Our Story

A Husband-and-Wife Kitchen, Cooking for the Whole Town

Tucked along Hwy 87 in La Vernia, this restaurant runs on the kind of hospitality you can't fake: a husband who cooks and a wife who greets every single guest by name, whether they're grabbing takeout on a Tuesday or settling in for a family dinner. Regulars describe the food as "wonderful," "plentiful," and "hot and delicious every time" — and with a 4.3-star rating built on nearly 400 reviews, it's clear the whole town agrees.

Every dish is cooked to order, which means the wait is part of the experience — and worth it. One guest called their Mongolian beef "the best on the East side of Bexar," while another raved about lemon chicken, crispy egg rolls, and a bowl of egg drop soup so good it stole the show. The menu leans into the classics done right: hearty portions, bold wok flavor, and the comfort of a kitchen that treats every order like it matters.

Whether you're stopping in for the early bird special or calling ahead for a family-sized order to go, expect the same thing every time: friendly service, fresh ingredients, and a plate piled higher than you expected. That's the reputation this little spot has built one order at a time — and why so many guests say they "will definitely be coming back."

“Service is good! I think the lady is the owner, very attentive... Food, for the price, is plentiful and a great price! I ordered lemon chicken and got fried wontons, egg rolls (the bomb!), egg drop soup (super tasteful) along with fried rice.”
