This is a seriously cute family-run place located in a strip mall off Babcock. While you won't find much more than your classic Asian-Americanized dishes, what they do is quite good. Service was wonderful and I got to chat with the lady running the front desk while someone (her husband? son?) cooked in the back. Got a couple dishes to go, and they were pretty tasty. The mushroom chicken is delish, and kudos to them for sending out the sweet n' sour pork without pouring on the sauce. It came in a separate container for us to pour, ensuring that the pork bits stayed crispy. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

Pretty basic for a Chinese restaurant nothing to write home about but I will write a review for y'all. Not sure about the soup seemed heavy on the egg and not very hot. My order was wrong, as I asked for sauce on the side, an extra crispy. Neither was done, it also had a different taste than expected. The fried rice was very, very basic. I will add the service was prompt and friendly, but I was also the only person in the restaurant. read more

I used to live down the street but I never had considered trying it until recently. Based on their rating, I was hoping for some reliable Chinese food and that this could be a spot I frequent. I really liked that they offered a dinner combo special. For my order, I opted for the Beef and Broccoli, General Tso's chicken. The meal included fried rice and an egg roll. Also grabbed an order of rangoons for my wife. I had placed the order online which was very convenient. I arrived to pick up my order and found it was ready to go. The female who helped ring me up was pleasant. There weren't any other patrons in the restaurant at the time of my visit. Seems like this is a place where take out is more prevalent versus dining in. The meal itself wasn't very hot temperature wise, but it was still edible. I had asked for it to be made extra spicy but that request seemed to be ignored. The food was okay, just nothing really stood out. The best part may have been the egg roll. I'm not sure if I will be back to this place in the future but at least I got to see what their food is like. read more

Not terrible but it's really meh. Foods really bland there's better options around for chinese.

I went here because of the reviews, but was disappointed about the food and tea. The restroom was clean which I was happy about. But the tea tasted old and not clean. The egg drop was really yellow and looked over cooked and the taste was overpowering with salt. The rice wasn't to my liking either or the sesame chicken also found a small bone in the chicken. They serve you very little but I would expect better for a 14.30 fee for the meal. Had a lot better for the same price range. Very disappointed in the establishment read more

Ordered Lo Mein with fried rice and the large Shrimp friend rice. The fried rice had a bad taste to it today and the only response I received is that they will talk to the chef. We frequent there and have never had a problem but today we did and there was no offer to refund and actually no apology either. We spent almost $30 and it definitely was a waste of money. read more

Tasty and good value. The fried rice isn't the best I've had, but it's not bad enough to stop me from ordering here again.

Ate here for dinner and the food was delicious! It's a great portion of food for little cost. I will definitely be eating here more often. The staff was also super friendly and sweet (: read more

Could had done better, had Chicken Garlic sauce and don't know what it was but it looked kinda like black burnt sauce w no flavor. I also complained because I also ordered sesame chicken, it was dry hard chicken couldn't even know if it was overheated chicken. No flavor...I'm sorry won't come back. read more

The rice is amazing. Every meal I've ever gotten from here has been fire, trust Combo Fried Rice read more

Customer service - 10/10 Vibes & music - slay Price - cheap Okay to the important part... the food - the lo mein and orange chicken were both really good. I think the lo mein had the perfect amount of greasiness you would expect. The orange chicken had really good sauce and right amount of crispiness. The fried rice was also really good! I think if you are wanting "takeout Chinese" this is a good spot. Am definitely coming here again when I crave takeout Chinese food. read more

A small but amazing low key inexpensive Chinese food place. I believe that it's a family business. Extremely friendly folks. Their young son is already an expert in greeting & seating people. I even observed him clean up a customer table after they ate. Their teenage daughter took my order for General Tso's lunch special with free egg drop soup and egg rool, all for $6.50. I asked for my chicken to be extra crispy. It was done to perfection -- delicious. Probably the best General Tso's I've had in TX. They had a special plum sauce on each table for their egg roll. The sauce was amazing with the already delicious egg roll. The complimentary crunchy fried noodles was likewise delicious. I was also surprised with a complimentary yummy cookie. UPDATE: Just letting all know that I found out that this restaurant has been under new ownership since just about 2 years ago. I think the new owners are a lot better based on my experience and the reviews I've read. I think they deserve a break from us reading reviews before 2017. read more

This is our go to place. Food is always fresh and hot and good. Highly recommend. Love the won ton soup.

Honestly I think this place deserves more ratings, the food is so dang good! I got the combo lo mein and it tastes so rich and flavorful as my mom says to anything she thinks tastes so good. The crab Rangoon are crispy and the spring rolls are also crispy and flavorful. My mom got rice noodles and they tasted like it was cooked with peanut oil or something. The flavor of the oil was rich and awesome. My brother got the sesame chicken and my goodness it was so sweet and savory. The rice he got with it smelled so good and I think it was basmati. In conclusion, the prices and the food, everything is so awesome. I recommend!!! read more

Food and service were both amazing. Egg drop soup was delicious, lemon chicken came out piping hot with a delicious sauce. They have some of the best egg rolls in San Antonio, too. The restaurant is clean, and has a peaceful ambiance. Service was very friendly and the prices are great. Highly recommend you stop for lunch some time. read more

The food was delicious, everything is freshly made. The Kung Pao chicken was the best we have ever had.

Very friendly, small restaurant located in a strip mall- I ordered egg drop soup, Kung Pao Chicken and the egg roll. Everything was yummy-I will definitely return. The egg drop soup came with the crispy chips and they were good- not greasy as I've found in the past. My meal also came with 2 scoops of rice which is nice as most of the time, after the 1st scoop, you are wishing for a little more to finish off the meal, the egg roll was also hot and crispy- not refried. Yum, yum, will see what else they have on the menu next time- oh- no fortune cookie, some type of very crispy almond type cookie. read more

China Bistro - General Tso's chicken, fried rice, rangoons - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

By far the best food I've had in San Antonio! Coming from Florida, I found it hard to find a restaurant that served good Chinese food, until I found this place. I've only ordered pick up, and every time the food is piping hot! My go to are the lunch and dinner specials in which you can usually get an entree served with rice, with a side of soup and one appetizer of your choice. I've had the chicken with broccoli, beef with broccoli, and lo mein, and all tasted delicious. I also always order the egg drop soup and it has a great consistency and is never thin! And although I've only ordered to go, the service has always been exceptional each time. 10/10, this place is a must try! read more

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE WASTE THEIR MONEY HERE! Every 4-5 star review for this place is a damn lie! One word describes this food, "disgusting!" Lemon chicken was the worst I've ever tried. I tried 2 bites of one slice and I couldn't force myself to eat it. Sesame chicken had no sesame seeds and was the cheapest, fattest part of a chicken. My wife ate half a piece and had me try it. I can't even describe the taste it was so bad. The lady asked if I wanted something else and I said no. I didn't want to try anything else after 2 major fails on common American Chinese food dishes. I just paid $18 for a cup of rice and 2 egg rolls. The lady did not remove the charge and billed me full price! Never again! read more

Meh. Just Meh. Hit and sour soup was black, never seen it that color, it tasted terrible so I poured it out.

Was pretty blown away by this place, Might be my favorite new Chinese food place in SA, and I'm lucky enough to be in walking distance of it! The General Tso's and fried rice are delicious and there's no beating the $6.50 lunch specials read more
