Im sad this will be my last time coming here til I manage to come back. It's been a family favorite for decades. They have the best pho I've ever had. The staff is amazing and they remember every little detail about repeat customers. It's like eating from grandma's kitchen. It's not fancy or anything. It's just delicious. I got fried rice in addition to my usual pho. Not sure why the camera isn't working today read more

I'm a review girly, i am disappointed that i read over 20 reviews before coming here just to find out none of y'all have good taste. i'm from the west coast, i've had some exceptional pho and i know everyone can't make it. this is one of those places that can't make it. if you're used to a flavorful broth, tender thinly sliced meat this ain't the place for you. first red flag was when i went to order the #2 pho, they ONLY do cooked meat. i should've got up right there bcs it just got worse. the meat isn't thinly sliced so you can't tear it apart, it's also super dry. imagine, chewing and chewing and chewing and the meat still intact. its super tough. which is why i prefer the raw thinly sliced beef. 0/10 broth had a decent flavor, 5/10 no chilli oil, 0/10 no limes but they did have lemons, 2/10 other then that, clean and quiet. the waitresses were nice, i didn't use the restroom but my partner did and she says it was clean. read more

Lien Hung Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in the San Antonio area! Being from Houston, surrounded by so many amazing restaurants I struggled in SA tryna find the right pho and boy lemme tell you LIEN HUNG IS THAT HEAT. Mmm mm mmm too good, comes with all the fixings, including the basil. Some places don't add that and the flavor is never complete for me. Their fried spring rolls are just immaculate, so crispy and light. I'm addicted to them, it's a must order. I'll be honest and say I'd never come across a spring roll fried this way until Lien Hung so that's the one thing I can say I'll probably always look for in Houston now too lol. Try them out!!! read more

Lien Hung Restaurant is a true hidden gem in San Antonio. This mom-and-pop shop serves the best pho in town. The broth is rich, the meats are tender, and the noodles are perfect. For authentic Vietnamese flavor, Lien Hung is unbeatable. Best in SATX! read more

Average pho place for San Antonio area, probably not the best option for pho. But if you live nearby or happens to do grocery shopping nearby and craving for pho then this place may be able to fill that craving. If you have time, there are probably better options out there. read more

This is definitely a whole in the wall, duvet kind of Thai restaurant that is off the beaten path. But the food is legit and affordable. Staff is friendly and will help with menu and explaining items if necessary. Food came out pretty fast; which is great when you're hungry. Sesame chicken was flavorful but a bit tough. Jaw muscles got a workout chewing this overcooked pieces of chicken. Their pho is legit. Some of the best I've had around town. Drawback is that they don't offer refills on drinks (cans) and they only accept cash. read more

Been going here for years. I love this food so much!!! The waiters are always extremely courteous and sweet. The Pho is delicious, the sesame chicken is delicious, I don't think I've ever had a single bad meal here. Its also always clean and tidy. read more

CASH ONLY.....CASH ONLY... know before you go..little place in the residential neighborhood..

oh my god I love it here if I could eat here every day I could this is my favorite restaurant to ever exist. the service is always incredible and I never have any complaints with my food ever. i would gladly die of obesity if it meant I could eat here every day read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by this place! I have to agree with lots of other people here. The outside isn't great and would have been a deterrent if My friend hadn't gotten recommended this place. The inside was very clean. No carpet, no weird smells. We were both happy to see that they served their Vietnamese coffee the authentic way. We also noticed that they have Bahn Cuon! I have asked all over town for this dish and this is the ONLY place that has it! They also had drab pho which isn't very common to have either. We got the lemongrass chicken and bun bo hue and both were good! The food was piping hot and fresh. HUGE plus. The women there were very sweet. I will definitely be back. read more

(We call this place Fratt Rd because it's on Fratt Road off Rittiman Rd) Their Pho is amazing , so are the spring rolls . Hidden little gem. Down fall is they only take cash or check . No debit/ credit cards. read more

Came in here on February 3 rd, around noon. This place is out of nowhere, but well worth the drive. Nice little restaurant, pretty extensive menu and they had some pretty good reviews. We were seated right away, our server was really nice and patient explaining us the menu as there is so much to choose from. The food was pretty awesome just not as authentic as I would like it to be. Definitely great value for the money in the portions were awesome. My recommendation is to stick with the Chinese food than the Vietnamese food. The one thing I did not care for was the older gentleman/owner staring at us on and off as we were eating awkward! I guess that's what happens when you pull up in a 2020 red Lamborghini . I guess Texas wasn't ready for that read more

Omg....not crazy about buffet's...BUT THIS PLACE...is CLEAN...and fresh!!! And omg yummy !!!

The sketchy Vietnamese place is what people I know call this spot. The reason is for the gated store and parking area with bars around the restaurant. Inside it's not sketchy at all. Just a normal Vietnamese restaurant. They only take cash so make sure you're prepared. They have a mixed menu of Vietnamese and Chinese food. I had the chance to try both. First visit, I had the pho dac biet which is the special combination pho with all meats. Portion sizes are decent and flavors are pretty good. The next visit I had the pepper steak. It was different from the authentic one but still good. Usually it has a lot of black pepper which gives it a good spicy kick, but this one was more like a gravy sauce on beef. Enjoyed the food here. read more

Lien Hung Restaurant - My favorite combination Pho! At least once a week ordering this food. - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Warning: CASH only! (Or checks, but do people still carry checkbooks around?!) First time here and the bun bo hue was YUM (little sweeter than I'm used to but better than the ones I've had so far in San Antonio!) They also add onion, which I'm not used to. They have a wide variety of Vietnamese and Chinese options and I'm excited to go back to try some other things that I haven't seen around other Vietnamese restaurants...I now have two Vietnamese restaurants that I'm eager to see which will become my favorite! Service wasn't bad... We sat ourselves down and the waiter finished his food quickly to greet us at the table. He was busy with his phone so I couldn't get his attention when I needed a small bowl but he jumped up as soon as he saw me approaching. The bill came out to be $18.94 and I gave him a $20 but he was either distracted with conversation or had no intentions to give me change (I was going to take the change and add tip so I ended up just handing him another dollar)...hmm... I'll still come back, I'm used to Asian services hehe read more

So SO delicious and came out quick and big portions and I am so full! Get the egg rolls as an appetizer (worth it) & my friend loved the Mongolian chicken dish. I started writing this as soon as I got in my car that is how delicious it was. Only thing is you MUST PAY WITH CASH OR CHECK so as long as you carry cash you're golden. read more

Food is good. But there is a young girl with a bad attitude towards customers. I will not go back there.

Everyone was super friendly and food was so good. You get a lot of food enough for left overs the next two nights. They only accept cash or checks, which is the only thing that isn't the best but Its worth going to the bank to withdraw what is needed. I'd highly recommend stopping by and eating here. read more

I used to eat here often until we moved to another city. We keep coming back when in town because it is as good as the first time I ate here twenty six years ago. Food is still amazing. Still my favorite Vietnamese restaurant anywhere. read more

The food and service is excellent. One of the hidden gems in San Antonio. Haven't been here in years due to health reasons but it has not changed. Not a fancy place but super clean. read more

Food was hot and ready, service was amazing. Definitely going back. Authentic food, very flavorful.

A little off the main road, quick service, prices are reasonable. Had the chicken pho and easy takeout. It looked like there were a bunch of people dining in. Server wore a face mask and had a sign posted on their front door about requirements of masks. read more

If it hadn't been for Yelp, I'd have never walked into this place. So glad I did! Best Pho I've had in a while. My waitress was very nice, she explained several of the apps to me since I'm basically a newbie to Vietnamese cuisine other than Pho. Everything was fresh and served hot and fast. Great little hole in the wall, I am now a regular! read more

I went here when I landed in San Antonio. It was a little tough to choose something that was not meat since it was lent season and a Friday. I ended up going with Shrimp fried rice. The fried rice was good and so was the Vietnamese coffee. read more

This is a pretty good place that was recommended by some co-workers. The challenge was getting there due to construction just about everywhere along the route. However, we did get there. Anyway, we ordered the combination fried rice, and two vermicelli bowls: mine with BBQ pork and spring rolls, the husband's with beef. The rice had an awesome flavor. If it was MSG, bring it on. So tasty. My bowl was also very good. The spring rolls not so much. Hardly any filling. The husband thoroughly enjoyed his bowl and scarfed most of the rice. The restaurant sits on its own enclosed by a fence plot of land with its own parking. The area is a mixed retail/residential setup. Kind of odd. Take a right out of the parking lot onto Fratt Road and you eventually hit Rittiman Road. We should have come in this way. Definitely easier going home. The place has two TVs on the wall, one set to CNN, the other to a cooking show, I believe. I have to admit because of the difficulty getting here, it might not be on our regular rotation. But it is worth a try. Be aware that this is cash only establishment, no credit cards. read more

Lien Hung Restaurant - Combination fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Mi vit tiem is not braised but is boiled. There is really no excuse to mess this up. A simple YouTube search will have videos to show how to make this. Banh canh is ok but gio heo is too chewy. Chao long is good. Com Tam is not good. The grilled pork chop is old but probably because it is 3 hours before closing. read more

After more than two years break I tried this place again. The ambiance didn't changed and the menu is now placed in a book, it has some pictures too. BUT: there must be a major change in the kitchen! I ordered Pho and it was delicious! Not fatty and seasoned just right. The accompanied veggies fresh and crispy. I returned to this place many times since I never left disappointed. I tried the rice noodle seafood soup with won-ton - great! I tried charbroiled pork chop & egg quiche - well done and delicious! Chicken with lemon grass - tender and seasoned to perfection. You can see the menu, and more dishes I tried, here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/69730369@N06/sets/72157633938392521/ Click on the pictures for a detailed description. I will keep going back and recommend this place to you too. Open everyday till 9PM, no credit cards - cash or checks. Enjoy! read more

I've been coming to lien hung ever since 2000, it reminds me of all the good ol high school days and memories spent here. It's been open for so long, they're doing something right with the food. Here's my quick pros/cons: Downsides: -Service isn't spectacular so don't have high expectations -cash or check only -parking can be difficult if you come during a crowded time -vermicelli bowl (#35) with meatballs and spring roll. What a disappointment! Its either i had poor quality taste as a high schooler or the restaurant has significantly lowered in quality. I asked for more veggies, not that iceberg lettuce is nutritional at all, but they didnt even load my bowl up with lots of greens. Plus it was noodle overload. Not a fan of this and ive had much better vermicelli bowls, especially in houston. -my sister got the mongolian beef and was surprised by the amount of beef they served. It was quite pathetic. She disliked her entire meal,so I wouldn't recommend ordering Chinese food at a viet restaurant. Upsides: -Vietnamese iced coffee is delicious, you cant mess up here. Tip: water it down so you can have at least 2 refills -Theyve renovated this place and the menus. So much better than what it used to look like before -my friend loves the lemon chicken here. You cant mess up lemon chicken. -my mom and sister got #5 combination pho and they scarved it up. The best thing is probably stick with the Pho. So all in all, I gotta give it 2 stars. My taste buds must have "grown up or matured" ever since I've been living in houston and having quality viet food. read more

Based on this first visit, I would be hard pressed to come back to this place. Nothing we ordered was remotely good. My husband ordered the #22 bun cha gio thit nuong (vermicelli noodle with egg rolls and grilled pork). The egg rolls and thin pieces of pork had no flavor. To make it even more bland, it was served with iceberg lettuce and cucumber. Pork wasn't even grilled. To be fair, the noodles had a nice toothsomeness and the accompanying fish sauce was ok. Some mints, basil, or cilantro would have helped make the dish a bit better. But alas, there were no herbs. Fail #1 Fail #2 was my dish, the special - bo kho (beef stew). This is was greasy dishwater with a hint of curry. Could not detect any use of lemongrass, star anise, ginger, tomatoes, or anything else that makes bo kho BO KHO! So why the generous 2 stars you ask? The service was ok and we did like the noodles, fish sauce, and bread. But we won't be regulars here. read more
