    First time eating here and my last! The place looked dirty and questionable. The employees didn't even acknowledge my presence while waiting to get my order. I asked for ALL WHITE MEAT so they charged me extra. I didn't mind paying extra but once I received my entree majority of it was all dark meat. I informed them of the issue and they said they would not get that wrong. I no even offered to show them and they still didn't believe me. Food was gross, employees rude and can't get orders right and place wasn't clean.

    A hidden gem! I've wanted to try this place for a while but yesterday was the day. This restaurant is open on a Sunday! I got the kung pao beef in the deluxe order that included fried rice, the choice of crab Rangoon or egg roll, and egg drop soup or hot and sour soup with a beverage! Amazing deal for right around $15

    T6. Jalapeno Combo Deluxe Dinner
    Megan J.

    It had been a while since we ate here but we wanted some Chinese we knew we liked instead of trying somewhere new. We got delivery. The food was hot when it got here. I usually order the Kung Pao Chicken (which is delicious) but decided to try the Jalapeno Chicken tonight. I got the deluxe combo that comes with egg roll, rice, soup, and a drink. I upgraded the veggie fried rice. The rice was great, tons of veggies and the perfect amount of egg. The Jalapeno Chicken was good but not very spicy. The Hot and Sour soup was ok but not great. It was pretty sweet which I'm not a fan of. I'll try egg drop next time. The egg roll was good but nothing special. My husband got the General Tso's which he loves. If you're in the mood for good, classic Chinese food you can't go wrong here.

    The outside

    The food and prices are excellent. All the standard items you like. The service is excellent. The inside is definitely the most Chinese in San Antonio. It's very nice. The outside has fish in tanks very peaceful. Some Chinese music would take it over the top because the interior is so authentic.

    Chicken and Broccoli

    Now I have had my fair share of bad Chinese food in both Texas and San Antonio, but the level of badness reached a new low with Beijing Restaurant at 13730 Embassy Row. I give you the address because I want there to be no mistakes about where this place is, and if you go, it is your fault. I ordered the Sesame Chicken Deluxe and the Chicken and Broccoli. What I got was an MSG overloaded dish. The first thing I taste is the chemicals used to preserve the meat. And don't get me started on the texture. My wife and I couldn't get past one bite of each dish as both also left horrible aftertastes in our mouths. The only redeeming thing about the meal was the two fortune cookies and egg rolls. But $22.19 is a lot for two egg rolls and two fortune cookies. Do yourself a favor; just go to Panda Express instead.

    Picnic tables and lanterns.

    We are waiting to go to a movie at Santikos Embassy 14 and spotted this Chinese restaurant almost in their parking lot. A nice atmosphere with Carlos providing friendly and attentive service. Food came out quickly and it was really good! They have a nice outdoor patio area as well.

    Order sitting in the window for 10 minutes with no one to help.

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

    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.

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.

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!

    My daughter and I cannot recommend this restaurant. It was better 15 years ago…read more It is too westernize now; meaning the food is more cater/made for western taste. When you walk in up to the restaurant, the view of ponds with large koi fish was very welcoming, however as soon as you open the door/walk in...it's a chaos of sports on tv and western music that will burst your burst your tranquility from the front of the restaurant. The restaurant was busy since it was lunch. We were seated right away. However it took the waitress a few before knowledge our small table. The waitress was in a hurry and look like she already had a bad day. She asked quickly what we would like the drink and we said water and hot tea but ask what type of tea they have? She mumble something I could not understand. So my daughter ask for green tea. We started off with appetizer as usual. Shrimp toast, chicken wrap, Asian bbq ribs then a cup of hot & sour soup. Main dish were Moo Shu Pork and Mongolian beef. Soup came out first...it was lukewarm. Cup was hot but soup was lukewarm. It was vinegary and salty. This is the first time I had seen/tasted imitation crab meat in a hot and sour soup. I'd flag the waitress down to let her know the soup was cold and if she can bring me another or warm it up for me. She gave me an annoying look and took the soup back to the kitchen. The Asian bbq ribs come out then the shrimp toast a few minutes later. The shrimp toast looks appealing. The shrimp were whole shrimp on top of bread, fried bread. It was ok...no real taste and a bit greasy. There were too much honey and chewy/tough for the Asian ribs. My soup comes back hot to touch... which means it was microwave...but not an issues; what was is ...it was still lukewarm soup. I try to finish it but couldn't. Soup needs to be hot; especially hot & sour soup. The chicken lettuce wrap was delivered. It was again salty; no real taste, except for the salt. A lot of mushrooms over powering the this dish. Keep in mind we had a small table and dishes are pilling up. It took a few before anyone came to pickup the plates. Half way through our appetizer, the waitress dropped off Togo boxes with a bag right after the chicken wrap was dropped off.... Staying it's for later. So we went ahead and packup the appetizers into the Togo boxes to make room. The main dishes came out about 10 minutes later. My daughter was very surprised by her Mongolian beef. It looks more like pepper steak then Mongolian beef. Most Mongolian beef are cook with green onions, yellow onion, garlic, sesame seeds and large slices of beef...some with a little sauce other dry so this is a the first for us to see a Mongolian beef looks like that. It was again too salty. There was more bell pepper than beef. The beef was slice small. The moo shu pork come out already wrap?? Which confuse me. Most of the time the thin rice pancake is on the side and moo shu pork is a little sweet and savory that comes with plum sauce so you can spread as little or lot of plum sauce into the rice pancake then top it off with moo shu pork. Since it was all roll up...it was very messy trying to pull it open to put the plum sauce. The dish lack favors...it had a char like taste. Usually moo shu pork is very flavorful and fill with flavorful juice from the ingredients like cabbages, bamboo, onion, mushrooms and eggs. There was no favor except a char taste. I have eaten here before a long time ago and it's definitely not the same taste/food and experience. We pack the food home so we can get a second opinion from other family members and the results were the same. I would never recommend for anyone looking for Asian cuisine. But if you like America/Asian cuisine/atmosphere then this is a place for you.
