    Hai gaw and shu mai

    Great spot for dim sum, although it's not served by the traditional carts, it's still served fresh in the little metal containers. There are lots of options to choose from and the servers gave some great recommendations. One lady really took the time to talk with us about a dish she recommended.

    Finally found a good dim sum place in Tucson! We went around 1pm on a Sunday and it was fairly busy. The menu has a lot of different dishes and offers dim sum. Everything is made to order. Service was good. We tried a lot of different ones and we enjoyed each and every one of them. The price is fair for dim sum. I wish there were a few more traditional options but no complaints, because this will definitely help to satisfy my dim sum cravings. While we were eating there, there were a lot of pick up orders as well. So definitely check it out! Will try out some of their other Chinese dishes next time.

    Excellent and friendly service. The dim sum menu had several choices... and decently priced and portion sizes. The Ham Sui Gok (shaped like a empanada) and the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) were my favorite... but really every dish we ordered from the shui mai, sesame balls, rice rolls and steamed pork spare ribs (make sure you leave room for the taro under the ribs) were so delicious. Tucson doesn't have a lot of dim sum restaurants and finding this gem was exciting.

    I love how personable small businesses are and Lucky Panda is honestly run by one of the sweetest people I've ever met! This quaint restaurant is tucked away in an unassuming part of Tucson, with plenty of tables for you and your friends. I've never been so well-taken care of in a restaurant before! The woman on the front end of the restaurant was so kind and pleasant to talk to; you can tell that she puts a lot of work into maintaining her relationships with her customers and does her very best to make you feel welcome. Although this is not the traditional cart service dim sum, this place is a good and quick fix if you don't have the means to make dim sum at home! I would definitely recommend their har gow and siu mai (and if you're adventurous, their chicken feet is really good!). I am anticipating going again soon to try their non-dim sum menu!

    Came here specifically for their dim sum and was not disappointed. They have a decent variety of options on their menu, and that's not including their regular menu items. Everything was delicious, but the rice rolls and "footballs" (as the server called them) stole the show for me. The sesame balls were also delicious. Service was great; the lady running the front was super sweet and did a great job answering any questions we had. Food came out in a timely manner and ended up leaving feeling more stuffed than a pork bun! Definitely my new go-to place for dim sum in Tucson

    Sweet and Sour Chicken with steamed rice

    We got takeout from Lucky Panda last night, and we're very pleased with the good food and very quick and friendly service! The dinner combos are a really good deal, so we got orange chicken with fried rice and sweet and sour chicken with steamed rice. Both were good, but I think the orange chicken was better -- the sauce was very flavorful and the citrus fragrance wafted out of the box as soon as it was given to us. The fried rice was very good too. It had a good amount of vegetables and egg in it, making it a good counterpart to the orange chicken. Dinner combos come with your choice of crab puffs or egg rolls, as well as a drink. It's nice to get the little extras alongside your meal! While we went basic on this takeout order, I look forward to going back and trying the dim sum!

    I was looking for dim sum for my myself and son. Using "Yelp " found this place. I was thinking dim sum in Tucson? Surprise! Everything cooked to order and very tasty! Friendly and welcoming staff! Good value $57.00 4 orders of dim sum, salt and pepper chicken wings, beef chow fun. I will return!

    Chinese broccoli, Xiao Long Bao, Beef Chow Fun

    This place was amazing for food and service. Our server kept coming over to chat and she was so sweet. For food we got the Chinese broccoli, Xiao Long Bao, Beef Chow Fun, and what our server called footballs but I can't remember the name. It was deep fried sticky rice stuffed with bbq pork. I didn't care for those or the Xiao Long Bao but the Chinese broccoli and beef chow fun were absolutely delicious. The chili oil on the table added the perfect spice. I would definitely go back.

    I walked in shortly after 4pm today on a Wednesday. I was the only sit-down customer. The dining area is spacious and bright. I ordered the chicken broccoli dinner which comes with egg roll and soup and a canned drink for $18.20. Both were served before the main meal. Both the soup and main meal were served hot. Even though I ate in, my food was placed in a to-go box. The fried rice was just plain rice with no chopped veggies in it, and there was plenty of it. Service was friendly and fast. My food was brought out to me. The inside was quiet! no loud music was blasting in the dining area and I liked that.

    Nice & clean place, eaay parking. Friendly & helpful service. Delicious food. Like the fried tofu, shrimp rolls, chicken feet & poridge. It's located in the same complex with Fry's Grocery.

    Better this time. More like 3.5 stars. Met some friends who were driving through town. The dim sum menu was easier to navigate this time and the food was good.

    Ask the Community - Lucky Panda Dim Sum & Chinese

    Is this located inside Lee Lee supermarket?

    The roast duck/pork place inside Lee Lee's started doing dim sum as well but Lucky Panda is a separate restaurant located on 1st ave and Roger.

We ordered a huge array of dim sum. The ladies were helpful in guiding us newbies and we had crispy egg rolls (of course), soup dumplings (loved them), BBQ pork bao buns (the filling was yum!), pork and shrimp shu mai (so tasty), shrimp har gow (never had anything like them and would definitely order again), and pork and shrimp wonton (so good). Yes, we took some home. The restaurant has plenty of tables, spaced well apart, which I appreciate. Everything is spotless. The parking lot has plenty of room and access is easy, even with the construction mess Grant currently has. Siri guided me down Palo Verde, took a right on Grant, and immediate turned right into the parking lot. I don't normally give five stars on a first visit, but we enjoyed Go Dim Sum so much that we're already planning a return trip. The only thing that could be improved is the sauce tray. The containers should be filled more and cleaned off.

The service has improved quite a bit, which made the overall experience more enjoyable. I also noticed that their expanded dining area is very clean and modern, which gives the restaurant a much nicer feel than before. One thing that specifically brought me back was their updated dim sum menu. They added several "dim sum sets," essentially sampler combo plates, which I thought was a great idea and a convenient way to try multiple items. Most of what I ordered tasted pretty good. The BBQ pork pastry was excellent, but the steamed BBQ pork bun reminded me a bit too much of the frozen ones you can buy at the grocery store. The biggest disappointment was the Taiwanese braised pork. It is usually a dish I really enjoy, but this time there were only small morsels of meat, and I had to search for them under all the sauce. Because of that, I still cannot quite give the restaurant five stars yet, though I truly hope I will be able to on a future visit.

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!

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.

At Sky Dragon Restaurant (where my wife and I stopped in for their lunch special), I did something unforgivable. Something scandalous. Something so deliciously wrong it felt right: I ate my wife's entire eggroll. Yes, I swore I'd only take half. Just a polite nibble, a respectful sample, the kind of marital sharing that earns you points in the long game. But then the eggroll crackled, whispered sweet nothings, and before I knew it... it was gone. Vanished. Devoured. I betrayed my vows of "in sickness, in health, and in splitting appetizers evenly." But can you blame me? Sky Dragon's food is dangerously good. My Cashew Chicken was a culinary power ballad: tender chicken, crunchy cashews, and sauce so smooth Barry White could've sung it. The crab puff? A fried golden treasure chest filled with cream-cheese glory--like winning the lottery but tastier. The Egg Flower Soup was so comforting it should come with a blanket and a bedtime story. Meanwhile, my wife's Chicken with Vegetables looked like a scene from a kung fu movie where broccoli and carrots fight crime--colorful, crisp, heroic. She took home half of her meal and she watched me annihilate her eggroll like Godzilla on downtown Tokyo. Portions? Perfect. Flavors? Legendary. Regrets? Only that I didn't order a second eggroll before my marriage lawyer finds out. Final Verdict: Sky Dragon deserves 5 stars, a standing ovation, and maybe a Nobel Prize in Fried Foods. And yes--next time, my wife is getting her OWN eggroll. (Probably two, just to be safe.)
