37 Best Chinese Restaurants near Universal City

“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.“

“Hidden gem! Right off I10. I had the triple delight Mongolian lunch special beef, chicken and shrimp. I was impressed by the quality of the beef it was a very nice and tender cut. The price out the door with a drink was less than some fast food. Soup came with the fresh crispy wontons too. Impressive.“

“Best food I’ve had in UC!“

“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 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!“

“If you have not tried Panda Inn, it's a must! I have been going there about 25 years, and it's definitely my Asian go-to restaurant. Food is exceptional especially the veggie egg foo young (my favorite). An array of delicious dishes that will never disappoint. The staff is great and they welcome you like you're family. Great value, plus a GREAT meal -- you cannot beat that!!!“

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

“I ordered the General Tso’s Chicken and overall had a very good experience. The flavor was on point, the texture was good, and the presentation was excellent — everything looked fresh and well put together. The sauce had a great balance and really carried the dish.
The fried rice wasn’t quite authentic Chinese-style fried rice, and the chicken itself could have been a slightly better quality cut, but neither issue took away from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Everything else was really well done.
I’d definitely order from Chef Joe’s Asian Cuisine again, especially for the flavor and presentation.👍🏽😌“

“This Panda Express sets the gold standard for high-volume dining. Despite the constant rush, the team operates with impressive precision and grace. A huge thank you to the whole team, whose commitment to food quality and upbeat attitude makes every visit a pleasure. Truly the best location in the area!“

“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!“

“I usally get the sweet n sour chicken but wanted to try the beef n brocolli. I ask the waiter ifbit has water chestnut because i dont like it stir fried in my food. AND he described the beef n brocolli as tender beef in a savory sweet gravy with fresh carrots and brocolli and he sold me but the actual plate amazing. Lunch specials 12 bucks with a soup and egg roll. Also both delicious.
This is how waiters are suppose describe a plate . Awesome job!“

“I'm from NY and grew up with the best Chinese restaurants around. This place is by far the best I've found West of the Mississippi that's like the food from the NY restaurants. Their Eggplant in Garlic Sauce is to die for. That's my go to dish along with Hot and Sour Soup.“

“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“

“This was my first time at this restaurant. I ordered pick up. It was ready VERY quickly.
Restaurant was extremely clean and smelled really good. My food was AMAZING! So fresh! Very well seasoned and the portions were very nice! I think I have found my new favorite Chinese spot! Would definitely recommend and I will keep 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 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.“

“Hello ! This place hands down the best. As a first time customer I was not disappointed at all. I’m new to the area and this place is amazing. He is so sweet! & the food is top tier.They have been around for 14yrs ! The best Chinese food I’ve had here in San Antonio, everything on the menu is a hit !
What you see is the 2 - 2 entrées in very sturdy containers, 2 boxes of fried rice & a side of fried dumplings 😋😋😋😋“

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

“Our family of six visited Sakura Asian Cuisine today, and from the moment we walked in, we were genuinely impressed. The owner personally greeted us and was incredibly warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for a great dining experience. You can truly feel the care and pride they put into their restaurant.
The service was outstanding—attentive without being overbearing. Our drinks were always refilled, requests were handled quickly, and the staff made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of the entire time, which is no small feat with a larger family.
Now, the food—wow. Every dish arrived beautifully presented, packed with bold, delicious flavor, and served in very generous portions. The quality of the food far exceeded the price, making it an incredible value. You can tell everything is prepared with care, and each bite was satisfying and fresh.
It’s not often that a restaurant checks all the boxes: friendly ownership, excellent service, great prices, and flavorful food—but Sakura Asian Cuisine truly does. We all left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to order next time.
This is definitely a place we will be returning to, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience. Sakura Asian Cuisine has earned a loyal family of customers!“

“I’m so glad I found this little gem close to home. I had the chicken Pho. 10/10 Hubby had chicken fried rice and it was delicious as well. Restaurant was tidy and adorable! Will definitely be back to try other items. Spent $35 (food $25 and tipped $10) total for 2 people. Not bad at all. 🤩“

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

“Katie is a powerhouse of an employee omfg. Homegirl is managing the line, stocking up the drink station, and cleaning the restaurant in a span of a few minutes. There’s going to be a wait to get the more popular food items if there’s a rush but the folks communicate well to indicate that.“

“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.“

“I did not go to Panda Express because the toilets were staging a full rebellion. Nothing says authentic dining adventure like plumbing drama before the orange chicken.

From what I saw through the window, the food looked ready for greatness while the restroom looked ready for a plumber with battle experience. The smell outside was doing its own interpretation of “Kung Pao.”

Five stars for honesty, effort, and the unforgettable experience of deciding to eat somewhere else.“

“I *always* order the szechuan tofu even when I was still eating meat because it's just that good. I like to request it with extra broccoli because the heads soak up all that delicious juice and explode in your mouth. If you order this, I suggest using the leftover juice and tofu to steam some rice. I looove this dish 😋
My dad always orders either the beef and broccoli or the general tso's (he refuses chopsticks so he can spoon it into his mouth faster 😹)
Lady is always quick and nice, and the restaurant is a typical hole-in-the-wall hidden gem. my only complaint is there's no delivery or dd/ubereats option.“

“After having a terrible experience at the Panda Express on Walzem, I came to this location (Panda Express on Rittiman). the difference was unbelievable and the difference was night and day. The drive‑thru employee here treated me with respect, patience, and professionalism. They understood me perfectly and made me feel valued as a customer. This is what real customer service looks like. Thank you for showing the level of service the other location failed to provide.“

“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.“

“Wow! This place should be famous! Their menu offers everything you could ever want: pork, seafood, beef, chicken and vegetarian dishes..
Starting with delicious soup, I had Hunan chicken and my brother had sweet and sour pork. The entrees include fried or steamed rice and a crispy egg roll .
We were both overwhelmed by deliciousness.
Our portions were enough for two meals.
Our hostess was charming and helpful.
Believe it or not, each meal was only $14!!!
I love this restaurant! I REALLY love it❣️“

“Always fresh, always a smile on the CO workers faces. The new manager is a gem and good leader. Is your mad it takes long it's because like 20 people in line and it's being made fresh. There's a Popeyes across the street, I'm sure they'll give you a premade sitting under the warmer within a minute“

“Definitely recommend them“

“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!“

“The food is good but they STILL don’t have any heat. Went there a while back and thought no heat was a minor set back and repairs would be made. Its a few months later and they haven’t had it fixed. Won’t go back til summer. The food was served hot but was barely room temp just moments later because it was so cold in the restaurant. Not good.“

“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.“

“Awesome service provided by Alma at the Lins on Loop 410. She was very attentive and made the overall experience fantastic. Great food!“

“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.“

“Food is good, but the lady who took my order has a bad attitude, she looks Hispanic but the receipt says IEM YANG. I always order the same thing, bourbon chicken and fried rice. When I pulled up she came out and said they only had two things ready I told her I didn’t mind waiting, she said it would be about 20 minutes I said no problem, I paid for my food and less then 5 minutes my food was ready which I was happy about. Her attitude needs to change she is real snappy and rushed me out of there.“
