    Pepper Steak
    Ermillo E.

    Hole in the wall but the food doesn't disappoint!! Looks family owned and operated. The service was fast and easy they helped me decide on what to eat since I couldn't decide The pepper steak was great the sauce was very tasty and thick! The only thing I could say it was that the vegetables were cut very big. My favorite part was the appetizers the pot stickers smacked!! I got half steamed and the other half fried super juicy and delicious The sauce was a perfect combo too. I definitely recommend this place 10/10

    This place has gone downhill badly I've been coming here for a very long time because I lived 8 minutes away now that I moved about 17 minutes away I thought I'd come pickup dinner last night worse decision ever my chicken was dark brown all breading barely any chicken my shrimp in my rice didn't look cooked all the way was very slimy rice needed more flavoring I added 3 packets off soy sauce just to give it a little flavor I'm so disappointed I loved this place so much I will not be coming back anymore customer service was good and welcoming but cooks have changed over the years and food also changed drastically!

    Double Dice. It's like the triple delete but No Chicken, just the beef and shrimp.

    This place was great! I was in an area of town I don't usually frequent and based on the reviews I stopped in for take out. Like some of the reviews stated it was a bit shady. But the service was super quick, the to-go plates were packed, the price was great, and the food was good! I would drive out of any way to eat there again!

    Food taste amazing and the portions are huge. Can easily share one plate between two people. The beef and mushrooms is my personal fav.

    It is not an impressive ambiance, so it's a generic depressive atmosphere. But the food is okay.

    Horrible. Do yourself a favor and do not go! I had to throw mine away, shrimp toast was greasy. Hardly any meat in my Mongolian beef.

The staff is super friendly and courteous :) ! We usually order the beef vermicelli soup, and a variety of dumplings :D ! They serve our food pretty promptly, with the soup still hot and tasty, and the dumplings steamy and savory :D ! My sister doesn't eat pork. So she typically orders dumplings that don't contain pork. I eat all kinds of meat. So I always order the pork and chive dumplings :D ! Whether you come in on a weekday or weekend, it always helps to come early if you can! If we want to go there for lunch, we try to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they first open. As it gets closer to 12 noon, it starts to get really busy, and it's harder and trickier for the staff to seat you. There is both booth and table seating. It's a great restaurant to catch up with friends, family or even colleagues over a good meal :) ! The parking lot out in front is a pretty decent size. But it can fill up pretty quickly when it gets busy! We also love ordering frozen dumplings to go :D ! For sure, we will definitely come back :D ! Kung Fu Noodle never disappoints :) !

    Impressed is the right word for my experience!…read more Price point for the combination meals are amazing and portions are generous! I got the beef noodle soup with pork and chive steamed dumplings combination that comes with tea or soda. With tax, this is all under $20. The soup was better than what I've had in San Antonio and noodles were not too doughy with lots of beef. Pork chive dumplings were delicious! Staff was friendlier than other places that are asian own:). Casual place to eat with friends for great bowl of noodles and dumplings! I would come back to try other items off their menu. They have skewers as well!

    Wah Kee remains my go to for comfort Chinese food. After having spent years faithfully going to the…read moresame Chinese restaurant because it was close to my house and not realizing that the food quality had gone down remarkably, we decided to try a different place and here we are. It's been about a year or so since we've been coming here fairly regularly and I really cannot complain about anything specific. Most meals are excellent with a I miss now and then, but overall, I would never complain about that. The price of their meals seem to be stuck in a world without crazy tyrant leaders, and inflation out the roof, though I don't know for how much longer that will remain. Wah Kee! Stay true to who you are and you'll always have happy people coming back to you!

    Everyone raves about Wah Kee in this part of town and, since it had been many years since we'd been…read morethere, we decided to give it a try for lunch in case things had gotten better during that break. We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

Walked in and waited for a few minutes before someone handed us menus and told us to sit wherever. Just handed us menus...in a kind of "just go sit down kinda way". Not real friendly. The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot. I felt my pot in particular, was over-loaded with huge chunks of veggies that could have been better chopped as to be more manageable. More chicken and beef in that chicken and beef pot, too, please ... The person waiting on us, if you could call it that, was not personable and could not have cared less about interacting. His drive by meal drop-offs were the epitome of antisocial. Probably won't return.

I have been to this restaurant several times which I did like. It rank higher than the other few places available in San Antonio.

It gives a positive sign about the restaurant itself The portions are huge! I ordered the whole chicken? Sichuan style. I asked if it is the whole chicken I don't know if language barrier lol she did the sign of no no with her hand. It is actually maybe equal to 2 chickens! Not complaining! I was very happy with it!
