garlic sauce and it was very tasty. The Salt & Pepper fried fish were delivered last and they were also good. However, my wife preferred the walnut shrimp. I did have better S & P fish elsewhere, but these were still good. I can't speak enough about the staff. They were the friendliest I ever experienced in a Chinese restaurant. Our server always checked on us to make sure everything was fine. They all even said good-bye when we left. Yeah, I picked a good one! read more

I don't come to Jun Dynasty as often as I should. Every time I visit, I'm reminded of how consistently good the food is. Their takeout is always reliable, the portions are generous, and the quality never seems to waver. Recently, my family gathered here for dinner, and everything was delicious. We ordered the Ma Po Tofu, Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet, and, of course, the Peking Pork Strips, which are an all-time favorite and a must-order for us. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm always happy to see the restaurant busy whenever I stop by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In an industry where consistency can be hard to find, Jun Dynasty continues to deliver quality food year after year. It has become a true Tucson staple, and it deserves all the support it receives from the community. read more

Popped in here on a Thursday evening around 7 PM. We were seated immediately. We got two orders of the chicken eggrolls (delicious. And cooked perfectly with a little crisp.) and I tried their Mongolian beef for the first time. It was a little spicy, but delicious. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in a random shopping center but once inside, you forget about outside lol. In my opinion, it looks nice inside and you're greeted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is very friendly, seems like they all could be family. We started with pan fried pork dumplings and crab puffs. The pork dumplings were really good. The crab puffs are so far, thee best crab puffs my wife and I have had! They look like any other crab puffs you can get other places but once you try them, you'll understand once that flavor hits. We ordered Mongolian shrimp, beef noodles, sesame chicken. The shrimp and noodles have a spice kick, but the flavor was delicious! The Mongolian shrimp did have a lot more veggies and little shrimp but it was okay. The sesame chicken was great too. The beef noodles were also good. Have a fresh garlic taste to them too. Definitely will eat here or keep in my suggestions whenever we plan on eating Chinese food for sure. read more

We were on the hunt for a new family dinner spot and craving great Chinese food with solid vegan options for us adults with dietary restrictions. Enter Jun Dynasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We pulled up to a completely full parking lot and a crowd of people waiting out front, which is always a promising sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we asked for a table, we were quoted a pretty long wait. To be fair, we did not make a reservation, so that one is on us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Normally I am not the type to wait that long, but the restaurant smelled absolutely amazing. That aroma alone convinced us to stick it out, and I am so glad it did.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once we were seated, our drink orders were taken and delivered quickly. The menu had a wide variety of dishes, including several vegetarian and vegan options, which we really appreciated. It would have been helpful to have more detailed descriptions on the menu, but our server was happy to answer questions and walk us through everything. We ordered the ma po tofu, braised tofu with vegetables, and vegetable chow fun noodles. My daughter went with the orange chicken and wonton soup. About ten minutes later, the noodles and soup arrived. The bowl of soup was big enough for the entire table, which made my daughter very happy. The noodles were delicious, and shortly after we started eating, the rest of the dishes came out. The braised tofu was loaded with large chunks of bell peppers and flavorful black mushrooms. The ma po tofu came in a vibrant red chili sauce topped with Szechuan peppercorn and brought just the right amount of heat. Everything was absolutely delicious. I am really glad we decided to wait and give this place a try. Jun Dynasty definitely earned a spot in our dinner rotation, and we will be back soon. read more

I come every few months. Today I tried something new. Today I tried the Spicy Ribs in Dried Pot. It was marked as spicy, but was not too spicy. He had a great flavor. Went there as a party of 7.

Jun Dynasty Chinese Restaurant - Spicy ribs in hot pot - Szechuan Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The best Chinese food period! I brought a chef friend from Los Angeles and she concurred. Another well traveled friend can't get enough either. The people who work there are really good and attentive. Same crew for the past few years. My favorites would be green beans, kung pao chicken and moo shoo. The hot pots make many happy but idk it wasn't for me. Theres always a line on weekends but they have a great online order app and I have used it and run over to pick up. We like it so much we've catered a little party of 10 with Jun dynasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The back room has a few big round tables and it's a fun way to share food and get your friends together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We stopped here for lunch Sunday. Fantastic experience. We had a party of 3. Service was prompt . The lunch special, offered 7 days a week is a great value. You get choice of soup, egg roll , rice and can pick from over 30 entrees to choose. The portion is large. We ordered beef and broccoli, orange chicken and sweet sour pork . All delicious. read more

Local place but the food offered is both 'American Chinese' as well as many traditional dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean inside and service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had both some Americanized food as well as some traditional choices - all of which were very flavorful. Good sized portions also. Recommended - provided you are not looking for Panda Express or something like that! read more

Fenomenal menu here. Pork dumplings in red chili oil were fantastic. Spicy and sour Napa cabbage is very good in combination with pretty much any protein on the menu. Sautéed green beans are very flavorful, however these are incredibly spicy. Milk tea is yummy. I don't understand their hot and sour soup though so will not be ordering it in the future. Service is great from the moment you walk in and are greeted to servers that take your order and serve your food. read more

Just wanted/needed takeout. So ordered the broccoli chicken and the green onion beef on line. By the time I got there the food was done and bagged and Ives's in and out in 10 sec. I was happy they put everything inside these impenetrable plastic containers because the ride home on our city streets was plenty bumpy. I finally got the containers opened and was oh so underwhelmed with the taste. There was plenty of broccoli but the sauce was bland brown uninspired and watery even if they had dumped in an extra helping of garlic. The beef dish wasn't any better. There were some green in it along with probably an entire sliced yellow onion with the same poor excuse for a sauce as the chicken. These were not cooked by a Chinese chef. Nothing in this order was elevated to best in town flavor , no taste that goes with being made in a wok. Say something nice. I Did. The order was ready when I got there. Even on a bad day I can make a better Chinese stir fry sauce. I won't pickup here again. read more

I think the Chinese is close to American flavors than Chinese taste. Maybe I just need more msg who knows. But very popular with the locals and food is fresh. To me lacked a little more flavor or msg. My goal was to pair the dishes with plain white rice and kinda did not hit that spot. Still I would recommend all locals to go because they already do :) read more

The service was good and I'll definitely be back. read more

Jun Dynasty Chinese Restaurant - Menu - Szechuan Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food was good and the server was super attentive. The prices were certainly reasonable, lunch menu from $11-$18. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was much smaller than I expected, and quite outdated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servings were generous. The veggie egg roll was tiny, and not as good as a nearby local hamburger place that serves egg rolls. The hot and sour soup was awesome, and very spicy. I had my favorite, sweet and sour pork, which was good, but average, like one might expect at a Chinese buffet. The large mound of fried rice was below what I was expecting--no egg, no bits of meat, just a few peas and carrots, and very little flavor. Hubby had orange chicken, which tasted very close to the sweet and sour pork. Glowing reviews of long waits to be serveed and every table filled, were over enthusiastic. Only 4 tables had customers. Plenty of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cooking area, which can be seen from the dining tables, could use an upgrade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The scent of irresistible food cooking was absent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe because it was an early lunch on a Wednesday? We enjoyed our meal, but left wishing we had gone to our favorite Chinese buffet. Sadly, the buffet doesn't serve sweet and sour pork. We could go back again, if we are in the area and desperate for good, inexpensive, but not outstanding Chinese food. read more

Ok, so I was never a " crave Chinese food" person. Let me tell you that this place has made me that person! My husband and I have gone back every weekend since we discovered this place 1 month ago. Every time we go back we try a new dish. No disappointments yet and I don't think we will ever be disappointed. My favorite is the vegetable hot pot. The texture of all the delicious vegetables and different forms of tofu are amazing! The service was amazing the first time, I should say super friendly but since then we've had a server who is quick but not friendly so maybe that's a slight complaint, she's walking right in the line of being rude. This has not stopped us from returning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing I always pay attention to is the cleanliness and esthetic and this restaurant hits all the marks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lots of variety and made fresh to order. High quality meats and other ingredients. Loaded with flavors. Table loved the fried buns, which were like little pockets of sweet and fluffy donut. The wontons/dumplings were also a highlight. The brisket noodle soup was very flavorful and loaded with noodles, but there were several pieces of meat that had a lot of rubbery skin attached. Orange chicken had a nice, light and crispy fried exterior and sweet sauce. Shrimp were clean. Everything was tasty, so you can't go wrong. read more

We come here at least once a month. We have a few go to items which are the sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, hot and sour soup, steamed or pan fried dumplings and the chicken egg rolls. We've tried a few of the shrimp amd pork dishes but the ones listed are the best! Another favorite is the vegetable in garlic sauce. The service is always 10/10 and they do tend to get busy in waves along with alot of to go orders. Jun is one of our favorite places to eat. read more

I can't believe I didn't review Jun Dynasty yet. It's one of my two very favorite places in Tucson for authentic non Americanized Chinese dishes (the other is Jewel's Noodle house- a must try too, see my review!). At Jun Dynasty I love the Stir Fried Hot & Sour shredded potatoes (they reduced the spice level, I recommend asking for spicy if you eat spicy) , the Jalapeno W/ Dried Tofu sheet noodles, and the Yu Xiang Eggplant. Great service, great atmosphere, nice outdoor seating. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. read more

I now have a favorite Chinese (Szechuan to be exact) restaurant in Tucson! Everything was perfection-from the pork dumplings with chili oil (one of their signature appetizers according to our fine server) to the vegetable hot pot, complete with a flame underneath to keep the broth simmering the multitude of veggies like mushrooms, cabbage, peppers, and tofu to name a few - and two kinds (that I counted) of flavorful noodles: one had a long, thin soft texture and the other was broad and flat. Our waitress was at our table within seconds of my arrival. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I met my friend there about 4:15 so it was deceptively quiet inside - fast forward to 6 pm as we left a bustling, packed restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was already seated a few minutes earlier enjoying her Arnold Palmer (chocked full of fresh lemon slices and ice). I wasn't sure if the iced milk tea would be too sweet so I asked for a sample and she brought it, fast. It was a definite yes, as it had that delicate balance between sweet and bold black tea flavor. I wanted to try other options from the vast menu but settled on my old stand by, Kung Pao chicken. The thin, juicy slices of chicken, carrots and red and green pepper had just enough peanuts sprinkled throughout a spicy yet delicate sauce the Sichuan region is known for. According to a quick search, Sichuan cuisine relies heavily on ingredients like garlic, dried chilies, and Sichuan peppercorns to create its signature "mala" (numbing and spicy) sensation, whereas "Chinese food" can encompass many other regional styles that are often less spicy. I experienced this fun numbing effect while sampling her vegetable hot pot - and my chili oil dressed, tender pork dumplings. I'll go back for the Xinjiang Beef she mentioned was a speciality. They also have a meat version of the Spicy Hot Pot that has everything from beef to seafood to pork belly. I'm already looking forward to it. read more

Don't get the special ribs and shrimp. It's pretty disgusting. The shrimp are hole with head on impossible to take the shell off.

I ended up just throwing the crap out. read more

Jun Dynasty Chinese Restaurant - Shrimp Lo Mein with fried rice and delicious egg roll - Szechuan Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

What a delightful surprise! I came here for lunch today with my son. Neither of us had been here before, but we are so glad we gave it a try. We both had lunch specials. Mine was the hot and sour soup, sesame chicken with white rice and a vegetarian eggroll. It was the best hot and sour soup either of us ever had! The eggroll was hot, crispy and delicious. The chicken perfect. My son had the same sides in addition to the Kung pao tofu. He loved it and ate every single bite. The ambience was very cool and modern. The service was prompt and friendly. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes, it's really that good. read more

I go to Jun Dynasty at least every month for the last year. The staff have always been phenomenal, truly so kind. Pictured is the lunch special. You get a soup + 1 egg roll + a choice of rice + a choice from a list. It's less than $14 for all those before tax. I always appreciate that they don't assume people in your party don't know how to use chopsticks. This is an issue at other places. read more

Wow! I did not expect for the food to be this good. My first time coming here was with my friend and she was raving about this place. I had a few mediocre experiences with Chinese food in Tucson but this place has earned every star. Service is really quick and attentive when I have sat in. Pick up can be a long wait so definitely plan for that. I have tried the sesame chicken and it is always amazing. Lunch special is 11. Can't beat that The atmosphere is casual and afterwork. Very cozy place and always clean read more

Truly abysmal dining experience. We came toward the end of a rush so we understood that it would take a ut longer. However, after 3 tables that came on after us, got their food, ate, paid their bill and left before our meal came out, we were pretty upset. No one came to check in on us. We had to hunt down our waitress for the check because she was just not available after 20min from finishing. After 45min before our wood even came out, the waitress informed us they were out of fried rice, which would have been nice to know while ordering. The food? Overall mediocre. The Dan Dan noodles and iced tea were great. However the Yu Xiang pork and Sweet and Sour soup wasn't and can best be described as "sugary," which is not a word I would have ever thought I'd use to describe Chinese food. The items listed as spicy were mild at best which was very disappointing and misleading. It's abundantly clear that they do not know how to handle a crowd and are not equipped for it. The only reason we came here was because Chef Wang was closed, which is a restaurant that actually is equipped for handling crowds. Honestly? Just go there? It's a few minutes down the street, better service, better food, better experience. read more

A friend recommended this place and we went with a large group. The service was fine for two large tables. The food however is more like Chung King. I had the broccoli beef. The broccoli was raw, it was loaded with barely cooked onions, and there wasn't very much beef. My friends orange chicken was better. The pork ribs were pretty good. There were no Chinese vegetables in anything. Very Americanized. I don't think I'll go back. read more

Still a great place. One of my go-to meals has become the crispy honey walnut shrimp. SO good! Last time I went, though, they were completely out of it. (This happens sometimes with this dish.) The waitress, who always recognizes me, suggested the crispy honey walnut chicken. Hey, that's good, too! If the shrimp is a 10, the chicken is a 9.8 for enjoyment. This just a great Chinese restaurant, one of my two favorites in Tucson. 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
