Restaurants in Universal City

“Exactly what a brewery should be. Great beer, quality food, with a welcoming open taproom and friendly staff. An instant favorite for me.”

“Supporting small family owned businesses is one of my favorite things to do, and Big Aloha's Ali'i Cove absolutely delivered! We recently used their catering menu for a special gathering, and from start to finish, the customer service was phenomenal. They even worked with our Sunday event date to make everything happen. The food was fresh, authentic, and delicious so much so the teri beef, fried noodles, mochiko chicken, mac salad, and cupcakes disappeared fast. Unfortunately, the only pictures I managed to take were of the cupcakes because everyone was too busy enjoying the food. That's probably the best compliment a caterer can receive! If you're looking to add something different, flavorful, and authentic to your table, I highly recommend giving them a try. It's always rewarding to support a local family business that takes such pride in what they do. You'll find them right here in Universal City off Pat Booker Road. Let's continue supporting the small businesses that help make our community special. Mahalo Big Aloha's Ali'i Cove 🌺”

“Everything was amazing from start to finish! Bella Sera on Pat Booker is an absolute gem. From the moment we sat down, we were impressed. The garlic knots came out warm and flavorful, perfectly setting the tone. The soup was rich and comforting, and the Caesar salad was crisp and fresh with just the right amount of dressing. I had the baked ziti for my entrée, and it was everything you want in classic Italian comfort food, cheesy, saucy, and satisfying. And to top it all off, the cannoli was perfection: crisp shell, creamy filling, just sweet enough. It was a wonderful combination of flavors and portions were so generous I had plenty to take home. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back!”

“The food is so amazing here . The workers are also always so nice and welcoming when I come in”

“We had an early dinner this afternoon. The food was fabulous. We had the shrimp and catfish. The food was exceptionally fresh, the batter they use is wonderful and the coleslaw is about the best I’ve eaten in my 74 years. The food was hot and served quickly and the waitstaff is phenomenal. The place is clean and everyone was so gracious. Highly recommend!!”

“We loved the environment (cultural music, art and videos), the service and the food!! We ordered the combination fried rice of chicken and tofu with the spicy sauce on the side. Also ordered the Ban Chay, the vegetarian vermicelli soup in Thai broth. To drink we ordered two black boba teas, one mango and the other jasmine milk tea. And let me say the quality of the flavor and the freshness of the chicken and vegetables will have us going back to try more of the menu😍😍🙏🙏🙏 Thank y'all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Go Vegan San Antonio is an absolute gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish I’ve tried has been packed with delicious, well-balanced flavors that make you forget you’re even eating vegan—it’s just good food, period. The staff is warm, welcoming, and happy to answer questions or make recommendations, which really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both a quick bite or a leisurely meal. Whether you’re a long-time vegan, trying plant-based for the first time, or just someone who appreciates tasty, wholesome food, this place is a must-visit in San Antonio!”

“Great place to get your snack fix like ice cream hot Cheeto with cheese mangonadas corn in a cup. you name it totally recommend it great pricing.”

“Yes, I would recommend them, but they lost me as a customer on Monday. A couple of weeks ago, I was having a baker's crisis. I had a particular order for a cake, and I could not remember where my cake pans were because our shop typically specializes in cupcakes, so I went to an over-the-top cake shop to get some cake pans. Before I purchased them, I asked the young lady if I could return them because I might not need them if I found mine. She said yes, so I went ahead with the purchase. Luckily, I was able to find my pans. So, on Monday, I went back to the over-the-top cake shop to try to return them. Before looking inside the bag, the lady behind the counter told me loudly, "Oh no, we will not take any returns." I honestly thought she was joking with me at first. LOL, but it turns out she was not. She proceeded to show me the receipt that clearly stated all sales are final. I apologized and told her. Unfortunately, I did not look at the receipt because I asked and took the young lady at her word. She asked me for the young lady's name, and I said I did not get her name because I did not assume she would give me the wrong information. I said, okay, I understand, and shame on me for not getting the details. But is there a way I can get a store credit since I buy most of my supplies there? Without hesitation, she said we won't do that either. I struggled with that because these were unused cake pans, and the labels remained intact. They have cake pans on shelves that they could have quickly restocked. I struggled because I bet many small businesses or self-employed bakers purchase our supplies there, and most of us do not have the luxury of spending money unnecessarily. At this point, it is not about the pans but the principle. Again, I understand their position if the items had been opened or used. Today, most reputable businesses have a return policy and not a Gotcha practice. So, I will return to ordering my supplies from Amazon, which is much more convenient for me. I would like to support local businesses if possible. But not when that support is not reciprocated. So buyers, beware!”

“Great place to chill and watch the games or listen to live music”

“AMAZING!!! Corn in a cup is actual corn not from a Can!!! I will DEFINITELY Return!!!”

“Had an absolute blast! Came in from Austin for a good friend’s birthday and this place did not disappoint. The staff was fantastic, the atmosphere was on point, and the drinks? Let’s just say they understood the assignment.”

“Been there just 3x..each time I had a blast, looking for a Post to join, been a Legionare only 3months, this place just has that...wanna come back... feel.. Daniel Weems..CES... USAF... Prime Beef!”

“I just started using this car wash a few months back and hands down I will drive here every time I need a car wash. Devin and the team are amazing always greets with a smile and customer service oriented.”

“LOVE OTG! Our weekly go-to coffee treat! Friendly staff too!”

“Payton provides THE BEST customer service, every time I order the bowl, at the flaming bird. He’s always positive and friendly, and most of all prompt. Will continue coming back, we appreciate him.”

“It never about the sandwich but it's the service! Whoever is managing is doing better was before, it should run for the best place for subway for Texas or make Starbucks nervous from next door. But most of all, the place is clean and fast friendly service. Love the team.”

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.”

“Any of their breakfast plates.”

“We usually go every Friday after school for a treat to end the week. We didn’t make it last night so we went today. Asked for flat tops and only got 1. Asked for a chocolate Bahama mama Rama and got vanilla. We usually have no issues but disappointed in todays experience.”

“That's really good for the kids, is not too pricey? And a lot of people can pass good time in their without spending so much money The only one”

“Absolutely love China Moon! I’ve been here multiple times and they never disappoint. The food is consistently delicious, but what really sets them apart is the hospitality. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel at home, and it truly shows. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food with such a warm, personal touch. A hidden gem in Universal City.”
