Van's Restaurant, San Antonio, Texas, Chinese Restaurant Details

Food:

At this "reliable", "old-school" Pan-Asian, the biggest surprise isn't the food – it's the 200-plus varieties of wines on offer; though it's set in an unassuming Northeast Side storefront, the inside impresses with an immense fish tank and racks of wine running the length of the space.

Food:

Great food. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food tasted. We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken was great in both meals. The portion sizes were large enough for two people per meal.

Food:

The food was great and we were served big portions, (although it resembled Americanized Chinese food more than Vietnamese) but the service was awful. The server seemed annoyed with us from the start, didn't introduce himself or anything, just asked what we wanted. I mispronounced something and he grimaced, acting like he didn't know what I was asking for, even though I was pointing to it (!!). Then he disappeared and we didn't see him again the rest of the time we were there.

Food:

First place, everyday hours are 11:00am to 9:00pm. That was asked of me by the staff.
Okay now for the review. Just amazing. My dad and I were just wondering around the area and happened to find this place because it was still open. We approached the counter and asked a waiter to be seated, and he said that we could sit anywhere, which is actually a luxury for me since I've never been to a restaurant that has given us a choice.
Next, he gave us our menus, and after we asked about the dinner option, he showed us that he was very knowledgeable about it. He offered suggestions based on our preferences that we could not be happier with.
Oh, also, a side note: some of their foods have not been selling so well, so they were removed from the menu, though they have yet to update it. Just so everyone knows.
And by the way, my waiter's name is Tommy. He is very patient, calm, and displayed a very professional attitude toward us. If you happen to have him serve you during your visit there, then everything will go smoothly from the moment you greet him to the moment you walk out.

Food:

The food was so good, only issue was finding the Pho on the Chinese side of the menu. The staff is very friendly and accommodating for larger groups.

Food:

Went with three friends, I thought is was pretty good, good portions, price not bad. If it gets crowded, its probably because AT&T building is just donw the street. Speaking of down the street, if you need more oriental, there is another one right next to it, and two or three up and down broadway st..
