I regularly order delivery from Tjins. Each time the food has been delicious. I stopped by one time to pick up my order, and I found the restaurant to be very nice, clean, and yummy smelling. The two employees who I met that day were courteous. Five stars. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and staff was very friendly . Served family style plates... very generous portions. And they even gave us forks and plates for my cake. read more

The moment I walked in it smelled so good like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and fried deliciousness. I just sat down and chose my seat at the booth and was greeted pretty quickly. I ordered crab rangoon that are very creamy and sweet. The curry chicken and shrimp which is spicy and has all the flavor. The sesame chicken is very sweet and saucy. The meats are juicy. I appreciate when rice is made perfectly and I ate the whole rice bowl! I had so much food to go. I was able to make another meal out of it. The ambience is clean and ready to serve. The employees here are very thoughtful. Thank you so much for the experience, your lovely attentive staff, and delicious food. read more

My family and I were craving Chinese food. It was already getting late but we found this place doesn't close until 9:30pm. My son is usually a picky eater. But he got the orange chicken and he ate most of it and drank all his egg drop soup. My other son loved the fried rice mostly and I shared my sweet sour shrimp. It was nice hot and crispy and I ate mine with white rice. Hubby got the sesame chicken. He couldn't stop talking about the sauce. And the portions were a big portion. Enough for leftovers the next day. Instead of appetizers we got a big bowl of hot sour soup. I wish it would be more spicy and add some tobasco sauce but my boys and hubby loved it cause it wasn't spicy. Service was great as well. We had 3 different guys servers checking on us and our main server checking on us multiple times. Not in annoying way like some restaurants do. Most definitely coming back. read more

Tjin China Diner - Bowl of Hot & Sour Soup, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Seafood Delight, Fried Rice, white Steamed Rice - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This restaurant is tucked in a shopping center next to McAllister's. It's a nice and quiet and the ambiance is very chill. The food portions are really large. So it is definitely filling. Our waiter was awesome and food came fast after ordering shortly. I think this is a nice gem we found here on the NW side of SA. Will be coming back here for Chinese food in the future! read more

It was a clean restaurant and friendly staff. The wonton and egg drop soup was delicious. The best dishes were the curry chicken with white rice and the sweet and sour pork. I ordered the combo pad Thai and I had to send back due to the shrimp tasting too"fishy", not suppose to taste like that. I did return that dish and tried just the beef pad Thai instead, I'm sorry but too much sauce overpowering the dish. I guess better for their "fried"foods. Oh well thank you t.jinn won't be seeing you again...... read more

Tjin China Diner - Pepper Steak with White Steamed Rice. - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

As an individual from NC who has had great southern Chinese food this was horrible. The lo mein noodles are fettuccine noodles covered in sauce. The sesame chicken was incredibly dry and hard to even take a bite out of. We asked for no spice chicken wings and was instead given curry chicken. And the fried rice is incredibly bland. Do not recommend! Do not go here. read more

I ordered from the restaurant for delivery. Normally I don't leave bad reviews but this was exceptionally bad. The soup that I ordered was laughably small with the portion I received. The egg roll was pretty good but the sweet and sour sauce that came with it was weirdly thick. Finally, the general chicken was disgusting. The chicken was very dry but pink in the middle and the breading was super soggy. The sauce lacked flavor and it was just not a good experience overall. read more

Great food and options. Friendly staff. Spacious, clean restaurant. Plenty of parking. I discovered this restaurant after I received their menu in my mailbox. I noticed that they have plenty of options that I was interested in, so I made a point to go there for dinner last night. I couldn't make up my mind, but ended up with general tso shrimp. My friend got the lemon chicken. Both serving sizes were huge. The general tso shrimp is marked as spicy on the menu. I did ask for them to make it less spicy. I am a chicken when it comes to spice, so I did feel like the less spicy version was a tad bit spicy still. Next time, I'll just ask for no spice and add my own spice as needed. The meal came with either fried rice or white rice. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The sauce was delicious and they gave me enough to soak my rice in it. My friend enjoyed her lemon chicken. I saw a lot of people taking their food to go. Definitely a great to go spot. I want to return to eat a few of the other items on the menu. read more

This is still the best Chinese restaurant in San Antonio! The food remains consistent even after 6 years of visiting this place! I had to update my review because after living in San Antonio for 5 years and now having comeback from living in California, this is still one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever visited and worth 5 stars for the quality the portion size and just the overall excellent flavor of their Hunan 3 delight and their fried rice! Their happy family is delish and well just every dish I have tried!! I love this place!! The service is always on point and the ambiance is just your good local clean Chinese restaurant and it's a must try if you are in the area! You won't be disappointed! Not the super authentic Chinese but if you like Chinese food you will certainly enjoy this! read more

Amazing little diamond in the rough! The food, the service and the fact that it's not overly crowded is what makes this special! Everything's legit! I'm super picky when it comes to Chinese, but this is so far the best I've found in San Antonio! ***Gotta try the orange chicken...super meaty, and the sauce is incredible! read more

Food is always on spot! They are one of the few places who have sweet n sour pork, which is one of my faves, and they do an amazing job. We also usually get their Sesame Chicken and General Tso. We get both crispy and spicy. Delish! read more

It's small & locally owned. The staff are all team players. We were checked on constantly and their new spicy wings are THE BEST, if you like a pleasant spicy these are perfect. I felt like I was in a Korean drama-- all I needed was the beer Will definitely be back!!! PS Do not recommend the Thai tea read more

Food was not tasty. Very dry food, fried rice more like steamed rice and only has egg, no veggies. Food has no flavor . Drinks overpriced. Would not come back. read more

Service and food was good. Clean local restaurant. Good variety. Very few people here at lunch. Not worth a long trip. Parking is good and easy access. read more

Food is delicious. Try the triple kung pao delight order it spicy..add mix vege..super yummy...

I love the food here. The service is great as well. Just the right size of place. Quaint. Not too large where it seems like a cafeteria. I would only give feedback on the timing of the main entrée coming out. The last 3 times I've visited Tjin, my plate comes out like 10 to 15 mins after the company I'm with has been served. Turns the meal awkward and not so care free and enjoyable. read more

Nice little Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend the hunan or sichuan chicken. I also enjoyed the wonton soup as well. Would definitely go back! read more

The food is good, but I don't like that they changed the crab rangoons, the new ones are not good, the old ones were MUCH better. Service is good. However, it's always WAY TOO COLD inside the restaurant! Uncomfortably cold to where you cannot even enjoy your food in peace. read more

Chicken Fried Rice??! YES pwetty pwease. Best in the city and you heard it from a seasoned vet in the fried rice game. Catch me getting my freak on with my chickon at least three times a week here. They cookin straight heat in the kitchen. 10/10 would recommend especially when tryin to keep that body right! Way better alternative than picking up just regular fast food. If you pop in, let them know Lara sent you. read more

Fast cheap Chinese food. I got the Chicken Lo Mein, came with a lot of noodles but barely any meat. Overall underwhelming 4/10. read more

Tjin China Diner - K Chicken Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First time eating here. We got the food to go. It was delicious! I will definitely be visiting again.

Tried this little place in the shopping center. Clean, attentive service, but food was just okay. Fried rice was white rice with soy sauce, very bland. The orange chicken was loaded with Thai Chiles, and the Triple delight was okay but not anything that we would order again. Kids lo mein was a nice sized portion and good flavor but again lacked the wow factor. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating, and the waitstaff is attentive. The person at the register was robotic and not at all friendly, didn't even say how long the food would take. read more

This place is one of my favorite Chinese food places! I always get the sesame chicken and they have a good lunch special. Their hot and sour soup is delicious. Service is great when you dine in or take out. When you dine in they make sure that you are taken care of, very calm, and clean. read more

Some of the best Chinese food I've had in Texas. Portion sizes are huge and the food tastes amazing. Service is also very good. 10/10

Wanted to find a local restaurant near me to frequent, and can safely say i was NOT disappointed at all!! From the moment we walked in we were greeted kindly and sat, and the atmosphere just seemed like the food would be great! My friend and i shared the Beef Lo Mein and the Sesame Chicken and my jaw was on the floor! Everything came out so fast and the servers were incredibly attentive. Serving sizes were absolutely huge and it was a great meal to share with a friend, there were plenty of leftovers as well. The egg drop soup was an amazing starter and a great size for a $1.99 cup. One of our fortune cookies didn't have a fortune in it and they gave us some extra for the road Will definitely be coming back! read more

This is one of our "go to" Chinese restaurants. The Chicken Pad Thai always hits the mark. And whether you dine in or get it to go, you'll have enough for leftovers. Wife always orders shrimp (pepper or jalapeño) and she never complains. Thanks Tjin. read more

Amazing service, always checked in on us and got us everything me needed, server was so nice and helpful, and the food was great i got sesame chicken and was great the egg drop soup great and the egg rolls fried to perfection would highly recommend 5/5 read more

So far so Good and Awesome Yes sir this place has won my attention, referred to me by my brother in law, I don't think I can go to another Chinese place nope Had a variety of plates already from a Lamb Dish to Singapore Noodles with a Indian curry flavor, Four Treasure, Mongolian Beef, Hunan 3 Delight, Kung Pao. Each plate has very good flavors, it's not like some Chinese places where they use the same sauce for different dishes Egg rolls are good too as well as their hot and sour soups and egg drop soups I'm still dying to try other dishes so lll definitely be catching up here on yelp soon This place IS A MUST FOR SURE! read more

Horrible sesame chicken, it was hard on outside & dry chicken inside & the worst crab cheese puff i've ever had , wouldn't recommend at all

Great food!! Very clean & the staff are friendly. Finally a restaurant that when the menu says hot it's hot.

We came here after we spent the afternoon at Seaworld. We got there at 8 pm and they were still serving. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and they were very busy with To Go Orders. We started with the Egg Drop Soup which was tasty. We then ordered The Lo Mein. The noodles were tasty. We also ordered The Kung Pao Chicken and The Fried Rice. The meat portions were fine. The only thing lacking was there were no vegetables in the dishes. I think this is a pretty good whole in the wall Chinese Restatement with the traditional oily food. I think they could have kicked it up a notch with some added vegetables and a little more spice. It is possible that they may have run out. I have had better Chinese food but I would come again. read more
