    Vegetable lo mein with barely any vegetables. When I asked she said no bean sprouts.
    Deborah D.

    Service is always good. I dunno what happened today but the vegetable lo mein was nasty. Heavy soy sauce. No flavor. The noodles were gummy. I couldn't eat it all there was terrible broccoli very little cabbage. No bean sprouts no shredded carrot. The menu says "vegetable lo mein" apparently no vegetables in it is what the waitress said huh... ok won't be back. Very clean place ambiance is nice.

    Love Mei Mei! It's my go to on rainy days and price is great! Love it when sesame chicken is cut into smaller pieces and crab puff and low mein are delicious!

    Taric W.

    Cozy, humble and family-owned, Mei Mei is really all you need for Chinese in this hood. Everyone seems to come here for the lunch specials, but I could probably eat here for three meals a day. Everything I tried was fresh, piping hot, and perfectly spiced. What I loved: The dinner specials that come with fried wontons, which are filled with pork, and exceptional egg rolls which contain chicken. Their appetizer game is outstanding and you'll need to repress the urge to order plate after plate of little fried morsels. I need me some crab puffs now. Also a big fan of the beef and broccoli. The shoots of broccoli are thicc but that doesn't stop it from being so tender. The sauce this dish comes in is also phenomenal. What I liked: The sesame chicken, a staple for me, and the fried rice is pretty good as well. It always feels good to treat yourself to independent restaurants that outperform big chains. I'd recommend Mei Mei to anyone

    Moo Goo Gai Pan - Delicious!
    Rachel B.

    Pretty good food! The waitstaff is super kind and hardworking. They wash down the tables wearing gloves. Who does that? Made me feel good about the cleanliness of the establishment. (Although my eating companion continually expressed that it smelled too much like cleaning products). I am not complaining about cleaning though. My eating companion and I enjoyed Moo Goo Gai Pan and Garlic Chicken - both came with steamed white rice. Although we enjoyed both meals they tasted virtually the same. I loved the medley of vegetables which included - mushrooms, water chestnuts, cabbage, carrots, broccoli AND it was all super fresh - like crisp to the cabbage fresh! There are some elements that would make a person question if the food will be good or not. The Yelp reviews seem to be a mixed bag. The sign lacks some lighting and this Restuarant is located in a fairly sketchy looking strip mall. But, it is worth trying as there were plenty of patrons and lots of people who seemed to be regulars. I would eat here again!

    Vegi chop suey, vegi fried rice with crispy noodles is

    WARNING!!!! OMG this food is I love Chinese food and this place is now my favorite. It beats my former favorite place in Long Beach, CA. We orderd kung pao chicken with peanuts, musho vegi and chicken chow-mein with crispy noodles. It was all chicken breast, which was tender and delicious. Kung pao was my favorite, the flavor was amazing. I was happily surprised and impressed on how fast our meal came, and super hot, like it should be. The chow-mein was my daughters favorite, she said shes never had this dish taste so good. We also orderd the crab puffs, maybe less cream cheese and more crab taste, but still good. We went on a Sunday, they close at 9pm. We showed up at 8:40 pm, and they were very welcoming. We will definitley be back for the lunch special. Highly recommended

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!

    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.

Service was attentive and everyone inside was incredibly kind and respectful. Ordered Crab Rangoons and Beef Chow Fun, a couple of staples of mine trying new Chinese restaurants. Rangoons were perfectly crispy, while the chow fun had a delicious wok hei flavor. The noodles and beef were tender and the dish had plenty of onions/green onions/etc. The only thing I didn't care for - and this is a personal preference - is that the chow fun did have a little more star anise/five spice flavor than I care for.
