This place was a great find! When you enter and sit down, you'll be greeted by a lot of menus which can be a bit overwhelming, but you will want to try everything on the menu.
If you go on Saturday or Sunday, you get offered a dim sum menu and those are the jackpot. We got some pork buns from the menu and they were amazing. They were so soft but cooked to perfection and they are now the standard for any buns going forward.
Their sushi was also amazing. The portions are just right and the wait was not long at all. We had the an eel roll and a California tempura (we had another roll with flakes and crab but can't remember what it was). I would probably prefer the baked California roll, but that is just because I prefer the spicy mayo on top.
Please give this place a try! I will come back with my girlfriend and hopefully have some insight on the vegetarian options!

Traveling through Tucson and staying near the airport, I was craving some sushi and decided to give this spot a shot. The reviews were raving about the dim sum, and they had shark fin, so why not?
You're given 6 different single sheet front and back printed laminated pages for their overwhelmingly large menu, and two pieces of paper like most dim sum restaurants to tick how many of each dish you want.
I ended up with the spicy octopus as an appetizer, the red dragon roll for sushi, and the Chinese sausage, quail egg, shark fin gow, and soup dumplings for dim sum. Way more food than I could reasonably eat, but I didn't really grasp the size of the dim sum dishes.
The octopus stated that it came with a spicy sauce for dipping, but, it had no sauce and seemed to have a spicy breading instead.
The red dragon roll was good. The thickly cut eel on top was warm from being freshly cooked and the tuna inside was chilled so it had a unique mouth feel. Not the star of the meal, which was surprising for a restaurant with sushi in its name, but very good.
The Chinese sausage had pretty bland bao dough, but the sausage itself was tasty albeit skinny.
This was my first time trying shark fin gow after falling in love with shark fin soup, and I was underwhelmed. Not a ton of shark, and the surprising addition of carrots.
The soup dumplings were awesome, but, they came in individual aluminum tins which made slurping the soup a bit difficult compared to using soup spoons. Their dough was also very thick on top and much thinner on the bottom so some soup got out.
Finally though, my absolute favorite was the quail egg shumai. It was like a Japanese "scotch egg". Pork wrapped around the quail egg and wrapped again in dough and steamed to perfection. So delicious. I could've eaten these as a meal by themselves.
Definitely recommend!
No Dim Sum carts here; everything is made to order! They also have photos on the menu to make it easier if you don't know what the names are. This is great for my wife who doesn't like the pressure of immediately saying yes or no to a cart lady. The food is fantastic and there are additional Dim Sum choices available only on Saturday and Sunday. Prices are reasonable: $4.95/$5.95/$6.95. Did not try the sushi, but they have an extensive selection of that, and cooked dishes and soups also. Outside of the "linen tablecloth" places (which this is not), this is the first I've been to which properly sets each place with two pairs of chopsticks-- one for eating and one for serving. Great place! I'll be back!
The food here is amazing! We definitely ordered a bit more than we needed to but it was well worth it. The portions are decently sized and the dim sum is great. Also had the Mongolian beef and it was super tender. I'll definitely be back.
Father and I are visiting from out of state, fried rice blew us out of the water!! We couldn’t get enough! California Rolls and Crab sushi were excellent. Salmon eggs were a touch vinegary, and the orange chicken had great flavor, but was a little a little too crispy for my liking.
Loved it. A place you definitely need to visit soon!
We wanted to try this place out since it was a few minutes from our house, I called ahead of time and asked if they had the sesame buns which are my favorite and they said yes, everything was good. My only complaint is they brought things out one at a time, it would’ve been nice to have at least a few things at a time so that we could put on our plate and eat together my favorite sesame buns that I called about. They forgot to bring them out so I questioned it a couple of times and finally they said it would be about 15 minutes , I could hear them arguing in the back about it I know they forgot but at the end I did ask them to at least take that off the bill to make things right and they did. The food was great!
I love this little gem. The food is tasty and fresh and there is a variety to pick from. They have the best dim sum in Arizona. This beauty is sticky rice in lotus leaf (pro tip you don't eat the leaf) it's amazing.
I have driven passed this place for years. I thought there was no way it could be good after all the other businesses this location held before had failed...I was wrong. Excellent eats! I wanted sushi, one kid wanted soup, the other wanted orange chicken. I read that this place had all of that and more! The pork dumplings were so good! Sushi was fresh and creative. Orange chicken was crispy and not too sweet like panda express. The service was quick and attentive. I will definitely go back! We ran out of room on our table because we ordered so much. 4 of us stuffed our faces, had left overs, and it only cost about $100 which for the amount of food was a steal.
Gotten take out here twice now. Once for dim sum and once for sushi. This is a great place for dim sum and okay for sushi. Their dim sum menu has been approved by my Cantonese boyfriend! They have all the popular dim sum dishes, all of which were good even after our 30 min drive back home to eat them. Pick up was easy and fast. We ordered by phone and our food was ready on time. Their pastry is so good and I would highly recommend the pineapple buns!
Pro:
Fast service
Easy pick up
