Review Chin's Garden - San Antonio

Geo-T22 Pav

I like locally owned restaurants. This place is a great hidden gem. They have lunch and dinner specials daily. Their food, service, and prices are reasonable. The staff is courteous, and I can't say enough about the place. Finally, they survived the recent pandemic, and I am thankful. The plates are off the dinner menu. One is chicken with vegetables and the other Kung po beef. Each was accompanied by a small cup of soup. I hope your experience is as good as ours. If time, order a take out of family sized pork fried rice.

I came here with my boyfriend and we both ordered sesame chicken it was my first time here. The presentation was great and the service was spot on fast like ridiculously amazing fast. We are always looking for some tasty spots in SA this one had to be one of my favorite spots. everybody is so kind as soon as you walk in through the door up until the moment you leave. They give you a very good portion compared to other restaurants and all at good price too, I - (We) will definitely be coming back for more My rating for this place is 10/10 hidden gem. If your hungry and debating what to eat just stop by and try it out for yourself

This place deserves a line out the door with this food! I would wait an hour to get a table here if I had to. I promise I'm not just fanboying over here. They're menu is almost the size of Cheesecake Factory. They have Chinese, sushi, and other dishes. The level of service was excellent. I use the same test at every Chinese place I go to: How's the lemon chicken?? Brooo when I say this top 2 lemon chicken's in my life, I'm not exaggerating. The moistness of the meat, the flakeyness of the crust, the density and sugar level of the lemon sauce 🤤🤤🤤 The sushi was great too. Better than some sushi-only places in town 🤫 I'm scared to hype this spot too much cause I want to return here with ease, get a table quickly. To see it the other night with only 1 other table was wild. Maybe their more of a lunch place? Either way, i hope yall quit sleeping on this corner spot. And if you see me there, don't judge me on the bowl of lemon sauce I'm drinking from 😅 The sesame balls were also very delicious. We took an order home to enjoy and finished them before we walked into the house. Can't rave enough about this place. Will definitely be back soon!

This is one of my favs. Today I placed an order for my office, they don't offer a family size entrees but no problem. I ordered Pepper Steak and lemon chicken off the dinner menu. The food was fresh, delicious my co workers loved it. The eggrolls just flew off the table. Let me grab one quickly!! Try this place for lunch, you'll love it.

This is my favorite place to get my shrimp fried rice from. It's a cute little quiet spot to sit and eat romantically with your mate as well. It's small and cozy. The people that work here are very polite too. I have been coming here for years, but I am really only a fan of the Rice and egg rolls.

lemon chicken is delicious and the sushi is amazing. Super friendly service with a cozy environment! One of my go to restaurants. Will definitely be coming back :)

Ordered wonton soup, combination fried rice, sesame balls, and fried wonton, Really good and definitely coming back. The two ladies who took our order were so nice and attentive. They gave grandma vibes and treated us like family.

This is usually our stop after a long work week. The food is always on point. Their sashimi is the best. Bbq ribs will make you ask for more. Love the sushi. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

So we ordered lo Mein and orange chicken. The orange chicken was pretty good, as well as the egg roll. Now the lo mein, it had no flavor! The only reason I’m giving them 4 stars is because they agreed to refund me for lo mein (and the orange chicken was above average) The only reason I may return is because it’s close to my house.

My family has been to this restaurant several times, each on a Sunday for lunch. The restaurant is very clean and quite and servers friendly. The food is good but the sushi is only fair. If you want a good, quite lunch visit here on a Sunday afternoon.

Recently we went to this restaurant. It was a small restaurant but very clean and descent. The foods we ordered were very tasty. The lady we was taking the order and serving food was courteous.

Chin's Garden is hands down the best Chinese food I have had. I've been going here for years, and there's always amazing service. They have lunch and dinner specials, which get you an entreé, rice, egg roll, and soup. The specials are inexpensive, but if you want to try a few things among your group, the regular menu is larger portions served family style. I personally love the egg drop soup and sesame chicken. The chicken is always white meat, which isn't always the case in Chinese restaurants. If you're looking for a quick, inexpensive, delicious meal, look no further than this restaurant.

Mark Soria

Great Chinese food!!! The place was very clean and the staff very friendly...all pluses...but the food earned it's five stars! I had the beef stir fry and it was perfect.

Rose Cardenas

Ms. Carol the daughter's owner is always there and the food is fantastic

David L

Always good (Americanized) Chinese food. Egg drop soup is awesome and the General Tso’s chicken tastes like it should. Excellent sauce. Friendly service every time.

Laura Garcia

Very nice family owned business & food was delicious! Our little one loved the teriyaki and we loved the sushi!

Ben Johnson

We have always been happy with Chin's Garden. Good crispy beef, and crab Rangoon. Tofu fried rice is also always good. They deliver to a limited area, and we are just in the boarder so have only done carry out or delivery, never eaten there.

Karen Silvers

This is a family favorite! We live within 2 miles and usually pick our order up to bring home. The food quality has always been excellent. We have lived in Japan and travelled many times to Hong Kong, and we find their food to be just as good as those places. Their hot and sour soup is the best we have ever had anywhere, including Hong Kong!

Amy Damon

Food's great but menu prices on Urban Spoon are off by $3-$4 per entree. Be careful!!

Best Chinese Food in San Antonio!. We love the food, atmosphere and Amy, John, Peter and Mary! This is the only Chinese restaurant we go to and order food from. The Mongolian beef is great! I like the black pepper chicken and my 91 year old Mother likes the chop suey. They always make sure that the vegetables are soft for her and they give her extra cucumber salad because they know she likes it. Best restaurant in town!!!

Romialyn

The BEST hands down!!!!. The food is spectacular and the service as well. We've been coming here for years and we can't bring ourselves to eat Chinese anywhere else, even when out of town. They set the bar high. Fresh food and very reasonable prices. Family friendly too!

Wow, made an account just to write this review. So It's 9:30pm and this place closes at 10pm. Unfortunately, I can't get in. Not sure why, but the door is locked. I knocked when someone walked by, and they just waved their finger at me. I pointed at their sign, and they got someone wearing a button up (manager, I guess.) He yells through the door that they're closed and walks away. Fantastic. Now it's 9:38pm, almost done writing this review. And the nice man just walked outside where I'm standing. I asked why they closed early, and without looking at me he said they close early every night, walked to his car and drove away. So yeah, not really feeling this place.

Ms.hudson

Love It!. We love Chin's and eat here regularly. We have eaten dine-in, carry-out and delivery and all are equally good. I'm not very adventurous with food and usually order the sesame chicken and it never disappoints. My boyfriend gets something different every time and is always happy. The portions are good size and we usually have leftovers for the next day! I like that they are always willing to customize an order, like asking for something noted as being a spicy dish, to be made without the 'spice factor'.

Zach Gissi

Best Chinese Food in the Churchill area, hands down. Delivery is quick and the driver was incredibly friendly.

Girly

Gross. We've tried it twice now, gotten several different items, and they're all bland and not appetizing. Not sure how it has so many positive reviews.

Stay Thirsty My Friends

No complaints. Good service and good food. I like that all their chicken dishes are made with white meat. They make their eggrolls; however, they do not make their dumplings. They have lunch and dinner specials that come with rice (steamed or fried), eggroll, and soup (egg drop, hot and sour, or wonton). Note that the dinner special is only available from 5-6pm. The egg drop and hot and sour soups were good. The egg rolls were hot, fresh, and crispy. The General Tso chicken had a great flavor and was crispy, holding all that thick, dark, and sweet sauce that was like honey. The brocolli was cooked just right and still had a little crunch to it. The restaurant was clean and cozy. They also deliver. I'll definitely be back to try other entrees.

This place is wonderful. Finally a good Chinese resturaunt that delivers and has great menu!!

Michael

Don't hold your breath!! We ordered delivery. It took an hour and it came incomplete. We notified them of their mistake. They said they would send the items that they forgot but it took over 2 hours and they just called to ask if we still wanted it. Horrible customer service!!!!!

SeeMeFly

Awesome. Went based on reviews. We were in the area( not where we live) and wanted Chine food. We found them via Urban Spoon. Ordered takeout. Staff was quick took take order. Gave us table to wait at and even brought out large ice cold waters with a lemon wedge while we waited. Decor was nice. Place was very clean. We loved what we ordered, even after driving for 30 minutes while it sat in the bag. We would return for more.

KDH Phillips

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in San Antonio. Went there when I had a soup craving. Miso soup was amazing. If you can elevate the basic simple dishes, then... Haven't been disappointed yet. Food...amazing. Service...fantastic / attentive. Ambience...very nice.

The Food Critic

The food is amazing.

Chin's Garden. Chin's has become a staple in our home. We take out on a regular basis. The food is excellent, fast, and reasonably priced. The people are the best: hardworking and friendly it is a place you want to spend your money.

Benhunted

Good food, very quick and affordable. Taste was subtle, and that's not a bad thing. Sometimes the flavor can be too overpowering. Good spot, have no hesitation returning when in the area.

Alexander Quiros

The taste was subtle, meaning that it could have used a little more taste. Not more salt, just stronger flavors like garlic, Ginger, or peppers. Service is great and the ambience is good.

MrF

Awsome for to GO food. One of the best places to get Chinese food. Sesame chicken is great. the lunch portions is good amount served with steam or fried rice. The dinner portion of the same meal is enough for 2. Take it home and enjoy it in front of the television.

John R. Schoonover

Best Gyoza(fried dumplings) I've had outside of Asia.

Natalie

Not too impressed. The New York roll was decent, but the salmon sashimi was very fishy tasting. The beef in the Szechuan beef was very chewy, and the fried rice was overcooked and lacked real flavor. The hot and sour soup was good and so were the pan fried dumplings, but not good enough to make me come back.

Jason Arredondo

Totally unimpressed. Fried rice was weak, so was the sashimi salmon. The entrees tasted like a good version of mall Chinese, I'm not goin back

Katie

My Favorite!!. The food is wonderful, the service is great, and the place is cute, but what really makes this place amazing is the people. These people are friendly, and you can tell that they really care about their clients. When I walk in there, they always ask how I am and how my day is going.

Teresa

Good local Chinese food. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing and the decor was quaint and inviting. We arrived after 7:00pm on a Sunday, but there were at least four other parties there when we were seated. My husband ordered a hand roll of sushi--it came out with a neat looking presentation shaped like a cone. The egg rolls we ordered seemed like they may have been previously frozen. My rainbow chicken was great--a version of sweet and sour that had carrots, onions, bell peppers, and pineapple. My husband ordered the Three Treasures in Garlic Sauce, which tasted great and was presented in a unique way on a wonton/crispy tortilla shell bowl. Overall a very good experience--I looked forward to eating the leftovers. One note: if you normally order a "combo meal" when eating at a chinese restaurant (with egg roll, soup, rice), they are only available from 5-6 pm. Otherwise you have to order the egg roll, crab rangoon, and soup extra.
