5/10 - would not recommend. Service was terrible. "Boss" (name on receipt) was pre-occupied with something and had her phone on speaker the entire time we were there. When she wasn't on the phone she was in a booth eating. Started with hot and sour soup and won ton soup. Neither was impressive. The Sesame Chicken was dry, hard and ironically had no sesame seeds. The Shrimp Lo Mein was ok, however I've had better. We asked that both entrees could be made spicy and neither were. The restaurant was clean but the sauce bottles were dirty. "Boss" never checked back to see if we were enjoying our meal or needed refills on our water. Still tipped well but for the first time eating Chinese food - nothing was taken home. Definitely will not be going back. read more

This was quite an impressive winner, considering Vonia nearly always consistently gives the Americanized Chinese establishments no higher than a 2.5, usually less. Why? I have the opinion that each culture should be proud of its own cuisine; "Americanized" should not even be a thing. I understand business is business, and most patrons will want "toned down" dishes that are closer to what their eyes, minds, palates, and stomachs are familiar with, but I do not think this should be encouraged. Sure, sometimes you do not want to try something new; I confess, sometimes I also want the comfort that comes with, well, comfort food. Not every meal needs to be an adventure. For this, Panda Express is an excellent choice, they have it covered; even Pei Wei & P.F. Chang's. Other places, slightly more highly priced, do not need to be Americanized. This place might be an exception! From the exterior advertisements to the inside coupons being offered exclusively for ordering online, it is obvious they want to be a business focused on delivery & takeout, not so much dining in experiences. This is further confirmed to see there are but 2 employees in the front of house that will have to cover any serving, waitering, in addition to cashiering for any orders to go. First win is that these two ladies were very welcoming, customer service was great, they were nice, made sure we good what we needed. Inside ambiance, clean, simple, maybe even sleek. Well lit, maybe plain but most everything you need seems to be on the tables already, including scattered menus- some you may need to take one from the front- but the soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, utensils, even plates are there! There are more than ten tables, absolutely you can dine in should you desire that. Next win, quick service. Maybe 15 total minutes to produce our two dishes after we placed the order. We requested no onions, scallions in either, they remembered. (Based on the frequency that dining establishments somehow forget special requests, this is actually a significant win!) We did get takeout, they were generous with the condiments, and I took some time to feed my camera. They looked over but continued to be friendly through the end, when they graciously bid us a great night, even though I did my pictures, taking out the takeout, even though all I did was put it back in and leave. Now the food. Yes, Americanized, but also so fresh and well executed, I do not mind nearly as much. Also, there are some elements that are genuine Chinese, at least leaning that way. Glad the woman who took my order understood my Mandarin! The Combination Lo Mein was flavorful, white meat chicken tender, shrimp, beefs, also tender and well sauced. Wish it had more vegetables than the minimal napa cabbage. The second dish, Beef Vegetable, with Fried Rice. Have to say, even the fried rice was flavorsome and noticeably better than the usual Chinese takeout. Still plain, but that is to be expected mostly. Near in the main entree was wading, not drowning in the brown sauce. Had larger portions for the napa cabbage, white mushroom, carrots, broccoli, bamboo, baby corn. Cooked well, satisfying. Portion sizes were fulfilling. The Lo Mein noodles were not the thin egg noodles used for authentic chow mein, the fried rice was assuredly not the traditional Yangzhou Chinese fried rice. The dinner was 5 stars within the context of Americanized Chinese, but within a general dining experience, it was not the best of the best. Have no issues with returning. Looking forward to it, in fact. Confidently recommended for a fast, flavorsome, friendly, fresh meal! read more

Their website shows incorrect operating days/times so the first time I attempted to dine here, they were closed. The second time I attempted to dine here, I downloaded their mobile app since they advertise an instant $2 off your first order. I quickly noticed the mobile app does not have any of the lunch or early bird special pricing. So instead of the $10.55/$11.55 (lunch, early bird respectfully) pricing advertised on the window minus $2 off for creating a new account, I was presented with $13.45 pricing. When I went to checkout there was no option to apply a $2 off coupon under "click here to see coupons" and it was also not automatically taken off; I did, however, find a $3 off when you spend $25 and applied that but the order was showing: Order Total: $26.43 Coupon Discount: $3.00 Amount After Discount: $23.43 ONLINE ORDERING FEE (8%): $2.23 TO PAY: $30.09 HUH? So perplexed I went inside and the lady working the counter was eating what looked like Pho (which is already unprofessional - if you're on the clock, you shouldn't be eating at the host desk). She grows frustrated with me when I'm asking her how we jump from $23.43 to $30.09 with only a $2.23 fee for online ordering (which I'm already not happy about). So as she's trying to argue and eat she's spitting Pho everywhere. And she keeps saying Tax and she doesn't realize what I'm telling her is if you're charging an 8% fee for the online order, even if you don't show sales tax, it should be a little more than the online ordering fee since it's 8% vs. 8.25% and we're still off by 8.3% to get to the $30.09 "TO PAY" price. So after I literally launch the calculator app and walk her thru each amount step by step she shoots back instantly with well there's "third party processing fees - it's either 15% or 30%" - WTAH - one you're already charging me an online ordering fee. Two, WHAT third party - didn't Y'ALL make the app. I'm not asking for delivery, I'm here in person. Three, IF you had a fee - wouldn't it be a set percentage amount? 15% vs. 30% is a huge spread difference and again- the amount in question is closer to 8% so that STILL doesn't make any sense. So then she pivots and says well if you order with me in the restaurant you save the 8% online ordering fee and I ask well what about the $2 off or $3 off could you apply either one of those? Instant no. I thanked her and left. When I was reading the reviews on here to see if I was crazy (and I have the screenshots, receipts for all of this) the business owner specifically calls out "no extra fees or commissions on any app orders." Well as of December 9, there is still an online ordering fee (8%) presented within the app and that was written in response to a review 5 months ago so if that's no longer true, maybe we should edit that out. Regardless, I ended up going across the street to Panda Express - THREE Entrees with rice and appetizer for under $16. No ridiculous online ordering fee. No random inflations to the price for "third party processing" and no one spitting Pho at me while they try to argue math that literally does not math. read more

Chef Asian Cuisine - Jalapeño chicken and shrimp lunch special. Fresh and flavorful. - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My menu selection was shrimp and veggies in brown sauce. The sauce was good and flavorful as was the shrimp which were not small. Two other people in our group loved the orange shrimp they ordered. We went at 4:30 pm so it was before dinnertime and we were the only people there but customers picking up orders-to-go were plenty. We received excellent attention from our waitress (manager?). We were glad to have eaten there since it is also in our neck-of-the-woods. read more

Chef Asian Cuisine - China Town Stir fry with beef, chicken, shrimp, mixed Asian vegetables and a brown sauce. - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We arrived a bit after 6PM on Wednesday 5 November. We were the only customers in the house! Nice clean dining room - attractive. Service was impeccable. Menus delivered and drink order taken. Wide ranging selections available. I ordered the Ma Po Tofu with the $2 up-charge for ground pork with steamed rice. My friend ordered the shrimp with vegetables and fried rice. The shrimp dish was delivered first. Attractive and more than an ample serving. Soon thereafter my Ma Po came to the table. Pretty presentation - nicely done. Sorry I did not take a photograph to share - you will just have to go to Chef Asian to see for yourself. My friend Al is a picky eater if it is not a fajita taco or a hamburger he is at wit's end. Yet he ate almost all of his food - but not much of the "fried rice". That rice was the low point of the meal. Gummy and not really good - I tasted it. On the other hand - the Ma Po was tingling with Szechuan pepper sauce providing a good taste sensation. The sauce is not pepper hot, but rather a buzz to the tongue. Just wonderful. The steamed rice was fine. The tofu was soft and creamy, the ground pork added subsistence to the dish. As we were leaving two customers came in. More people need to come in and have a great meal. I highly recommenced you patronize this gem of a restaurant. BTW - the prices are quite reasonable, the portions are generous and the flavors are outstanding. Chef Asian gets lost as it faces Harry Wurzbach in the shopping center that has the HEB and has an address of Austin Highway. I'll be back and hope to see you there. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Our appetizers were great, our entrees were terrible, we couldn't eat them. My husband and I have never asked for a refund on food but this was just that bad, the lady at the register would only refund us for one entree, couldn't give a clear answer why but she said only one. Horrible, horrible, horrible, don't even want this taste in my mouth. Literally worst Chinese I've ever had. read more
