    All these years and Luckie's Thai-Asian Cuisine is still really good. They have a Thai food menu and Chinese food menu. I'm partial and definitely more into the Thai menu. My go-to's are the shrimp spring rolls for apps, tom kha gai for the soup, their pad thai is really good for entree, I get it with either shrimp or chicken. The fried rice, curries, and Thai stir-fry are also a good call. For dessert, the sweet purple rice with mango is a must. I say all these options as Luckie's is one of those places where you order and pay first, then get served food. Not usually a fan of this set up, but for this specific restaurant it works. Either way, their staff still offer great service even if they don't necessarily do the traditional table service. Luckie's Thai Asian is definitely a great neighborhood staple in the Rita Ranch area.

    Chicken & mushroom soup, yum

    Decided to try something new. This time it was the chicken & mushroom soup. It had a crazy amount of mushrooms and vegetables. It hit the spot

    Egg rolls

    It was my brother, my mother and myself for lunch. My mother loves Chinese food while my brother and I love Thai food. I guess we were lucky to find Luckie's as a Thai-Asian cuisine which does both. They're located in the Fry's shopping center. Inside you seat yourself at any of the open tables. I would guess they can seat about 40-60 for capacity. There are menus you can take from the counter back to your table. There are also some pictures of the dishes above the main counter to see what you might be ordering. The staff was very friendly and helpful when placing the order. We started with eggrolls which were more like Chinese Spring Rolls. Their spring rolls are much different and Thai style using the clear wrap and not fried. My brother had the chicken curry while I had the seafood curry and mom had the shrimp with lobster sauce. The rice arrives as a large scoop in a separate bowl while the main dish is in another bowl. They're easily mixed on the plate. The seafood curry was very tasty and not too spicy. It came with shrimp, salmon and mussels along with peppers and onions. The shrimp with lobster sauce was too much for mom so we took it home. The staff offered a box of fried rice to take home as well at no extra cost. Most dishes cost around $12-$18. I was glad we made the right choice for lunch.

    Delicious hidden gem for Asian cuisine in far southeast Tucson! This spot serves both Thai and Chinese dishes in a fast-casual setup--you place your order at the counter for dine-in or takeout. Service was great with a warm and friendly welcome. The food was amazing! We ordered Thai curry--seafood curry and house green curry--and both were delicious. The seafood curry came loaded with shrimp, mussels, and salmon. We like our curry extra spicy, so we added chili oil, but the flavors were fantastic on their own. For the kids, we ordered orange chicken with rice and another with lo mein. Both were generous portions--especially the noodles, which the kids loved! We're so glad to have this restaurant here in Rita Ranch, since there aren't too many options nearby. Definitely a new favorite!

    Medium hot and sour
    Christine G.

    The food is wonderful as well as the service. I love Hot and Sour Soup and am very picky about the taste. It has to be perfect, and this place makes it perfect. I highly recommend. The Thai Basil Pork Fried Rice is delicious, as well as the deep fried and fresh spring rolls.

    I ordered spring rolls & Pad Thai . The spring rolls were good & they did have a tofu option which I appreciate but my entree was so bland . I need flavor and spice , this was an extremely boring dish . Even after adding chili oil and siracha - bland . Service was ok , cashier was extremely rushy and I had never been. The other employees were sweet . I probably won't stop here again . Didn't love it nor did I hate it .

    Thai green curry with tofu and steamed rice
    David M.

    I came here for lunch. I tried their green curry with tofu and steamed rice. It was flavorful. There were green and red bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and Thai basil. The tofu was ok. You order at the register and have a seat. They bring your food to you, but you get your own soft drink. The restaurant was cozy. There were mostly tables and chairs. I don't remember seeing any booths.

    Pad Thai with chicken- spring rolls
    Michelle R.

    This place is talked about all of time as one of the best Thai spots in town. It was good! I'd like to go back and try some of their curries and soups. The great thing about this place is the ability to customize your order. We had a vegan, a vegetarian, a gluten free person, and an omnivore and we were all able to order a delicious meal. I always try the pad Thai anytime I go to a Thai restaurant for the first time and this one is pretty solid. Served was very fast and they were great about answering questions about the menu. A very casual spot in Rita Ranch. Solid food for the price!

    Kung Pao $13.99 overly sweet. Masked it with soy and Chile crisp oil, fresh produce though 3.5/5*  otherwise tasty. 4-2024

    Small family outfit in Fry's mall. Order at counter and delivery to table. It's hot, super fast, tasty and a lil pricey. With few Chinese options in Vail, Lucky's has one menu side with Chinese American faves, GTso's, Orange/ Lemon Chix, Moo Goo Gai Pain, Broccoli w choice proteins, Egg Foo Young, +Teriyaki, etc. Pineapple Fried rice (Thai Sub Pa Rod) $14.99 lots of chicken, 4 shrimp perfectly cooked, lotsa fluffy eggs, and some fresh pineapple that could of been more sweet haha but understand gotta take what you can get off the vine. Would of liked more: chopped cilantro throughout, more than one slice of tomato, 2 slices cucumber but great overall flavor and wok hei 5/5* While pineapple not sweet the Kung Pao Chicken $13.99 was overly sweet with added sugar. Will have to nix that next time. Masked it with soy and Chile crisp oil, and the zucchini, bamboo shoots, chestnuts and peanuts were very fresh and stir fried nicely. Hubby still finished 3.5/5* A few tables outside would be a nice touch for the spring weather as it was quite steamy inside on a 73° evening.

    Hot & sour soup
    Heaven R.

    The food here was delish. I didn't need to use the chili oil at all. But loved having the option of being able to add it. Service was very friendly. It was obvious they have lots of regulars. I was there for lunch time and it was quite busy with walk ins and takeout orders. Thai art and pictures all around the place. Simple but convenient location. You can tell it's been there for years. Seems Emily oriented. The menu was quite overwhelming with so many options! Love that they have the option of Thai OR Chinese! I ended up options for both to have leftovers. The hot and sour soup was different. I had never tasted one like that. It had a strong onion taste but still yummy. The lemongrass in it had a funny texture.. I especially loved that they gave the crispies toppings because most places I have to ask for it. Super flavorful. If I were to come back I would want to try a Thai soup and the Singapore noodles. One of my fave dishes and many places don't offer it.

So I searched Yelp and I found this gem, Jun Dynasty. We traveled an hour and forty minutes from Maricopa to try this place. I could've traveled to other Chinese restaurants in half the time in and around Phoenix and Scottsdale, but something just intrigues me about Tucson. Jun is located in an older part of Tucson and its location can be misleading. But trust me, you want to try this place. We were immediately greeted and seated after we entered the establishment. We were handed menus and asked what we'd like to drink and I ordered Oolong tea and water. The menu included several authentic dishes not found at other Chinese restaurants. I kept it simple though and ordered Walnut Shrimp for my wife, Steamed Dumplings in Peppercorn sauce, Salt & Pepper Fried Fish, and Bok Choy. Steamed dumplings were the first dish brought out. I ordered this because my wife can't eat anything spicy. Well this had a kick to it even I wasn't expecting. It was numbing, literally! Some restaurants will even list this type of dish as cooked in numbing oil. Soon after swallowing the dumpling, a numbing sensation enveloped our tongues. Sorry honey; I thought I ordered a mild dish. I ended up eating all of them. It was hard tasting the other dishes because of the numbing effect. The walnut shrimp came out next and I have to say, they were probably the best I had; even better than Fat's in Sacramento who set the bar back in the day. My wife devoured them. Bok choy was brought out next and she also loved them. They were served with I think a garlic sauce and it was very tasty. The Salt & Pepper fried fish were delivered last and they were also good. However, my wife preferred the walnut shrimp. I did have better S & P fish elsewhere, but these were still good. I can't speak enough about the staff. They were the friendliest I ever experienced in a Chinese restaurant. Our server always checked on us to make sure everything was fine. They all even said good-bye when we left. Yeah, I picked a good one!

Food: (4/5) Hummingbird nest or something like that:(4/5) It's a bit bland, but it has a good variety of shrimp, scallops, snow peas, and other vegetables on a crispy shell. Good low sodium option in my opinion. Walnut shrimp: (3/5) I'm not the biggest fan of sweet and salty foods, but it was pretty savory and crunchy despite the sauce. Pork intestines: (5/5) These were so crispy and oily. The spicy aroma from the peppers also isn't that unpleasant. Overall a very oil heavy dish and just as delicious. I did order another dish, but it wasn't that outstanding and I forgot the name of it. Service: (5/5) Water refills were frequent and there wasn't much else to it. Everything was quick and efficient.

For example, in the middle of taking our order - the server asked the gentlemen at the table right next to us who just sat down, "What would you like to drink?" while standing talking to me. Perhaps a little training inside and outside the kitchen would raise the tide across the board.

    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.

I got introduced to the existence of this Chinese restaurant that serves pretty authentic Chinese food for being in Tucson from a non Chinese doctor who hangs out with Chinese doctors at his Tucson hospital and they brought him here to eat REAL Chinese food in Tucson. I know this restaurant serves Chinese authentic food because they have a dish that is nothing but "cut off duck heads.". Just so that you know they have non-authentic Chinese food on the menu that only white people know as Chinese food such as gungbao chicken and broccoli beef, as well, if you don't want to order something as strange as the pile of duck heads. I ordered one of my favorite Szechuan dishes here. It is whitefish fillets with pickled vegetables in a soup. It is like a hot sour stew. It was a generous portion for $16.95 that year. But the reason why I am giving this restaurant two stars is because something happened that never happened to me ever in a restaurant in my 73 years of dining experience, Chinese restaurant or other wise. What happened was I like well lit tables. I don't like to sit in the dark. I was dining alone and like to read while I am eating and I said I want this brightest table which was the first one next to the waiting area. It was a table with four independent chairs. After I sat down and was already eating my food the restaurant asked me to move to another table which was a booth in the corner which was the darkest table in the restaurant. I like bright well lit tables because I read while I eat and I always dine alone. The reason why they asked me to move was because four very obese men couldn't fit in that darkest booth in the far corner of the restaurant, because there was no room in the booth for their bellies to fit. They had to sit in the independent chairs at the table where I was sitting and I was only one person eating at that table for four by myself. They could have waited till I was done eating. So I did move when they explained why and I saw the 4 men waiting there, but honestly I don't think this request that I move when I was ready eating at that table would have happened if this were not a Chinese restaurant, and I say that because I am Chinese. That was my first time eating there and I never went back.
