Asian Spice - Tucson

Authentic Cantonese cuisine, it's great to have this in Tucson. The dishes are affordable, delicious, and come in generous portions. The owners are very friendly - definitely worth a visit.

The food was excellent, with the medium spice level being just right for us. The soup could have been hotter. The restaurant was bustling when we got there, but the servers were friendly and the wait was manageable.

The food at this restaurant is exceptionally good and reasonably priced for the quality. However, dining in can be quite loud due to the small space, so I prefer getting takeout. The food is truly excellent.

Speaking as a chef and Asian food connoisseur, the high rating on this place brings great sadness to my ancestors. I really hate to see this happen.. all of their recipes are correct and their ingredients are fresh but every seasoning is less than halfof what it should be. The hot and sour soup was not spicy nor sour. Their spicy level hot was a 1/10 on the spicy meter. Theentrees were extremely light on every corner of the taste spectrum: savory, sweet, umami and sour. This is no joke, literallyevery seasoning was cut in half. I can only assume this was done intentionally to suit their local clientele. If you are lookingfor good Chinese food, this ain 't it. If you are in a certain demographic that thinks pepper is too spicy and a pinch of salt isenough for a pot of soup you 'll love this place.

The food and the service was great. It?s been difficult for my family to find a good Asian restaurant in the Tucson area, particularly in the Oro Valley area. But Asian Spice had high reviews, so we drove 30 minutes just to try it and I?m so glad wedid. This instantly became our go-to restaurant for Asian cuisine. My wife comes from a Japanese family and we used to eat manydifferent Asian cuisines up in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN area where there?s no shortage of great Asian food. At Asian Spice,I had the Firecracker Chicken with fried rice. It?s spicy, but not too spicy where the heat overpowers the flavor. Perfect. Thefried breading around the chicken pieces was crunchy. The portions were generous. My wife tried the Pad Thai with shrimp. Mydaughter had the sweet and sour chicken, her favorite. They were both equally impressed with their meals. There are Chinese,Japanese, and Mongolian varieties. There may be more. I don?t have a good recollection of everything in the menu, but there?s agood variety for any appetite. For appetizers, we had egg rolls and crab wantons. The egg rolls were flaky anddelicious. There aren?t many booths or tables for dining in, but it wasn?t too busy when we arrived, so we were able to dineinside. The restaurant does take-out as well. I will drive 30 minutes just to have this food again. I recommend giving AsianSpice a try.
