	Reviewed by : Lacey J. On: 1/17/2013 9:20:00 AM Kim-Wah's is our go to place when hanging out in Leon Valley and we need to eat something decent (poor Leon Valley is just overrun with greasy chains.)We always order from the tradition Chinese fare menu, and have not been disappointed. Only thing I don't care for is their spicy mustard. It's too strong for my taste!Edit: I went to Kim-Wah's last night, (01/17/2013) and wanted to make a suggestion... Roasted Duck Noodle Soup! I really like to venture and go for things besides stir fried rice and stir fried noodle dishes, so soups typically catch my eye. This soup was THE BEST ASIAN SOUP I'VE EVER HAD! Very salty, so watch out if that is a problem for you. So much duck, and the flavour was PERFECT!Also, my man for the Singapore Noodles, DELISH!I upped my review to 5 stars. NO SHAME IN MY GAME! :D
	Reviewed by : Angela W. On: 7/22/2012 4:40:00 PM I'm Chinese, and this is not exactly the typical chinese food places I would normally go to. One thing that I do really like about this place is that they do offer a different menu for the native chinese diners so i'm not stuck with sweet and sour chicken and fried rice and hot and sour soup or something. The dish we did order, which was a house special tofu dish, was indeed pleasant, but I think that was about the highlight of my dinner. We also got half of a roasted duck. I've for sure had better duck than this, overly salted and not much meat. On top of all that the dipping sauce is horrible, straight up just a jelly like yellow sweet sauce. I was expecting a soysauce based dipping sauce. But that's not why I gave it 2 stars (I'm thinking 2.5 stars) is because it's way to expensive for what you get. for two people we got 2 things and bubble tea for about 30+ dollars. Which is pretty off the chart for a typical chinese place. When I cook chinese food at home, I spend max 5 dollars on two people with left overs for the second day. This is just not worth it. Overall I'm very disappointed at this "high rated" Chinese restaurantPrice - 2/5Food - 3/5Service - 3/5
	Reviewed by : Kelly A. On: 7/5/2012 1:12:00 AM This is the best Chinese food I've ever had in San Antonio, and I've lived here since 1995. I ordered one of the lunch specials from the Authentic Chinese Lunch Menu, and my Crispy Mango Chicken with a side of steamed rice and 2 tiny eggrolls were all deliciously prepared and perfectly priced at $6.95. My lunch came with a choice of soup, and I opted for my favorite, hot & sour. The soup was phenomenal--light and bright with just the right amount of egg swirled through. Service was pleasant and efficient. I will definitely be back to Kim Wah and look forward to sampling their other authentic lunch specials and another cup of that perfect hot & sour soup.
	Reviewed by : Matthew L. On: 6/8/2012 10:50:00 AM I've never "been" to China. So I can't comment on the authenticity of the food! I can say that I went with a small group of friends, and we each ordered something different and shared! The noodles in the dish I ordered (Singapore Style Noodles) were a little bit dry for my taste, but over all the dish was good. The other two dishes (BBQ Pork Lo Mein, Stuffed Eggplant) were amazingly good. The menu has a lot of options from the really Americanized stuff like Sesame Chicken to Shredded Duck with Mushrooms. It's worth checking out! I'm sure I'll be back with friends again soon.
	Reviewed by : Eugene L. On: 6/7/2012 5:41:00 AM This is the only Chinese restaurant I've been to in S.A. where I've seen actual Chinese people dine in.That aside, I came here on a hot Friday afternoon for dinner.I was seated and a waitress brought a glass of water to my table. Minutes later I placed my order. I requested 2 eggrolls for appetizer and a chicken two style, containing sweet and sour chicken and General Tso chicken with fried rice. It was seated in a hot area and the ice cubes in my water quickly melted. The waitress was super slow in getting my refills and my food. I was becoming impatient and had thoughts about leaving. Finally my eggrolls arrived. I devoured them after waiting forever for my food to arrive. 40 minutes later my waitress refills my water glass.Minutes later my entree arrived. The fried rice wasn't much to write about. The sweet and sour chicken was fair. The General Tso chicken was meh.I've had better Chinese food at Hung Fong, Golden Wok and Formosa Garden. Fortunately I don't have to wait long for my food like here at Kim Wah.However I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Kim Wah just yet. I wanna give them a second chance in hopes that the slowpoke service was just a fluke.

	Reviewed by : Tofu N. On: 2/19/2012 9:08:00 AM If you wish to have authentic Chinese foods and ready to pay more for it, go to Kim Wah. Just try from the "Authentic menu". You won't get disappointed.
	Reviewed by : Aj D. On: 2/16/2012 3:28:00 AM For such a small place they have a really big menu, including an authentic chinese menu. Which is nice, cause I have gotten tired of seeing the same 10 dishes at every single chinese restaurant ( lemon chicken, kunpao, general tso's etc.). So I ordered panfried noodles with chicken and it was delicious. They actually put chinese broccoli on it which most places don't do. My friend ordered the triple delight, and that was good to. However I would not recommend the crab rangoons. On a side note, that name has never made any sense to me. They were a little slow with the service, but I would definitely eat here again.
	Reviewed by : Aaron C. On: 1/6/2012 10:45:00 AM The food is good. The lunch specials are about 7 dollars, so it is not too bad. The taro bubble tea is very good
	Reviewed by : Anonymous On: 2009-08-11 A few years ago my parents heard from my uncle that it's a good restaurant, so my family went there. We were not disappointed. It has many authentic dishes (beef tripe, rice with salted fish, steamed fish, etc) at expected prices. Nowadays, it's one of the restaurants that my family visits whenever I am in town.?

	Reviewed by : dfdsa On: 2007-10-11 This is the most beautiful Chinese restaurant I've been in. The interior design is lavish following designs similar to the Forbidden City. The feel is very oriental. Not only the feel, but the food is wonderful. Taste and presentation of dishes is spectacular, and I know the owner takes pride in providing the best quality. I am Chinese myself and I have to say this is the best Chinese food restaurant!
