Just a solid place to get Chinese food. The menu has Americanized Chinese food with the other half of the menu being more authentic Chinese dishes. Tasty either way.

Nice little restaurant located on the second floor of a shopping strip on University Avenue. We stopped for some boba, so didn’t sample any food. Friendly staff and prompt service. There is a 3.75% extra charge for using credit cards, so come with cash. Open Monday to Friday from 11 am to 8 pm.

great place! tucked away on the second floor of the southwest corner of university and park, it may be somewhat easy to miss. however, it’s definitely worth going to — fantastic food, large selection of boba / drink flavors, and very friendly/fast service! definitely my favorite restaurant on university

The tofu was amazing and I don’t care for tofu. Mongolian beef was so good, the beef was so tender it fell apart. Staff was super friendly. Definitely going back.

Started visiting this spot over 20 years ago when I was student at UofA. Visited two weeks ago now that a family member is attending school. Food is still great and authentic, service is excellent, and pricing is awesome. My favorites are the fried rice, spicy Szechuan chicken, and Lo-Mein. I will be sure to visit every time I am in town. Doesn’t get any better for Chinese in Tucson!
