36 Best Chinese Restaurants near Universal City

“The food here is simply delightful. Typically, the sauces can be heavy and filling 8n themselves. Here, after trying practically everything on their menu, the sauces are light, vegetables are always firm and crunchy, and the meats are plentiful within the offerings.

I had the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, which was delicious (it could have been a little more spicy for my tastes, but they provided chili sauce, which was fine), good sized shrimp, hot n sour soup and 2 egg rolls w/fried rice. Definitely required a to go box, all for 12.00. I was stuffed and a little shocked at the price.

Definitely going to keep returning for this little gem of a spot.“

“Haven't been here in years . Feel bad after getting such a great meal. We had general tsao chicken and sweet and sour pork and pork fried rice . We we ended up with 5 meals each because portions were so huge. Breading was great and they made the chicken extra hot in request. Definitely won't be so long until my next visit.“

“Shang-Hai never disappoints! The food is always fresh and delicious! The service is spot on and they do great combination plates. Been going there for a long while now. Anytime we try a different place, we get disappointed and ask why we cheated on our Shang-Hai! Lol! Nothing but good things to say about this place! Great food portions too.

Update: I always get the sweet and sour chicken and Pepper Steak with fried rice and egg roll. The egg rolls are so so good. We also order the Rangoon and they are great. My husband enjoys the hot and sour soup and I love both the egg drop soup and the wonton soup. The tea is delicious too.“

“A Remarkable Dining Experience – Wok This Way Sets the Standard Wok This Way is an absolute gem that exceeded all my expectations, both in terms of food quality and service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel instantly at home. The restaurant’s ambiance is a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary, creating a cozy yet vibrant setting that perfectly complements the delicious cuisine. The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was prepared with a level of care and precision that showcased authentic Asian flavors while incorporating modern twists. The variety on the menu was impressive, offering everything from classic favorites to unique chef specials. We sampled a few different dishes, including the savory Kung Pao chicken, the aromatic Thai basil stir-fry, and a perfectly crispy spring roll appetizer – each one was a standout in its own right. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and the freshness of the ingredients truly shined through. You can tell the kitchen team is passionate about their craft, and it reflects in the quality of every bite. What truly elevated the experience at Wok This Way, however, was the top-tier service. Ricky, who not only served us but is also the owner, brought a level of hospitality that was both professional and heartfelt. His attention to detail was exceptional – he made sure our glasses were never empty, checked in to see how we were enjoying each course, and even took the time to share stories about the restaurant’s journey. It’s rare to come across a place where the owner takes such a hands-on approach, and it made our visit feel incredibly personal and special. Ricky’s genuine kindness and dedication to providing an outstanding dining experience were truly a blessing. Overall, Wok This Way offers more than just a meal – it delivers an experience that lingers long after you’ve left. The combination of outstanding food, an inviting atmosphere, and remarkable service creates a dining destination that sets a high standard. For anyone looking to indulge in delicious Asian cuisine served with a side of heartfelt hospitality, Wok This Way should be at the top of your list. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try more of the mouthwatering dishes on their menu!“

“My parents brought home leftovers for me to try after YEARS of them looking for a good Chinese restaurant. It's unfortunate we have to go all the way to San Antonio for it BUT holy crap this is so delicious!!!!! We all agree its worth the drive for this food. Portions are huge and definitely get your money's worth. Please open a second location south of Austin 🤣
Seriously though, amazing food, 10/10 recommend!!!!!“

“This is the best place ever I love the pepper chicken omg really thankful they are in Gainesville! Amazing!“

“Pleasantly surprised! Food, customer service & prices were very good. The ladies working are extremely focused on AWESOME customer service!!

We tried 2 meals off the daily $11.99 special. The Sesame Chicken with fried rice, a crab rangoon & the hot & sour soup & the Chicken Broccoli with steamed rice, a crab rangoon & hot & sour soup. Both were served hot, fresh & delicious. The food is not overly salty nor drowned in soy sauce. Everything was well balanced & their tea was delicious. We will definitely visit again & try different meals.“

“1st time eating at China Sun! First impression was on the cleanliness of the restaurant! Awesome. Then our server was so nice. The food was the best we’ve had in a while. Came out steaming hot and plentiful. Prices were fair. We’ll definitely be back!“

“had it for the first time tonight and everything was so good. I got the Hawaiian fried rice which was delicious and the vegetable bao buns were soft and flavorful. You get a lot of food for the price so for me and my family it was worth it. Will definitely return to try more things“

“The service here is amazing. The pho tasted so good and I had some scallops with shrimp and veggies with a side of white rice that came with it and it came to a total of 30 bucks :) they're open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. The place is very clean and even the cook came up to our table and made sure we were taken care of without being annoying (some places check on you too often) we'd totally come back again!“

“Was on my way to Sprouts and wanted a quick bite, wasn't expecting such an amazing meal. Pan Fried Dumplings were crisped to perfection and Pork Lo Mein had so much meat in it I was able to take some home and share with my pup (she approves). Got a coconut boba tea to go but you must try their fruit flavored teas, I got peach and hubby got strawberry. They are downright delectable. Oh! The egg rolls were my favorite because they were similar to spring rolls, thin rice paper and crispy. Definitely ordering extra next time.“

“Great food and relaxing ambiance. My wife and I enjoyed our Friday night here and we had an awesome experience!“

“My go-to for Chinese in this area. While some places might beat them out on quality, their generous portions and reasonable pricing make them a solid choice. Particularly the lemon chicken, general tsao's chicken, as well as their egg rolls, keep bringing me back.“

“Sakura is a great local business. Their food quality is pretty consistently fresh and tasty. They could work on their service when they have fewer patrons, but overall I have felt very welcome each visit and I hope for their continued success!“

“This place just oozes authenticity and cleanliness. Kitchen in full visibility of the front with the professionals at work hiding nothing, and putting out absolutely awesome food. Massive portions, cheap prices, insane flavor. Front register employee was also very nice, 10/10 would recommend, will be coming back.“

“My favorite dish is shrimp egg Foo young in magic china cooks it better than anybody else. My second favorite favorite dish there is the sesame chicken but I like mine with pineapple. Price is $9.95, But if the price quote over the phone was given correctly and now it becomes a $16 dish which I find ludicrous. I wonder if Jackie the owner knows about this.“

“I've always been curious about this place since we pass by it after getting groceries. I love Pho, so one day I figured I should give this place a try. I walked in and was greeted with excellent service. I ordered the Chicken Pho and regular Thai Tea (no Boba), all to go. They told me it would be about 10min to get ready, so I sat down in the nearby waiting area. I wasn't in any rush and wasn't keeping track of time, so the speed was of no concern to me... but it definitely felt like it was less than 10min, which was nice.

The Chicken Pho was very delicious! With it being ordered to-go, I could put in as much or as little of any of what they provided to me into the broth, which was quite nice. I did add a fair amount of the red sauce they provided to help enhance the flavor and give the Pho a little heat to it, which was wonderful. Usually, when I get Pho, I can never finish it all and eat the remaining amount later, but this time I ate it all! I was craving it more than I thought, I guess, haha!

The Thai Tea (no Boba) reminded me of my trip to Thailand with the Thai Tea I had there. It's that good! If any place serves Thai Tea, I will gladly order it because it's my absolute favorite drink now. The fact that the first sip of it put me back in my memories of touring the markets of Ko Kret and buying a cup of Thai Tea from a local there... that's how you know it's good!

I highly recommend and definitely look forward to visiting again! :)“

“I picked up lunch from Golden Wok in the Shell gas station on Eisenhower Rd & Midcrown Dr. I should have called it in but I didn’t. Ordered the sweet n sour pork and lemon chicken with steamed rice. Also ordered the chicken Lo Mein, All plates were made fresh and tasted great. Good portions as well, and those were the lunch plates, the dinner plates are bigger. They have a couple of tables to eat at but they were piled with their kitchen stock. I’d order from there again.“

“I will recommend yes, as a price friendly, tasty food but my last visit was less than pleasing. I ordered cashew chicken and the plate was over 50% celery(no joke) and the fried rice wasnt more than a beige tinted white rice that had no flavor. Its been awhile since I had been there but def remember the dishes being better in the past.“

“I feel like this is a hidden gem! I went through the drive thru and the customer service was amazing! I ordered on the app and saw on the menu they had sweet and sour chicken so they let me exchange it, I really appreciate it and I will be back! (PLEASE ADD SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN TO THE APP)“

“Amazing service. Amazing food. Some of the most authentic Korean dishes I've had. I believe the owner served us, he was amazing.“

“I had an awesome meal at Panda Express! The Orange Chicken was crispy and perfectly coated in that sweet and tangy sauce—definitely a favorite. The Chow Mein was super flavorful and had just the right balance of veggies and noodles. The portions were generous, and everything was fresh and hot. Plus, the service was quick and friendly. Definitely hitting the spot for a satisfying, no-fuss meal! Highly recommend it!“

“First time back in a while. I went inside because I needed time to research the menu. You were out of one item so I had to make a call. Not a problem and the person who waited on me, Samuel, was not only very patient, but actually suggested the same item my wife typed in her text.

Very generous servings, but please don’t take it wrong and reduce the portions.

Great experience, again thanks to Samuel.“

“Our 1st time in this restaurant. We've been in San Antonio for 2 years now. This place is a stand alone building. By far is the best Pho we have tasted in San Antonio. We were greeted with 2 smiling faces. There was 1 gentle man sitting eating when we got there. Our server was more than happy to answer questions about what we ordering. We had Pho and egg rolls, and they were delicious. We ordered Egg Foo Young to go. As we sat there I tell my husband we may be short in giving a tip. I said to him that if I had to sit there and wait for him to come back from home to get cash, then I will. The service given to us was an A+. Thank you ladies for your awesome service. Just a quick add on. Our server said to us that if we didn't have enough cash we could come back the next day. Love ❤️ ❤️ you Miss for saying that thank you. They don't do credit cards, just cash or check. We will definitely be back ladies.“

“Went their to get my food as always I get a plate with dbl chow and a side of orange chicken I just got home to see the girl didn’t even bother to remember to give me orange chicken I don’t know if they have a new squad or what but this is ridiculous have the decency to at least check before you make me spend $40 on my food!“

“I love the variety on the menu, traditional americanized Chinese dishes. The food is always piping hot. My favorite dish is the teriyaki chicken. You can spend anywhere from $30 to $60 bucks here and it's always worth it you'll have something left over I mess with feeding a good size group which is adequate. Very quick & polite.“

“We stopped by Panda Express yesterday, and even though it was pretty busy, the experience was great thanks to the exceptional service we received. I believe our server’s name was Kaitlyn, and she absolutely made the visit memorable. She handled the rush with a great attitude, moving quickly while still making each customer feel acknowledged and appreciated.

I ordered the bigger plate with half super greens and half chow mein, along with double shrimp and some chicken. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was fresh and delicious. Kaitlyn made sure my order was exactly how I wanted it and provided excellent customer service from start to finish.

It’s rare these days to come across someone who brings such positive energy, especially during a busy shift. Kaitlyn really went above and beyond, and because of her, we will definitely be coming back the next time we get that Panda Express craving. Thank you, Kaitlyn! You made our day.“

“Ordered via Doordash and food came out correct, well cooked and of proper portions. Sometimes you dont know what you're going to get when you order to go/ delivery so really appreciated the job well done. The super green veggies weren't oily at all and chicken teriyaki was well portioned. Felt healthy to be frank since not oily or sugary like some other Chinese dishes.“

“Enjoyed a delicious meal tonight at Beijing House with Vegetable Lomein Noodles, chicken wings & Egg Roll. It was loaded with plenty of veges. a large plate & serving. We will be back again to try more dishes.“

“This place is fabulous. when we moved to this side of town, we needed a new Asian place to eat at. My husband and I chose to eat here and by the first bite, were amazed. With covid, we haven't eaten in since BUT we have ordered takeout MANY times. Let me tell you, WHILE THE FOOD IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING, the service.. genuine, humanly good service of these folks is just.. beautiful. Theyre seriously so nice. Which honestly, makes this one of our go to spots and we will consistently recommend this place to others.“

“This was THE best food I have had in my entire life, the staff was so incredibly friendly, they let you sample foods aswell.
all the options are peanut free so this spot is great for those with peanut allergies, the boba was LIFE CHANGING.
the prices were IMMACULATE me and another person got a meal that filled our stomachs for only $24 with drinks“

“I would too thank the king family for always being supportive towards Brooks BbQ. They are amazing owners of the ying king center. And landlords. They are very helpful and understanding. The we were there they help us out every step of the way through the pandemic they were very understanding of payments due two business was slow. I recommend anyone that want lease there facility they are awesome people may God bless them always. I would like to thank them very much.“

“rare steak pho was very lovely and fresh, very chill atmosphere, really nice informative server.. a hidden gem!“

“Food is what it is. Good for fast food. However, do not go through drive thru. I have gone thru drive thru several times and it seems you get shortchanged on the food. Such as if you get a beef and broccoli, you get all broccoli and a few pieces of meat, or you get containers not full to the top with food. However, when you go in and are standing in front of them it's a totally different story, you get your money's worth.“

“Great variety of tasty food with friendly staff and atmosphere“

“The food is consistently delicious. The service is great, and the employees are always cheerful!“
