    My son and I wanted to try a new place for Chinese. He is a creature of comfort but I was excited to try a new place - it could go hit or miss. I am happy to report it was a huge hit! From the outside its not an attractive place but don't judge a book by its cover. As soon as we stepped inside and saw every table full I knew it would be a hit. It had a great vibe - you come here for a good, affordable meal. Sure enough, the service was fast, the food fresh, hot, and yummy, and the prices were very reasonable. I only wish they were closer to home. I am so grateful to have found another non-franchise eatery that my son approves!

    Such a hidden gem. I remember coming here ages ago and decided to come by many years later - the quality is still amazing. They offer lunch specials and the servings are HUGE. I shared a plate with my mom they're so big. Outside of lunch prices the cost is between 10-13 bucks which isn't bad considering the amount of food you're getting. They take cash and card. They have canned sodas and Mexican bottle sodas no fountain drinks. Give this place a try!

    Best Chinese restaurant!! Don't be deceived by the unappealing building... their food is delicious and servings are huge: 3 meals served 5 of us, with leftovers! The lady (I assume owner) is super sweet. My favorite dish so far is the Sesame chicken

    Orange Chicken

    Very nice portions for the price. Good flavor as well Got the general Tso and the Hunan beef (a lot of veggies and Good amount of beef in there) Not spicy at all. Great flavor. Enjoyed what we got very much. We could of definitely shared one plate comes with side of rice as well.

    General w noodles for a $1 more

    For a very unassuming place the food was spot on. You can always count on getting hot and made to order. I went with the noodles n general Tao. It was very good and the portions are huge. The price is very reasonable for all you get. I docked a star because there was no room to sit so I had to take it to go. The service is usually pretty good. Don't go for lunch unless you have a long lunch hour. The place is small and seats maybe 20 people if that. Their lunch specials are around $5.

    Egg drop soup

    Do you people have any idea how difficult it is to find decent Chinese food in El Paso?? It's like searching for the holy grail during the last crusade or something like that. Well, anyway...take a hole-in-the-wall place that accommodates 38 persons and produces delicious egg drop soup and more than half way decent fried rice; slap a modestly low key sign on the front and you've got Soya Cafe. There isn't much to the decorum of this place. I mean...it's a Chinese restaurant. Small, quaint and unassuming. The appealing punch is packed in the food and let me just say...I was honestly surprised! Today's classic little lunch started off as they often do with a nice warm cup of egg drop soup. Let me just say...I love the consistency and thickness of this broth. Coloring, texture and flavor were all spot on (unlike P.F. Changs). Best of all, there were plenty of egg whites jam packed in the soup. As an avid egg drop soup fan, I will tell you that THIS is the most crucial element that can be included in the Asian classic. Now, a little history as to how I came about bookmarking and eventually dining in this place. I've lived in El Paso for a long time, off and on. Point is...somehow I always keep coming back here and even during all that time, I have never found a Chinese restaurant worth getting even a little bit excited about. I normally gauge my affection for a place by their chicken fried rice and egg rolls. Because I have a theory: these two items are basic for Chinese take-away. So if either of these dishes are bizarre or, worse, severely screwed up, then I feel it's a strong indication that place just cannot cook. At Soya Cafe though, the fried rice is well seasoned, well portioned, well priced and didn't even need any additional soy sauce to help season it further. This has to be like...the first time that's ever happened! And I'm THAT guy. You know...the one who puts soy sauce on everything in a Chinese setting. Service was both cordial and johnny on the spot! Tanya Y. wasn't kidding when she said they always seem to be ready for the lunch rush. They had my soup out in seconds and the fried rice was served in under 10 minutes. Seriously, this place could put a lot of so-called "fast food" restaurants to shame with their speedy delivery. I can always appreciate an establishment that doesn't force me to wait an entire school semester for my food to come out. Also, the prices are very affordable! Talk about a cheaper, more delectable alternative to the illustrious P.F. Changs. I've got to remind myself to try the egg rolls next time I visit this place. Whether you're here for a fast lunch or traditional take-away, Soya Cafe easily gets 4 stunningly seasoned plates of chicken fried rice (but next time, hold the peas, please) out of 5.

    The (lack of) cream cheese puff should be called the won ton puff.

    Food is very good, reasonably priced, and orders are quickly cooked. Better to call directly for better prices.

From the…read moremoment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming--clean, cozy, and filled with the aroma of sizzling barbecue. * Service: The staff is attentive without being overbearing. They explain the menu clearly and check in often to make sure everything is perfect. * Food: Every dish bursts with flavor. The kimchi is tangy and fresh, the bulgogi melts in your mouth, and the bibimbap is beautifully presented with vibrant vegetables and a perfectly cooked egg. The banchan (side dishes) are plentiful and constantly refilled, which makes the meal feel generous and complete. * Experience: If you go for the Korean BBQ, the staff helps guide you through grilling at the table, making it fun and interactive. It's perfect for groups but also comfortable for solo diners. * Value: Portions are hearty, and the quality of ingredients justifies the price. You leave full, satisfied, and already planning your next visit. Pro tip: Try the spicy tofu stew on a chilly day--it's comfort in a bowl. Pair it with a refreshing Korean beer or soju for the full experience. This restaurant nails the balance between tradition and modern dining. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience Korean cuisine at its best. ---

My girlfriend loved her sesame tofu but that was about the only good thing we had. The beef with broccoli was tough with only four or five pieces of meat. The sauce on the orange chicken tasted like it was from a jar. The service was not good as the young girl could do more than one thing at a time. Take an appetizer order, leave, bring two drinks but not the third, then leave but come back five minutes later for our order. Just not very efficient and she knew nothing about the menu. Worse of all, she named off the fountain drinks only to come back and tell us they were out of one, leave and then tell us they didn't have anything but lemonade or iced tea. So many order places to try and I would suggest you avoid this one. I like to support local restaurants but I won't support this one.
