I am absolutely in love with Wei Asian Café's home style tofu! As someone who is water chestnut-adverse, I can't tell you how thrilled I am that they don't automatically add them to this dish. Instead, it's a perfect mix of tofu and vegetables, all coated in their rich, flavorful brown sauce. What really sets them apart is how they prepare their tofu. This is the only restaurant I've found in Tucson that actually presses the tofu properly--getting all the water out so it can fully soak up the amazing flavors. It makes such a huge difference, and they nail it every time. I live on the west side, but whenever my friends suggest Wei for lunch, I get so excited to make the trip. Totally worth it, every single time. Highly recommend! read more

Great Asian food. Servers were very attentive, kind and helpful. Quiet restaurant with charm. read more

Wei Asian Cafe - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food-Ordered my go-to dish General Tso's Chicken. Can't say that I've ever had a soy sauce based Tso's dish but that is what you get here. The chicken was fine but I even asked about the sauce and the guy confirmed that yes this is in fact GEN Tso's chicken. Everything else was great food wise. Probably the cleanest chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Service was fine. Ambiance was the usual cut and paste type of wall hangings and seating. Nothing unusual in the look of the place. But did I mention that in all my eating of chinese foods and ordering the GTC dish I have never had a sauce that was like this and I have to say that I did not like it. No spice to it either so bottomline is my guess is that something got lost in translation of what I ordered vs what I got. Just guessing at this point. Yelp on! read more

Dined most recently 4/3/2024 Ample parking, located next to the Safeway off Golf Links and Harrison. Ambiance/Cleanliness-Average strip mall Chinese restaurant, clean enough 3 stars Service-Adequate, but I swear the server is not into it 2 stars Food- reasonably priced lunch special, which has plenty of choices. Average at best hot and sour soup, egg roll, fried rice and got a beef dish last time. It's not bad, I just don't crave it 3 stars. read more

I've been going to this place for years. But I had not been here since the format change and/or change of ownership. I don't like it anymore. First of all they charge ME a convenience fee for ordering online. Seems to me this is a convenience for them. They don't have to answer the phone. The food Mongolian chicken, Chicken vegetables and egg rolls were very lacking in the protein and flavors. The egg rolls were poorly made, one bite and the whole inside pulls out in your mouth. We had 4 of them, all the same. What's up with this place? The War wonton soup was pretty good. That's a plus. There are too many good options available for me to consider a visit here again. I hate being so negative, but what happened? Just not the great Wei-asian I've enjoyed for years. read more

Was our first visit. Generous portions for a reasonable price. Will ask for no MSG next time since fried rice was too salty. Overall good. Service and staff friendly. Very clean and well kept restaurant. Do plan to return. read more

Another lucky find for a Filipino-American like me! Asian Fusion. Service is truly out of this world. We were the first customers so ambiance for me is the best. Check out my pictures. Salivating! You're welcome. Overall score: 4.90 read more

Very cozy restaurant with a calming vibe! Very kind and attentive workers, and great food!

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - one of the dishes was great but the other two were meh.... Salted Squid with Hot Jalapeño Pepper (Chef's Recommendation #12) 5/5 - was battered and fried squid with some bro and peppers. Flavor and texture was great with a hint of sweetness, some saltiness, and ends with a great kick! Mongolian Beef (Beef Dish #15) 2/5 - is typically a beef dish marinated with soy sauce and brown sugar then fried with some ginger, chili peppers, and green onion. Corn starch may be used to thicken the sauce. We got a dish that was 75% onion and 15% green onion then just little pieces of meat drenched in sugar and sauce. The texture of the meat was oddly soft to where it almost disintegrate as you bite it. For something that was recommended, we couldn't finish the dish Cantonese Lo Mein with Pork 2/5 - the noodles were very short and choppy. Not much flavor to the dish other than saltiness from soy sauce At the bottom of the box. Would not have been able to tell you the protein if we didn't order it Ambience: n/a - ordered food to go. Restaurant was nicely decorated but a bit dim inside. Many to go orders but no one eating in the store Service: 5/5 - very friendly and was able to give recommendations. From conversation we heard, it sounds like it's a family ran business and the cashier has been working there for 8-9 years Value for price: 2/5 - food was hit or miss but the pricing or what they charged us for wasn't clear since they don't provide receipt with item charge. Squid ($14.95) + Beef ($12.95) + Lo Mein ($11.95) = $39.85 + tax (8.7%) = $43.32 but we were charged $44.40. Not a huge difference but there was an extra dollar added somewhere :/ read more

Finally, a decent Chinese restaurant on the east side of town. Flavors were good. Not outstanding, mind you, but good enough. Definitely not up to par with my favorites on the west side of town (China Szechwan, Jun Dynasty, Guilin, Noodleholics). But it will do. We had the cashew chicken and the beef broccoli. I always get beef broccoli to get a baseline on the restaurant. The beef and the broccoli were plentiful. The beef was tender. The broccoli just a tad tough, not too big of a deal. Cashew chicken was flavorful, but I would liked to have had about 15%, 20% more chicken and about 100% more cashews. I added cashews to it. But it was good. It has chopped water chestnuts in it, which I liked, and mushrooms from a can, not a big deal. A note about the rice. It was slightly larger grained than the usual long grain Chinese rice and was sticky. I liked it. My favorite rice is Japanese rice and this was close to it. The stickiness made it easier to eat with chopsticks and soaks up the sauce more. This was a take out order and the container of rice they gave was larger than the usual size you get for Chinese take out and I appreciated that, too. Service was good. I walked in, ordered, and 10 minutes later was out the door. They were not busy and I think only one phone order ahead of me, but I heard him tell the kitchen that I was a waiting customer. See my photos of the menu for updated pricing. I'll try them again and report again. 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! read more

This is one of those places that you can count on. Beef and broccoli, orange chicken, fried rice, crab Rangoon, all are made with consistent flavors. If you're looking for a "go to" Chinese food place on the East side, this is it. read more

I never leave negative reviews but I am so very disappointed that the Wei Asian we've known and loved for years is no more. Apparently under new management. The pork egg rolls are slender with little filling and too much wrapper, the BBQ pork fried rice is flavorless and the sesame beef was flabby not crunchy and has an off putting flavor. We won't get food here again. It's a crying shame because the original Wei Asian was so special and had delicious food and a variety of well prepared Asian food of many types read more

Wonderful family business. Always very friendly and kind. Always delicious food. Been going here for over 12 years and is still our first choice for takeout. Thank you! read more

My daughter was chewing thechicken and found these strips of metal inside the chicken. When I called the restaurant, they wouldn't believe that these were found in the food and denied a refund. The manager offered another meal, NO THANK YOU!! read more

This unassuming hole-in-the-wall is in a strip mall at the southwest corner of Golf Links and Harrison. Someone on my Nextdoor website was looking for a Chinese restaurant in the hood and everyone overwhelmingly recommended this place. I went down on a Wednesday night. There were a few tables occupied, so seating was plentiful. The two of us started with a Thai Beef Salad - it was excellent. Red and Green peppers, scallions, tomatoes sat on a bed of lettuce, with a nice pungent tamarind dressing. The beef was tender and grilled to perfection. For main courses we had were Orange Chicken (looked unassuming but was packed with bright flavor), Squid with Vegetables (really recommended), and Pad Thai. All were tasty, well executed, and had tons of flavor. Between the Thai and Chinese cuisines ordered, both stood true to authentic flavors. The Pad Thai could have used more bean sprouts for crunch and more limes on the plate to squeeze over. I will return. About ten minutes from my house, and I'm sure the food to go would hold up by the time you got home. read more

Foul food. We ordered two entrees, orange chicken and Mongolian Beef. Both were awful. Third time to order second time disappointing. Delivery was great through door dash it arrived hot but in a grease ridden sack. One bite, it was in the sack and to the trash read more

Wei Asian Cafe does delivery! One of the "gems" of the Eastside, this spot serves up major varieties of Asian cuisine. Granted, the majority of the dishes in the menu is mostly Chinese food but they have some Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, and more. So far, I had a craving for pad thai and their take has beef, shrimp, and chicken all in one dish! It was different but good. If you're wanting Vietnamese, they do have pho or bun thit nuong (grilled porkchop over vermicelli) or the spring rolls. The other dish that I really enjoyed from this place is the Eggplant with garlic sauce, which isn't always great in most delivery places but really packed well from them. I've never tried to dine in pre-covid times but from the quality of the delivery I'm sure the food is worth the try especially with the minimal options for Asian food this side of town. read more

War wonton soup is amazing always fresh! Ambiance is quiet and always clean been coming here for years

Was looking for Chinese food and decided to try a new place. Prior experiences in Tucson have been discouraging for decent Chinese food. At last! A small restaurant that is clean, friendly, attentive wait staff and properly prepared dishes. Tried the vegie egg rolls that arrived fresh from the fryer but weren't soaking in oil nor over/under-cooked. Portions were large and had sizeable quantities of vegies versus sauce. I did fried tofu with broccoli and carrots. Tofu crispy exterior! Husband tried Hong Kong Ho Fan- chkn, beef, shrimp & bbq pork on glass noodles. Prices very reasonable. read more

Ordered takeout. Quick, good prices and great flavors. I recommend their beef lomein.

new mgt and owner I'm guessing, this was our fav, but no longer - food was no way as good as with prior owners. Moving on.

Great food - big variety of Asian dishes. Fast delivery. Have been ordering for delivery and also eating at the restaurant for many years. Quiet atmosphere to dine with pleasant service staff. read more

The food was typical Chinese, nothing bad, or spectacular, just good fried rice and entrees. Generous portions. Great service. The dining area was a little dingy, the aquarium must either get upgraded or taken out. We will eat here again. read more

This place was our favorite, but we won't go back. At best my food was bland, at worst it was weird tasting, I threw it out. It looks like ownership changed, that would make sense, as this place was consistently fantastic for years. What a shame. read more

Ordered teriyaki meal but got chachew chicken with teriyaki sauce... not the same. White rice and fried rice was very bland. Disappointed in meal, don't know if they change management or not, use to be my favorite place to eat but now I will go somewhere else to eat. Would not recommend to my friends or eat there again read more

Bbq pork fried rice was delicious, I had their chicken curry and it was alright. Great people I'd definitely try a different dish next time

The price is high and the food is average. They've added a delivery fee and then the driver still wants a tip. Side note. I went to pick up food instead of having it delivered and the entire 10 minutes I was waiting no one bussed the tables with food and no people. Won't be going back. read more

I give this place 5 stars if you go Friday or Saturday nights. The best chef must be on duty those nights, because the food is always excellent. We especially like the vegetable egg foo yung, lo mein, kung pao whatever, and sesame whatever. Moo shu is pretty good, and our son adores the miso soup with tofu and seaweed. Cashew chicken is tasty, but too many water chesnuts for me. Remember, Fridays or Saturday nights. Other days, it has been fine, but not the same. read more

I visited Wei's after reading a review in the Daily Star. They offer an extremely diverse array of food, including Cantonese, Szechuan, Thai, Korean, & Vietnamese. The lunch special is offered 7 days per week, ranges in price from $7.82-$8.82. Lunch includes soup (hot& sour, or egg flower) an egg roll, and rice (steamed or bbq fried rice). Deciding which of the 20 dishes to try was a challenge, but I ended up ordering the Szechuan fish, hot and sour soup, and steamed rice. Every table gets wonton chips and sweet and sour sauce. I enjoyed the soup, the egg roll was unremarkable, and the fish was delicious and unlike any other I've had. It consists of 4-5 pieces of lightly fried delicate white fish, rich brown gravy, and what I assume are frozen vegetables. Impressively, the crispy crust survived the gravy. While it was a salt bomb, I loved it. They have a number of lobster dishes, which was interesting, though perhaps not enough to actually order. However, I will be returning to try the Peking Duck. read more

Only take out... read about in FB ... being native New Yorker, I know Chinese food .. ordered over phone and unable to see a menu nor prices... that was tough!! Had to bring to family 13 miles away.. Spent $60!! Everything seemed to cost $10.95‍ Picked up all seemed there, but paid for some extras.. only 1/2 bag of extra noodles, egg foo young was just so so small, Extra mustard only 1 tiny container.. for that much food was sad! The Lo Mein was very tasty, the crab wontons were outstanding.. chicken chow mein was delicious and free with large order fried rice wasn't as good as I had hoped (it was raved about)..Mushu chicken was yummy Guess I'd order carefully again read more

I'll start by saying that I use to come here all the time when I was younger. It was close to my parents house so I would frequent it often. It's probably been 2 plus years since I had been here and I was very disappointed in the food. When you first walk in there is a display of a Buddha and it had so much dust on it clearly hadn't been cleaned in months. My wife and I sat down the server was very nice got our drinks order. I ordered Pepsi wife got tea both tasted weird and an appetizer. We got "the volcano" sounded good a sample of several different things. It was plated well but an absolute waste of money $18.99 and not good at all I wish I had taken pictures. The chicken wings were so small and not seasoned, nothing was seasoned just very disappointing for almost $20 bucks. Entrée I got Mongolian beef my wife got teriyaki chicken neither was bad but not great. My wife had mushrooms in her teriyaki chicken and she hates mushrooms but there is no descriptions on the menu. Over all it's expensive little dirty and I would definitely stay away from the volcano unfortunately I probably won't go back read more

Delivery! The food has always arrived hot and as ordered. The portions are large and we can feed four with two entrees, rice, and crab puffs.

Expensive!!!!! food quality is just alright but $6 for a side of broccoli is ridiculous!!!! I only go cause it's super close to my house and usually don't want to drive over 5 minutes in lazy nights.
