Thai tea is basically orange colored water, same with the matcha. Doesn’t help when there is a whole layer of ice water on top too. The boba is close to car tire texture and is also tasteless. The tofu kind of stinks on the inside and is super firm. Only thing that tasted good was the pickled cucumber and the cheesecake was slightly good. Chicken katsu was ok. At least they had giant fans beaming the seating area.

Loved the buns and poke nachos. So much flavor and everything tasted so fresh. I also got their brown sugar boba. It was so freaking delicious!!!!!

I wouldn’t come here for the food but the experience is ok. It was a bit pricey but expected for a tourist spot. The buns are more chinese style than Japanese, and tasted ok but i wish the chicken karaage bun had more filling. The krab salad bun was ok. I would not recommend the luke warm gyoza, however i do recommend the Tuna poke nachos. I was curious what “sweet green tea” was but it turned out to be unsweetened green tea. Overall it was a ok experience.

🌸✨ Jingu House at the Japanese Tea Garden – A Hidden Gem! 🍱🍵
Wow... just WOW! 🤩 I had the most incredible dining experience at Jingu House and I can't stop thinking about it! Nestled right inside the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden 🌿⛩️, this place is a total vibe!
I ordered a full-on feast and everything was chef’s kiss 👨🍳💋: 🍣 Spicy Crab Roll Sushi – So fresh and packed with flavor! 🥬 Tofu Katsu Bun – Crispy, savory, and that soft bun was perfection! 🌵 The Nopal Bowl – A beautiful San Antonio twist with bold flavors. 🥢 Veggie Spring Rolls – Light, crispy, and served with a delicious dip. 🍰 NY-Style Cheesecake with Matcha Cream – SERIOUSLY next level!! Creamy, rich, and that matcha drizzle? 😍 🥤 Mexican Coca-Cola – The authentic taste hit just right!
The service? 💯 I ordered straight from the table using a QR code, and BAM 💥 my food arrived ASAP! Super fast and friendly staff 🙌 and shoutout to the fans outside — kept the patio cool and refreshing! 🌬️☀️
Didn’t try the bar 🍸 (I don’t drink), but it was poppin’ — clearly a hit with others!
Whether you're a local or visiting, HIGHLY recommend this spot if you're craving something fresh, flavorful, and unique. 🍽️🧡 From the presentation to the taste, they nailed it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 experience! Will definitely be back! 💕🇯🇵

The waitress was very rude, we were waiting for our order and she told us that we can't sit there if we are not going to order food at the next door but she said leave here in a very rude way, I felt bad because I was with my daughter and we were waiting for a long time for drinks, I hope they put a sign where they specify that you can't sit there only for those who buy food because we had no idea and that's why we sat down because it is the same restaurant 😔 Sometimes the way you ask or say things is important to people, especially if it's a tourist area, but she said it very rudely.

Our lunch here was wonderful. We had the potstickers, spring rolls and edamame beans. All were delicious. Service was also very good. I recommend giving this restaurant a try!!

Don't buy any boba here. They r not even close to what boba is. Powdery taste, boba is so hard. It was waste of money. $8 for small drink

Came To Take Photos At The Japanese Garden For My Sister Prom. Came 15minute Before 5pm And Was Told By A Really Rude Lady With No Customers Service Skills That We Cant Go To The Garden Bc It Closed At 5pm and When We Proceeded To Tell Her It’s Not 5pm Yet She Rudely Said They Closed For An Event. We Politely Asked If We Could Take One Photo Taking less Than 5 Minutes. No Where On Google Was An Event Mentioned. We Drove 40 Minutes Just To Be Turned Away Before The Japanese Garden Was Actually Closed. I Would Not Come Eat Here Solely Based On How I Was Treated For Not Being Apart Of The Event

Really upset. Requested a water for me and my mother. We only got one. Our food was brought out and given to the wrong table. The waiter with the pont tilail in a bun grabbed the food from the other table and gave it to us. I asked him if he really just brought us food from the other table, he shrugged his shoulders and said they didn't touch it so it'll be ok.
Blown away by the great experience. Great classic Japanese American dishes with a view. Sitting inside the restaurant looking out at the gorgeous view. It’s almost like a treehouse restaurant. Friendly staff & very hard working I’ve noticed everyone was very productive (not just standing around on their phones) & goes above with their service.

Katsu was bland and you could only taste wasabi on the gyoza. For portions and quality of food, it was overpriced.
