Tucson Craves These Five Flavors
It’s one thing to say you serve the best Chinese food in Tucson—it’s another to prove it with flavor. At Mandarin Grill, our menu is packed with crave-worthy meals, but five dishes stand above the rest thanks to rave reviews, repeat orders, and pure culinary joy.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong fan, these five dishes represent the heart of what we do best.
1. Orange Chicken – The Go-To Classic
Crispy, golden-brown chicken tossed in a perfectly sweet-and-zesty orange glaze. It’s a top seller across our Lunch Specials, Dinner Combos, and Family Meals, and it's easy to see why.
Pro tip: Add Hot and Sour Soup and a crispy egg roll for the ultimate lunch upgrade.
2. Mongolian Beef – Bold, Spicy, and Satisfying
Served sizzling hot with green onions in our house garlic sauce, this one’s for flavor seekers. Our Mongolian Beef is a spice-laced fan favorite that makes every bite memorable. Also available with chicken or shrimp.
Also featured on our Dinner Special menu and Family Dinner line-up.
3. Honey Walnut Shrimp – Creamy, Crispy, Crowd-Pleaser
Delicate jumbo shrimp, battered and lightly fried, then coated in a signature honey cream sauce and topped with caramelized walnuts. A luxurious favorite from our House Specials.
It looks fancy, tastes decadent, and photographs beautifully—aka social media gold.
4. Mandarin Grill Cantonese House Chow Mein – House-Style Noodle Magic
This noodle masterpiece blends shrimp, chicken, and beef with crisp vegetables in a savory gravy served over golden egg noodles. Comfort food with an elegant twist.
Part of what makes this dish so unforgettable? It’s unique to Mandarin Grill.
5. Kung Pao Chicken – A Classic with a Kick
Spicy, nutty, and crunchy in all the right ways. Our Kung Pao Chicken is a standout for lunch, dinner, or Family-Style feasting. Stir-fried with celery, water chestnuts, bell peppers, carrots, and roasted peanuts, it's fiery and deeply satisfying.
Also available with beef, shrimp, or tofu.
