Mouthwatering Vietnamese in San Antonio

Berni Vietnamese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (445) • $$

"I was traveling through San Antonio yesterday and happened upon this Vietnamese restaurant. There was only one man working the restaurant, but there were quite a few customers.I worried that I wouldn't be able to get good service because there was only the one man. However, I was greeted quickly and received my food promptly, steaming hot and delicious. I never had a want for anything. This man seemed to handle the entire restaurant all by himself, and everyone around me seemed very happy and content. The food was very delicious. I even got a little dessert, which I have no idea what it was. It was fairly decent. It was a blessed surprise, as he didn't even charge me for it. They have a rather large menu so I would've been a bit overwhelmed, had I not gone in there specifically for pho. I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

Pho Ha Long

"This place is absolutely amazing!!! I have been coming here for years and they have never disappointed & is the best pho I have had in San Antonio. Every time I go in they are quick and attentive. Everyone there is so kind and always make me feel so welcome. I always get the number 3 on the pho and the broth is outstanding. It has so much flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone & everyone. Anyone I have ever taken here has lived this place."

"I have been enjoying this food for years. Many choices for protein like chicken, pork, brisket or ribs, choice of noodles rice. Lettuce, mint, peanuts lovely egg roll and delicious sauce. Extra can be purchased. The only downside is adding that sauce will make the noodles slippery and take you longer to get it into your mouth!!!"

Pho Saigon

"Excellent service and delicious meal--meat was very tasty snd tender, a little salty but balanced out either way vermicelli, sauce was a tiny bit spicy but added atop the vermicelli it was great, salad also had cucumber slices, carrot slivers, bean sprouts and shredded iceberg lettuce--highly recommend"

"I'm new to the area & had finished my morning appointments, & started out looking for A) coffee, & B) something new. This place came up I guess because they do serve coffee, but this was not the original search intent. That being said, I am glad we stopped! The server was so helpful! We ordered, and based on the small conversation happening, she made suggestions which turned out really well! I had the grilled beef sandwich, & a matcha milk tea. The milk tea was very good; flavorful & not too sweet! The grilled beef sandwich was delicious! It had a bit of heat, but it was not spicy. I love spicy, so that would not be an issue, but this just wasn't. It was so tasty & the meat was cooked perfectly. My lunch & tea were delicious, service was awesome & friendly, & the meal in total was not expensive! Will absolutely be back to try other new things on the menu!"

Heavenly Pho Vietnamese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (418) • $$

"On Friday evening, my boyfriend suggested Vietnamese for dinner. While he wanted Pho, I saw some photos of tasty vermicelli bowls that looked like they would hit the spot. After searching online, Heavenly Pho popped up in our search so we made our way slowly to the restaurant during rush hour traffic. The restaurant was decorated beautiful inside and we were greeted immediately upon entry and seated by our waiter. While our waiter took our drink orders, we browsed the menu and I decided to dine on the Vermicelli Chicken bowl that included an eggroll and shrimp, while my boyfriend selected the Pho special and an order of Crispy Calamari. Our waiter came out often to check on us and even warmed my noodles at my request for my Vermicelli bowl. While i understand we are dealing with inflation, I wasn't pleased to count 5 pieces of chicken and see 2 pieces of shrimp heaped on a bowl of noodles and bean sprouts. After viewing other restaurants and seeing what was in placed in front of me, I started to doubt our choice to dine here. I for one love eating at home and my boyfriend loves eating out, but if you are going to raise prices to around $14 a bowl, 1/3 cup of meat should at least be the standard to serve to your guest. I also wasn't pleased with the poorly cleaned shrimp with the dirt line that glowed on the plate in front of me. I felt a bit slighted as he dined on his Pho so I ended up tasting his selection, which was seasoned to perfection. He also ordered a Banh Mi to go and we paid our tab.For nearly $64 with a tip, I do believe I could have found a meal that I felt was worth the trip and cost elsewhere. When I eat out, I like to find restaurants that have ingredients that I normally don't cook with so that I feel like it was worth the trip, labor and cost. My meal, I feel I definitely could have prepared off of a YouTube tutorial and enjoyed more at home. I felt like they tried to disguise the protein under the vegetables to make you think you were getting more than you were (sigh).I did post a photo of what I expected vs what I received and will continue looking around San Antonio for other selections."

"The pho was very tasty Service was good went on a Monday evening. The atmosphere was nice. It wasn't busy at all. The price was great as well."

"The place is clean. Service is excellent. My pho soup came out piping hot and the broth is just delicious."

Pho Thien An

★★★★☆ 3.9 (336) • $$

"Came in on a Sunday around 11 am when they opened and there were a lot of seats available.We were easily attended too. Ordered our usual summer roll and brisket and steak pho.The broth was flavorful!The summer roll was good amount of shrimp, the peanut sauce was a tadbit too think for me. The kids meal sesame chicken was a lot for a 3 year old, so we had some to take home! Overall good dining experience here! No issues!"

Pho Hung Cuong Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (384) • $$

"Wow so sad this place has taken such a downturn!!! I stopped by yesterday for their beef stew pho with egg noodles and let me say: sad day.The aromatic flavors were just not there. Gone were the ginger, cinnamon and earthy tones that made the broth previously something I'd travel across town for.I also got the summer rolls with beef. Filler with nothing but inedible gristle. They should really just not be serving food ATP. The service was also terrible. Used to be a great place 3-4 years ago, not sure what happened but won't be back. Paid $30 for inedible food. Sad sad day."

Pho Hong Phat

★★★★☆ 3.9 (282) • $

"Have this place a try for the Bobby tea that my son was craving, it was good, while waiting we saw some of the dishes served to other patrons and they were large bowls so I will be back to try their food. The dining area is large so there is plenty of seating and the sounds of their fish pond adds a relaxing environment."

Pho 32

★★★★☆ 4.4 (191) • $$

"I got delivery while in town for a conference. It was all pretty tasty. It arrived super hot even coming from way across town. I was a little bummed that neither soy sauce nor hot sauce came with the delivery and I had forgotten to ask for it specifically. Everything was to my liking otherwise. I forgot to take a pic of the pho meatballs and broth. The broth was fab. The meatballs were a little dry for my liking."

Singapore Chinese & Indochina Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (268) • $$

"nice mom+pop place that's close to utsa. 15% off as a student!! that pulled me in along w the menu on the door. however the posted hours on the door are incorrect, i wasnt sure if it was open. was seated immediately. menu had plenty of options. lunch comes with fried rice (6/10) and soup. egg drop soup was so good. sweet n sour chicken was fried beautifully. and juicy. owner (? an older lady) made sure to say hey :)when paying the bill however, was a little surprised at the total. the lunch plate should have been $8 +$1 for inflation and stuff. charged me $14?? turns out they charge for bottled water. makes sense but had i known before, i wouldve felt better abt seeing a different number on the receipt. didn't make a whole lot of sense. will be back! for late night munchies"

Real Pho

"The food here is delicious and service is welcoming and helpful. They have plenty of seating available. Relaxed ambiance. Their chili oil was very spicy and I loved it. My husbands first time trying Pho and he loved it."

A Dong

★★★★☆ 3.6 (260) • $$

"Stopped into this area Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant for lunch with a group of work colleagues. I was the only one in the group who had a Vietnamese dish, though, and I ordered the beef vermicelli bowl along with an order of fresh Summer rolls (shrimp and pork) with peanut sauce. Both were done well and tasted fine. The Summer rolls were a bit heavy on the leaves and didn't have as many sprouts as I like. Also, the peanut sauce was a little thinner than I like as well. Food: C+The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, and there were plenty of tables available, even on a Friday at noon. Ambiance: BThe service was not over-friendly, but very good and attentive. We were in and out of the restaurant in just under an hour. Service: BThe value for the meal was about average for this type of meal, running just under $20 for both items. Value: B-Overall, it was a nice experience with a group of work friends, although it probably still isn't my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in town."

Wok This Way

"My first visit today. "J" was working and awesome at his job. I arrived after the lunch crowd and there were a few tables that needed bussed, but the place was clean and welcoming. "J" apologized for the dirty tables - truly there was no need for that because he was focusing on the to go orders and me and there were maybe 3 tables that needed cleaned. He was attentive and helpful my entire time there. I will go back when I'm in that area again."

Snow’s Vietnam Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (255) • $$

"Totally love their spring rolls. Often make a meal out of them! All the food is freshly made and portions are generous. Service is fast and efficient. Typical Asian decor. Casual dining that is consistent and delicious."

Pho Plus

★★★★☆ 3.8 (213) • $

"Great little place, a little out of my way, sad to say I hadn't discovered this little gem since it's been in business for nearly 10 years. Waitress was very attentive in a caring, not overburdensome way. I asked for Wifi and she worked with me a few times to get the password without much luck. I'm sure they'll have it figured out soon. Super kind and caring people, great pho, I highly recommend!"

Thai Lao Orchid

★★★★☆ 4 (174) • $$

"I love an understated whole in the wall, and Thai Lao is one of my of favorite in SA. Great fresh food, service, and kid friendly. I personally love the drunken noodle and yellow curry. My mom loves the ginger soup.This restaurant is one of our top in rotation for Asian food in the area. Small but mighty!"

Pho Place

★★★★☆ 3.9 (167) • $

"Dumplings and pork rolls with the Hoisin sauce were top notch! I could eat my weight worth in those rolls. The special pho in the hot bowl was so cool. You get raw meat on the side and the bowl is so hot you watch the meat cook in the broth! Delicious. I got the Spicy Beef bowl, super good too. Really good quantity of noodles and beef! Not pictured my sister ordered a peach tea which she loved! Cleanliness could be improved, I dropped the reusable chopsticks and picked them up to find a large dust bunny with hair entangled on chop sticks. This can be remedied with a quick sweep or vacuuming daily!"

"Drunken noodles and pad Thai are amazing. Family run business with good service. Very impressed with quality of food"

Pho Ba 9

★★★★★ 4.7 (106) • $$

"On a cold day, Phō is always good medicine! They don't disappoint here and there is something for everyone because the menu is huge! Starting with drinks there is a wide variety of favorites to choose from and some items you don't typically see at a Vietnamese restaurant, but they seem to have a lot of food and drink items from all of southeastern Asia! I started with the classic Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk which was a smooth little pick me up!The phō broth was out of this world so flavorful, real bone broth flavor and not just hot water poured over noodles. Definitely that was something that will be bringing me back. The meat was great too and also seemed to have some skirt steak as well and not just meatballs.Also not pictured was fried rice with steak pieces and that was a good entree to share and took as leftovers!"

China Sun Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (131) • $

"My daughter-in-law has been coming to this place since she was a little girl and she is now 22. She has been living in Alaska with my son who is in the military and this was her first go to coming home for a visit when I asked her or I could treat her to. We went there and everything was outstanding. Of course the service was perfect, and the food was divine. We had the ragoons,, the eggrolls, the sesame chicken plate, the Hunan chicken plate and the chow mein. The portions were very large and the food was absolutely delicious."

Saigon Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (125) • $$

"Other patrons were correct, the walls and tables could use a scrubbing and the ladies' toilet is a bit of a carnival ride.We arrived at 4pm to meet my parents and the place was maybe a third full, happy with noise. It took a while to have anyone acknowledge our arrival and then another wait to have our drink orders taken and menus brought. Another wait for food orders and that's when three of us found out they were out of bread so the banh mi selections were not going to happen and we needed a minute to recalibrate.Ma and I noticed different things about the new menus. She felt they had a better (she even called it fancy) explanation of the dishes; I noticed the menu had been Americanized in a manner one might expect for Seguin. For instance, you won't find the words bánh mì anymore, they're just listed as sandwiches.There was only one employee on the floor tending all the tables, and she was doing her best.The food's still very tasty when it does arrive, which is why I'm still OK with it despite a couple rough spots. Mr R had his usual bun (giant bowl of rice vermicelli) which looked beautiful. Both my Midwestern parents chose chicken fried rice when their chicken sandwiches were unavailable--only ma took her leftovers home but they both said it was tasty and truth is the servings were sizeable.I went rogue and chose beef skewers off the appetizer menu, and they were delicious! The skewers came nicely presented and impressively charred. The beef was sliced thin and ribboned on skewers--since I wasn't sharing with anyone I ate them right off the stick and only made a bit of a mess on my shirt. The sauce was perfect and every bite tender excepting pleasurable little crispy edges here and there.Two guys came out front for a smoke break when a lull arrived and the remaining tables (including us) had been served. I assume it was the owner who came to check on everyone and apologize for the unusual wait as they were understaffed.I snuck Mr R a fifty which paid for most of the tab at the counter. When Mr R added the remainder and said to keep the change, he said the owner handed the entire tip straight to the waitress which was nice to hear.Seguin's not a town of adventurous eating so I hope this place keeps doing what it needs to survive and the kitchen keeps serving up the good stuff. If next time it's won back a star or two, I'll be thrilled to bits."

Pho 4U

"Bestiessssss I think I feel shame lol. Do you KNOW how many times I have passed this place and NEVER went in?? Well by golly it won't happen EVER again!! Well let's get into it... This delectable place is located in the HEB shopping center area and parking can be a bit crazy if you come at the wrong time BUT it's worth the chance friend Sooo here I am smelling something just perfuming my nose so BAD friend I had to look up from watching my instagram and I kept noticing people coming in and go out.... Which is a GREAT sign that the food might just be delicious. So I thought hrmmmm let's take a chance. I'm NOT scared lol I ordered some lumpia and grilled pork and baybaeeeeee I was pleasantly surprised now the lumpia it was ok BUT that grilled pork got me allllllll the way together. It was sooo delicious and they put a little cabbage and cucumber with tomatoes on the side with a little dipping sauce VERY tasty. If you guys don't get down here and try this place.... Don't wait.. no seriously if you're reading this ... let's EAT!! I will be back... you better KNOW it!!"

Pho Viet

★★★★☆ 4.3 (106) • $$

"This is hands down the best pho I've had in San Antonio. They've got a ton of authentic dishes on the menu, including oxtail pho which I've yet to find anywhere else in SA. I got a classic pho tai chin; the broth was so good. It was seasoned well during cooking and was very clear. There was a nice layer of visible fat on top that gave it a nice mouthfeel. The noodles were cooked just right, not over or under cooked, and the meat was flavorful and tender.My only gripe is that it's so far from the Med Center, otherwise I would probably be here weekly."

Dr Banh Mi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (105)

"So tasty! Staff was very helpful and friendly. The summer roll with peanut sauce was so fresh and perfect for these texas summer days, especially if you pair it with a popping boba lemonade. I can't wait to come back."

Pho House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (133) • $$

"Very tasty, great flavors and freshly made. First time here. Super variety, went the lemongrass chicken noodles (our favorite dish) and it was very good with a filling portion. Just right. Servers were attentive and very welcoming. Food was brought quickly after we ordered. Steady flow of folks for both take out and dining in. Nice part of dining in was that while everyone was talking at their tables, you could carry on a normal conversation. Place is not large, but very comfortable to be at. Ordered to go for our kids. Another place on our list of 'family' restaurants, run by families for families."

3 Pho Bowl 09

★★★★☆ 4.1 (108)

"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."

Vietnam Gardens

"Me and my bestie went the other week. It's very small, cute and intimate. It feels like your at someone's else home, very cozy. The food is amazing, everything is cooked to order. So you can customize and ask for things you might not want in your Pho or entree. I've been to SO many Vietnamese restaurants, even when I lived in NorCal and this is hands down the best pho I've had. My bestie agreed too! Service is great, waiter asked if it was our first time and he broke down the menu for us. Don't miss this gem! It's perfect for date night or lunch with fiends and fam! :)"

"First time hereOrder at the register Order my favorite drink Taro smoothie with a sandwich on the side which was delicious Prices are affordable and they have 2 staff members one cashier and one cook I was the only person in the place at the time and the time to take the order and deliver was average Friendly service Quiet and beautiful place with enough sitting space to eat in"

Pho Hai An

★★★★☆ 3.8 (86) • $$

"First time visiting Pho Hai An. We were craving some Bahn Mi. And I have to say this place did not disappoint at all. The bread was the wow factor. The sandwich was amazing. We also tried their spring and summer rolls. Both were tasty. So was a combination pho. All were great choices. We will definitely have to come back. Then the couple working asked us if it was our first time. We said yes. The food was delicious. Then the lady stated that they freshly make their bread everyday. Now I know their secret to their sandwiches. Fresh made bread for their sandwiches. Yummx100. I have to share this mouth heaven moment with my sisters. Yumm yumm yumm."
