The old lady, I presume the owner of the restaurant welcomed me so nicely for the to-go order. The egg foo young was delicious!

The Golden Star Cafe is a renowned local landmark in the city's near westside and downtown area, serving the community for over 30 years. Known for its tasty chicken and rice dishes, the cafe offers a diverse menu including Mexican and Chinese cuisine. Customers praise the exceptional quality of the food, particularly the fish and gravy, pork fried rice, and the famous lemon pie. Despite recent changes in service and seating policies, the welcoming atmosphere created by the owner remains a highlight. While parking can be challenging due to ongoing downtown construction, the cafe continues to be a beloved local spot, serving as a piece of San Antonio's history. The Golden Star Special, a light battered and crunchy fish with gravy, and the wonton soup, described as one of the best in the area, are highly recommended by customers. Though the combination fried rice was found lacking in taste, the pepper chicken was praised as very tasty. Overall, the Golden Star Cafe remains a cherished local gem, offering great food and a warm, homely experience.
