Big portions. Fresh-tasting delicious. Husband got the chicken with black bean. I got sesame chicken this time. Nice staff. Clean. Cool at lunch time but not freezing temp inside restaurant. Discount if you pay cash. Lunch menu includes soup, egg roll, and wonton. We always enjoy this place. read more

We live nearby so I really wanted to like this restaurant but it is so inconsistent that we stopped coming here. When the food is good, it is really good but boy it can be really mediocre at best quite often. Sometimes the food is so salty, you cannot eat it! It is a nice, clean restaurant and the people working there are friendly and helpful so it is unfortunate that the food quality is not always up to par. read more

Solid Chinese here. Came in for dinner and ordered the kung pao chicken. I like mine with a bit moreof heat, but it was good and served hot & fresh! Chicken breast was used in this dish, making it upscale and "top shelf." Egg rolls are tasty and also served hot & fresh. The egg drop soup was very good, too! Normally I don't prefer the corn starched thick egg drop soup, but theiry isn't too thick! Service was friendly & super fast! They kept our drinks filled and checked in periodically. Restaurant is large, clean, & has plenty of indoor seating. Prices are fair, too. Will definitely be returning. read more

We really enjoyed lunch there. Very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Service was quick. We shared the lunch menu of cashew chicken with fried rice, crab cake, egg flower soup and egg rolls. We even too a plate home. The vegetables were yummy and really fresh. Will definitely be returning. read more

Wow! What fabulous food and service!! Went in for lunch and was it disappointed. They have a very large offering of lunch specials that include soup, egg roll, crab Rangoon, and entree. I opted for General Tso and my friend ordered peppered beef. Everything was so fresh and extra tasty! Service was excellent and prices were fair! read more

Spouse and I stopped in for lunch based on the Yelp reviews and were not disappointed. I had the teriyaki chicken lunch special, and my spouse had the orange chicken lunch special. Both come with a small spring roll and crab puff. Both were particularly good, and the portion size was large. The server was great and very attentive. Water glass never got below half full This location is at the end of a strip center and very east to find right of Tangerine Road. It was spotless and lots of room between the tables. We will be stopping back to try the dinner menu in the future. read more

Really solid place in Oro Valley. Decent price and great selection. We especially liked the chow fun, sesame balls, and Mongolian beef.

Revisited and tried their noodle soups- broth is deliciously addictive even if a tad too salty. War wonton soup is full of crisp veggies and a generous amount of wonton dumplings. I love that the veggies are cooked crisp and not soggy. Wonton noodle soup is similar except with noodles and less veggies. Singapore curry noodles ordered extra spicy is also decent. Seems like a place where you need to find a few go-to dishes as they cater to the local palate preferences. Be prepared to request chopsticks and chili oil. If you like spicy- request extra spicy. Service is efficient but not super friendly. Atmosphere is more upscale and comfortable. Discount for paying with cash vs credit card -make sure to ask for it. read more

Food was only okay. Service was only okay. I had the chicken, lettuce, wraps, and hubby had the general tso chicken. The chicken was mystery meat. My chicken lettuce wraps were pretty good. Everything was basically just kind of ho hum not great. read more

Restaurant Review: Dove M Bistro (Return Visit - Family Dinner Extravaganza) Once again, Dove M Bistro has lured us back like culinary moths to a neon buffet sign, and oh, what a night of food-induced storytelling it turned out to be! This time, we ordered the Family Dinner Meal, which I'm convinced was engineered by a team of NASA dietitians who asked themselves: "How can we make two people feel like they're feeding a small marching band?" Mission accomplished. The Entrees * Shrimp in Lobster Sauce: Let me tell you, those shrimp weren't just cooked--they were knighted. Each bite was so velvety and decadent that I half expected to hear "God Save the Queen" playing softly in the background. The lobster sauce? A rich, savory bath that whispered sweet nothings to the shrimp before letting them dive into our taste buds. * Cashew Chicken: The cashews were crisp little acrobats, flipping through tender chicken morsels like they were auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. Every crunchy bite was a reminder that nuts belong not just in trail mix, but in the annals of poultry history. The Eggrolls Oh, the eggrolls. BETTER THIS TIME. If our first visit was the "pilot episode," these eggrolls were the Season 2 comeback--sharper, crispier, and way funnier. Golden and crunchy, they shattered like edible stained glass and then soothed us with that glorious veggie-and-meat filling. Honestly, they should hire these eggrolls as motivational speakers: "Yes, you CAN improve on the sequel!" Overall Experience Dining at Dove M Bistro feels less like eating out and more like joining an ongoing saga--Game of Thrones but with fewer dragons and more shrimp. The staff seemed to know we were repeat offenders, smiling knowingly like, "Yep, they're back." Would we go again? Let me put it this way: if Dove M Bistro had a loyalty card, I'd already be asking how many visits it takes before they name a dish after me. (Five stars, one for each shrimp I tried to steal from the lobster sauce before anyone noticed.) read more

This was our first visit and we were so pleased with everything. My daughter and I ordered from the lunch menu: Mongolian Tofu for me and Kung Pao chicken for my daughter. Both were delicious with large portions. Our waitress, Linda,was delightful as well. We are so happy to find an alternative to the "other" Chinese restaurants in Oro valley. This one is a keeper! read more

We have lived in Oro Valley for A year & today we found Dove M Bistro So Far this has been the 1st Asian Restaurant we really like & We will be back !! Food was Very Good & Piping Hot & the 2 soups we tried were Great One Improvement would be good Is a Better Egg Roll ( very Small ) And small bottles of Prosecco Or sparkling wine ( Brut) Many local restaurants have Korbel or Chandon or La Marcha Or Lenesta Just a suggestion !! If you put it on the Menu it will sell Great Service too !! read more

Follow up to my review from 2017..... We still go there, but only occasionally now. I've run into two issues: 1. A lot of the dishes taste the same. Same sauce and it's a bit sweet for my taste. There are exceptions, notably the special rice noodle and the Hong Kong Wonton soup which is an absolute winner. 2. Nothing ever changes. No changes to the menu in years, no specials. If they had daily/weekly or even monthly specials I would absolutely go check them out - but it's just the same old same old. read more

Haven't been here since they first week they opened, time to give it a shot! Bottom line: uneven. The interior looks new, very nicely appointed, but the tables were a bit too close together for me. We were seated immediately, and the waitress took our order shortly. My diet coke arrived quickly in a nice glass. Our food took longer than I'd like, just two dishes (see photos), but they do a good carryout business which slows things down. When I went to the counter to pay for our meal we got two receipts that differed by $10, quite confusing. My mu shu pork was absolutely excellent - the veggies were fresh, the pork perfectly cooked, nice amount of scrambled eggs, good pancakes. My wife ordered the Special Rice Noodles which was on the "Chef's Special" menu so expectations were high. The noodles were quite salty but lacked flavor, so she resorted to dumping hoisin, sweet-sour, whatever she could get her hands on to give it more flavor. Maybe serve a side of fish sauce or something for those that want more? Just a thought. The place was pretty empty when we arrived, but really crowded by the time we left, we got to know the people at the table next to us better than I care too. read more

Service was good and food portions are plentiful but the taste does not meet the gold standard of Golden Dragon. The dishes we had were bland and not as good as we expected. The bar has a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Atmosphere is a nice setting and restaurant seems clean. read more

We really loved our food experience here. The pan fried noodles are the closest to what I've had in SoCal. I can't wait to try other things on the menu. Service was on point friendly staff. Plenty of parking outside and the restaurant is clean and has a nice vibe! Even though the place was busy they did turn over our order quickly. We will be back! read more

Decent Chinese food spot. Basic Chinese food menu with a few additions such as pad Thai and Singapore curry noodles. Been here twice and the food has pretty good flavor. The portions are large. Wait staff could be more friendly. Wish they had a children's menu or good options for kids. read more

This place was very busy when we got here. The egg flower soup was really cool. The sweet and sour pork was not good at all. We ended up leaving 3/4's of it at the restaurant. Too much breading and not a good flavor. The service was decent. Not great. Not terrible. read more

Great food, friendly staff, fast to go service, even if you walk in and order. Our go to place for Chinese food in Marana!

I don't understand the four star reviews AT ALL. The food we ordered was just about inedible. From the Chow Mein, Happy Family and Sesame Chicken, not one single dish was palatable. It's a very bad sign when the best thing you can say you ate at a Chinese restaurant was the complimentary white rice. I'm not sure if they were just having an off day or what, but I know that no one from the group will be returning any time soon, if ever. read more

I rarely leave yelp reveiews. So when I do just know it's good. This is me and my wife's favorite Chinese spot in town. I highly recommend the sesame chicken! read more

Food was bland. Anything tasty about plain boiled chicken? It was supposed to be Ginger Chicken. It came in a runny sauce that looked like flam. It had no flavor at all I just couldn't eat it. Server came by and said "you done"? Seeing I had barely you it. Went and got the check. Dropped it off without a word. Turned and walked away. Ummmm.....I won't be going back. read more

Terrific lunch today. Singapore Noodles, dinner menu, very good

Great ambiance for dining in. Larger tables have lazy Susan's. I believe it is family own and operated from reading other reviews. Service is fairly quick, water refilled without request. Food was flavorful, I ordered Kong pao seafood (scallops, squid, shrimp), comes with small bowl of steamed rice. Also ordered a mule ($7). Great prices, good portion, overall great experience. read more

Do not go to this restaurant, went there for years and now the food quality and portion size for the price is out of control. The person serving me for pick could not speak English or make change. The sign said 5% off for cash. That certainly didn't happen. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Seems like we consistently crave Asian food on Mondays...when our closest go-to for carry out is closed. Dove M Bistro, just a bit further away, is open every day! We have ordered multiple times, especially during our kitchen remodel, and never have been disappointed. The meat eaters in our family really enjoy the sizzling rice soup, fried shrimp appetizer, and cashew chicken. The soup comes in a large container and easily makes 4 servings. The cashew chicken, when served with rice, provides 2 meals for two people. Dove M also has a nice selection of vegetable dishes and is vegan friendly. I usually get Kung Pao Tofu; they'll adjust the heat for you - just ask! My partner usually gets the steamed fish with ginger or spicy Kung Pao Fish. We have tried some "salty" dishes that weren't to our taste, and a family member once was surprised that the shrimp in their dish was breaded. We then saw that Dove M has photos of many of their dishes on their website's home page. If you're trying something new, it never hurts to ask if any element of the dish contains breading...or something else that you don't like/eat. The time they give us for pick-up always is accurate, and the food still is hot when we get home. Sometimes, we find that they've tucked an "extra" something in for us to try. We really enjoy the food and carry out service from Dove M Bistro. read more

I went to this place because I'd been told it was "Fantastic Chinese food". I have to say, I have a Much different opinion on what is 'fantastic'. I've had Much Better Chinese food than this place offered. The chicken in the mango chicken dish was Tough, like Well Done, Dry steak. The chicken in the mushroom chicken dish was rubbery and none of it tasted particularly 'fantastic', just okay. The Shrimp in the coconut shrimp dish were Big, and tasted pretty good. The Eggdrop soup was decent and so were the little eggrolls and wantons. The rice was just cooked with a very little bit of egg and soy sauce. *shrug* It was rice. The service was okay. The lady who took my order was brisk and right down to business. The restaurant itself was nice. Pretty pictures, nice colors, and dining sets for customers to sit. Over all, it was just Okay Chinese food. read more

Walking into the restaurant, it was spotless, well maintained, and the ambiance was soothing and refreshing. Service was served with a smile. The lunch menu was amazing, great choices for extremely reasonable prices. I got the House Egg Foo Young that was absolutely delicious. The Egg Flower soup along with the hot tea for starters would knock out the worst of colds! I can't go on enough about this establishment, there was absolutely nothing that I could find to complain about. Try it, you will love it! read more

Very attentive staff at this more-than-just-takeout Chinese restaurant. Large dining room, so it's more like a restaurant than a fast food experience. We mostly do use them for take out, though. The food is well packaged for easy transportation, and that's always a plus. I'm experimental, and I've tried a few off-the-basics dishes, but so far their best dishes are the usual standards. Those dishes are the most consistently prepared each time. (We've been impressed with their egg foo young.) Sometimes when I try to get something that's more "exotic," I can get it prepared one way the first time, yet a different way a second time. Regardless, it's our go-to local Chinese restaurant. read more
