It's been years since I went to Gin, but we used to go there for lunch often when I worked nearby. Ate there today and it was just as good as I remembered. I had the pork with green beans and they were delicious. I am glad to see that the beef noodle soup is still on the menu--I'll order that again when the weather is cooler. The staff is wonderful--friendly and accommodating. And one of my favorite parts: it was quiet enough that our group could actually hear each other! We will be back.

We've been coming to Gin's since 1993 and it has never disappointed! Don't let the shopping strip look deter you! This is delicious and authentic Chinese. We had our usual steamed dumplings with the dumpling sauce, Szechuan chicken, chicken fried noodles and the beef and broccoli. The crab meat rangoon are very crispy. So delicious!

Ive been frequenting Gins since my childhood---and with good reason---consistently exceptional food. This is a no-frills family owned and run establishment that is guaranteed to fill your belly and send you off happy for having enjoyed a delicious meal. What to order, you ask? Here are a few of my favorites: -Pork Dumplings : outstanding, just order them -Ten Treasure Noodle Soup : light, fresh, flavorful -Kung Pao Chicken: The best kung pao in the city, you can't go wrong with this dish -Beef and Broccoli: Rich, fresh crisp veggies, yum -Chicken Green Beans : Blistered perfectly, tender chicken -Orange chicken : light crisp, nice tangy sauce, delicious Plus great lunch specials. Gins has been doing it right for over 30 years. Go already!

Still the best green beans and pork dumplings! Been eating here for years and still love it.

On December 29, 2023 Peg and I journeyed from the wilds of Kerrville to The Big City to meet fellow Yelpers Danny and Chris for lunch at Gin's. Chris and her family have been eating there for around 30 years, so Peg and I were eager to give it a try. Chris raved about the pork dumplings and they were the first thing we ordered. This is one of the few Oriental restaurants that does not limit you to a small fixed number of dumplings. The menu lists various numbers per order up to 25; we, being modest eaters, ordered 20!!! These are not the usual frozen variety but made in-house. Neither are they lacking in filling--these are plump little guys. Served with Gin's dipping sauce, they were the perfect appetizer. The flavor was subtle and well-balanced and among the best I've had--and I've had a LOT of dumplings in my life! In fact, I'd be more than happy to make a meal of just them. Dumplings dispatched (or so I thought--more on this later), it was time to order. Lunch specials are served a bit differently here. The usual is soup, egg roll or Rangoon, rice and entree. Here no soup is offered but you have a choice of an egg roll, 2 Rangoons or 2 dumplings--order these and don't be surprised if you find yourself ordering more--, a double scoop of rice, (get the fried), iced tea and entree. It was Kung Pao Shrimp for Chris, Orange Beef for Danny, Peg opted for Chicken with Green Onion and I chose Beef with Green Onion with fried rice and egg roll. Luckily, everyone offered me a taste of their dish. I, being demure by nature, . . . jumped at the chance to taste them! All were excellent but I'll focus on my Beef with Green Onion. The bane of most Chinese restaurants is an attempt to wow their patrons with bold, in-your-face flavors which are an assault on the senses. The saucing and spicing hide the natural flavors of the ingredients. And it seems everything must be literally swimming in sauce. Not at Gin's. My Beef with Green Onion revealed minimum, well-seasoned sauce. The beef was extremely tender without being overcooked; the green onions were neither muted nor bold, with their flavor complimenting the beef as an equal partner in the dish. This is a perfect example of how a deft hand in the kitchen can elevate a simple dish to something a high-end establishment would be proud to serve. The fried rice had actual flavor. Don't scoff--at many restaurants it is woefully tasteless. Finally, my egg roll was plump, not at all greasy, and very flavorful. I usually find myself dunking them in either sweet and sour or duck sauces but these stood on their own. When I had finished, Danny asked, "Does anyone want more dumplings?" Don't have to ask me twice! Even cold, they were excellent! Peg and I seldom venture to this side of San Antonio but from now on, when we're in the mood for Chinese, it's to Gin's we'll head. The decor is modest but everything was clean and tidy. The food is flavorful, the people friendly--couldn't ask for more!

It's been almost 10 years since I last had Gin's (mind you this was a staple in my family for years. I'm talking weekend lunches every weekend and after I graduated high school, weekly lunches/dinner) and the food was just how I remembered it. The taste was absolutely amazing, rangoons were as delicious as ever, and some of the best I've had. Pan fried dumplings, even to go, still delicious. (There were two different times I ate here that absolutely made me sick and scared to eat here again but no more.) When I went to pick up my food (two weeks in a row) the place was noticeably cleaner than my previous visits, staff was friendlier, and the food was killer. So glad I can enjoy my favorite Chinese food spot again. My only complaint, the Szechuan chicken and kung pao chicken had absolutely no spice, left me longing for the Szechuan I had as a teen. Will I return? Absolutely!

They have lunch specials every day, even on the weekends that include fried or white rice and eggrolls or crab Rangoon's and tea. I like the transparency and listening skills of the servers. They provide information on the menu and they ask for our preferences if we would like green onions on the soup, if we wanted wontons to crumble into i,t if we needed any spicy sauces, etc.. They have an upstairs and downstairs dining area so if you can't do stairs, you can opt for the other side. It is nice, dark and cool inside it is triple digits in Texas and so it is a purrfect cavelike coolness to have your lunch .
