Royal Inn Oriental Cuisine, San Antonio, Texas, Asian Restaurant Details

Food:

Great stuff over here... ive tried like 8 other places on this side of town and Royal Inn is by far the best... everything I've tried has been good and the staff is cool as well... try the ribs they're great

Food:

If I could I'd give this place 0 stars. Spacious? Who are you trying to fool? This place is cramped with the tables WAY too close together you can feel other people's breath. I'd recommend getting rid of some tables or rearranging it differently to where you can't hear every ones conversations so clearly and you can actually walk through the nonexistent aisles you guys have. Don't even get me started on your crappy food. The lemon chicken is tough like over cooked steak and was served with nasty rice and orange sauce. It's called lemon chicken for a reason. Serve it with lemon sauce. It was disgusting I didn't even eat anything on my plate except the decent egg drop soup and "crabmeat" rangoon. It didn't even have crabmeat in it. Lol never going to this place again. Highly DONT RECCOMEND. Went home hungry and ended up eating a frozen pizza that was way better than this place. Waste of money and time.

Food:

Very clean and nice appearance along with great service. On a few occasions my crab rangoons were so cooked the filling was not present. The waiter quickly had a new order out for me, which rectified the issue. Combination lo mein and orange chicken are my go to's. I'd advise caution with the soups, they're always piping hot when brought out.

Food:

Peppery shrimp a family favorite. Everything on the menu is great. Reasonable prices with early bird specials. The best part is the staff. Tex takes a special interest in the kids, makes them feel special and the cook/owner comes out to meet the guests.

Food:

I thought I saw Ming Tsai when we walked in the place, but it was just the Asian phenotype that made up the wait help and the individual that greeted us with a welcoming smile. The dining room is nice and bright with nary a lacquered folded fan nor golden dragon statue in evidence. The seating area has an inviting comfortable elegance to it that easily draws you in.

There were a number of lunch specials in addition to the regular lunch menu. First time here and an impossible number of entrees to chose from. Included with all the lunches is a choice of soup; egg drop, wonton, or hot and sour soup, eggroll or crab rangoon, and fried or steamed rice. Noodle dishes do not come with rice.

Service is snappy and refills are on time. Wonton soup was as good as any I have had. The lo mein with soft noodles was scrumptious with a slightly smokey flavor from the wok and prepared with plenty of protein including shrimp, chicken and beef. The shrimp were the least favorite of the ingredients . . . just not the taste of fresh gulf shrimp. Beef and chicken were tender and juicy. The eggroll was really a crunchy spring roll that was tasty and perfectly done. Portions are generous and inexpensive for lunch.

Believe all the positive reviews you see here as they are on the money. Now that we know, will be anxious to try one of the many other lunch specials on the menu. available.
