Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tokyo Cowboy offers a unique fusion of Asian and Tex-Mex flavors, with standout dishes like the "brisket egg rolls," and "salmon" that leave diners impressed. The "service is amazing," with servers like Michelle and Grace receiving high praise. A fun atmosphere, great cocktails, and prime Riverwalk location make it a must-visit.

    Excellent find. Refreshing cocktails. Great menu. Portions not large. Best for a couple sharing everything on the menu. Food is very tasty. We loved the chicken dumplings, corn waffles, chicken karage, and pork belly. And the tres leche dessert was awesome. If you’re in San Antonio and want a non-Texican meal check them out.

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed our cocktails, menu, and especially the chicken dumplings, corn waffles, chicken karaage, pork belly, and tres leches dessert. We appreciate your recommendation for those looking for something outside the typical Tex-Mex experience in San Antonio! We’d love to welcome you back soon for more great bites and drinks!

    Drinks too forever to get to you, food was average. Our appetizers were not good at all, way too much kewpie mayo on everything. The salmon was good but that’s about the only thing we liked.

    The bar seating service and food were very good. However, the host staff was limited to 2 words per customer and didn't seem to care if we were there or not. Not a good way to start!
    Tokyo CowboyResponded 5 days ago

Your comments are important to us, and we’ll work to improve the greeting and overall guest experience. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back soon!

    The staff here was some of the best I've experienced in a long time. Our server was friendly, informative, helpful and really listened when we told her we had theater tickets. Our food and drinks arrived rapidly and she brought the, assuring us that there was no rush on her end, but only so we could control how quickly we got out of there. The food, over all, was good, not great. Portions were small, flavors rather bland. We had a perfectly lovely time and got to our show on time.

    Just got into San Antonio, saw Tokyo Cowboy was a short walk, what a great find. I had the Hot Chicken Chili Dumplings, Brisket Egg Roll, and Spicy Pork Belly. All were excellent and wonderfully executed.

    Wasn't what we expected for a business lunch. Brunch only on Sunday. Close sitting at tables. We left without ordering...

    What a great spot! We had a delicious meal and the service was great. We had the chopped vegetable salad - so tasty, followed by salmon, shrimp and noodles and scorched green beans. Everything was so good!
