La Bella China Restaurant — Restaurant in Tucson

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take a moment to share my thoughts on an important issue that directly impacts our dining experiences. Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy a meal from a local restaurant, but unfortunately, it was marred by an unexpected and rather unpleasant incident. My wife and I were excited to savor the culinary delights they had to offer, but our enthusiasm quickly turned to dismay when she discovered a long strand of hair intertwined with her meal. This incident not only soured our experience but also led to some unfortunate health repercussions that we faced later that night.

This brings me to a critical point: the necessity for restaurant staff to maintain high standards of hygiene, particularly when it comes to wearing gloves during food preparation and service. It’s essential to ensure that all employees are diligent about what they are doing and that the food being served meets sanitary standards to avoid any potential hazards.

Moreover, there’s another pressing concern regarding the quality of ingredients used in our meals. It is vital for restaurants to regularly check their supplies and ingredients to ensure they are fresh and safe for consumption. After all, expired ingredients can turn a delicious dish into a regrettable experience—not to mention the potential risks they pose to our health.

In fact, this particular incident was not an isolated one; it highlighted a larger pattern of concern that some guests have experienced. I learned that as many as 67 customers might have faced similar issues related to the quality of food served at this establishment. This isn't just about one dish or one bad night; it's about the trust that we, as patrons, place in the restaurants we choose for our meals. We should feel safe and confident that what we’re consuming has been handled with utmost care and respect for our well-being.

In closing, I urge everyone involved in the restaurant industry to take these matters to heart. Let us work together to ensure that all dining experiences are not only enjoyable but also safe for every customer who walks through those doors. Thank you for taking the time to listen to...

I seriously have to wonder who is writing all these great reviews, because I was less than impressed with this "Asian" restaurant.

We were hungry for Chinese, so I ordered some of our favorites for take-out. I ordered eggrolls, hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, pork fried rice, cashew chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce and BBQ sliced pork, which was a nice sampling of the menu. The eggrolls were the best part of the meal. They were still crunchy and fresh, even after the 15 minute drive home.

It all went downhill from there. This was the most Americanized Chinese food I've ever had. Everything was chocked full of peas, carrots, squash and celery. If I wanted that, I would have made chicken pot pie at home. The egg drop soup had corn in it. Yes, corn. Worst of all, there wasn't one shred of scallions in ANY of the food. It's not Asian food without a generous sprinkling of scallions.

All in all, the flavors were ok, but this restaurant is Asian-inspired American cuisine at best. I have to think they are either paying people for their reviews or the other reviewers have never actually eaten or cooked real Chinese...

Entered and waited…. Waited… Waited… Employee entered and everything was laughs and giggles.

Finally walked up to the counter and ordered from the uninterested-mild mannered cashier. (No worries)

Received food in a bulk spoon packing box, as if we were taking out their trash. (Made me a bit uneasy) Was not sure if I ordered from Costco, but it felt trashy.

Order consisted of Chow-mein noodles, which they only had lo-mein noodles, (No issues there) but when I arrived home I found NOT a single noodle. (They could have just said they were out of noodles.) The rest of the order checked out, beef, shrimp and veggies. (Very bland) In replacement of the noodles, I found the thick sauce that is normally a bi-product of cooking beef on a very low flame. Looked like soup… but it wasn’t. It was also boiling hot. It spilled through the trash box I received and burned my hands when I grabbed it.

All in all, don’t trust the reviews. This place was sub-par to a few other local joints. Overhyped. The exterior looks very...
