Wok & Roll

Of the handful of Chinese buffets in Tucson that I’ve tried over the years, this one stands out as the best. The serving trays always appear full of hot, fresh, colorfully appetizing variety; the serving lines are clean. Everything I’ve tasted there has been yummy. They also have a sushi line, which I’ve yet to visit; maybe next time. I live on the east side and there is a Chinese buffet much closer to home, but it pales in terms of quality, variety & atmosphere, making the long drive across town to Wok & Roll well worth it.

Arrived for lunch today (Thursday 09Nov23). Arrived prior to the 11am opening time so l walked around. The smells of the food cooking was noticable in the air. It smelled really good. The exterior of the building doesn't appear to be maintained very well. Litter and abundant weeds seem to be the norm. Sadly it appears as if the exterior grounds are of zero concern to the staff of this establishment as they are clearly neglected. Even though they claim to open at 11am, l stood in the lobby well past 11am when a staff member told me to sit on a nearby bench. A full 10min after opening l finally was seated by staff. My waitress took my drink order, l had asked for water with lemon. While the water was cold and clean tasting when l enquired about the lack of the accompanying requested lemon, l was informed it was on the food serving line. While l observed multiple servers gathering lemons to take to tables, my server seemed to be unwilling or incapable of delivering lemons to my table. The interior of the building including the tables and the buffet line all appeared to be clean and in good working order. The buffet bar was impressive in scope. It appeared to be well stocked with a multitude of fresh inviting trays of tasty food. It smelled beyond heavenly. The best item l enjoyed was the vegetable lo-mein. Very impressive effort even for simple lo-mein. I could have easily kept returning for multiple refills. I'm guessing at some point my server magically disappeared and somehow magically morphed into the hostess, so l soon found myself pawned off to a different server. Overall l was very satisfied with the quality, flavor and freshness of the food served here. While my service wasn't stellar, l never needed or wanted anything. While it certainly wasn't the best Chinese food I've ever eaten, it was certainly good food and given today's economic insanity, l feel it was priced fairly. While I'm personally not remotely into sushi or sushi rolls, the presentation of the numerous sushi selections appeared impressive and visually stunning. I'd gladly eat here again and can easily recommend this establishment.

Of all the Asian buffets in our area they definitely have the very best sushi bar. Besides that they have a decent variety of other dishes. They bring out small batches so dishes are freshly prepared. Kids love the ice cream and dessert bar. Sunday is more expensive with a wider selection of seafood.
