I've been looking for a solid Chinese and dim sum place and just so happened to stumble on Golden Wok after a kiddos baseball game Sunday afternoon. 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! read more

Unless I'm dying for dim sum, prob won't come again. Even the dessert sesame balls I ordered were not fresh and sat around for awhile. We wanted fish and ordered both the ginger steamed and the garlic black bean. Neither had much taste and what did taste was like I cooked it, which is no compliment Rice is so important to me and they have the cheap grain that's hard and doesn't stay hot We had both the white and brown Service is good Flies are everywhere The whole place esp restrooms need a rehaul. Seating is not comfortable with the hard chairs and the booths that have tears on them and are bumpy. Even the parking lot needs help read more

My daughter and I cannot recommend this restaurant. It was better 15 years ago. 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. read more

Looking for a weekday lunch special. There's a special for everyone! Including if you can't figure out what you want you can do a combo special. I came in a Monday and wanted the moo goo gai pan but also wanted the lemon chicken. So I had both. It was a lot of food. I liked the lemon chicken best. Comes with fried rice and a crispy egg roll, soup and a drink. They do charge an extra $1.50 if change the soup. Get here early, they get very busy. Food comes out pretty quickly. Restrooms were smelly and didn't look clean. Kid friendly and staff were very nice. Plenty of parking. read more

Solid dim sum restaurant! The har gau and siu mai were amazing. The chicken feet were also pretty good! I also got chow fun, but there were too many bean sprouts and the noodles didn't absorb much flavor from the seasonings/sauces. I loved the cart service, and the restaurant was so comfy! It was a huge restaurant, but I felt well taken care of. read more

Both of these were 2 different types of dim sum. One was as a shrimp ball and the other was a shrimp Shumai. Both were very fresh and amazing!

She gave my daughter and I fried rice. Then gave me a plate ... then took my food away to eventually just give me a plate with beef and mushroom. My daughter ended up trading rice with get brother. Then she wanted to make small talk cause she knew she had messed up. I didn't mind though. I had more mushroom than beef read more

Golden Wok - Saturday lunch special Beef and Mushrooms with steamed rice - Dim Sum Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A friend loves this restaurant, I didn't know what to expect, but it's a full blown restaurant with its own large parking lot. And right before you enter, there's a beautifully landscaped water garden pond feature with live koi fish, plants, pagoda, and waterfall. Menu had a range of your typical Chinese dishes, with a large dim sum section that looked interesting. But, I went for their lunch special of the day- I chose the shrimp stir fry and substituted the pork fried rice with brown rice. It came with tea, egg drop soup, and fried wontons. The plate had a bountiful amount of rice, too much rice actually. The shrimp stir fry was ok, maybe add more of the stir fry and cut back on the rice? The egg drop was meh. Our server didn't check on us during our meal, we had to flag him down for more tea and to go boxes. Nice atmosphere though and the employees at the front of the house were very friendly. read more

A staple for Chinese in San Antonio. Always FRESH and great portions. They only offer brown or white rice with entrees so we always order a fried rice for the table to share. Recently we tried the calamari and it's some of the best I've ever had. Cooked to perfection it was not rubbery at all. read more

Golden Wok has gotten so damn good lately. You have to go on a busy weekend for lunch when they have enough people for carts or else you won't be able to experience all of their off-menu dimsum. It's never as good when I order to-go Things like their oily egg tarts will always be too greasy and a lot of their main menu items are more catered towards American flavors but they actually have a decent selection of dimsum. Don't miss out! read more

A friend picked up some takeout so I am unsure of the ambiance or service, however the food was tasty! The portion size alone was enough to make 2 meals out of it. I got the pan fried noodle with shrimp. Lots of shrimp, lots of noodle, lots of veggies. It needed a lot more sauce/seasoning had I eaten it as is, but once I doctored it up with soy sauce and spice, it was perfect. read more

My husband and I chose Golden Wok for our date night ! Our first time here! The restaurant has a beautiful entrance welcomed by a small pond on each side with koi fish swimming around and a fountain on one side. Ambiance was very lively and service was great from the moment we walked in! I ordered tea and my hubby ordered a Sapporo. To eat, we ordered a variety of dim sum: spare rib, shrimp sui mai, and har gau. We also ordered sesame chicken and we shared everything! Everything we order was delicious. Our order came out promptly and we were satisfied after finishing everything! Highly recommend! Restaurant has private parking lot with plenty of parking spots! read more

Good lunch specials. Huge portions. Dare these days. Very fair price and delicious Chinese shrimp stir fry with real gulf shrimp NOT the tiny frozen shrimp that many Chinese restaurants have gone to lately. The soup was good not great and the pork fried rice was also tasty. The service was good and our server was attentive and kept our tea and water full. If you are near the medical center I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Service could've been better. It took awhile to get the waitress to acknowledge our table. Dinner with the family was on point today. You should try the family portion of egg drop soup. It's literally enough for at least 6/8 servings. The shrimp friend rice was good. As was the shrimp Cantonese was perfect. read more

If you're on the hunt for a Chinese meal with a fantastic dim sum selection and some truly standout orange chicken, look no further than Golden Wok on Wurzbach. My recent visit left me thoroughly impressed, and I'm already planning my return trip. From the moment you step inside, the friendly staff at Golden Wok make you feel welcome. Their warm demeanor and attentiveness contribute significantly to the overall enjoyable dining experience. It's clear they take pride in their service, and it shows. One of the most striking aspects of Golden Wok is their huge selection of dim sum. Whether you're a seasoned dim sum aficionado or a curious newcomer, you'll find something to tantalize your taste buds. I dove into a few highlights that truly shone. The beef tripe dim sum was a revelation - deeply flavorful and perfectly cooked. Equally impressive were the fung jou (which I assume refers to the steamed chicken feet, though the description of "melt in your mouth tender" with a "black bean sauce that followed up the flavor" paints a more elevated picture). They were indeed incredibly tender, and the accompanying black bean sauce was a masterful blend of savory and umami, enhancing every delicate morsel. But the real star of my meal, and a dish I'd consider among the best I've ever had, was their orange peel chicken. This is not your average takeout orange chicken. Golden Wok elevates this classic with an exceptional execution. Each piece of chicken boasted a great crunch that held up beautifully, offering a satisfying textural contrast. The flavor was equally remarkable - a true orange flavor that wasn't overly sweet or artificial. It was a vibrant, zesty citrus embrace that perfectly enveloped your taste buds, leaving a delightful, lingering tang. In conclusion, Golden Wok on Wurzbach is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine. The combination of friendly service, an extensive dim sum menu that truly impresses, and a standout orange peel chicken that will have you dreaming about it long after your meal is over, makes this restaurant a gem. Highly recommended! read more

Placed an order for takeout in-person on Thursday late morning. The employee was nice and patient, and he made sure to repeat the entire back to double check everything. The order took quite a while to make, but I waited at the bar, which had seating, so it wasn't bad at all. The restaurant is very calming and clean. When we ate the food at home, it was great! The egg custard tarts were flaky and sweet, the dumplings were very good too. read more

The food is way to greasy, the food in trays are cold and not fresh. Definitely wouldn't go there asian cuisine.

This place definitely exceeded our expectations! Everything we ordered was delicious! Sadly we were headed to Fiesta Texas afterwards so we couldn't take the leftovers with us. We loved the dim sum items: chicken feet, shrimp balls, spare ribs. The peking duck and pad Thai were also excellent! We will definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

One of Dad's favorite spots is @goldenwoksatx. We love the dimsum cart experience and getting to pick through all the food choices. From hakaw, dimsum noodles, chicken feet, chung fun, cha siu bao, egg tart, roast pork, and ham siu kok. Excellent service from Fidela and seeing Jimmy was great. If you need a dimsum spot, this is the place for you! read more

I have heard a lot of good things about this place. I walked in and was seated quickly. I looked over the menu for the lunch specials. There were limited options available. I decided to get the sweet and sour pork. The soup that comes with it is egg drop so I asked if I could substitute for wonton. The waitress said I could substitute but there is an up-charge. I agreed and ordered the wonton soup. The broth in the wonton soup was excellent. I ordered an unsweetened tea to drink and didn't enjoy it. There was a strange aftertaste, I'm not sure if it was the water that was used or the tea bags. The presentation of the sweet and sour pork plate was very nice. The portion was generous, unfortunately the pork was very dry. I wanted to like the restaurant because of all the good things I read and heard but I did not have a good experience. read more

I'm from Seattle with the infamous Chinatown & I wondered if I'd ever find a spot with comparable dim sum to my fave spots back home UNTIL I FOUND GOLDEN WOK I'm so happy this place exist. Good service. Feels like a clean and solid restaurant. It's perfect for dim sum cravings! read more

We went here (a friend and I visiting my papa from out of town) because Papa's wife loves this place and had sent me Mike Sutter reviews. We were not disappointed. We were there for lunch during a weekday. The parking lot was full, but not packed. The restaurant has beautiful landscaping outside the windows viewable from the tables inside. The atmosphere is not sexy but nicer than just functional. Papa comes here every Saturday after Yoga and orders the Sweet and Sour Pork as well as dim sum dishes. We missed the dim sum, but enjoyed the lunch specials -- Papa got the sweet and sour pork :-) My friend and I ordered and shared appetisers. Calamari: REALLY enjoyed these. The batter is crisp and light, but the delicate scent of 5 spice makes these tender rings really special. No sauce needed, but the spicy sweet accompaniment is nice. The portion was big, but I would not have stopped eating if the portion was twice as big. Spring roll: Meh. I loved the crispy exterior and the well seasoned sauce, but the filling was overwhelmingly steamed cabbage. There is so much delicious veg that boiled cabbage flavour was depressing. Dumpling: Yes and more! We got them fried. One crispy side, tender wrappers, delectable chicken filling!! Ginger sauce was delightful and I would happily have them again. We try much want to return and get the duck... next time. read more

It was very busy when we arrived for lunch. They have ok service, I wish I had more refills for my ice tea but they at least came around a few times. The food was just ok. The dim sum was average and the lunch special beef with broccoli was to me below average and to my sister average. I wouldn't want to order that again. The egg drop soup just tasted like chicken broth. Someone please tell me what I need to order to love this place like all the other people here!

I ordered 3 dishes of Dim Sum. To be fair the food that arrived was very good but I had to remind our waiter about not receiving my Shrimp Shu Mai 3 different times. As everyone finished their meals I asked politely one last time and he told me to my face "it's going to be freshly made and there's 1 minute 15 seconds left on the timer". If I would have asked one more time where my Shu Mai was, it would have felt like a hostage negotiation. We all get our checks and my order is still not at the table. I must be running on interstellar time because 20 minutes went by and the minute 15 seconds was still going by !! They must need to re calibrate the machine they are using to cook these Shrimp Shu Mais. It's one thing to forget a birthday but to forget my Shu Mai, is crazy. Never coming back. read more

Drive this place every weekend and its parking lot is always packed. Came Sunday of Lunar New Year to celebrate, and it was everything I wanted!! People pushing carts full of dim sum options ( SO MANY OPTIONS) all the time, and fresh restocking every so often. My eyes were picking more than I could eat. Got about 9 plates and spent $50ish with tip, which is great imo for quality dim sum. Tip: at 11:30 the wait line became insanely long, so getting there around 11 was great. Sat ASAP. Service for the food was good, but incredibly difficult to catch our waiter for water refill and check and ONLY your waiter could wait on your table (?) but still, can't wait to come back for more dim sum! Lotus leaf dish was the best ever. read more

I came here for dim sum and was pleasantly surprised for how good it was! I definitely had low expectations for San Antonio, but it was a treat Love the dim sum cart experience. It's been harder to find that since Covid *sigh* We tried all the classic dishes - har gow, siu mai, wrapped sticky rice, black bean pork ribs, bbq pork buns, egg tarts, etc. Everything was good! Loved the sticky rice and bbq pork buns are always a hit. I don't think I had a bad bite. Not as amazing as dim sum in Houston, but I wouldn't hesitate to come again for a dim sum craving. Major gripe though: We ordered a bok choy dish from the kitchen and they never brought it out. They acknowledged that they had overlooked the order and it was never made in the kitchen; we were ready to check out by that time, so we cancelled the dish. When the bill arrived, we were still getting charged for the bok choy. So I pointed it out and the lady said they'd remove it. When she came back with the receipt, she gave it to someone else in our party (who was not paying attention, not his fault) and STILL charged us for bok choy! We only noticed after we split the bill and realized it didn't add up. Grr... So Watch Out!! read more

The food was good. But a kid projectile vomitted just 2 feet away from our table. We asked 3 employees to please clean it up. (because the parents of the kid didn't bother to come back and clean up their mess). Nothing was done and we had to sit down and finish our food with chunky bile in sight & the smell of fresh vomit just a couple feet away. Someone else's Vomit soaked the carpet for at least half an hour while we were seated right next to it, and no one took care of it after being asked multiple times. I am extremely grossed out. read more

It appears their focus is dim sum, any other item on the menu doesn't seem to get the attention it needs. I ordered the Mongolian Beef which is described in the menu is beef, with green peppers, carrots and onions in a hot and spicy brown sauce. There were 4 of us sining togethet, and instead of individual portions they dumped all the rice together and left it up to the diner's to try to divide it up evenly which I didn't appreciate! But worst of all, my Mongolian Beef was SWIMMING IN OIL, and thats all I could taste was the OIL!!! Also, be forewarned, all their egg rolls include shrimp so be aware!!! NOT AT ALL HAPPY!!! read more
