The food is absolutely amazing. I have gone twice and the food is top notch. My only issue is the servers are extremely dry and are not welcoming. They don't smile or talk to you they just walk in front of you and just be ready to give them your order. I recommend for amazing authentic food or delivery it's a 10/10 service I received on 2 visits are 2/10. Nobody is rude in any way just not friendly. The only one who was kind is the owner as he checked us out and he was the only one who talked to the customers and smiled.
First time coming here, food was pretty good and service was as well . My Mongolian beef was cooked just right and had lots of flavor. Egg roll was crunchy and delicious, and my black iced coffee was great. They have lots of food choices
This Vietnamese restaurant is hands-down the best in San Antonio. Every single dish we tried was fantastic—from the comforting, aromatic pho to the flavorful broken rice dishes, the bold and spicy Tom Yum Thai hotpot, and the fresh, perfectly cooked seafood. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and clearly prepared with care. The balance of flavors is just spot-on—savory, rich, and deeply satisfying. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. Whether you're a fan of classic Vietnamese dishes or looking to try something new, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, top-tier Vietnamese cuisine in the city.
We are not come to this restaurant for the Pho!! I know they are famous for their Pho, but you are seafood lover, you should try their Steamed Lobster, Spicy Clam, Ginger and Scallion Crab. We tried Fish Maw and Crab Soup too. Every thing was it's own delish taste and seasoned just right. Not to spicy, you can taste the sweetness of lobster meat, the smell of fresh crab and all of the seafood are not smell fishy at all. It's kinda $$$ for the seafood menu, but it's worth it!!!
Awesome spot for pho in San Antonio. I was craving pho and this was a great spot to fill that. I got the combination special and the broth was just right. Fried egg rolls were on point. My friends of Thai was great too. Everything came out super fast and I was very surprised. Staff was super friendly and patient. I will definitely come back to try more.
