Came here twice recently with my family, and had the family style dinner. We had a fun time! This place is an oldie but goodie!!

We had a work meeting down the street from Ding How so decided to take our group of 8 here for lunch. We had a wait of about 10 minutes for a table of 8 since it was around noon on a Friday. The table we got was a round table perfect to fit us all but still able to talk with the whole group. They have 4 daily lunch specials along with their full dinner menu available for ordering. Everyone enjoyed their food and service was friendly and still pretty quick for a party of 8. read more

I've heard this place has been popular for Chinese food for many and I've finally made it here to see for myself. The decor throughout the restaurant gives you all you'd expect from a legit Chinese restaurant. The service was as I would hope. Attentive, courteous, and friendly. Ordered lunch specials of lemon chicken and Szechuan beef. All the food was served with satisfying portions and great flavor. I would most likely be visiting Ding How again in the future. read more

Finally got to try Ding How. I've seen it mentioned a lot in one of my foodie groups for SA and I've passed it more times than I can count but have never gotten to go until today. I was underwhelmed though, the portions are huge which I know some will enjoy. But the quality lacked a lot to me, both the egg drop and wonton soups had a unique artificial yellow sheen. We ordered the dinner for 2 and also the sweet and sour chicken. The beef and broccoli were okay, the sauce was reminiscent of a packet sauce with how salty it was but the meat and veggies were cooked nicely. The lemon chicken was moist and had a nice crunchy outside, the sweet and sour was the same since the only difference is the sauce that's served on the side. The sweet and sour chicken did have maraschino cherries which I found odd but my kiddo loved lol. Our server was nice, and the restaurant itself gives me nostalgia of one I visited often as a child in Houston. But over all I don't think we'll be back, I'm glad I got to check it out finally though after years of saying id try it. read more

This place was okay. Food wasn't bad but I can't say I enjoyed it either. I went with my go-to Generals Tso chicken and it was different from what I'm used to. I like a more spicy Generals chicken theirs is almost sweet. The portion was extremely large and it could've easily been a shareable plate. The rice was good just a tad dry. I'd much rather pay the same price for a much higher quality dish. I can't complain, it was good enough. I did try a bit of their orange chicken which i did enjoy. Our server was Katie, she was sweet and very attentive. My drink never went empty and I always had exactly what I needed. The place was pretty busy given the time of day. The restaurant was pretty nice and felt authentic. I liked their little fountain pond at the entrance. The music was also suiting which added to the experience. I hear so much about this place and perhaps I just didn't order one of their best dishes. I'd be back to try some more options in the future. read more

The quality of the food I'd changing for worse. They charge you extra for fried rice but it is just yellow steamed rice. (Ripoff)!!!!

Since I was going to be in the area and was wanting some Chinese food, I decided to order from Ding How. I had been here many times in the past but it had been many years ago. I conveniently placed my order online, choosing a combo plate with lemon chicken and beef and broccoli. The cashier was friendly and quick and I was on my way. Based on what I remember, it appears nothing changed on the interior of the building. I found the lemon chicken to be the best part of my meal. The rice didn't seem to have much flavor. I was bummed that I received won tons instead of an egg roll. I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon, because I feel there are better options out there. read more

Ding How Chinese Restaurant - Combination lunch plate with lemon chicken, beef and broccoli, rice, and won tons - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Our server Arturo made our dinning experience amazing! He was attentive, funny and made us feel very welcome. We got there when the lunch rush was hustling and bustling, and he still managed to be attentive. This place has been open for a very long time. I love the decor . Now onto the food. We ordered the sesame chicken, and the combination chow mein, which was really good, but the sesame Chicken was definitely the showstopper. Our whole dining experience was amazing. The food was great. You do get a lot of food for your money. Thank you again. Arturo, for making this visit. Memorable. read more

We came here on a Tuesday for lunch. There is decent parking, but it was absolutely packed. We had to circle around a couple of times to wait for someone to leave. There was a short wait, but we were sat pretty quickly. The restaurant is large and well decorated. Our server was very attentive. We started with vegetable spring rolls. I got the lunch special and picked the Mongolian chicken and green pepper steak. I upgraded my wonton chips to an egg roll. My wife got chicken lo mein. The food came out fast and the portions were massive. Everything was delicious and the leftovers reheated well. Their mustard was really strong read more

Ding How Chinese Restaurant - Bathroom - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I don't understand the good reviews. By far the worst restaurant I've eaten at, not just the worst Chinese restaurant, the ABSOLUTE WORST restaurant. I made the mistake not looking at the photos first as I would of had an inkling about the focus on quantity over quality. Majority of the food was bland and cold. Our family ordered the lunch specials and here are the summaries for each order: 1. Lemon Chicken- extremely large portion, sauce lacks depth, and rice is a weird texture and not like any fried rice I have ever seen. It is more like days old boiled rice that wasn't quite fried. The sauce is some type of red sauce. I could not eat the rice. 2. Sweet and Sour Pork- again, extremely large portion, sauce had no flavor and had too much gelatin or cornstarch. It was as if they microwaved it beyond the acceptable temperature and then cooled down into a goop. The meat tasted very old. The food was served cold with the rice and was all inedible. 3. Mongolian Beef- served cold and flavorless with the rice. 4. Mongolian Chicken- served semi-warm and flavorless. Served with the rice. Other food we ordered and here are the summaries for each: 5. Crab Rangoons- a misnomer as there was zero crab or even crab flavor in these. Just a dollop of flavorless cream cheese. 6. BBQ Pork Ribs- extremely chewy. It took over 30 minutes to eat one. I believe these had been previously cooked and then put either in a fryer or oven way past cooking time. This made the meat tough and inedible. 7. Egg drop soup- was decent and came out before the rest of the food. 8. Egg Roll- very large and tasty. This is the only item I actually ate in full. It came out before the food. 9. Iced Tea- served unsweetened and not much of a flavor. Service The server was pushy and wanted my husband to share his soup. He did not want to and she still brought 4 bowls despite asking for 2. Also, the servers are zigzagging everywhere with their carts. The food carts used to serve the food are dirty and have not been cleaned in a long time. Gratuity is automatically added (not sure for how many people). Ambiance Tables too close together and many people talking loudly. Waiting area crowded and as aforementioned, servers and other workers zigzagging through tables and crowds. Everything has years of accumulated dirt such as the restroom and walkways and the serving carts. Conclusion I don't understand the appeal of this place. I always saw this building but never ate here and after trying it I will never return. I don't know what Chinese food people have been eating to believe that this is the best Chinese food around. read more

Crowded, rushed, and very limited to no gluten free options. This is extremely discouraging when the menu specially says to tell the servers if there are any food allergies. The patrons sitting in the tables around us were constantly waving their servers down for service they previously requested. read more

The lo mein does not miss--absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked noodles, great flavor, and a generous portion. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. On top of that, the service was amazing and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to and would recommend to others. read more

I can recommend Ding How. The food overall was good, very large portions. The "family style" dinner for 4 could have fed 8. But soup, eggroll, wonton all good. Fried fish speciality very good. Lemon chicken good, as was sweet sour pork (those served sauce on the side; appreciate that!). Beef broccoli a bit salty and the lo mein a bit burnt. Fried rice seemed more yellow (think saffron) rice but no veggies. But beautiful inside, a lovely environment. And our wait staff Sam was great, very attentive and friendly. It was a pleasant dinner experience, and we will for sure be back. read more

Ding How has been around my whole life. I've been there as a small child, teen and into adult years. They have received a lot of my money. It's that good. Mostly have ordered to go but it's a real treat to sit in the restaurant and take in all the culture. The service is always amazing and they are always smiling. The food has been consistently good since I was a small child. Never a miss and still in my opinion have the best lemon chicken and the best egg roll. Can also say their orange chicken is also the best. If you have never been to the Chinese restaurant on stilts- you are missing out. Go check them out. read more

My boss always orders from here for business meetings which is how I found out about the place, so now for my birthday she always orders from here because I love their chicken lo mein. This year for my birthday I took my hubby and kids to the actual restaurant. My eldest had a kids plate. My hubby got beef lo mein and I got chicken lo mein. The baby ate from both of our plates and she loved it. The portions are great! The owners were there and they were so nice to our daughters. They gave both of our kids a handful of fortune cookies before leaving :) read more

Ding How Chinese Restaurant - Our baby trying lo mein - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Visited solo on Wed 3/25/26@2pm. Plenty of Parking spots. Placed was packed & waited 10min to be seated. Service was quick, efficient & attentive. Ordered egg roll, egg drop soup, triple delight & substituted with fried rice which was delivered promptly. Soup was hot & great especially with a few wontons. Egg roll was huge compared to most other competitors & was delicious. Fried rice was spectacular especially underneath the triple delight, tender melt in ur mouth beef & chicken & the shrimp was cooked perfectly. All fresh ingredients baby corn, celery, sugar snap peas, carrots, cabbage, broccoli & mushrooms were awesomely tasty along with being drenched in their delicious brown gravy. Huge portions so had to box up the remaining dish for a later tasty meal. What a great early dinner at Ding How. Even though its was crowded it was still amazingly quiet inside. I'll definitely be back to try so many other great sounding dishes. Thank you for serving great Chinese food in San Antonio. Revisited Fri 3/27/26 & picked up a to go order, their website only holds the credit card per online order but when u arrive to pick up that's when they do the final billing. Another delicious meal. read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 First time coming here (my bf has been here for lunch before) Our waiter was very nice and checked on us whenever she was taking care of other people. I go the Lo Mein combo, (chicken, beef & shrimp) I didn't care for the shrimp but overall really good. My Bf got the Orange chicken & both got a side of fried rice. Crab Rangoons came in 6 total but I started eating them before I took the pic lol The amount of food we get is pretty insane & Can't wait to come back again read more

Haven't been here in years but we had out of town guests so decided to try something new. It was okay but I don't think we'd go back. We had the dinner for 3 which was actually a good value but the food was mid. Beef and broccoli was okay but very watery in the sauce. The seasame chicken was good but it was mostly batter and the chicken was hard like it had been fried too long. Lemon chicken was overcooked and dry. The fried rice was good, not great but in comparison to the entrees it was the star. I can see why this place is popular. It's cheaper and the portions are huge but I'll stick with China Inn! read more

We have been going to ding how since my kids were little ... so the early 2000s. It's a flip of a coin when coming here. Sometimes you can go there and you get great service and leave you a pitcher of tea. Other times you can get lack there of service and your chicken might be pink inside. This time, it was good. The service could have been better. My daughter and I didn't even get a refill, which would have been nice. Yet my son got a refill. They brought the food out and asked us if we needed anything else, then pretty much disappeared until the bill came around. It was kinda busy, but it seemed like he was tending to others more than us. It's not the greatest Chinese food, but it's not the worst Chinese food. If you don't mind playing Russian rullet with if your chicken is cooked inside all the way or there's gonna pink, then sure you should go to this place. read more

Solid 4 stars. This is what I would call an old school Chinese restaurant. The decor is lovely and has been well kept up. The service was friendly and fast.

The sauces were a bit bland but overall the food was fine. read more

I had not been to this restaurant in many years. A lot of things have changed as far as the ambience the lighting just the experience in general. However the food remains very good quality. I ordered the lemon chicken. I've been ordering that since I would visit the restaurant back in the late 90s and I have to say they are very consistent. The chicken is still delicious. It's perfectly fried juicy and tender. With the lemon sauce on the side. I ordered the fried rice for charge. It was OK. Our service was great our waitress was attentive. She came to us immediately when we sat down and our food came out quickly. read more

This place has been here a long time. I thought it was good, but was very disappointed tonight. I ordered Beef and broccoli and could barely eat it it was so salty. I said something politely to the waiter and he immediately took it back and brought me another plate. It was less salty, but the sauce tasted old or something. What a shame, I was really looking forward to the meal. I guess it could just be a bad cook night or something. read more

Food was great! Huge huge portions. Orange chicken was not breaded so you can actually savor the sweet and spices . The Chicken Chop Suey as my favorite! Garlicky yumminess with lots of crunchy veggies. Hot and sour soup was a bit sour but still a good choice. We also got the side of soy noodles which was a great selection as well! Very flavorful for just soy and noodles. Waited and staff were very friendly and nice read more

Over in this area taking care of some business and realizing I hadn't eaten and it's lunchtime, and seeing the Ding How sign brought back memories of when I'd come for lunch back in the day. I waited for a parking space as always and had a five minute wait for one. Once I was seated I already knew what I wanted, lemon chicken, egg roll, and a tea. I like their lemon sauce and it's not too lemony. Before I could stir the sweetener in my tea she was bringing my food out. The chicken was hot but dry and I had to double dip in the lemon sauce. The egg roll was cold, but she brought me another one. Overall, I might do it again and I might not. read more

Ding How Chinese Restaurant - Lemon chicken - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband and I like to go to Ding How. It's not fancy. The food is pretty good and I know I'm not the only one that thinks so because this place is always busy. One of my favorite dishes is the lemon chicken. The chicken is so crispy, the lemon sauce is tasty, and it doesn't matter what kind of rice you choose, it's good. My husband usually has a different dish every time and he hasn't complained once. I promise to take more pictures next time, but you know how it is when you're hungry!! The regular dinner portions are big. They don't come with soup or an egg roll. Which makes me sad, but you can always add an appetizer. The last couple times we went, we had excellent service. The servers were friendly, helpful and there to make our dining experience a good one. Something else I just learned, you can go to their website and order online. read more

This place has been around forever. I remember coming here when In college. I won't say how long ago that was. It continues to be a very popular place to have Chinese food at. I had not been here for many years. It is still very good. We started with the pupu platter and egg drop soup. The pupu platter is perfect for sharing. It has shrimp today, crab Rangoon, bbq rib, teriyaki beef, eggs rolls and fried dumplings. I have to admin it I ate all the shrimp toast. It was yum. I ordered the walnut shrimp for my main meal. It reminded me of sweet and sour chicken. The sauce was very similar. The portion was large and came with white rice. The dish had pineapples and bell peppers. We went on a Thursday around 8pm and there was wait to get seated, but we only waited about 10minutes. Parking is available on site. read more

Every single time I go to Ding How, I get transported directly to Beijing! The restaurant is gorgeous with Chinese decor and architecture. It's spacious and can accommodate big parties and social gatherings. The food is freaking delicious. All of the Beef Spring Rolls & Egg Rolls are homemade and hand rolled. They have all your favorites like Sesame Chicken, Lemon Chicken, and Orange Chicken. They also have specialties like their epic Pineapple Chicken. The service is always on point and I appreciate that every time I go there, I leave happy. Highly recommend yelpers! read more

The setting was very pretty. I could tell it costed a pretty penny, I just wish they would spend that money on the food. I'm not going to lie - the food servings was HUGE, but not that good? Like I said before - I wish they spent some of the money from decorations on the food. The fried rice wasn't even fried? It was yellow which made no sense. & I also got egg drop soup which was I felt like a neon yellow color which did not sit right with me - and it also had mushrooms in it, which I didn't mind but it was odd. Last time I came here was 4 years ago - and I don't think I'll be coming back for another 4 years. - hopefully the food is better. read more
