Safe place to grab a bite. Choices are QDOBA MEXICAN FOOD, SLIM CHICKENS, CHARLEYS PHILLY STEAKS, SUBWAY SARKU JAPAN, BOBA + ACAI BUBBLE TEAM & SMOOTHI CAFE, and Starbucks.. Plenty of seating, great atmosphere, and shopping at the AAFES STORES and vendors.

Probably one of the worst Base food courts in the nation, which is a shame since Fort Sam is overall so iconic. Let’s start with Ming. The Chinese food is embarrassing, flavorless and most likely reheated from a frozen bag. The fried rice is dull and the egg rolls don’t have any real seasoning. Panda Express would be a Michelin Star restaurant if it were compared to this. Sarku Japan is just as bad with fried dumplings that are chewy in such a bad way. The chicken teriyaki bento is over sauces and way too salty. It’s connected to Ming so it’s easy to assume they are buying their products from the same Sam’s Club frozen section. Then there’s Charlie’s Philly Steaks which I would avoid if you’re from the east coast. They even have mushrooms in their cheesesteaks and other protein options. This might be a good thing if it tasted amazing, sadly it does not. Qdoba is an interesting choice but let’s be honest here it is not Mexican food and it’s annoying that it claims to be. I can’t really say anything bad about the food itself it’s just not Mexican. More like what an American from the western states would try to claim as Mexican. There are signs throughout the food court encouraging non military to eat there in case they thought they couldn’t but the reality is the food is subpar and not worth the disappointment. Here’s a radical idea, put decent quality food in the court and you will see an improvement in patronage. It’s terrible our service members are forced to have these horrible options thrust upon them. Do better AAFES.

Wow bad. Not Korean food. I eat and cook Korean food frequently, so I'm fine with all kinds of versions of Korean food. I have a high tolerance for mediocre Korean food because I love it so much. This place is NOT Korean food, not even close to authentic. We were the only ones in the restaurant at lunch time, which should've been a tip off. I ordered the tteok-bokki 떡볶이 spicy rice cakes and 김치파전 kimchee pancake. The flavor of the rice cakes tasted like it was made with maple syrup, instead of red pepper paste and soy sauce. See photo. Weird taste, worse texture. Rice cakes must have been in a long term freezer and cooked from frozen. Low quality. Not fresh. Photo below. The savory veggie pancake literally had those string hash browns in it. It was about an inch thick and saturated in oil. Very unusual flavors, for sure not made with Korean ingredients. The side dishes 반찬 were not fresh, and not many options. I left all the food there, didn't even take a to go box, which is not like me. >.

Husband and I had the AYCE KBBQ dinner on a Saturday night, they’re open until 1:30am! AYCE includes appetizers, we ordered the fried dumplings, seafood pancake and spicy rice cakes. All the appetizers were served hot and tasted fresh! Best tteokbokki I’ve ever had! First time my husband has ever had tteokbokki and he liked it a lot! The fried dumplings were crispy and super flavorful! The seafood pancake had plenty of seafood inside and on top with a nice crispy bottom! They also have a self serve banchan station included with the meal. For our meats, we ordered the beef ribeye, beef bulgogi, la kalbi and spicy pork bulgogi. All the meats were well seasoned with generous portions! Our server was attentive and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We enjoyed our dinner and left full and happy. We will definitely be back soon!

This place is fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was visiting my aunts kitchen. Sweetest employees, quality BBQ and tasty pies. This place just makes me feel like I’m home. 🏡🍗🤎

Excellent Fried Chicken 🍗😋 Thank you by my friend who recommended here to enjoy the fried chicken of this San Antonio Location.

FOOD; The food is decent for a buffet. I can't give it 5 stars because some items like the shrimp may be a tad undercooked at times because the batter isn't always crisp. Cauliflower is mushy at times due to overcooking. LATEST REVIEW. March 12, 2025. FOOD: 1. We went before 4:30 pm because it's cheaper than the dinner by about 5 bucks per adult. 2. The food was somewhat improved A. They had the butterfly shrimp back, instead of the little fingernail size shrimp. . The hamburger meat for tacos is very greasy. You can often see the grease. Most other foods are pretty good. The value for seniors is 2 stars. On breakfast, seniors save 3.82% or 50 cents. On dinner. you save $1. That's a little better. SERVICE: Generally, the good bar is kept full. The waitress refills drinks and takes empty plates. Most waitresses are nice and keep drinks filled. There are a couple of elderly waitresses that are curt and watch you like a hawk. They really eye you as you are about to leave. It's like they think you're going to sneak out with food. ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is generally good. At really busy times. The noise level ica be.high. Some families are loud, and their kids make a mess. LATEST REVIEW: March 12, 2025. We went before 4:30 pm because it is cheaper than dinner hours 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm. FOOD: 88.78The food was better on this visit. A. They had the butterfly shrimp back, rather than the little fingernails size shrimp. B. My wife said her fried fish was better this time. C. My Chicken Noodke Soup was the canned variety, but it was fairly warm. It could have been a little warmer. D. The salad is akwaysca good staple. It's always has fresh greens, fresh veggies, fresh dressings, fresh salads (macaroni, potato), fresh in season fruits (except the pears are canned), fresh cottage cheese, and fresh dressings. E.. The rolls were fresh/soft. F. The Mac/cheese was creamy. G. The fried okra was not fried crispy enough and was lukewarm. H. The cream gravy for both tge chicken fried steak/mashed potatoes was warm, but still not thick enough. I. The brocoli and the cauliflower were warm and fresh. The cheese sauce for each was like canned nacho cheese. J. My wife's pecan pie was tasty, according to her. K. My coconut cream.pie was fresh and yummy. L. My wife also loves their banana pudding. M. Our sweet tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. We always pay the extra 50 cents for the to-go cup so we can take some with us. ATMOSPHERE: A. The pkace was clean. B. The employees were keeping up with cleaning tables. C. The food counters were sanitary as well. D. Utensils were clean. E. The plates were clean, bytvwe had to search for dry plates. SERVICE: A. Our waitress was attentive. She kept our teas full and cleared our dirty dishes in a timely manner. This visit was much improved. It will never be a 5 star restaurant. It will akways be hard to rate itba 4 or 5. It's kind of like McDonalds,, it'll do, but there are much better burger joints. As gor buffets, Golden Corral will suffice, but no rave reviews.

Exceeded expectations. Service was fantastic. Jaime was very swift and courteous, elevating our experience to the next level. Food was solid, you aren’t coming here for world class quality. They hit on every point they needed to and left me satisfied and eager to return.

A great chill place to hang out and drink on the outside patio with my daughter and friends

If you’re looking for a hidden gem that’s a bit secluded, Aquaduck is your spot. They offer live music, great happy hour drinks, and indulgent food options. Makes for a great night out with friends. The pizza and wings are definitely a must. Parking is limited, so you might want to make arrangements beforehand.

I've passed this place like a billion times. Finally I stopped in. EVERYONE I mean everyone there greeted us and made us feel so welcome. Like family. We ordered the riblettes, fish, chicken tenders and fried chicken. I had the ribelettes and the were so meaty and tender. The okra was so good and macaroni was moist. Everything was piping hot and fresh to order. You can get anything reg, spicy or lemon pepper. I had the Kool aid it was super sweet like God intended. This place is a MUST! Thank you for a great experience!

LEMON PEPPER 🔥 that had to be the best chicken 🐔 I've ever had. I used to be a vendor for Mr Chatman, and in the five years of working with him, he's always been nothing short of kind and respectful. The prep chicken always smelled good, so I've been curious and finally gave it a shot today. I'm surprised and not surprised. Chatman has years of experience, so of course, it was 💯 crispy, hot! But what makes me mad is how come no one told me there's Lemon Pepper Chicken!? At the same time, I'm asking I'm answering my own question. It's soo good you almost want to keep it a seceret. Anyways I'm hooked! Anytime I'm in the area, I'm pulling through most definitely. 11/21/24 😆 I clocked out for lunch today and drove out of the way to pick up another 3 piece chicken only lemon pepper. It's so good. 11/23/24 I was out working o.t. and had to swing by again on my way home. 11/27/24 picked up another 3 piece dark lemon pep for a family member to try. I tried a medium Okra, and it was good. Churches Okra can be a little slimy, these weren't. I filled up on them alone.

Barbacoa was delicious! Staff was welcoming and friendly. They were fast. Definitely recommend.

Great service & delicious barbacoa.

Had the pepper steak lunch. The portions were good but I thought the food lacked flavor. I wanted my plate spicy and it was mild at best. I'm glad I tried this restaurant but I will not be back. My coworker had the opposite experience .. her plate was too salty but our waitress was so nice about it and made things right.

What a cute tucked away little eatery. Found this spot after our first choice was take out only. So glad we did. It was quiet, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the decor was pleasant. The best part was the food. It was all fresh and delicious. You can tell this was made to order. We chose a variety of dishes probably enough to feed 7 people even though there were only 4 in our party. Large portions and so tasty!

They serve traditional Chinese dishes and American-Chinese dishes to cater to those who are not familiar to the culture. We usually order the eggplant with shredded pork, mapo-tofu, the spiced lamb, and the basil fish. It's wonderful. My daughter loves her sweet'n'sour chicken and combination fried rice.

Won ton soup broth is excellent. Pepper beef was very good, especially the sauce. Lemon chicken was nice and crispy. Liked the pork fried rice allot. Egg roll was fresh cooked and tasty. Over all very good Chinese food.

Disappointed. Usually order General Tso Chicken. Decided to try the Shrimp and Jalapeno Chicken. Got home and it was mainly rice (that was dry and not hot), bell pepper and jalapenos. Very little brown sauce with 2 shrimp and a few pieces of chicken. Crab Rangoon were stale and dry. Guess I need to find another Chinese takeout.

Ordered through DoorDash for delivery, and it got here super fast (app said it would be delivered in an hour, got here no more than 20 minutes later). HUGE portions, and so fresh that I burned the roof of my mouth! Definitely ordering again! Tried to call and give the compliment over the phone, but no one answered (twice)

Second time trying it and again did not have a good experience, I ordered cashew chicken and it was peanuts instead of cashews. The sauce tasted terrible, as if I just came out of an instant jar. The other plate we got was not good at all.

Mongolian Beef and pork fried rice was delicious. The sweet girl who took my order was so kind and very good at her job. She even brought my dinner out to My car.

We visited Wok Inn Asian Cafe today for the all-you-can-eat dim sum, and it was absolutely delicious! The variety and quality of dishes were impressive, and we especially enjoyed the flavorful dumplings and savory buns. The service was also fantastic—friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. Our only minor complaint was with the beef stomach and tendons, which were a bit on the tough side, making them a little too chewy. However, everything else was spot on, and this certainly won’t deter us from coming back for another round. Looking forward to our next visit!

We had a great experience at this location because of the manager and her crew. The servers and the cooks were all very attentive to us and catered to anything that we ask, and the food was great as always. I didn’t catch the young ladies name who attended to us after we sat down and brought out doggy bags for us, but she was very humble and very caring in her service. I do hope she goes very far in customer service. I hope by reading this that she will be commended by other management on her overall great customer service, thank you so much!
