The food was excellent and cannot be recommended highly enough. To new customers, when they say spicy it is generally based on a person who tolerates no spice, so if you like spicy foods (especially asiatic spices like hot oil) you might want to consider the extra spicy add on for more kick.

The food is always excellent (highly recommend the "famous" green beans and the Don Po pork belly) and comes out SO quickly. Recommend a reservation to speed up wait time, but definitely worth the wait!

In terms of brunch food, but the price was fairly reasonable. It was easy to get in and out of the hotel and the Saint Anthony is a beautiful, downtown, historic San Antonio Hotel. My only complaint is that it was a bit noisy, and the server didn’t even refill our glass of water. I’d go back for the ambience and it’s in walking distance of the Majestic. So it’s a great choice before show.
