Chinese food that can be had again and again. This is not a run of your mill Chinese place. The menu is varied with good selection of different kinds of meat, poultry & seafood. The place is a little dimly lit but cozy. The service is pretty good. Sea food preparations normally take a little longer but I got excellent service for my order of shrimp.

The price is slightly on the higher side but I do not mind paying more to avoid the greasy chinese food that is dished elsewhere.

Best Chinese!!. This is truly the best chinese food in San Antonio. The service is always wonderful! All of the dishes I have tried here are wonderful. The recent addition of crab ragoon as an appetizer has become one of my new favorites. I recommend the egg drop soup, crab rangoons or egg rolls to start. As an entree, the spicy shredded chicken, sesame chicken or chicken chow mein are all good choice. Don't forget the shrimp fried rice (no peas for me). Their fried rice is truly the best. You won't be sorry when you dine here.

Families, dragons and reliable egg drop soup. Just what you want in a friendly neighborhood Chinese restaurant.. The Scene
You know you've walked into a gem of a local restaurant when the hostess knows the names of half the patrons. Visited by families and decorated in the classic dragons-and-Buddha style of Chinese restaurants, Hsiu Yu is a delightful spot for an above-average dinner. Begin your meal with an egg roll or a bowl of egg drop soup and you'll learn why so many locals keep coming back.

The Food
Leave the gourmet-fusion Chinese cuisine to experimental upscale restaurants; Chef Chung Lien Yu sticks to a traditional Chinese menu. His sesame chicken is lightly fried and laced with the perfect amount of ginger. The number of flavorful vegetarian dishes exceeds the usual. For admirers of sweet-and-sour meats, spicy veggies and cold Tsing Tao beer to wash it down, Hsiu Yu is the place to go for a solid meal.
