My girlfriend and I are always looking for an authentic Asian restaurant. Both of us coming from good home cooking from our Asian house holds, we always look for that home cook feel. This is the closest place we've found. The staff is great, very accommodating. We like our food hot and when we asked them to make it that way, they delivered. The lion head meat balls are delicious, not dry and very flavorful and very filling. Come check this place out. It's new and it delivers the taste you're looking for. Update: We've gone back several times and have noticed they are inconsistent with the cooking. One of our favorite dishes from the beginning is the spicy Chong Qing chicken. The second time we got it the taste wasn't as strong as he first time, this one it felt like the chicken was just added to the spices and stir fried really quickly, not allowing the flavor to sink in. The sizzling eggplant was great, not super salty and the flavor was good. The eggplant was cooked amazingly. Overall, inconsistent but we have been finding new dishes we like. read more

My newest obsession due to the great lunch menu options/prices. They've got two options A or B, each option comes with your choice of fried rice or steamed rice, an egg roll or two wontons, a bowl of hot sour soup or egg drop soup and lastly your entree. The only major difference between lunch option A and B are the prices and the type of entree. Option A's ($6.25) are mostly vegetable/chicken based, while Option B's ($7.25) are mostly beef/shrimp based. Overall I am happy with this place, food is authentic and filling. The best part is that this place is walking distance from my office..which is a giant bonus. So far, I've tried their kung pao shrimp w/ steamed rice, hot and sour soup, and egg roll and it was delicious! Their take out menu is on Facebook so check that out if you are in the mood for takeout read more

Food would be a four. But there's a deduction of one star due to the following problems. We were feeling for actual and at first I didn't want to go here because the menu posted on yelp looked like white-washed Chinese food, a better Panda Express menu, if you will. But my boyfriend said we should try it before judging. Stepping in, service was quick and attentive and the menu given was completely different from what was posted on yelp. THERE WAS ACTUAL CHINESE ON IT! So now I know this was a legit place. But they don't give chopsticks unless asked, which kind of took away from the whole "oriental" experience. HOWEVER not everything was perfect. We had the fish maw soup as our beginning course and although they put in a lot of soup maw, unlike some of the other chinese restaurants I've been to in Phoenix, there wasn't much crab in our soup, much to my disappointment. Then my boyfriend found a price of plastic/glass in the soup and when asked, our waitress said that the container had accidentally shattered and may have gotten into the soup. That's a bit too dangerous for me and my boyfriend so the soup was on the house. For the remainder of the soup eating, we didn't find any problems with it. For our entrees, we ordered family style: roasted duck and mapo tofu. The duck was actually crispy for its skin but maintained a juiciness to it. It did not lack any flavor and I would give it a solid four. It was a bit too salty for my personal tastes for some of the pieces and I didn't enjoy the fat on the duck very much. The tofu was pretty good and did not break when poked at. It wasn't too spicy and there was still an underlying flavor. I'd give it a solid five because I like how they didn't put in chunks of the pepper that's usually in mapo tofu, instead it was either finely grinded or in the sauce. A big problem I did have with the place is the amount of rice they gave us. For a family style meal, the rice wasn't given in the red tub like most authentic Chinese restaurants. I'm not sure about it but the table next to us had it but they also had a party of 7 instead of 2. Instead we given to small bowls of rice that didn't really feel us up so we had to rely on the actual entrees. Also pricing was a bit more on the expensive side which is why I'm disappointed we didn't get unlimited rice. In comparison to other Chinese restaurants, I would say this place is more expensive by 2-4dollars, which isn't bad considering the portions is also greater but I'll make a mental note that it'll be better if we had more people with us. Overall I wouldn't say the experience was a bad experience. Food was a solid 4 if anything. There's a few improvements that could be done like being more careful with the food preparations. That being said, I think we would definitely come back here because they have more food that matches my personal palette more than the other Chinese restaurants in Tucson. read more

Prior to COVID times this was a great place for awesome food. No more. The hunan chicken was oily and greasy. Next time have the stove on and the frying pan or work hot before putting food in it. Beef broc also scaly and oily and broc pieces too big. Appetizer sampler we can forgive because fried food doesn't travel well, but we EXPLICITLY ASKED for hot mustard and chili oil and they said no. Like they said no to the $0.08/pair disposable chopsticks we asked for. And then didn't include 3x steamed white rice. The hot and sour soup -- neither not, nor sour.. The fried rice (the only rice we got... because we ordered it along three entrees that had steamed rice promise but not delivered) -- undercooked. Loved it before COVID. Will never eat there again. $100 grubhub order. And all that was edible was the tofu. When they go out of business and blame COVID... no, that's not the problem. They elected to provide substandard food to customers. Goodbye Sky Dragon. Good job saving money. At customers' expense. We won't see you again. read more

Less than the cost of Panda Express and nearly as fast. Highly recommend. Service was excellent. Walked in to make take out order and was done in about seven minutes. Food was excellent. Lunch specials are $6.25 and $7.25. Food was excellent and will return. Noticed a few Chinese families dining in and they have a Chinese menu for those interested. It is a family restaurant, Ki runs the front of house. They are from Hong Kong and also offer regional noodle dishes and food. read more

Sky Dragon - Take out Mongolian Beef and Sweet and Sour Chicken. - Cantonese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My son and I were down in Tucson for a tournament and was looking for some good Chinese food restaurant. I came across this restaurant on Yelp and was very glad I did. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and attentive which is always a plus for me. The food was amazing with such good flavor. It came out hot and fresh the way it should be. We decided to have the egg drop soup as a starter, pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and Cantonese combo chop suey which all dishes were good. To drink I decided on a strawberry jasmine tea freshener which tasted really good. Needless to say we will be back when we return back to Tucson. read more

We have a range of eaters at our home- pity the person who ordered cashew chicken. Is it chicken? I'll post a photo of the bizarre substances that were included in the dish. Thin wisps of stringy, rubbery gunk with zero flavor other than an the soy sauce one's obliged to use. Seriously, it does not resemble fresh cut chicken at all. You gag as you try to swallow it. If you adore celery, this is the dish for you! You like cashews? -- well, hopefully you like hide and seek. Don't forget to make your own rice. It is not part of your meal. read more

This is based on takeout during this time of Covid-19. However, we will certainly go back to try this spot after the all-clear. They offer a nice range of dishes and what we had was pleasantly seasoned with the Szechuan offerings appropriately spicier than the other dishes. One negative was that they were trying to get the food ready so nobody would be waiting in the restaurant so they had it packed a little early and then there was the drive home which meant that crispiness was lost. That said, it was certainly right up there with the better Chinese places in Tucson. Our particular favorites were the stuffed eggplant and the green beans. The folks there were quite pleasant both taking the order and in serving me when I came in. The ambiance seemed nice, but again it was empty so hard to know. As we have been doing lately, we overbought so that we can have another meal or two. With that in mind, I thought our bill quite reasonable. One caveat, currently they are charging for rice because they are having trouble getting enough. Since we don't eat rice, I think they were happy to learn that I didn't need any. read more

Solid good strip mall Chinese restaurant fare. Nothing really unique, just lots of the usual choices found in such an establishment. In their favor is that dishes seem well executed and won't disappoint. read more

I haven't eaten in, only gotten delivery once and takeout twice. I'm really pleased with their food, it's the classic Chinese takeout taste that I am always looking for. The hot and sour potatoes are something I've never seen before on the menu and now a new favorite. I've ordered something different every time, and so far, no disappointments. Please note that you have to *ask* for steamed rice on the side. read more

There has been a Chinese restaurant in this space for at least 20 years. It's been vacant for a while but I think Sky Dragon will be a long term occupant. Wonderful food and fast friendly service. We started with some veggie rolls that were crisp and loaded, crab puffs that really tasted like crab. Tasty Wor Wonton that has huge pieces of fresh crisp vegetables. Then the main courses...we were already full from the starters. Chow Mein and Crispy Golden Pork Belly. Lots to share and take home. We will be back to try more. read more

I ordered a lunch special last Friday and the bill was $10.86 for the chicken chop Suey and the fried rice when I checked my checking account this morning after everything posted from the weekend they added a $30 tip on to my bill and there was no tip that was even left the total bill should've been $10.86 I think that that's very wrong to add a tip onto someone's bill without their permission or without them even adding it on themselves so you lost a customer. Plus this was a pickup order. Shame on you Sky Dragon. That is theft and I did report it to my bank! read more

We got takeout last night and were very pleased with the food. The green beans with garlic were fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious. The crispy duck had a very nice flavor and was well cooked. The cashew chicken was tasty and filled with a good variety of vegetables. Our order was ready on time and takeout service was very well managed. We will be back. read more

Knocking them down to 3 stars. The food is amazing but now entrees do not include rice. Since when does a Chinese restaurant not give rice with an entree order. Seems like a mis -priced menu if you have to charge customers extra for white rice. Rethink that idea would be my suggestion. read more

Was searching for good General Tso chicken which is hard to find in Tucson. This place recommended by a friend and didn't disappoint. I ordered the lunch size extra crispy. Flavor good and right spices and heat. Happy to have found an oasis in the desert read more

Hot and sour soup was worse and I couldn't have even half of it. The food wasn't that authentic and over priced as well. Wouldn't be going here again Customer service was however good and gets a five star read more

I pass this place all the time and I decided to give it a try today, bad idea, I walked in and had to stand there for a few min because the sign says to wait to be seated, there were only 2 tables being occupied, and one waitress that needs a class in customer service, she acted like she had an attitude when she seated me,. I decided what I wanted to eat and had to sit there another 10-15 min before she came and took my order, she brings me my food, but I had no silverware, so I had to wait till she brought my silverware, the food was horrible I have never seen egg drip soup so thick and disgusting, it literally looked like snot with peas in it, the rice was tasteless, and the sweet and sour chicken had no taste. So needless to say I left just as hungry as I did when I walked in. I will never patronize Sky Dragon ever again. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is great, and you get your good in 5 to 7 minutes. Love it here

Finally found a Chinese restaurant that's authentic and has some very traditional dishes. All dishes including chicken wraps and lo mein were delicious but my favorite was the steamed chicken. Very reasonably priced and the best part was we got to take leftovers home. Try the tapioca for dessert. What a treat! Be prepared to wait for your dishes since every dish is made to order. read more

Absurd pricing for tiny dishes. This place is in a great location and the food taste pretty good but after going here one time I can't come back knowing how much they charge for some simple Chinese dishes. I'm Chinese and eat a lot of Chinese food but would definitely not come back here because they over charge and the portions are really small! If you're a baller, this is the place for you. You'll have your own private dinner because this place was empty on a Saturday night.. read more

Welp I had high hopes for this place based on reviews but it's the typical wiggley white tasteless chicken (got the cashew chicken), everyone picked out the chicken and ate the celery and cashews. The beef chow fun was ok but a very small amount and not super flavorful. And the Szechuan scallops were super fishy and so thin that we couldn't tell the difference between water chestnuts and scallops. Still looking for high quality Chinese food in Tucson, someone please help.... read more

Very affordable Lunch combination specials. The food is always very fresh hot, and tasty

Don't bother. Absurd prices, boring food. Maybe if it was on someone else's dime I'd eat there again. Had sand in my broccoli (that they were going to add $2 to my already $11 tofu meal) so they took it off the tab. read more

Sky Dragon IS open for 'take out' but their phone line has been down since last week. If there is no answer you can 'Like' Sky Dragon on Facebook and order through private messenger. Or you can order at the restaurant and it doesn't take long at all. It continues to be excellent food from the most friendly people. The freshest ingredients with the best flavors. Personal favorites are: Lettuce Wraps Pot Stickers Kung Pao Chicken Peking duck Lions Head Meatballs War Wonton Soup Chow Fun Shrimp with Cashew nuts Gai Lin (Chinese Broccoli) Fried Rice and many more! Please continue to support this small business during this crazy time. Still the best Chinese food I've had anywhere...and again I include China Town in NYC and San Fran in that. read more

Fantastic Chinese food. We had take out on NYEd and it is our new favorite. I dream of their Spicy Green Beans - spicy, flavorful, make your mouth tingle but not so hot you can't taste the clean flavors. My husband had the BBQ Duck Lettuce Wraps and loved them as they had lots of flavor. The Salty, Spicy Tofu was amazing as were the Hot and Sour Potatoes. I can't wait until our next adventure. The ordering was easy and they made adjustments for our dietary issues. They explained the dishes perfectly when I asked questions. read more

I enjoyed the food and received food service here. If you're looking for a decent Chinese restaurant that isn't Pei Wei or Panda Express, this is a great place to go. They have good quality food with a variety of options to choose from. We came here around a Saturday night, and while it was empty when we arrived, it was full when we left about an hour later. Our waitress took a while to arrive, and then halfway through we received service from someone else. Not sure why, but they both did a good job. I started with the hot and sour soup, which was a bit on the sour side, but tasty. Normally, I've had hot and sour soup with pork, tofu, and mushrooms, but this just had tufo and mushrooms. It wasn't my favorite soup, but I wouldn't call it bad by any means. I ordered the sesame chicken, which wasn't too spicy but was quite flavorful. To be fair, there were hole peppers on the plate, but I didn't eat them directly as that didn't seem like a good idea (I also had no idea what kind they were). The chicken wasn't fried, which was refreshing. It's usually a fried chicken with a sweet and sticky sauce. It came with a side of rice, which I added to the sesame sauce. We got the fried mandu for dessert as I received a free dessert coupon for checking in on yelp. It's not actually for a free dessert, but $2.50 off, which is somewhat deceiving as it's clearly not what the coupon said. This is why I knocked a star off my review. Other than that, we had a good experience with excellent food. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by! read more

Average food quality for the price, they are a bit light on the amount of vegetables, meat, and seafood in each dish. Flavors were good but nothing to write home about! I was hoping for much more!!

YAS! Finally found a Chinese restaurant in Tucson worth going to and bragging about! Not only do they have excellent service (shout out to Ki!) their food is ON POINT! Fresh ingredients, quality and plenty to eat! If you want Chinese food that's not dripping in oil and a clean, simple environment to chow down, this is it. Sky Dragon, we will definitely be coming back and bringing people with us! Thank you for taking such good care of us read more

no wonder you have no business. here is what is wrong. i asked for hot mustard for my egg roll. i eat all over tucson and never have i been charged for 1teaspoon of hot mustard anywhere in tucson but for your place. . the hot and sour soup had nothing much in it and weak tasteless broth. i work with students in the phd program for mis. eller college. i lived overseas ten years. i am a good chinese cook myself. my students are good cooks. i would suggest this place improve.you have a nice location, nice interior, nice waitress, the entree was not too bad . if you do a little improving. you will probably do well. advertise on group on and if you get people liking you , you can build up your business.its up to you to improve. i will return if someone tells me things are better. read more

I feel bad leaving a one star review as we are frequent flyers of Sky Dragon. Unfortunately, they have a newer waitress who is quite possibly the rudest, most condescending person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. The food is great but if you're going to come here, do yourself a favor and call ahead of time and make sure Daniel is working and not Melissa. Having her wait on me is almost enough to make me choose a different restaurant! read more

I've probably driven by this place a thousand times and never thought to stop. After my usual spot closed, I decided to try Sky dragon.

Would definitely recommend this hidden gem. read more
