    Egg Flower Soup
    Lindsey H.

    So happy to have a delicious Chinese spot nearby that has daily lunch specials and a wonderful variety of dishes. I've dined in and gotten takeout several times, and the food is delicious both ways. Service is friendly. There aren't a ton of booths, so you may have to wait, but they're quick and efficient. I love the cashew chicken, sesame chicken, and moo goo gai pan. The fried rice is the perfect complement, and the egg flower soup and egg rolls are tasty too. Don't skip the hot mustard, it's the real stuff. Even the Thai tea is great! The lunch special is an unbeatable value and has earned me as a loyal customer. Can't wait to keep trying more options from the menu.

    Chicken Chop Suey
    Eva S.

    This restaurant was recommended by a friend since my daughter craved Chinese food this week. The food was just okay. I guess we are used to great restaurants back in the East Coast. The food portion does not fit the price(even with inflation) as you can see from the pics, the plastic food containers were not full. So weird! Coming from the Midwest that's not how it's done. Either you fill it all the way or choose a smaller container. It looks like leftover food I used to take home at the end of the day from our own restaurant. We did get a full box of rice. The crab puffs aka crab rangoon, are very very very very tiny. Like less than half the size of a normal puff. The chicken Chop Suey, my husband did not have anything to say about it, I didn't like it because of the way it looked and the flavor. The chicken looked weird, not sure how it was cooked/ prepared it had a strange texture/look. All this food was takeout $61 (found +tip) so I can't say much about the restaurant ambience since we didn't dine-in but it was a very busy restaurant when my husband went to get the food. My friend recommended few other restaurants so I will have to try the others and see if they are better. Not sure if we will order food from here again and if we do, it will be just for my husband on a day when I don't feel like cooking, and definitely not for me. Because I worked in a family owned restaurant business for over 40 years before retiring, I know what good food should look and taste like and I have a passion for great food. Sorry but not sorry!!

    Are any of the dishes made with chicken breast meat? My wife only eats white meat.

    Hi Karl, almost all of our chicken dishes are made with chicken breast meat, except our orange chicken and sesame chicken. However, we can also make these dishes with white meat upon request. Thank you!

    Are you open Christmas Day?

    Stopped by for an early afternoon brunch today. Big mistake…read more But first, let me say that our server was friendly and attentive and could not have been more helpful. Promptly seated, drinks brought out, order taken and food delivered fast, hot and correct. The background music was some chinese music tv station playing modern easy listening tunes and, along with the comfortable chairs and solid table made for a relaxing environment. The food? meh. You can see our order in the latest photo and how expensive it was. the Lo Mein was mostly tasteless and certainly lacking in thast "lo mein flavor." Although the meat was tender, the sauce was just a sticky brown sauce. Surprisingly, the Spicy Pickle Tofu was essentially the same sticky brown sauce as the Lo Mein but with some fried tofu in it and without the noodles but nothing otherwise remarkable. You can tell by looking at my earlier picture attached. The old picture shows a bright and colorful plate. The dish today was a dark brown (you could hardly see the tofu from the beef) as everything was just dark. Eggplant seemed to have a similar brown sauce as well but the eggplant was otherwise tasteless. Nothing popped. Chicken bites were bland and not at all crunchy. Just fried to soft texture but no real flavor. According to our server, the menu was just recently updated about a month ago. We noticed because one of our favorites was the Fried Taro Pie which is now gone from the menu and the server said yes, that's right. Maybe this place has a new owner or chef, but it's no longer in my top asian restaurants for Tucson.

First, if bar seating is available, I highly recommend taking it. Service tends to be much faster there, especially during busy times. The staff is friendly and works hard, but they often seem overwhelmed, which can make refills and table service a little slow at times. The happy hour specials are fantastic and offer excellent value. The drink selection is solid, with fair and moderately priced cocktails and beverages. If you order one thing, make it the spicy edamame--it's easily one of the standout items on the menu. As for the sushi, the fish tastes fresh and most of the rolls are delicious. The only item I would personally skip next time is anything topped with the tempura sauce, as I found it didn't complement the rolls very well. Beyond that, the sushi quality was excellent. One important tip: avoid arriving on concert or event nights unless you're prepared to wait. During busy events at Casino del Sol, wait times can stretch to two hours or more. Again, if you can grab a seat at the bar, you'll likely have a much better experience. Overall, Ume offers fresh sushi, great happy hour specials, friendly staff, and reasonable drink prices. Despite occasional service delays during peak times, it's definitely worth a visit.

If we were giving it a grade, it would rate at a, "B" (*good in effort and the results... but not amazing or anything to sit down and write a yelp review about). But this time, I really-really enjoyed the experience. So much so, that I am now typing out a review. My hope is that someone else (*that would be you) might have a similar experience up at RA Sushi. For us, the stars aligned (as they sometimes do) and all parts of the meal converged to create an almost-perfectly assembled puzzle of culinary pleasure. The staff was welcoming and charming. As we pulled open the large entrance door, the hostess greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile. Our waiter was observant (but not overly so) and checked on us periodically to see how we were faring. He made suggestions and engages with a really good demeanor that some people just seem to have that makes them immediately likable. The ambiance was comfortable and pleasant. We were there towards the end of the lunch service, so tables were starting to clear. And most importantly, the food was exceptionally tasty. My wife and I apparently were mind-melding as we looked over the menu, for when the waiter returned to our table to take our order we both had decided on the same bento box...the one with steak, sashimi, a fresh salad, and an assortment of vegetables and shrimp tempura. I enjoyed all parts of the compartmentalized presentation, but the "stand out" for the box was, by far, the sashimi. I say the following with all-honestly: Those sliced bits of fish were as fresh and succulent as any that I have ever had. I am originally from Hawaii (where sashimi is a big part of local cuisine) and we visited Japan a few years ago and enjoyed sashimi from fish that was just-pulled from the sea. I am a little perplexed as to how, here in land-locked, Tucson that fish was so incredibly fresh. But somehow, it was and each chew that I clumsily chop-sticked into my face was savored and deeply enjoyed. Up at the start of this review, I described the experience as "almost perfect"--hinting that something was not exactly right... The minor speed- bump for the meal occurred when I took my first tentative nibble of the steak. It was "sizzley-hot" upon touching down on our table, so I took a small teeth-only-to-protect-my-lips-from-getting-burned bite. The first chew of meat that I took had a small wedge of cartilage or gristle. As it turns out, that was the only piece of the entire assembly of small bits of steak that was imperfect. That may be a pretty-good metaphor for the experience that we had at RA on that Thursday afternoon, in early July, in the year of our Lord 2026. We began the meal knowing that it was going to be pretty good (*based on past experience), but didn't expect a "stand out" lunch. Similarly, the first bite of steak was flavorful, but not fantastic. But, then to our pleasant surprise, the meal really found it's stride and came together to become memorable. (Eh, maybe that was not that great of a metaphor for the experience--but you get the idea). My wife (who is not as easily impressed as I am), agreed that it was really-really good. Further evidence of her really liking the meal came when I over-heard her tell my daughter, on the phone, later that evening, that we all really need to go back, the next time she comes to visit us in Tucson.
