I used to love this restaurant. The food was always fresh and the prices were reasonable. I ordered chicken lo mein w steamed rice and crab rangoons. The chicken, noodles, and rice were old. The rice was crunchy. The chicken was inedible and the noodles tasted like they had been under lights for days. The crab rangoons were the only fresh item. This place has really gone downhill and should probably close up. read more

First time ever I left Chinese food on the table and walked away. Could be the current situation with Covid and all but food had no flavor. Egg rolls were horrendous. It seemed food was prepared in haste and no time to marinate. Food did not seem fresh. I'm sure they have had better days because it could not get any worse. Good luck to you. read more

Not sure how this place is still open. Very dirty inside and out. Used to good about 20 yrs ago. Now just keep driving.

Roaches roaches cockroach! Would give 0. Dirty place!!! While waiting inside for our food to go,we saw something,They have huge ROACHES !!! If you happed to be inside, please look around! And one of my group had a small roach in her drink. Food was really bad. My husband said everything taste like medicine. And I'm agree with it. Couldn't even eat after a couple of bites. read more

It's my fave but thats one fat guys opinion. Here is the deal, every different plate I have tried has been spectacular. Yes, spectacular without fail. They are consistant you know what your going to get when you order they are friendly and cordial. What else do you want? This is ny far my goto and it should be yours. So go...stop reading my babble and hit up those rangoons and egg drop soup. Hurry..go...before this chubby guy gets there first!! read more

This place is actually "All right", clean, tranquil (nice Chinese ambient music )and the service is efficient. The food may not be the best but definitely falls in to the decent side. Prices are just right, full dinner (small soup,main plate, egg roll and drink ) just around 10 bucks. .... Will come back soon ;) Btw, they have "drive thru" service! read more

1st time visiting today. Drive thru order for lunch. Picked up the Lemon Chicken/sweet & sour pork combo. It was good not great. The fried rice was ok and so was the egg roll. I'll try again and order something different to give it a chance but it's certainly not a top contender. Phoenix Chinese on West Ave. is a better value for the dollar. It tastes better too. read more

Beijing Express Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I tried the lemon chicken which tasted just okay, beef and broccoli which were edible but wouldn't order again and the egg rolls and springs roll were the worst, crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside with a weird taste. I've heard that the lomein is good but haven't tried it. Not sure if I'd go back. read more

This place has been going down hill for a while. Tonight they hit the bottom. The spring rolls and my daughter's lemon chicken were burnt to barley recognizable. I called to express my concerns and was offered 10% off my next trip. Thanks but 10 % off never won't help. Today is my last visit there ever. One star is too generous. read more

Shrimp Fried Rice is so yummy!! Omg! Love it! Love it! Cream Cheese Puffs are delicious as well. No regrets!!

My husband and I made our way over here for the first time and we'll definitely be returning. I went through the drive and chose their lemon chicken deluxe dinner. It includes the entree, rice, soup, egg roll or rangoon, and a drink. Everything was hot and delicious. The only disappointment was the hot and sour soup. While the flavors were there, it wasn't spicy at all. It was a little more on the sweet side and didn't leave a friendly taste on the pallet. My husband enjoyed the lemon chicken and loved his egg drop soup. I do however have to give some high praise to the young lady at the drive through named Kiki. Since this was our first time, she explained every thing and all questions we had on the menu and even thanked us and welcomed us back. You don't get many cherry and sweet people at the drive through, so she definitely made our day. read more

Beijing Express Restaurant - Deluxe lemon chicken meal. - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Sucks when you can see the lack of pride or care from the kitchen. On top of that, food didn't even taste great

First time eating here and the food was ok. My husbands food was steaming hot and mine was just warm. Music was a bit too loud and everything is served on styrofoam and plastic utensils. Granted they do tell you this before you order. Just do not realize how hard it is to eat with cheap plastic forks. The staff was nice enough but no real customer service. Worst thing is that my blood pressure goes thru the roof if restaurants cook with too much sodium or msg and now I have a huge headache. read more

WORST MANAGER EVER. After getting home from picking up a order in the drive thru, the extra side of lemon sauce wasn't closed correctly and spilt all over the bag of food. When I called to speak to the manager (bald guy with glasses) he argued and demanded to bring back the food because quote "a lot of people call and complain to get free food" while going back and forth with the girl who handed the food in the drive thru saying she closed the lid right it was my fault getting frustrated from working all day and now dealing with this I took him the food to show him I wasn't lying, after they remade the food I asked to speak to him privately over the matter he's response was "I'm right here" (while being on the opposite side of the counter in front of the other three employees and customers waiting for their orders) I proceeded to tell him I didn't appreciate the way he handled the situation and he's rude response was "there was nothing wrong with the food the sauce was just split on the side" sorry for not wanting to eat my dinner covered in lemon sauce especially when you paid for it... needless to say very disappointed not even a apology and I've been going there for years. That guy was very rude and unprofessional when me and my daughter were leaving he has the audacity to say sarcastically goodbye have a nice day. No need for that especially if you're "management" read more

Iove coming here for a quick and cheap lunch! The food is good, staff is friendly, and they have a gift shop with some cute things! Executives from the office like coming here too. They have a back patio with a small fountain. Nice to sit out there on a sunny day! read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. The deluxe dinner comes with soup, fried rice, egg roll or rangoons, and a beverage for the family-friendly price of $9.60. Won't you take a trip to the Orient with me? read more

Terrible service ordered a very simple meal of chicken and black bean with fried rice ended up getting white rice and chicken and brown sauce I love this place and this is just a severe disappointment read more

Delicious food and the service is always great. I'd recommend eating inside because the waitress is so friendly!

The few times I've gotten the food, it's been take out, it has a good flavor but it either stale or old food mixed in with some new food. The new food tastes just great but it's off putting tasting something that seems to have been old. read more

Ordered the sesame chicken dinner and tasted like I was biting into friend chicken skins covered with sesame seeds and their sauce. I don't feel like I had even bitten into any chicken through out the whole plate. Very disappointed... read more

Had the jalepeno chicken xtra spicy it was awesome. Ive always been satisfied with the food here.

Do not recommend going here at all. i've given this restaurant several chances and every time it is never decent. I've decided I'm never going back because the food is always gross. The rice sometimes undercooked, and I've received my plates cold everything seems to be reheated and very oily and greasy not fresh at all. 0 stars. read more

Go to delivery. Easy and quick. The inside is a bit questionable though - would just do delivery.

From the soup, to the sweet tea, to the food, to the ambience, this place is a rare find for me. I went to this place on a whim after a quick search on yelp. This place is fantastic. Not sure why there are so many places with the same name in town, but this is the one on Embassy Row (near bitters, across the parking lot from the China Sea buffet). The interior is a very welcoming, neat, and clean affair, lots of wood, appropriate wall decor, with interesting touches; they even have a small area to peddle their unique Asian toys/ trinkets. We were seated promptly and attended to immediately. The sweat tea is fantastic, it has a unique (good) flavor. The wonton and hot & sour soup were very tasty. I ordered the sesame chicken and my wife had a shrimp dish (didn't pay attention, as I don't particularly like shrimp mixed with things). The service was very courteous and attentive, in fact, my delicious glass of tea never got close to being empty. Can't wait to go back an try the more traditional Chinese dishes. Good: + nothing but good food so far + very nice ambience + great service + sweet tea!!!!! \(^_^)/ Not so good: - i'm pissed I JUST found about this place (don't let the drive-thru fool you) - It's located next to one of those horrible buffets...people are potentially passing the quality of this place up for "quantity over quality" buffet. *** Be sure you go to the right location (Embassy Row, near Bitters Rd), this is a apparently a common name for Chinese eateries in this town. *** read more

The atmosphere was good and the food quite tasty but seriously - charging me an extra $1 each for adding onion and bell pepper to my sweet and sour chicken? Good thing there are a lot more Chinese restaurants that don't charge extra for what should be part of the fare. If you had notified me upfront I wouldn't be so bothered by it, but to wait until I see it on my bill. No thanks on the return trip. Too many other choices out there. read more

Beijing Express Restaurant - Yeah - gotta get that extra buck! - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

After trying another restaurant of the same name on the other side of town that was horrible, I was a bit reluctant to try this one. Laziness + extreme hunger + wait this place has a drive thru?! = I will give it a try. The drive thru was very fast, and they offer all of the lunch and dinner options, soups, and appetizers on the menu. The kung pao chicken was filled with veggies: mushrooms, bell pepper, etc, along with plenty of cashews. The lemon chicken was portioned enough to easily feed two people or have leftovers and was breaded nicely. I look forward to trying the other dishes and soups and this will definitely be on my list for fast, tasty chinese food. read more

I think i found the best lemon chicken in my work hood and I can't stop craving it. I am very picky when it comes to lemon chicken and the lemon sauce. When you order the lemon chicken from here you won't have worry about it being over fried or being stuck with a "jelly like" sauce. The icing on the cake is the egg drop soup! The egg rolls are good, nothing amazing. I wish i could skip on it but who eats Chinese with out an egg roll???!!! The reasons for only giving it 3 stars... 1. On one of my visits I was in a cheating mood and was punished with the worst meal. My attempt to send it back was not welcomed by our waitress and I was so annoyed I didn't go back for awhile. 2. My dining partners have never really been excited with any other their choices 3. They can NEVER seem to remember my extra sauce request and it drives me crazy. read more

WATCH OUT FOR THIS PLACE! I ordered through the drive-Thur. After I signed my final receipt at window, I looked up my transactions once home and noticed I was charged an extra $3 for a tip that I did not sign for. read more

Not terrible. My husband and I visited this afternoon after I was craving some good ole comfort food. We were warmly welcomed by both the hostess and the waiter and our orders were taken promptly. Almost too soon was our crab rangoon app brought over to our table. I couldn't believe how quickly it was cooked! Too good to be true. While tasty, the rangoon was hardly warm. Not piping hot as they are typically just popped out of the fryer. Before we were finished, our meals, both lunch specials came out. Again, just barely warm. While everything was tasty, they couldn't have been freshly cooked. $18 dollars+tip is what our meal cost which isn't terrible for two meals and an app, but I don't think I will return. read more

4th of July and I had an unusually patriotic craving for pad thai, so I yelped a bit only to discover that the three nearest Thai restaurants were all closed. Blah. Then I happened across the great reviews of this place and thought, meh, sesame chicken might have to do. Pulled into the drive-thru and immediately noticed a slip of paper labeled "Southeast Asian Menu." Half way down...pad thai! So I ordered that, AND the sesame chicken. The pad thai was, unique. None of the usual mildly-sweet, mildly-spicy flavor, and it was covered with cilantro (or some other green stuff that usually turns up in my pho). Surprisingly, it was quite yummy, and I like how they diced the meat and eggs so that there was some in every bite. Not sure I'll order it for my next pad thai craving, but worthy of ordering for whatever it actually is. On to the sesame chicken. Hopes were high based on reviews, but upon opening the take-out container, they dropped. The chicken was grayish-brown, cut into small pieces, and generally appeared uninspired. Somehow, instead of chewy tasteless chicken bits, it was just the right combination of crispy and soft, with great flavor! Probably ranks in my top five for this dish. Overall, happy to admit that there's finally a Chinese place in the neighborhood that will occassionally steal my tastebuds from Phoenix Cafe. I'd give em an extra point just for having a drive-thru that allows you to get within arms-length of the window without demolishing your rims, but alas, five's the limit. read more

I order from here via DoorDash and honestly this place is great! The food is always good and they have great portion sizes!

I've been coming here for years! This place is delicious and the servers are always so nice. The drive thru is convenient but only before dinner time! Pass this place around that time and you'll find a line of cars in the street. A good sign ;) My favorite is the wonton soup and sesame chicken. Never disappoints! read more

I will never go to this place again, the food was absolutely disgusting. I ordered a order of egg rolls and when I got home I had one very old very cold nasty egg roll the "chicken pad tai" was equally gross and tasted sour. the service was horrible and the place looks nasty outside and in. Worst mistake ever. The store i went to was the one on Blanco. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go there. read more

If I could give them no starts i would because this place deserves none. The owner is supposably a young Asian guy which was hard to believe. That guy is a A hole does not care about what's going on and is money hungry. I ordered from this dump about a week ago in the drive tru and guess what they messed up my order and forgot to put my $2.00 extra worth of chicken. I called to tell them about it and they said not to worry that they would take care of it and replace the meal for the inconvenience of them not making my plate right. Lady who I spoke with was the manager and separated my order ticket and wrote my name so when I went back they could fix the mistake, since at that time by then had already closed. When I go back they looked at me like I am stupid start arguing with me before trying to even make sure they understood the situation or what I was told on the phone. Had I known I would have return there crappy ass food and gotten a full refund. Fuckin penny pinchers. Said they would just give me the two dollars worth of chicken the fuck? Very angry and unhappy. They wanted to give me 50% off my meal. Yea no that's not the point. They messed up they should have made things right. I had to demand for them to just give me what I paid extra since they weren't going to fix the meal and even then they didn't want to. Never go to this dump of a Chinese wannabe restaurant. Poor poor poor customer service and the food is like a 4 out of 10 specially when they mess it up. read more

This is the WORST Chinese food I have ever eaten AND it is the most expensive. FYI they don't give you mustard sauce or sweet and sour for your egg roll like most reasonable restaurants. I will never go there again. Do NOT recommend read more

Another retro atmosphere eatery. Very old school Chinese restaurant. Reasonably priced menu and dishes. The quality of the food was somewhat uneven. While satisfying and well prepared. The seasoning of the food was a little inconsistent. Egg drop- on point. Beef and broccoli-good. Lemon peppered chicken- don't think that was an authentic Chinese dish. Sesame chicken-ok. Chicken and vegetables- very bland. Did I mention you can get a lot of food at a great price? Service was polite and attentive. read more

My husband & I ate here for lunch today based on Yelp reviews & Yelp's nearby search option. We liked the atmosphere, cozy & quiet, the staff was very kind & attentive. The egg drop soup is awesome, I got veggie ramen soup & it was very good. My husband had the s & s chicken & he liked it very much. Overall great experience, we will go back again & again. Update 9/11/11: We went for a 2nd time & it was great again, staff is quick & nice. I got the Veggie Lo Mein & it was awesome! I seriously have dreams about their egg drop soup. Yummy! read more

Tried the Kung Pao chicken - outstanding! Lots of red and green pepper, plenty of a nice sauce, generous amounts of chicken - very nice! read more

Not good, ordered sweet and sour chicken and there is more bread around the chicken than chicken. It's better to go somewhere else

Ok, if you are in the area and you are absolutely craving for something Chinese Food, go to this place coz it's the only place to go. Otherwise Chinese People won't come here. This place ain't bad but it ain't Chinese food either. It's the Chinese food Chinese cook for the Gwai-Lo. Not to dis this place it's cool and it's ok but it ain't Chinese food. read more
