I miss the real dim sum experience in Tucson. This place does not do that either. It is still an order of the menu place. The normal menu has no description of any dishes. If you don't happen to know what it is by the non-descriptive name (i.e. not unique name, descriptive) it is a crap shoot whether you would like it. In traditional american food places describe their items because there are different implementations and many people have food allergies. Here you would have to literally ask the contents of each item on menu has potentially dangerous ingredients. I didn't love the atmosphere as it is a strip mall style setup. I prefer a more traditional restaurant decor. With the negative out of the way, on to the good points. After I indicated I wanted some dim sum (though it was on the menu she handed me), she brought over a menu with pictures. Much more helpful. Should have been provided initially as it was lunch time. I ordered Hak gaw (steamed shrimp) and Beef Chow Fun. Both were very good. The server was very friendly. I might come back making sure to ask for the other menu. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

I really liked this place but had to bring my own hot mustard and chili. They failed on the condiments by offering the trash that comes in tiny takeout packets instead of quality. Sad because the actual cooking there was great. Imagine a dim sum place without freshly made hot mustard. read more

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. read more

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. read more

It's a fairly new dim sum & Chinese restaurant located on the Fry's strip mall on 1st Avenue. It was Lunar New Year so the restaurant was busy with both dine-in and to-go orders so service was slow, but friendly. I thought we had to order at the counter then sit down, but we were told to sit and they would come and take our order. We ordered dim sum, but they were sold out of egg tarts and that the shrimp rice rolls took too long. We took it in stride due to the holiday. It is a simple, no frills restaurant, but it's nice to get dim sum in Tucson. read more

Staff was very kind. We were visiting from out of town and showed up 30 mins before closing time. They welcomed us in and sat us happily. We ordered dim sum and fried rice. Fried rice was delicious and was even still good the next day when we reheated it. We had the bao and shrimp dimsum. My favorite was sui mai. Flavors were as good as the dim sum I used to get in San Francisco. I highly recommend you try it if you are looking for authentic Chinese Dim Sum. read more

This was a first time visit for friend and me. Walking in, the place is clean and bright. Lots of tables, with the place about 1/3 full. We each grabbed a menu and started looking at the large amount of offerings. We were there primarily for the Dim Sum; disappointingly there weren't a lot of offerings. Some of the Dim Sum offerings had no explanation as to what they were. I googled some of them so we could decide if we wanted to order them. My favorite (BBQ bun) was on the menu so I started with that and then added Mongolian chicken. I asked 3 times that the chicken dish be extra spicy; she never acknowledged me. Friend ordered Kung Pow Shrimp and the Custard Buns. There were 2 cooks in the kitchen. We sat at a table and the food arrived in a very short period of time - 5 minutes or less. The soup was delicious with deep flavored broth. The BBQ buns were disappointing; the dough was tough. I asked the male who brought the food to the table for some chili sauce and he brought it to me. Friend had me taste her shrimp. There were a lot of shrimp on the plate but the sauce had a weird taste to it. The steamed rice was typical. The custard buns were really good. Friend said she would give the place 2 stars; I added the extra star. The staff was friendly and accommodating; the place was clean but some of the food was a bit "off". For a $20 lunch for each of us, it wasn't worth it. We won't be back. read more

If you like reheated, frozen dim sum from Lee Lee market, this place is for you. Depressed over the closing of China, Phoenix and Gees Garden being gone we have little to no choice of dim sum in Tucson any longer, and this place is following the same method as go dim sum on Grant Road everything is likely coming out of a freezer and reheated. I tried a few of everything between shu mai Xiao long bao Lotus leaf wrapped rice and Har gow. After paying the mind blowing $57 for art meal and bringing it home it was just adequate and no better than what I could get at a Asian supermarket. Save yourself some money and look elsewhere Maybe one of these days we'll get another good dim sum restaurant open in this town it's not here yet that's for sure. You would probably be better off, going to Trader Joe's and buying some of their frozen dim sum read more

Definitely miss eating dim sum and this place hit the spot! Owners are very nice and sweet. Please be patient with their broken English! I got the shrimp rice roll, shu mai, and xiao long bao. The shrimp rice roll was very yummy. I think the sweet soy sauce could be sweeter but overall one of my favorites. Everything is a good price, especially their lunch and dinner specials. read more

Price point is lower than other dim sum spots around town and they also offer lunch special combos. I found all the dishes to be salty, especially the meat. Shu mai and har gow are fine, large portion for the cheung fun (6x rice rolls and its normally served with only 3x), lo mai gai only has mushrooms + rice, beef hor fun tastes like ginger. Service is pretty quick and is a spacious interior. The menu english names for the dim sum are confusing if you aren't familiar with chinese. read more

DIN'T WASTE YOUR MONEY I was going to give them a 3 out of 5 for food until the waitress complained that the tip wasn't enough. The sui mai and crab puff were excellent. Then it went downhill. Chicken wings no flavor and we're from freezer burned frozen wings. The steamed pork riblettes were from left over and microwaved. The egg tart was old and over cooked. The soup dumpling was thick and rubbery. read more

Great service, Very clean and a very quiet ambiance. I love this place but I will say if you are looking for super spicy food it is a little lackluster. They always smile and greet you. It did not dissapoint and the prices were perfect bang for my buck. read more

The people at this strip mall joint are lovely. I had stopped by when shopping at the nearby Fry's and taken a menu. It sounded like fun and given the staff's winning ways, I decided to not only bring my wife but three friends as well. Again, the server was just as pleasant as could be. The food on the other hand was--and I am trying to be charitable here--wanting. It lacked seasoning. My go-to favorite Chinese staple is hot and sour soup. Well, I didn't finish half of a small serving. Why bother? The sauce on my sliced pork lacked flavor. Heck they didn't even have tea to drink. Oh, I did try one piece of dim sum, the egg tarts; bleh. So, I won't be returning even though I did leave a decent tip. I mean, she really was sweet. read more

I live close by and noticed that this place was open. It is a newer restaurant and finally, I was able to go and check it out on Saturday night. I ordered take out for the Mongolian Beef and Orange Chicken dinner specials. The Mongolian Beef was very tasty and had great flavor. It was accompanied by fried rice, an eggroll and a canned soda. The Fried Rice is awesome and the eggroll was nice and crispy. The true standout for me is the Orange Chicken. That is the best Orange sauce I have ever had. I couldn't get enough! As for the service, immaculate. Super friendly staff that is gracious and warmhearted. I can not say more positive things about my experience when I went to go pick up my food. Absolutely amazing. Im not sure how busy they were but my order only took 10 minutes on a Saturday evening. I drove there and it was ready when I arrived and paid. I would absolutely recommend checking Lucky Panda out! I know I will be back! read more
