Chinese Restaurants near San Marcos

“I had 2 items with fried rice plate for $9.99. My choice was chicken with zucchini and mushroom and spicy chicken with jalapeno. The zucchini is still crunchy and not mushy. The chicken is all white meat and very tender. They are actually pretty good at being in a food court. I think it is the best Chinese food you can find in New Braunfels and San Marcos area unless you want to make a trip to Austin. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. You get a nice quality of food for the price. The two ladies work there are very friendly. The offer me sample immediately when they saw me. The only complaint I have is fried rice are a little bit heavy with soy sauce and kind of salty to me.“

“Every time I’ve gone here, my food has been made hastily and has had amazing quality- despite the rushes. Even my delivery orders have always been amazing. And everyone is so nice
I never review anything but this Panda definitely deserves its stars“

“We had Walnut shrimp and it was delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked. Extremely clean. Wonderful contemporary atmosphere. Fast service. We loved it and look forward to the next time. Great job!!!“

“These Native New Yorkers were pleasantly surprised! Best in San Marcos, don’t let the poor reviews deter you. The fish and nigiri were fresh and delectable. Good balance of rice to fish ratio. My hubby was raving about the Firefly squid and Hokkaido uni - both which are extremely rare to procure and execute.

Flavor profiles were stronger in nigiri than the rolls in our opinion. However, we’re biased since we gravitate towards nigiri and sashimi more. The chutoro and otoro were good as well, nice scoring skills - melts in your mouth butter type. Oysters were on point too and dressed well. It’s refreshing to have quality seafood here in Texas. Give them a try!“

“I just ordered pick up and I’m very satisfied with my experience and food. The employees were very kind and the restaurant is super cute. I’m eating the pad see ew and rangoons and the food has me very very happy“

“Ordered 1/2lb shrimp, 1/2lb black muscles. After peeling and taking shells off this is what I was left with. What a rip off. From KAsian Garden. Never again. They are worse than Starbucks“

“First time here, employees are very nice and our waiter made sure we had our drinks refilled when closed to empty. Food is good, not great but enough to make me and my boyfriend full and satisfied. Nice atmosphere, we just didn't like the same song on repeat, tho it's not that bad. Very much worth the price, I feel as though people that haven't visited these kinds of places are the ones leaving all the bad reviews because as far as Asian buffets go it's pretty standard if not even a little better.“

“Great food and excellent service.“

Good food, with room to improve on service

We stopped by Panda Express in Kyle and had a pretty good experience overall. The food was fresh—my bowl with SweetFire Chicken and Fried Rice was delicious and well-balanced, and the Cheese Rangoons were crispy and flavorful. My wife’s bowl, however, had noticeably very little meat and lots of rice, which felt a bit off in comparison.

The restaurant was clean, and the team in the kitchen was moving quickly, especially handling drive-thru orders. That said, there were a few employees standing near the register while we waited to be served. As shown in the photo, there was only one customer in front of us, yet three employees appeared unoccupied at the counter. It gave the impression that front-line service could have been a bit more efficient.

When we got to the register, I said hello to the cashier (Janis), but didn’t receive a greeting back. While that’s a small thing, a friendly acknowledgment really sets the tone for good service.

I still enjoy coming to this location and will continue to support it. I’m sharing this feedback in hopes that management sees it as an opportunity to strengthen customer service and improve the overall experience.“
