Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Affordable with HUGE portions. It's nice to have an option of Thai and Chinese. The place is lit up so you don't go for atmosphere , but it's tidy and isn't tacky or lacking in taste. Usually just has one server, maybe even the owner. I guess I took away a star because there is nothing special about the service, just really good food. I will also say this in hope that they read it. Just check on the restrooms now and then. Which makes it more of a 3 1/2 start but I didn't want to take it down to a 3, so sticking with 4.

I have been going to this place since I lived in my apartment on Orange grove. I LOVE their thai food. Their curry and spring rolls are supreme. I took my wife their not to long ago and she LOVED the spring rolls and curry as well. It is a little place that does not look like much from the outside. However explore, and check it out inside. I now live on the south side, but still drive up there and get their spring rolls and curry. Best kept secret in Tucson!! Staff are ALWAYS helpful, and are attentive, without being annoying. LOVE this place GREAT FOOD at a reasonable price.

The Chinese cuisine at Chinese Combo Express is underwhelming and served in extremely small to-go portions. The beef chow fun is served WITHOUT any kind of sauce: just a few noodles, a few pieces of beef, and a smattering of veggies - very strange. The "Thai" food contains no trace of ANY ingredients actually used in Thai cooking (e.g. cilantro, coconut milk, galangal, etc.) The flavors and textures in Chinese Combo's version of Thai food are really quite foul. Please do not offer food for sale that you cannot actually make. One star for saying that they do not cook with MSG and the other to the friendly hostess.

Chinese Combo Express is very, very consistent. They have great little lunch specials which come with a small soup and an egg roll and are very inexpensive. My husband and I order takeout from here every so often. It is always fresh and prepared correctly. I've never had anything missing from the order :) Tucson is not known for Chinese food. This place is pretty decent for Tucson. The chicken pad Thai has a nice viscosity to the sauce and the flavors are good. I like that they put both the hot spices on the side so you can make it super spicy if you like. They also put their crushed peanuts on the side so you can control the amount of crunch on your noodles. The noodles have that great chewy texture and overall it's a nice dish. We typically will change up what we order, but it's worth noting that the General Taos Chicken is a bit on the sweeter side rather than spicy. I like the way they fry the chicken they use. Crisp and the chicken is moist. The panang chicken curry is excellent. Sweet from the coconut milk and spicy and the sauce is nice and thick. Their hot and sour soup also needs a mention because it is flavorful and complex. One of the best hot and sour soups I've had. The ambiance of the actual storefront is not fancy. Definitely stick to takeout!!

Wandering around and looking for a Thai Restaurant near out hotel after the Gem Show we ended up at this place. The GPS on my phone kept pulling up this place instead of the one we wanted to go to so we just decided to eat there. We were put off by the title and the fact that it is next to a check cashing place, but we were so tired of driving around and hungry, besides it was next to a Asian market/mall and I've had wildly delicious meals in similar places in L.A. I have to admit seeing the Chinese Combo Thai Restaurant sign made me suspicious. Ordered Panang Curry and Pad Thai with some rice egg rolls. The rice egg rolls were good and it was great that we had the option to have gluten free egg rolls served with a sugary sauce. The Curry was okay, but very sweet and not very fragrant as the Thai food I am accustomed to. It did not seem so authentic and there weren't enough vegetables. The Pad Thai had linguine like noodles, not the wide substantial ones, and very little vegetables. It did not have that wok cooked roasted flavor I have had and prefer. Again it was very sugary and the aromatic spices did not come through. It was more like a fast food version attempt at Thai. Portions were not generous. It was okay, but did not satisfy my cravings for the typical exotic and aromatic spices and aromas of the Thai food I have eaten elsewhere. The service was fine though so I was satisfied with that.

If I lived around this place, I would go there every day for lunch. The lunch deals are real deals! I love how their dishes have a considerable amount of veggies compared to most other asian places I've been to. The dishes also taste fresh and healthier. My favorites are the Thai stir-frys, the spring rolls and the peanut sauce, and of course the Thai tea. Although the Thai curries are a bit sweeter than the ones I've had in Thailand, they're all quite authentic. I would highly recommend trying this place out. And if you're into authentic Chinese food, ask them for the Chinese menu!

This is based just on their Thai tom kha Jay soup. I've been to thailand....and can not compare the soup from there to here. But this is by far the best tom kha I've ever had. The broth is not over powered by coconut milk. It has a great balance of flavor from the lemon grass, and may even have a hint of orange some where. Will Def be back just for this soup.

Really pleasantly surprised by this place. Had no idea it was even here except that I was in a hurry to grab some grub on New Years Day, Ole mexican food was closed, and I was not gonna deal with subway...just had to give them a try. At 2:50, I was given a special menu (in addition to the regular) for their lunch combos. No Gang Garee on there, but Pad Thai sounded good, so I went with that and decided on the hot and sour soup as opposed to the egg drop. Lunch combo comes with soup, rice (but not for pad thai), and eggroll. The hot and sour soup came out immediately and was quite good. If you read my previous reviews, you will see that Im a bit of a HSS connoisseur, and this was up there for me...maybe 3rd best Ive had in the city. The plate came out and I was very excited. The pad thai looked to be of the right consistency and with good sauce application. Chicken was noticeably sparse, but whatevs. I really liked the presentation most of all. The portion was a good size for the price, and the plate had small sections for the crumbled peanuts, crushed chilis, and sweet and sour sauce for the eggroll. The Pad Thai was pretty good. Ive had significantly better, but Ive had FAR FAR worse. It was good in every way I would say with the exception that the flavor did not have much depth. Even after squeezing a lime and adding some peanuts, it just seemed kind of monotone. The one tone, however was quite pleasant. I think Im just spoiled... Anyway, a fully enjoyable experience and at a very good price! More people really need to try this place. Would hate to see it go away because of its strange location or unassuming looks from the outside and in. Probably the best Thai Ive found on the NW side as well.

We ordered (take put) tofu pad Thai, combo fried rice, sesame chicken, and crispy Thai egg rolls. Everything was great! I liked how separate red pepper flakes, minced peanuts, and sauce were included in the take out box so I could add them to my taste. The meat and shrimp in the fried rice were cooked well, all juicy and flavorful. I really liked the subtle spice in the egg rolls. The sesame chicken was juicy and the sauce had a little bit of spice to it. The people there were very friendly. We walked in, ordered, went to Lee Lee's, and our food was ready when we finished shopping (15 minutes). The restaurant itself is nothing fancy but it's spacious. I would feel fine going there for a laid back date night with my husband or friends. We went on a Monday around 5 and the place was empty. I look forward to trying more food on the menu next time!

This place is located right next to Lee Lee's market, which means fresh produce and authentic items are used in the cooking. We had the lunch menu which was very reasonably priced at 5.99- this comes with soup, rice and egg roll, so plenty to fill you up. We ordered the Panang Curry which we cook at home and know very well- the flavor was nice, but a bit on the sweet side, overall a nice dish though. They added carrots and peas which is a bit odd though....We also ordered the Larb which was very good. We used to live in Thailand and this was a pretty close replication of the dish we love. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions- even about preparation of Thai dishes that were not on the menu. It's not the fanciest place, but sensibly priced. We will be back to check out the other Thai menu options.

It can often be difficult to find a good asian food place without having to try several, terrible firsts. Thankfully, this was the second asian food restaurant I had tried in Tucson, and I immediately fell in love. They have an extensive menu with all different sorts of food. My personal favorite is the pad thai, which I crave often! My husband loves their Walnut Chicken. Best Pad Thai I've ever had though, and their staff is very friendly!
(5)Fringe O.
Very oily and lots of sugar added. I have had several of their thai dishes with tofu. They all come with thick, oily sauces that taste like lots of sugar has been added. This is fast food "oriental" food. Don't go here if you want traditional Asian food.

I showed up with around 10 people and you would think the restaurant would have been more excited to see us. The place was virtually empty and I thought the service should be pretty quick today as there were only three other tables to serve. Wrong. Our plates came out over the course of 15 minutes. When my tea was empty, that was it. We finally had to go pay at the counter as everyone finished up, some of us having been done for quite a while since the plates showed up at different times. I wish I had gone to the same place the other people reviewed. The food was mediocre at best.

Wow! Inexpensive, tasty, Thai in Tucson! I am a huge fan! I have not had anything that disappointed, and I am not an easy taster. From fish to salads to curries to the usual pad thai, this place is unbelievably fresh, reasonable, and quick!

My husband found this place by accident--glad he did! Lunch menu is just $5.99 and you get a lot of food (main dish, egg roll, soup). I love their hot and sour soup! YUM! We went there for dinner and the protions were very generous as well. I got the Red curry and coconut milk chicken--divine! I couldn't finish it all and had leftovers for lunch the next day. My husband got Pad Thai with chicken and said it was quite good. Service was very good, too. We'll be going there or getting take out again.

My husband and I happened upon this restaurant on Easter as most nearby restaurants were closed. We enjoyed our lunch very much. My husband tried the vegetables with tofu and I had the panang with chicken. Both were very good, and only 5.99 with an egg roll and soup for lunch. On top of this the service was very quick and friendly. Most definitely worth a try!
