    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!

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

    For lunch today, I thought to try Wahkee Chinese Cuisine. I ordered through GrubHub and picked up…read moreour order. Their lunch specials were good value and great quality. Each of the lunch specials come with crab rangoon, egg roll and soup (I chose egg drop soup). We had the Shrimp and Vegetables, Sesame Chicken, and Triple Delight. For the most part, all the food was good. The chicken was slightly dry. I still recommend trying their lunch specials.

    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.

    A co-worker and I discussed the seeming difficulty finding good Chinese food in San Antonio. He and…read moreanother co-worker recommended I try Tiger's. Unfortunately, my search continues. 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. The service is always good and from observing I see a lot of Chinese families visiting and chit chatting with who seems to be the owner. I do like that a lot! 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! I will keep on returning to try more things on the menu

It was the in between time of late lunch 2:30-3pm so we thought we would miss the Sunday afternoon church rush. The parking lot and restaurant was full but didn't let it scare us. Only had to wait 5 mins. Don't let the full restaurant fool you. The wait staff checks in often and moves tables very fast. Pro tip- you can hang outside and check out the koi fish in the pond to kill some time Sat down and drinks came out fast ordered dim sum which came out in the cute steam baskets first. Shrimp Shumai and pork bao buns were so good. My kids asked for seconds We also ordered the sweet and sour chicken, spicy eggplant/tofu, shrimp& broccoli and the combination fried rice. Everything was perfectly seasoned with the exception of the sweet and sour chicken. It was very bland. Next time I want to order the orange peel chicken instead. Looked good and now we know! So much food we'll have leftovers for a few days. Score!

I came in a Monday and wanted the moo goo gai pan but also wanted the lemon chicken. So I had both. It was a lot of food. I liked the lemon chicken best. Comes with fried rice and a crispy egg roll, soup and a drink. They do charge an extra $1.50 if change the soup. Get here early, they get very busy. Food comes out pretty quickly. Restrooms were smelly and didn't look clean. Kid friendly and staff were very nice. Plenty of parking.
