    Combination shrimp pho And toppings

    I order pho. It's tasty and soup is so perfect taste. They has lots of variety menus. Location is kind hidden area. But not busy street area. You should try here place.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Bun bo hue. Only place we have been to here that has both blood and pork foot!

    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.

    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

    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.

    My favorite combination Pho! At least once a week ordering this food.

    Finally got around to trying this place out and regret not going sooner! It's a small(ish) place…read moreso there was a small wait on a cold day but well well worth the wait! Once we got sat we placed our orders and had food in front of us in 15ish minutes? It was great. The wings were delicious, you could throw the sauce on a tire and I'd eat it. The bowls were so refreshing and delicious and the pho was perfect. I can't wait to go back! Give this place a try, be aware the parkings tight, don't get overwhelmed or thrown off find the parking get inside and be ready for some amazing food from amazing people! Side note: everytime the older Vietnamese women came to clear our plates as we finished she told us good job for fishing our food and tbh it felt so warming and homey without thought

    I am afraid that I must change my review of Pho Kim Long. I am sad to do so because this was one of…read moremy favorite local restaurants for over a decade. However, my most recent encounter has soured me completely, and I think I will never return. My favorite dish here was something that did not appear on the menu, Bo Tai Chanh salad. Even though it was not listed, they would whip it up at my request. It consists of beef cappaccio on an iceberg lettuce salad with Vietnamese vegetables and a fish sauce based dressing. Tonight they refused my order. What makes this refusal all the more frustrating is that Pho Bo Tai Chanh (the soup version) is listed on the menu and promoted as one of the favorite dishes. All that was needed, to meet my request, was to cut up half a head of lettuce and throw the non-liquid ingredients of the soup on top. Every restaurant should remember the customer is always right. Their only purpose is to meet their customers' requests to the best of their ability. I understand when a kitchen cannot meet requests with the ingredients or equipment they have. For example, I always call 24 hours ahead to order Peking Duck because the traditional methods require that amount of time to prepare the dish. Or I remember being refused a request to have my meat served rare when the restaurant had already cooked all its meat to medium rare using sous vide. I don't expect the kitchen to do the impossible. But every kitchen must be ready to meet special request whether health related like peanuts, shrimp, gluten, salt, carbohydrates, etc. or relate to tastes or ethics like vegetarian, vegans, seafood, etc. To fail one's customers is the first step to being one of the numerous restaurants to fail and become irrelevant. Any restaurant that refuses to meet reasonable requests fails the fundamental test for good service and does not deserve to be patronized. P.S. I end up going down the road to Yaya's Thai Restaurant (another local restaurant) to get something that met my tastes and preferences.

Bright, clean space with exceptionally friendly staff and service. Started with the fried tofu fresh spring rolls. Unique and delicious. Super freah veggies and tasty tofu.

All things in my mind brought this down from a 5 star to a 4. Clean up the tables is definitely something the restaurant has control over. We sat down, and the acetone smell dissipated so either I was use to it or they turned down a shared ventilation system. The food though was the big surprise! It was excellent. We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.
