Food arrived and it was prepared in such a way that it is a giant bowl of soup. Even with the extra rice. Not what I wanted nor was expecting. I ordered blackened pepper beef (or should I say soup) which tasted awful. My wife's beef and broccoli still looks like soup and she said hers tasted gross and this wasn't any kind of beef and broccoli that she ever had. The spring rolls were oily and soggy. STAY AWAY!!!! Will never order or eat from here again. read more

We recently visited this restaurant. They checked our temps before we entered. I had the spring rolls and sticky rice with mango. With Lemon Ginger Tea . The food and service was great!! read more

This is the hole in the wall place you WILL come back too. Yellow chicken curry is something to get if you LOVE curry .this is a go to spot for lunch or dinner. The portions are filling and sometimes enough to take home. read more

Yellow curry, spring rolls, pad Thai, pad woonsen are great!! I'd highly recommend dinner.

Guess it's under new mgmt. Food doesn't taste same and their COVID protocol is a bit much. Used to go regularly. Was fun while it lasted. Peace out. read more

Pleasantly surprised. The staff members were not Asian, but I was pleased to find out they knew what they were talking about and the food was not very Americanized. Our party ordered several dishes. Sine were great, some were alright, but overall a great dining experience. Enough seating, there were two rooms and a bar, so we could actually converse on a Saturday night. Tiger Cry: This might be unfair, but compared to Báan Esaan (Rest In Peace!), It was not the best. But it was really good. Papaya Salad: Again, nowhere near the greatness Báan Esaan was, but still very good. Had it with marinated bed, which was cooked differently than the Tiger Cry, take note. Seafood Hot & Sour Soup: Slightly spicy, but wonderfully flavored seafood soup. They added some noodles for us, making it perfect. There actually was a pretty portion of seafood in there. The pieces of shrimp, catfish, mussels, and squid sucked up that soup, making them succulent morsels of delish. Mushrooms accented nicely. Always good for soup flavor holding. Curry Fried Rice (Combination): I expected this to be part standard, but they added some unique Thai spices that made this exceptional! One might think fried rice is easy to do, but it is not. It might be easy to stir fry some mediocre fried rice, but great fried rice is very difficult. They got it right here! Pla Jian: Deep fried whole fish topped with minced pork, mushrooms, ginger, we chose the Whole Red Snapper. Some of us felt it was overcooked, but I personally thought it was great. After all, we all like our food cooked differently. It was extra crispy; dipped in the accompanying sauce was great. In fact, that sauce was delicious on its own with rice. The market price was almost $40, so a little high. We also had Thai Teas and Iced Teas. Thai Teas seemed possibly store bought. Will need to reassess next time. read more

- VEGAN OPTIONS UPON REQUEST - I've been coming to Asia Kitchen since I was a baby and recently I went vegan and I haven't been to Asain Kitchen since going vegan. The other day while near the restaurant I decided to see if the Tom Kha was vegan and sadly it isn't BUT the staff was so sweet there that they talked to the cook and actually veganized the Tom Kha with vegetable broth instead of the chicken broth. It was so amazing! but even better the service was amazing! The way I understand is to ask and I'm sure anything can be made vegan! super friendly and super amazing food, vegan or not! read more

Went here with high hopes after reading reviews but man was I deceived. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because my 6yr old kid liked the sweet tea he ordered and the 2 for $5 egg rolls were pretty good. Ordered the Mongolian beef with fried rice and the lemon chicken with steamed rice. Mongolian beef lacked flavor/seasoning and had zero spice/heat was also in a very thin juice not sauce same thinness as a soup. The lemon chicken was extremely overcooked and dried out also lacked flavor. The white rice was even overcooked. And lastly the service was poor. The waiter was friendly but left the food and didn't return till we were ready for the check. I was hoping to be able to at least ask for hot oil to improve the flavor. Two thumbs down. read more

Have been here several times however today I was sit directly across from the kitchen door. This is the table you never want, but what a shock their kitchen is spotless. So I took trip to the restroom and it was as clean as one in your home. What a pleasant surprise. Oh if Thorne is working you will be luck to get him. read more

Birthday lunch for my mom with family, and Asia Kitchen is still a "5-Star" star in my book. We celebrate a number of occasions here and are always at the front door at 11:00 on the dot to get our favorite round table that fits the seven of us just right. Our visit always start out with a dozen and a half spring rolls - fried crispy and piping hot when they hit the table. Pair these with the orange sauce at the table and we're talking something delightful. The sauce works great with the slices of cucumber too. Sweet goodness! We all have our specific menu items that we order. Mine is usually one of two dishes - chicken himmapan or the Gaeng Jued soup. This time though I went for the Pad Woonsen (glass noodles, stir fried with bean sprouts, green onions, egg, black mushrooms, broccoli and carrots, with chicken). Just the right amount of saltiness in the dish mixed with the incredible black mushrooms, and broccoli/carrots that still have a crunch to them, as well as chicken (which I love), made me say "I'm definitely going to have this again!". My family members all loved their dishes. My daughter was going out immediately after the get-together and I gratefully took her Pad Woonsen that she had ordered. I'm still a good dad, right? Ha! All you food lovers out there understand. Got to give a big compliment to our waiter, Joseph, who was very personable and made us feel very welcome. He even remembered some of the dishes my family and I normally order! That really blew us away and meant a lot to us. He must serve countless people in between the times me and my family come in and he has the memory to do that. He's perfect for the job. It was a great lunch, with great service, making us one happy family! read more

Our server, Thorn, did an amazing job, very quick and efficient service while also providing suggestions on menu items my husband and I had questions about. The pad thai was seriously delicious and so was the coconut shrimp with peanut sauce, some of the best peanut sauce we've had. The green curry was supposed to be 3 out of 10 and seemed hotter but still had a great flavor. Overall quality of food and price were definitely worth the trip. For great service ask for Thorn! read more

Their food is delicious. My husband called for yum tum. The lady corrects him and he laughs and blames it on me of course. He tells her no spice because she's pregnant. So, she tells him then we better give her a large. Good looking out Asia kitchen. read more

This is one of my favorite places for lunch near my office. It used to be my fail-safe place for a quick lunch, as long as you ordered from their lunch menu. Since it's become more popular, it seems that their super quickness is a little more hit-or-miss, but it's still delicious food. Before I fell in love with the shrimp pad woon sen, I used to eat the sweet and sour pork. It was good and pretty standard, and filling. The lunch specials also come with a glass of iced tea and a spring roll, so it turns out to be a pretty good deal. I am absolutely in love with their shrimp pad woon sen. A heaping plate of shrimp, broccoli, mushrooms, sprouts, and glass noodles (glass noodles are made from beans instead of wheat, so you're not laden with pasta-sleepiness after you inadvertently eat the whole thing). Along with that comes the Thai condiment tray, and I take great delight in piling on crushed peanuts and chili sauce all over my meal. It's a great day when I get to go to Asia Kitchen. read more

"Have you had Thai hot here?" A simple question that could have saved me a bunch of pain. I sit here at my keyboard, thoughtfully penning my review as I munch on my Som Tam, and lamenting the errors of my conversation with the order taker. "Yes, I'm familiar with the cooking style. Please prepare it Thai hot." What I think I she heard me say was: "Did you hear me b**ch? I said make my innards burn!" Also next to me, my keyboard, and my som tam is a towel. That towel will now have to be washed as it is now DRIPPING WITH MY SWEAT. I am afraid to go to the restroom for fear I've touched one of those peppers and will self inflict burning known by few people outside of Tommy Lee. All jokes aside, though, folks... this is good frickin' Thai food. The person who took my order was friendly and helpful (and even warned me about what I was getting into). My pad woonsen, no spice, veggies, add steamed tofu was a delight and the to go package was stuffed to the brim. The som tam (paypaya salad for the uninitiated) was hotter than the sweet devil's flames but sported a perfect consistency and delicious flavor. These folks really know how to do Thai food, and I will happily drive 20 minutes from downtown to dine here. read more

Asia Kitchen - Next to Big Lots - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Used to eat at this joint when I used to lived in this area when I first moved to San Antonio and didn't know any better---any better where to live. Off of Marbach & 410, Asia Kitchen is always packed. Is it because of the reasonable lunch specials or because of the good cuisine? I don't know? Got the pad woon sen which is the glass noodles with shrimp. Chef thought it was funny to put broccoli in my dish. I have never seen broccoli in this dish before today. I loathe broccoli. So it was edible but the serving portion was petite for being the lunch special. I'm still hungry. I'm a big boy after all. read more

Asia Kitchen - Pad Woon Sen - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Recently went back to Asia kitchen. I moved farther away so had not visited in a while. Was not at all happy with service. I had the beef glass noodle soup which wAs blah. The house fried rice is still the bomb. Don't think I'll ever go back to dine in. Might try take out next time. read more

Disclaimer: My review is based on my experiences from a few years back. But if the food and service still stand now as it did then, you're in for a treat. The owners' son would help out in the market section to help. The food was good - especially the spring rolls. Waiting was never an issue and parking was plenty. I loved the decor (which I'm sure has been updated since I've last dined) but the environment lent itself to be somewhat intimate. read more

Must try the Tom Yum!!! We've tried it at other places and this can't be beat!! Great friendly staff. Great prices!

I've had catering from Asia Kitchen countless times and for the most part, they've had a good consistency. Prices are quite competitive, below the average. Pad Thai Noodles with Chicken - slightly greasy, comes with peanuts. good! Beef with Broccoli - not a fan of this dish at a thai restaurant, but not too bad Yellow Curry with Potatoes and Chicken - about average, not very spicy read more

I love, love, love this place. Used to live in the apartments behind it and any day I was off during the week, I would stare at the clock until it hit 11:00 am so I could call in my to-go order. I know I wasn't the only one because it would always take a few times to get through. My favorite dish is the Yakisoba and yes, I'm aware it isn't necessarily "Thai" but who friggin cares because it's delicious. I usually got it medium spicy which has just enough kick. I'm also a huge fan of their spring rolls. So much so, it was the only food at my bachelorette party. At least the only one I remember.. Anyway, the servers are also really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu if you have any questions or want to make any substitutions. The prices have crept up slightly. My husband and I used to be able to dine for under $20 but now it's slightly over. Money well spent though, we've never left with a complaint or an empty stomach. read more

The Happy House appetizer outshined the main course. Overall we had a great experience. Definitely will come back to try a different dish. The spring rolls are extremely addicting! read more

I ordered the gluten-free chicken fried rice with vegetables. It was EASILY the best fried rice I have EVER had. The veggies are fresh. The chicken chunks were big enough to dunk in hot mustard or sweet chili sauce. And the flavor is outstanding!!! This is not your typical, junky, afterthought fried rice. I ordered this twice in one weekend and both times my rice came out marked "celiac". Delicious! I look forward to visiting San Antonio again just for this dish! read more

This place used to be one of my favorite go to spots and usually easy for a pick up lunch order. I decided to pick up the order of chicken pad Thai for lunch. I guess I should've asked for extra chicken... the only meat on my plate was the size of a quarter. read more

We have been coming to Asia Kitchen for years....never disappointed! The food is always amazing and the servings are huge! Prices are good too. Tom Yum veggie soup is my favorite....as well as Green Curry/Tofu - soooooo good! My husband loves the all beef entrees. Appetizers - beef jerky and spring rolls are the BEST! Highly recommended! Keep up the amazing job! read more

My first visit and it was fantastic!!! Service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! Each dish ordered arrived hot and exactly as ordered. I will definitely be returning to Asia Kitchen! What I really appreciated was a detailed menu to know exactly what I was ordering. And portions of the entrees were huge! read more

Very disappointing. Egg rolls burnt. The vegetables w/chicken had no taste. Spring rolls had almost no vegetables. Pepper flakes on everything. Hard for kids to eat. Chicken was also very dry. Will not be returning. read more

Wow! This used to be our mainstay back in the day, but unfortunately, this will be our last visit after many years prior of satisfaction. The cuisine has gone were many Asian kitchens have gone; to commercialism over authenticity and quality ingredients. Yes, you get a plate full of food and a parking lot full of cars, but I think they keep coming out of loyalty and not necessarily that the food is great or excellent, but good enough! Well not for us we're out! Bring the real Thai and satisfaction will follow. read more

I love this place. It's small and not very fancy. At first sight you'd write it off as a bit questionable but it's not. You get great food at a great price. The staff is nice and they constantly fill your drink. The atmosphere could be better with some new updated furniture. However, the food is why I go and it's absolutely delicious. read more

I've eaten here more than a dozen times. I usually leave satisfied but this time I was a little disappointed. I took my daughter for lunch because she wanted Pad Thai. Sadly if you order that on the lunch menu they cannot make the dish without peanuts. My daughter has a peanut allergy and this was shocking as peanuts are a common allergy. Needless to say we'll never return for lunch. As far as my dish I got the ginger chicken and Thai chicken salad combo lunch special. Both entrees were very bland. The ginger chicken tasted more like a Chinese dish with the thick sauce and the salad like an American one with added vinegar and fish sauce. The egg rolls were soggy because they were sitting in the sauce from the entrees. Now, the rice was a complete disappointment. If you're going to serve Asian cuisine you can't serve cheap white rice, it has to be Jasmine rice lol. read more

Asia Kitchen - Combo lunch special - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I went today for lunch. The destination was only 4 min away from where I work. I got there fast. I placed an order for a lunch special and a small appetizer with only water as my beverage . It took almost 30 min to be served. When I got my plate it was a small oval platter with heaps of food slopped on it. Such a disappointment to see my lunch was prepared. I was even more disappointed to discover the food was VERY bland. So dissatisfied and disappointed. Having only 15 min. Left of my lunch hour. I didn't bother to wait for the bill. It certainly wasn't worth taking home in a doggie bag. When I got to the register my lunch was almost $20. NEVER again!Over priced, with poor dining experience! read more

Omg I love this place.. this was the first place I've been to for Thai food... their lunch specials are great and cheap.. Fast and very good costumer Service.. I recommend getting their phad thai and sesame chicken is really good.. when your in a mood for soup.. their Tom kai and po taek seafood is good.. They have a lot of seating area and very casual.. you can call ahead of time to reserve big occasion dinner.. I've never had a bad experience here and the food taste is very consistent.. read more

HOT DAMN this place was good! I am STUFFED. A coworker wanted to come today and at first I was just going to run home instead. But they twisted my arm and I came, and I am SO glad I did! The cream cheese rolls are pretty much fried crack. If you have nothing else here, buy yourself a full order of those and you can feel guilty-but-not later. The curry samosas weren't the best but still decent. Then the entree was a medium-hot Panang curry, with a side of white rice. I can tell you right now the spice cleared up my sinuses and I will probably pay for this meal tonight, but the flavor was so effin' good. It had a rich flavor too it but wasn't completely overbearing. And the quantity of it... Well... I'm a big guy and can eat like a damn famished lion, but I'm taking home leftovers. So much food. The final bill for my curry was about $10, which seemed to be different from what was listed on the lunch special menu, but I'm not complaining because it was good. (My coworker paid for the appetizers.) So if you need a good lunch spot on the far west side, I would hit this one up. But you need to get there when they open at 11 AM or you'll find yourself waiting for a table. By the time we left there at about 11:45, the seats were almost all taken. read more

Very nice people, but unfortunately I got gluten ordering from the gf menu. They say they are celiac friendly, it they are not.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My family and I USED to love coming to eat here whenever we had a chance. Service now is horrible. They are all rude and do not care because they are all related to the owners. It's no wonder they need help staying open (as per the sign outside their establishment) Their crappy attitudes have caused them to lose customers and I'm sure employees. Will make sure the rest of my family and our friends know not to give them anymore business read more

Giving this place one star is being generous, I would give them none if that was possible. They only have half the restaurant open and their workers are incredibly rude. This used to be my favorite place, but I would not come back after the horrible service my family & I received. Save yourself the trip and money and DONT COME HERE. The rude service is not worth the food, you can get better asian cuisine with better service at lots of other places. read more

A friend of my uncles took us out here to try it and I have to say it was awesome. You do have to be careful on the spices because some of them can put you on fire. Loved it. read more

My friend and I love to go here for lunch. They do have a lunch special but I normally order something else. I love the House Delight as an appetizer. It's very filling and never disappoints. I don't like the gyoza so substitute it for more shrimp tempura. If you like cheese definitely get the cheese rolls. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. The tables are kind of close together but it doesn't bother me that much. The service is also very fast and accurate. read more

Ordered takeout today and appetizers were good, but the pad Thai was NOT. Looked like someone poured water in the bottom and did not have a real pad Thai flavor to it. Also seems like they used fettuccine noodles. Super disappointed with the pad Thai since the reviews about it were all good. read more
