China Bowl

"The food was just ok. I ordered orange chicken and it did not taste like orange chicken. It was so spicy I couldn't finish my meal. The wonton soup was good and the egg roll was delicious. Rice was so bland Hubby had beef and broccoli and he really liked it."

"Can't go wrong here. Always good service and great food."

"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!!!! The Chinese Food we ordered was tender and cooked to perfection. It’s a very clean restaurant and the staff waits on ya like you’re royalty. I recommend everyone visiting Bandera, Tx should stop in and experience excellence."

"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!"
