    General chicken
    Danna B.

    Siu is our favorite - whether it's the Korean bbq side or the express. We always order the general chicken lunch combo with hot and sour soup! Other items we have ordered and loved are the popcorn chicken, fried calamari, garlic noodles, beef broccoli and spicy pork belly. So good and can't beat the price! We have tried the drinks here and honestly, it's not our favorite. I've tried the oolong milk tea and Thai iced tea, both are just ok. Today, I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee and maybe we just had a bad batch or something because it was far from a Vietnamese iced coffee. I was expecting a strong coffee taste, but it just tasted like milk. Just by looking at the drink, you can tell it was mostly milk. Not gonna take off a star though, because I'm hoping we just got a bad batch.

    Excellent service, the staff is super fast and accommodating, the atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly and then there was the food; so much good food. The price is worth the service alone; what a great find. We will definitely be back.

    Came here for a milk tea and a sea salt caramel ice mocha with boba. Did not like the milk tea as the tea has a weird Earl Grey like flavor. The sea salt caramel was pretty sweet and lacking that salty foam goodness. We wouldn't come back for boba drinks here. Service was good and the place is really nice. On the flip side the Chinese food menu looks good and we would like to come back and try some of those items. This review for BUBBLE TEA only

    5 season wings, nice crispy and delicious
    Cristina L.

    Best Chinese food I have had in a while. We were on a family road trip from California and are foodies at heart so we gave this place a chance and were not disappointed at all! It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but looks can be deceiving, the inside was not what we expect, very nice and clean establishment. Employees were so helpful and polite. We ordered the 5 season wings to start (then a second order to finish. That's how great they tasted). For a family of 4 we ordered combo chow mien, combo fried rice and beef with broccoli. Everything tasted amazing and fresh. We could not leave without trying out their boba teas and of course again we were not disappointed. When ever we are in town again, this will be a must go to for us again.

    Coconut milk tea
    Sydnye H.

    This review is for the boba drinks only, but I can't wait to try the food! I've had a few different drinks and they are always pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but they have a good flavor and plenty of customizable options. I found the milk tea to be a little watery for my liking, but the boba is perfectly cooked! I had the coconut milk tea this last time. Great flavor, not too sweet! I think I would like it in blended form better so I'll try that next time! Customer service is always great and they are pretty quick. Like I said, I can't wait to try the food. The menu looks great!

    Generals Chicken no brocolli

    The best Chinese food in town. My favorites are the lunch specials Mongolian Beef and Generals Chicken. They give big servings and quality and taste are the best in town. So cheap too. Try their milk teas they are good too. Food is always fresh. Loved their chow mein, Generals Shrimp and Orange Beef too!

    Chicken w/ broccoli and Hawaiian steak
    Shadia A.

    Chinese isn't my favorite cuisine but Siu's food has me second guessing my choices. They definitely have some of the best Chinese food in town. It's always fresh and tasty. The portions are big and at a reasonable price. They also have lunch and dinner specials that come with rice and soup. It's a lot of food to say the least. I always get the chicken and broccoli with hot and sour soup. They also have a lot of appetizers; my favorites are the crab rangoons, sweet potato fries, and popcorn chicken. One of the main reasons I find myself coming here is for the boba! I've tried a lot of boba places and Siu beats out most of them. Their drink menu is simple and consistent. You won't get overwhelmed by a million different drinks like at some other boba places. Less is always more. My go to drinks are the Thai tea and Vietnamese iced coffee. The sea salt cream is a game changer and a must try! You can customize how sweet you want your drink as well. It can be 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. I don't have a big sweet tooth so I always go with 25% and it's perfect. They also do take out so if you call ahead they'll have it ready for you by the time you arrive. The workers are very friendly and welcoming. The service is fast and always high quality. The Asian express is connected with their kbbq restaurant so make sure to check that out too!

    Mongolian Beef with Veggies
    Beatrice A.

    New or a local? This will be your go-to-take out ...thank me later! Being new to Reno and coming from Texas full of great food. It was a must to find my go to Asian take out spot! After trying a few, I always found myself going back to Sui. The food is always consistent, my favorite is their beef fried rice. Their beef is always nice and soft and full of flavor! The best part to top of things is their boba bar, (highly recommend Iced Caramel Salted Latte w/boba) is not to disappoint.

    Jasmine milk tea with boba, 1/2 sweet. PERFECT
    Stefanie Q.

    Love this spot! I don't come too often, but if I'm in the mood for some comfort food in the way of general's chicken and a boba drink, this place hits the spot. Lunch special prices are the way to go, and the portions are super generous. The broccoli beef is a fav, and I love their chow mein. The employees are always friendly, and the ambience in the dine-in is casual yet modern and makes for a great lunch or dinner date.

    New favorite bubble tea place. The boba is nice and soft. Thai tea flavor was not overly sweet.

It's great that their milk base is already non-dairy and that you can adjust your sweetness level. There's lots of tea options and topping options. The staff was friendly and did a stellar job with making my boba drink. I ordered original boba milk tea at 20% sweetness - it was perfect. Not too sweet and the boba consistency was just right! One of the best bobas in town. I also ordered the vanilla egg waffle and it was nice and crispy in the outside. They have board games and cute decor inside - fun place to chill and meet up with friends. Looking forward to coming back to try other boba flavors.

I got the crème brûlée milk tea and my friend got the classic milk tea with boba. I very disappointed. There was barely any ice and the bottom half of the drink was thick and warm. It is the worst drink I have ever had. I am not sure how she made it, but it tasted like warm eggnog. Nothing in it tasted like milk tea. My friend said hers was not very good either. This classic regular milk tea should be the simplest to make, but she was very disappointed as well. The boba was also not good. Honestly, I don't think the person who made my drink knew how to make it. She was the only person running the place. I would not come back after this experience.

As someone who occasionally likes to eat alone, I really appreciate that. I've visited several times over the years, including recently under the newer ownership. Unfortunately, some of my old favorites aren't quite the same. I used to love their deep-fried oysters, which are no longer on the menu and have been replaced with deep-fried mussels. The kimchi stew recipe also seems to have changed and wasn't as memorable as before. That said, they still serve my favorite gopchang (beef small intestine). When cooked properly, it gets wonderfully crispy and reminds me of Mexican tripas tacos--definitely worth ordering. I'd personally skip the bibimbap appetizer. The rice was hard, the ground beef was cold, and it felt like it relied too heavily on the gochujang sauce for flavor. Even with those changes, I'll continue supporting this business. Service was also attentive.

We went on a Thursday night, and the restaurant was probably about 45% full, so it was busy but not overwhelming. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly worker. I let her know I was meeting friends, and she allowed me to go find them and take a seat. The restaurant itself was nice, clean, and had a comfortable atmosphere. Our server was also very nice and brought us menus while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive. Once everyone got there, we started with a few appetizers. We ordered the fried dumplings, popcorn chicken, and I got the kimchi soup. The soup was delicious, and the dumplings and popcorn chicken were both really good too. Honestly, I could have ordered multiple rounds of those alone, but we were there for Korean BBQ and did not want to fill up too much on starters. For our first round of meats, we ordered beef belly, bulgogi, spicy chicken, and garlic pork belly. The food came out quickly, and it arrived on a robot, which was pretty cool. All of the meats were great, but the garlic pork belly and bulgogi were definitely the standouts. For our next round, we ordered those two again along with Hawaiian steak and chicken galbi. Once again, everything was tasty. We finished our final round with more beef belly, New York steak, and miso pork belly. By the end of the meal, we were completely stuffed. To my surprise, our server noticed that one of my friends had brought me a birthday gift bag, and the staff came over and sang happy birthday to me. That was a really nice touch and made the night feel even more special. Overall, this was a good experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the birthday surprise was appreciated. I would definitely come back.
