We visited The China Bowl Restaurant today for some of the finest Chinese Food we’ve had in quite some time. The Owner met us upon arrival and the service is only equaled by that of the finest 5 Star restaurants. A Real Class Act!!!!

This has been our favorite place that we weigh all others against, until today. I don’t know what happened, but the food quality has taken a dive. Hopefully, this is a one time thing and not a trend. The egg drop soup was no where near as “eggy” as before. The fried rice had sizable chunks of undercooked onion in it. The sweet and sour pork was more dry than moist. The square dinner plates have been replaced by oval ones with no lip on them, which would have been fine, but the black bean sauce on the Basil Chicken was soooo thin, it pooled and ran over the edge of the plate and made a river across the table toward my husband. I had to go get extra napkins to stop the flow. Also the Basil Chicken (which I had been told was the same as the Thai Basil Chicken on the lunch menu) had no heat unless I bit into one of the jalapenos on the plate. Needless to say, we were disappointed with our long awaited road trip to Bandera for the best Chinese food in several counties. We heard new ownership? Perhaps new chef? Not sure, but we’ll give it one more try before we search for a new favorite. In the past it has been 5 stars all the way. We hope to see it return soon!

The service is expedient, the food is pretty good. I had the house rice and it was delicious. The egg foojoung is good and presentable. The facilities are in very good condition. The reason I give 4 stars is because of the annoying flies I encountered while at the restaurant, other than that you will have an overall good experience. If you are visiting check this place out. It will not break your wallet.

We had an excellent meal here last night. It wasn’t perfect but kind of unexpected… We had a Wonton soup that wasn’t quite traditional, lots of greens/veggies on top that were crunchy and quite nice since being in town here eating a lot of foods that don’t have a big vegetable presence. The calamari was nice and tender but the breading was not crunchy. ( The waitress later told us we could request it to be fried crunchier). The highlight of my meal was the Garlic Shrimp. This dish literally had everyone in the restaurant asking what it was….a LOUD sizzling could be heard from across the room and the dish was “popping” and “crackling” as the waitress carried it high above her. She actually wouldn’t serve it to me until it had settled down….I ordered mine with extra spice and it was just excellent. The veggies we’re served steamed on the side and all you had to do was set them on the sizzling plate to heat them up a little more in the sauce. The shrimp we’re well cooked and flavorful. Watch your tongue though, that plate stays hot for a long time!!! Husband had Garlic chicken and pork egg foo young and also enjoyed his entrees. I wasn’t super impressed with the egg foo young/didn’t care for the gravy, slightly sweet to me but there were big pieces of meat present. The service was perfect and even servers that weren’t waiting on us, would check on us. The lack of five stars is due to the atmosphere. “New” country music was playing (yuk), would have preferred some thing more Zen. Husband said they could jazz up the decor and it would be perfect. Overall, this place was darn good!

Been here 3 times now, never disappoints. Always delicious and reasonable prices. Clean and spacious. Always welcomed with smiling and friendly staff. Love their funny quick come backs. Usually have the General Tso’s Chicken, always delicious and large portion. This time I had the sesame beef with Sriracha. I’ve got my new favorite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The restaurant itself could use some cleaning. However, it wasn’t really dirty just detailing. The sweet and sour shrimp was good, not outstanding. Our waitress could use some training in better service. Overall, our visit was fair. If this review was helpful, please “like” it.

My husband and I tried a new dish tonight, Basil Beef. He got the it spicy (jalapenos) and I ordered it light spicy. It was very tasty and well prepared. The service has been great from the moment we walked in the door. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. It was a pleasant visit.
