3 Pho Bowl 09

We visited San Antonio and wanted some pho on a rainy day. We came here since it was the closest one to our Airbnb. It was a Saturday so most of us ordered the special of the day, Pho with steak and brisket for $11, while the others ordered the P1 pho special for $15. Ordering was easy, walk up to the counter and food is served to us at the table. Our bowls came out fairly quickly and the bowls are a good size. Once we started digging in we realized there were so much noodles! I've honestly never had a bowl of pho, even a large size, with that much noodles. Half of us barely put a dent in our bowls. The 14 of us could have ordered 5 bowls to split between us. With the amount of noodles and the meat sliced so thick, no one finished their bowl. I have no idea how pho tastes at other restaurants in San Antonio so I don't have anything to compare it to. I'll give it 3 stars since it was edible but it wasn't good. Everyone at the restaurant was also really nice and friendly helping us and serving us.

I love this neighborhood establishment. We usually pop by for lunch but decided to get take out this evening on this chilly evening. The restaurant is always super clean and staff are so kind & helpful. When you walk in the door, go straight back to the counter in the back to make your order. They have large menu screens above the register, hand held laminated menus or a we code if you prefer to use that for the menu. My go to dishes are usually the pho and the hubby loves their combo fried rice. Service is quick. Food is consistently good and the atmosphere is family friendly. It's a great place to meet friends for a meal. Easy to have a conversation and not feel rushed, Tip of the day is to sign up for the rewards program, it's amazing how fast they add up.

Been awhile since I been back here. I used to stop through during high school football season and grab a Banh Mi sandwich and a coffee and be in heaven! Fast forward to today when I drove by andhad to stop in my fix! I called in my order before I got there and the service got me in and out. They were super nice and communicative at the counter, great service!The sandwich....well it was a miss today. I don't know exactly what was different, but the seasoning of the chicken was not what I'm used to. It was lacking. The veggies were crisp. The bread was fresh. But the chicken wasn't seasoned the same. That hurt because this was our cheat meal and we were salivating thinking about how good it used to be. In all honesty It could've been just a miss today. At least I hope it was.

Trying this place for the 1st time! Place is very clean and neat. Waitress welcomed me in as soon as I opened the front door, which was nice. Order #9 with chicken to go. Took about 3 to 4 minutes to get my order ready and left. Overall, nice, clean, cool place to have some Asian food.

Eveytime I come to 3 pho bowl 09 I am impressed with how clean it is. I see the workers always cleaning non stop. The customer service has always been great the cashier was patient on Friday with my big group while I helped explain the menu to them. Now to the food, I am very picky with Vietnamese food since I am half Viet. Everything is good here from the bánh mì to the gọi cuốn. My only issue personally is the pho it's not good the broth to me is a big deal and it's flavorless here. Everything else though I can say it's delicious. If I want Vietnamese food and don't feel like making it I'll come here. Really though I came to realize there's not really a foot "authentic" spot here in San Antonio. I definitely recommend in Houston!

The place was spotless, the staff was great and the food tasted like I was back in Vietnam. The food is tasty and fresh and the place was quite and relaxing.

The food is amazing. The place is really clean. The service is awesome. Portions are big! I will always be eating here!

Sadly wouldn't come back. I got the brisket steak pho, at first glance it didn't look good... the broth color was just off. I wanted to give it a try and hoped it would be good despite appearance but I was let down. Broth was underwhelming, not much flavor in it. I had to add lots of sriracha and hoisin sauce. The portion of bean sprouts given wasn't much, which is not a big deal had everything else had better flavor and appearance. In the second close up photo you can see the texture of the brisket ??? Not too sure what that is but it looked like chewed up and spit out food. The employees were nice and attentive. Quiet setting for 12pm lunch time. Peaceful.

Whether you're craving a warm, comforting bowl of pho or a fresh, flavorful bánh mì sandwich, these two Vietnamese culinary staples never disappoint. The rich, aromatic broth of pho, filled with tender slices of beef or chicken and complemented by fresh herbs and rice noodles, is like a hug in a bowl--perfect for any time of day. On the other hand, bánh mì sandwiches offer a delightful contrast with their crispy baguettes, savory meats, and tangy pickled vegetables. Both options showcase the vibrant and diverse flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, making it impossible to choose a favorite. Whether you're in the mood for something soothing or a quick, satisfying bite, you can't go wrong with either here.

I came in after a day getting some errands done. This place is set up nice. It's quite modern with plenty of seating. Coming in, it smells like a nail salon. I realize that there is a nail salon next door, but that smell can be overwhelming. You have to pay before you choose where you want to sit. I don't like that, because if the service isn't good.....basically leaving a tip before you get served is weird for me. However the service was great. I got a steak, brisket, and meatball phó. Broth was perfect. Great flavor. I got fried Eggrolls. Those were great as well. I don't recommend the curry. They had a special for spicy chicken curry. It was extremely soupy. It wasn't spicy. I was hoping for a nice Thai style curry but was disappointed. The other items were great. I recommend the phó!
