The range of flavors is not especially broad or intense, but with that caveat, the mix of Mandarin, Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine can be quite satisfying, with a particular variety of fish and seafood dishes. (10-30-08)

C. I. Chu's Mongolian Barbecue

4540 E. Broadway Blvd. East side

881-4798

Chinese

Also at 7039 E. Tanque Verde Road (886-8619). C.I. Chu’s does Mongolian barbecue right. While the do-it-(mostly)-yourself experience can be a bit confusing for first-time diners, this is a place to go for a relatively fast, affordable, uncomplicated and tasty bit of Asian food. (8-12-04)

China Pasta House

430 N. Park Ave. Central

623-3334

Chinese

This small UA-area restaurant features the delicious cuisine of Dandong, China. Gruel, dumplings, buns and noodle dishes fill out the menu. The pasta quality may vary—sometimes, it’s mushy; sometimes, it’s not—but the food is always tasty. The spicy, peppery “hot and sour noodles with three shredded stuff” is highly recommended.

If you have a taste for dim sum on the weekend, you're in for a cultural treat. The procuring of dumplings from pushcarts is a noisy business, but if you are hard up for dim sum, it will get you by. Dim sum is served on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. (10-17-02)

Chinese, Menu

While not matching the level of Bay Area Chinese restaurants, the crowded Dragon Village is perfectly fine by Tucson standards, with remarkable walnut shrimp and a good way with broccoli. (4-10-08)

Dragon's View Asian Cuisine

Chinese, Menu

Since original owner Harry Gee regained control of this secluded westside restaurant (it's on a street that winds along the west side of the Santa Cruz between St. Mary's Road and Congress Street), the fare is once again some of the best Chinese food in town. The duck, for one thing, is excellent, and the greens are also terrific if you let the staff guide your choice. (4-2-09)

The food here is consistently as good as what you’d find in San Francisco or Hong Kong. Austere atmosphere, but when the kitchen is on, this place is it.

Great Wall China

2445 S. Craycroft Road. Southeast

Chinese, Menu

The service is quick and friendly; the décor is clean and welcoming. And the food? It’s consistently tasty, although the vegetarian offerings could use a boost. The pan-fried noodles are worth checking out, as is the not-too-sweet sesame chicken. Great Wall deserves to be part of the conversation when discussing Tucson’s top Chinese restaurants. (1-31-08)

Chinese

If having a menu written in Chinese is any indication of authenticity then this midtown spot is as authentic as it gets. With items such as sizzling wok intestine and spicy frog in casserole, you have to admit they’re offering something beyond the typical. Plenty of the usual subjects can also be found for the less adventurous eaters among us. The emphasis here is Szechuan, so there’s lots of heat. We loved the dan-dan noodle on the dim sum menu and the dumplings are some of the best we’ve sampled. Portions are huge and prices are reasonable. (10-24-13)
