Jingu House - San Antonio

We walked around the Japanese Tea Garden and ate inside to cool off. I had the goji tea which was great. I had the vegetarian bento box. I believe it to be vegan as well. There was squash, zucchini and carrots in a sweet teriyaki sauce. There was rice noodles in similar sauce. A small salad with ginger dressing and a seaweed salad atop cucumbers. Then 2 pieces of vegan sushi. It was pretty good. The gentleman at the counter were very friendly.

I can only comment on the popsicles, which were great. The staff we talked to were friendly and they gave a brief explanation of the Jingu House. The restroom facilities here were clean. Would visit again when I return to the Japanese Gardens.

We only had outdoor seating, but we really appreciated the view of the Japanese garden. The bento boxes were quite enjoyable, with the chicken bento being significantly better than the beef option. The jasmine green tea was nice, but unfortunately, the boba was not chewy at all.

This restaurant offers a really enjoyable fusion-style menu. It can get quite busy, and since it’s a small space, you might experience a longer wait for your food, but the flavors are excellent. The dishes aren’t too outlandish, making it a great introduction to Japanese cuisine for those who haven’t tried it before. The Gardens where the restaurant is located are stunning, featuring a lovely waterfall and koi pond after years of construction. It's a beautiful setting!

The Jingu House is a charming and cozy little café located in the Japanese Tea Garden. The berry bubble tea I had was incredible—delicious and refreshing!
