    Orange Chicken with fried rice.
    Aj G.

    Food on the lunch menu top notch. Portions are great. Hot and sour soup by far my favorite in San Antonio right now. Place was very chill atmosphere. Service was fast. I got my soup and had my entree minutes latter.

    Bowl of  Hot & Sour Soup, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Seafood Delight, Fried Rice, white Steamed Rice

    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.

    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!

    Chicken fried rice and sesame

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Spicy Chicken wings
    Jacqueline O.

    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

    Sichuan chicken
    Raymin

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

The staff is super friendly and courteous :) ! We usually order the beef vermicelli soup, and a variety of dumplings :D ! They serve our food pretty promptly, with the soup still hot and tasty, and the dumplings steamy and savory :D ! My sister doesn't eat pork. So she typically orders dumplings that don't contain pork. I eat all kinds of meat. So I always order the pork and chive dumplings :D ! Whether you come in on a weekday or weekend, it always helps to come early if you can! If we want to go there for lunch, we try to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they first open. As it gets closer to 12 noon, it starts to get really busy, and it's harder and trickier for the staff to seat you. There is both booth and table seating. It's a great restaurant to catch up with friends, family or even colleagues over a good meal :) ! The parking lot out in front is a pretty decent size. But it can fill up pretty quickly when it gets busy! We also love ordering frozen dumplings to go :D ! For sure, we will definitely come back :D ! Kung Fu Noodle never disappoints :) !

I got the beef noodle soup with pork and chive steamed dumplings combination that comes with tea or soda. With tax, this is all under $20. The soup was better than what I've had in San Antonio and noodles were not too doughy with lots of beef. Pork chive dumplings were delicious! Staff was friendlier than other places that are asian own:). Casual place to eat with friends for great bowl of noodles and dumplings! I would come back to try other items off their menu. They have skewers as well!

Walked in and waited for a few minutes before someone handed us menus and told us to sit wherever. Just handed us menus...in a kind of "just go sit down kinda way". Not real friendly. The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot. I felt my pot in particular, was over-loaded with huge chunks of veggies that could have been better chopped as to be more manageable. More chicken and beef in that chicken and beef pot, too, please ... The person waiting on us, if you could call it that, was not personable and could not have cared less about interacting. His drive by meal drop-offs were the epitome of antisocial. Probably won't return.

I have been to this restaurant several times which I did like. It rank higher than the other few places available in San Antonio.

It gives a positive sign about the restaurant itself The portions are huge! I ordered the whole chicken? Sichuan style. I asked if it is the whole chicken I don't know if language barrier lol she did the sign of no no with her hand. It is actually maybe equal to 2 chickens! Not complaining! I was very happy with it! I will keep on returning to try more things on the menu
