Jingu House

We stopped here to see the Japanese Tea Garden while in San Antonio for our son’s graduation from Airforce BMT. It was breathtaking! The garden and paths are so beautiful! You almost feel like you are in another country. It’s free to roam around the garden, also. We decided to grab a bite to eat at their cafe on site. They have a nice menu and full menu of drinks - teas, craft cocktails, iced drinks, etc … everything we got was soooo delicious! There are bathrooms downstairs and a small section of gifts in the tea shop. A must stop if you’re in the area!

We sat down in their super cute little restaurant. It was so lovely that they had their windows open and you could smell the blooms from the mountain laurels outside. We had their kimchi fries (which were amazing) and I highly suggest the coconut- pineapple slush!

Not many food options other than some takeaway items such as chicken salad sandwich, turkey wrap, PB&J, pork buns, noodles salad, house salad, crispy spring rolls, chips and cookies. Tons of drink options to wash the food down with, adult and non-adult. We had the chicken salad sand. & pork buns and it was delicious! Ice cream too! Service was swift and friendly. Plenty of inside and shaded outside seatings. 👌

We enjoyed the updated interior for lunch and had some great dishes and drinks.

Definitely stop in and grab a nice cool drink for a stroll around the garden. The Barista was so nice and helpful! It has a very nice indoor dining area to cool off after the walk! I didn't get any food, but I will be back no doubt!

This is for the grab and go- incredibly cool collection of teas, Boba and slushies with alcoholic options and sodas directly from Japan.. Half the people visiting the gardens were carrying Boba tea and looked happy too. I enjoyed my limeade slush which can be had with sake and my daughter enjoyed her strawberry milk tea. Not sure what people are expecting with the negative reviews.

Went here with family for my girls bday and had a great time. This place is beautiful as it was both our first time there. The koi were huge and I really loved how beautiful it was especially the waterfall. We also got food from the jingu house but since it’s spring break the menu is limited so I’m looking forward to coming back and trying the other menu items even if it’s a little pricey (we had 4 people total) it’s worth it. We had gotten the poke bowl, pork gyoza, cran turkey sandwiches, strawberry boba tea and a slush. Everything was really good. I never had potato bread before so that was something new. Also loved the Japanese snacks they have, we tried the bacon chips. Loved this place definitely give it try

I will never forget this beautiful day, as I found my wallet after I lost it. I returned to this place and was surprised that they kept the wallet that I lost when I drank tea. Thank you to the employee. I hope for a promotion and an increase in the employee’s salary.

I really have no complaints everything was great especially the items I ordered was really tasty and fresh!!!

Really fun fusion style menu. Can have busy times and it being a small place could be long wait time for food but the flavors are excellent.

Nothing too "weird" so I can consider this a good way for people to try Japanese cuisine who haven't before.

The Gardens that it is located in are beautiful after years of construction to have a running waterfall and koi pond.

Beautiful place!

This place is great! New ownership, so expect something different if you've been here before. I recommend the firecracker shrimp. It's a unique building, and the back seating area gives a tree-house feel, while the outside seating looks over the beautiful sunken gardens.

Dumplings, steamed pork buns, tori katsu, poke bowl, Asian nicoise, pineapple whip, sticky mango rice, green tea. Everything hot, delicious, beautiful. Staff outstanding, kind. Cucumber noodles to die for!! In the middle of Japanese Tea Garden for peaceful afternoon lunch.

Delightful. Great service and delicious food. The raw ahi poke bowl was a perfect lunch.

The Jingu House it's a small cozy and beautiful cafe at the Japanese tea garden, the bubble tea with berries was amazing, delicious and refreshing 🥰 was my first time inside the cafe and they are really cautious with the COVID preventions, I loved the inside of the shop, they have small desserts, a variety of food and teas.

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 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.

The whole garden is gorgeous! Drinks with a beautiful view

A beautiful oasis near the zoo, The Pearl & Central Market. Our garden club was thrilled to tour this wonderful garden. We look forward to more flowers in May, June and the fall colors. We saw turtles of various ages and the one big catfish that's in the pools. The zoo had provided numerous young koi, a duck, and a young duckling. This is well worth a visit. In the heat, sit in the shade near the large waterfall. And, it's free!

Japanese tea garden is the best place for lunch with a new friend! We sat outside over the umbrellas & had a wrap and some bubble tea 😉 stag is great! Food is fresh & yummy!

I stopped by today with my husband while we were visiting the garden and he tells me "look! They have boba!" SO not being able to resist a good boba I ordered the matcha one... I'm very picky with my matcha drinks, but this one exceeded my expectations. It's very tasty, refreshing, and a nice portion with a VERY good taste. The base tea they used for it is delicious, thank you hubby for noticing the yummy things.
