Pho Kim Long

Ok ok ok ok, I've had Pho Kim Long #2 in Las Vegas and was screaming when I saw there was a location in SATX. I immediately ordered a Lyft and made the 15 min drive from downtown. IT WAS WORTH IT. Came in for dinner at 6:15 pm on a Monday night and I luckily got a table, but within 15 min THAT PLACE WAS PACKED WITH A LINE OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR A TABLE. So beware lol.Once we ordered our food, it was out within 10 minutes. I went with the #13, Shrimp Pho. It was only $13.95 and the portion was huge! The shrimp in the pho was of high quality and very fresh. The broth was amazing and flavorful. Perfect for a cold night like for this storm passing by currently. Honestly my pho was a 10/10. My wife ordered some cream cheese wontons and those also were amazing! Another 10/10.Overall, I highly reccomend this place if you love Vietnamese food. It was worth the drive and the money. You will not regret swinging by. Thanks Pho Kim Long for the great food and hospitality!

My first time having Vietnamese food (in San Antonio), and -- as an Htown girl who has all sorts of Vietnamese fare options -- I gotta say this experience exceeded my expectations. I got the chicken banh mi -- amazing lemongrass flavor and wonderful crunch to the greens. My colleague got pho, perfect for the rainy day we dropped in. The place was really busy during lunch, so plan on waiting for a table.

Been here several times and the food is always outstanding. I always liked rank a restaurant by their bathrooms. And surprisingly cleanliness second to how hot the water gets on the faucet. I will tell you that it was instantly too hot to use and it made me smile and confirms this as one of the top restaurants in its cuisine. The services is standard and you can expect friendly and fast service. A must try if you are in the area.

The pho is really good and I also enjoyed the vermicelli. I thought the broth in the pho was very flavorful and the meat in the vermicelli was seasoned well. I thought the banh mi was just alright. I think they just didn't put as much pate and aioli as I'm used to.They were really popular and busy when I went with a group of 4 but there was only a slight wait.

Had a notion for Vietnamese food and so we found Pho Kim Long and decided to give it a shot. I am VERY glad that we did!The Banh Mi (grilled pork) was outstanding. Great flavor and ingredients and very tasty bread, which can make or break a banh mi. The Vermicelli (bun) was exceptional as well. Great flavors, fresh ingredients. It really hit the spot. The ambiance is laid back and the service was very good. I highly recommend Pho Kim Long if you are looking for some great food

Most cities with any kind of significant Viet presence is going to have a Pho Kim Long in the mix. Unfortunately for San Antonio, they're not all the same and this one is somewhere in the middle. It's ultimately a fine place to dine in but I think their food more average than it is exceptional.The place is unique in its own right. The parking out front is as awkward as it is tight. The windows are completely blacked out likely due to the intense sunlight, but gives this an immediate shady feel (#1) despite being a sizable place. The tables are all 4 toppers, while a high ceiling with a chandelier sits perched about everything. If possible, aim for a booth.Food wise, I'll start with their pho, which is just somewhere in the middle. The murky and semi-dark broth is cloudier than it is clear and the taste is a tad sweeter than what i'd like. When in doubt, just order the special combination (#2) over any kind of pho. Seafood pho should probably be avoided if possible.Not sure how I feel about their banh mi or the "tau" egg rolls, the latter of which also has the Viet equivalent. The summer goi cuon rolls were a tad dry for my tastes and the fried rice and bun dishes are okay in a pinch. I would also heed caution for any of their Americanized dishes.Service also had some work to do, especially since they were a tad too slow to be available for my party. While I'm confident this place has seen better days, I think my experience here simply wasn't one of them. __________(#1) In more ways than one.(#2) Dac biet for the win.

Our go to pho place in town! Yes, there are many others .But no one beats the broth and meat selection at pho Kim long. In comparison to other places the chicken in the pho actually has flavor and is not dry or skimpy with the portion.I want to try so much more on the menu but always stick with their amazing pho and Vietnamese fried spring rolls. They give plenty of the pho toppings which is always a plus.

Every time I have gone I have had subpar service. The atmosphere is a nice relaxing vibe, but either we get sat and have to wait upwards of 10-15 minutes for drink orders. Just to receive the incorrect drink, or food comes out super super late. I'm talking 30-40 with nobody in the restaurant. Overall I feel like the service could absolutely be better, however I did rate this place 5 stars for one specific reason. The pho here is absolutely incredible. It is so good you can skip most of the toppings and still have an amazing meal. Overall that really makes up for the lack of service.

Amazing pho and fast service! My go to for quick cheap food. Park can be a hassle but well worth it

Great food and the workers and servers are sweet and tender to you quickly. Great customer service always! Usually always busy!
