Walking back into Gin’s Chinese Restaurant in San Antonio after 25 years felt like stepping into a cherished chapter of my childhood. Growing up, my family would dine here regularly, savoring meals that were not just delicious but genuinely memorable. This is the place I first learned what dumplings were and had my first taste of Sriracha hot sauce. After moving to Houston, life got busy, and time slipped by—but Gin’s never left my mind.
This weekend, I made it back—with my own family in tow. My wife and kids were excited to see the place I’d talked about for years. And to our amazement, the owner remembered me and my family. That moment of recognition, after all these years, reminded me why Gin’s isn’t just a restaurant.
The food? Still extraordinary. Every bite carried the same rich, authentic flavors I remembered. The recipes haven’t changed, and that’s a good thing—they clearly understands the power of tradition. From the crisp egg rolls to the orange chicken, it’s hands down the best Chinese food in Texas.
If you’re anywhere near San Antonio—or even if you’re not—make the trip. Bring your family, make memories, and taste the legacy. Gin’s Chinese Restaurant is a gem that deserves to be experienced by everyone.

Love this place, been eating here since the 70’s, when I was in High School…56 years! Love the food & family that runs it. They are amazing & so is the food. The tradition runs deep & rich, with authentic flavors of Chinese cuisine passed down from family members for generations.

I’ve known the family since they opened up and they never fails. The food is consistent. The atmosphere always friendly family owned hard-working, loving people every time I go mom gives me hugs and loving dad comes out of the kitchen from cooking to make sure everybody’s happy with his smile and since humor, of course the superstar Jhon /sister with a great sense of humor me and my wife would drive many many many miles just to go pick up the food and take take it home and some occasions, loyal customers for life. If you love Chinese food, don’t miss out go give them a shot of taste and you’ll see the difference from the smoked chicken and duck, the amazing amazing, eggplant and beef, green beans, and beef and the crab raccoons and of course the shrimp fried rice to die for as a business owner myself, I’m honored to call them friends as well

i’m from Taiwan and a special opportunity to have dinner here. The owner couple is very kind and their food tastes very authentic. Beef soup noodles, fried dumplings, especially their private Taiwanese cuisine so highly recommend those who are homesick, must come here and enjoy the food of our hometown.

1st time here and dinner was great. Our server was so friendly and attentive. The food was great, my only criticism is on the rice but we did come toward the end of the evening. We loved it and will be back again with our kids! 8/10 recommend ❤️
