Chinese Box Update

Posted by Adam Borowitz on Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:14 PM

We wrote about a restaurant called Chinese Box in this week's Noshing Around column, but outside of information gleaned from a banner on the exterior we knew very little about it. A reader dropped us an e-mail this morning to let us know that Peter Fung, the owner of Mandarin Grill at 8300 N. Thornydale Road, will be co-owner of the business.

Fung says the place will serve authentic Cantonese and Mandarin fast food. He stressed that the place will not be just another Panda Express and that it will not serve "Americanized Chinese food." The menu will have about 25 items, most of which will fall in the $6 range. He hopes to have it open by the end of April, and would like to open other locations if the first one works out.

Delivery will be available within a three-mile radius. Hours: 10 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Thursday; and 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. on weekends.

What part of Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Shrimp Broccoli, Green Pepper better yet Bell Pepper Beef and Hot and Sour Soup is Authentic Chinese? Everything on the Menu is as Americanized as Panda Express. There is NOT one item that is considered Authentic Chinese on its Menu. You can get "everything" on the menu from any of the 100 or so Chinese Restaurants in Tucson. Does that mean the 100 or so other Chinese Restaurant in town does not serve Americanized Chinese food and that everything is considered Authentic Chinese Food? or vise-a-verse? Get your Facts straight!!!
