    Vegetable 21. Pho Rau Cai - Veggie
    Taylor S.

    Every experience I have here is phenomenal. Down to the customer service, food, ambiance it's all there. Some of the best pho in SA. 10/10 ‍‍‍

    Juliett D.

    Food served quick! Restaurants is hidden in Walzem and has great plates. My fav is the sesame chicken.

    Pho Đặc Biet
    Ken Q.

    Great ambience and decorative specially those real mopped. Service fast and friendly. Pho was service very quickly and very hot soup which was great. Pricing is a bit higher for the portion served.

    Came here because everyone at work talks about this place. Great prices and great quality food. They were literally so quick. Chill spot, great for a rainy day. Try the peach iced tea!

    Spring rolls
    Astelia B.

    If you want authentic you got it! The pho is so good! Portions are amazing. The spring rolls also so good. Would love to continue to go since it's so good, I'd like to try other dishes but the pho is so good that I can't help but order anything else. The staff is friendly and prompt. Love the idea that we are supporting our community with this establishment. You won't be disappointed in this place

    15. Pho Tai - Rare Steak

    Pho was good. No hoisin sauce or chili flakes provided. (I like mine really spicy). Broth was fresh and hot. Portion size was amazing and restaurant wasn't too busy so service was very fast.

    The restaurant has a very large and varied menu. The service is attentive, and the portions are more than enough of food. The staff keeps the restaurant very clean and you can see the fresh seafood in the live tank. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of everything we got. We love the spring rolls and vermicelli bowls. There are so many options to choose from on the menu. They have a constant take-out customer base which is a good sign. Great comfort food when it's cold outside.

    Filet Mignon pho
    Stephanie M.

    I love this place . I at least go twice a month , I have tried several pho places in San Antonio and no one else compares to the flavor and quality of the food . The staff is friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this gem

    Brisket & filet mignon pho
    Cristina B.

    Very open and welcoming ambiance! We were seated/served very promptly! Their menu is pretty extensive and somewhat overwhelming but it made it easy that we all were set on ordering pho! My friend that was with us said their other (non-pho) menu options are really good too! Pricing is reasonable as well. I have to say this is my favorite pho place so far in SATX! The broth was so rich and flavorful! Highly recommend! I'll definitely be returning!

    Jacy M.

    I ordered the Mi Kho (Dried Egg Noodle and BBQ Pork) and Tra Do (Sweet peach iced tea) for delivery and loved everything. Ive never ordered anything other than Pho from this place before (which is also amazing), but I definitely will order this again.

    Pho Ba 9 is absolutely amazing! Yesterday I was around the Live Oak area and was craving some pho. I don't know much about the restaurants in this side of town so decided to check on Yelp for recommendations. After reading Yelper's Jimmy D review, I was totally sold about this place (you should definitely read his review!). Pho Ba 9 not only serves your typical Vietnamese dishes, they also have a larger variety of Vietnamese dishes which you don't see too often. In case you are not very familiar with a dish and would like to see a picture, they have a QR code on each table that has images of ALL the dishes on their menu. For my first time I decided to go with the classic Pho Ga, and to share my husband and I ordered fried rice with filet mignon in a garlic butter sauce. Everything came out super quick and was 10/10. The pho broth was packed with flavor and exactly what I needed on a cold winter day. The fried rice was so flavorful and the meat was very tender. I had never had fried rice like this before, and would definitely come back just for that alone.

    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!

    $16 for mediocre pho... hopefully that's enough said. Also, $6.50 for forgettable Vietnamese coffee.

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

Walked in and waited for a few minutes before someone handed us menus and told us to sit wherever. Just handed us menus...in a kind of "just go sit down kinda way". Not real friendly. The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot. I felt my pot in particular, was over-loaded with huge chunks of veggies that could have been better chopped as to be more manageable. More chicken and beef in that chicken and beef pot, too, please ... The person waiting on us, if you could call it that, was not personable and could not have cared less about interacting.

It was the in between time of late lunch 2:30-3pm so we thought we would miss the Sunday afternoon church rush. The parking lot and restaurant was full but didn't let it scare us. Only had to wait 5 mins. Don't let the full restaurant fool you. The wait staff checks in often and moves tables very fast. Pro tip- you can hang outside and check out the koi fish in the pond to kill some time Sat down and drinks came out fast ordered dim sum which came out in the cute steam baskets first. Shrimp Shumai and pork bao buns were so good. My kids asked for seconds We also ordered the sweet and sour chicken, spicy eggplant/tofu, shrimp& broccoli and the combination fried rice. Everything was perfectly seasoned with the exception of the sweet and sour chicken. It was very bland. Next time I want to order the orange peel chicken instead. Looked good and now we know! So much food we'll have leftovers for a few days. Score!

    My daughter and I cannot recommend this restaurant. It was better 15 years ago…read more It is too westernize now; meaning the food is more cater/made for western taste. When you walk in up to the restaurant, the view of ponds with large koi fish was very welcoming, however as soon as you open the door/walk in...it's a chaos of sports on tv and western music that will burst your burst your tranquility from the front of the restaurant. The restaurant was busy since it was lunch. We were seated right away. However it took the waitress a few before knowledge our small table. The waitress was in a hurry and look like she already had a bad day. She asked quickly what we would like the drink and we said water and hot tea but ask what type of tea they have? She mumble something I could not understand. So my daughter ask for green tea. We started off with appetizer as usual. Shrimp toast, chicken wrap, Asian bbq ribs then a cup of hot & sour soup. Main dish were Moo Shu Pork and Mongolian beef. Soup came out first...it was lukewarm. Cup was hot but soup was lukewarm. It was vinegary and salty. This is the first time I had seen/tasted imitation crab meat in a hot and sour soup. I'd flag the waitress down to let her know the soup was cold and if she can bring me another or warm it up for me. She gave me an annoying look and took the soup back to the kitchen. The Asian bbq ribs come out then the shrimp toast a few minutes later. The shrimp toast looks appealing. The shrimp were whole shrimp on top of bread, fried bread. It was ok...no real taste and a bit greasy. There were too much honey and chewy/tough for the Asian ribs. My soup comes back hot to touch... which means it was microwave...but not an issues; what was is ...it was still lukewarm soup. I try to finish it but couldn't. Soup needs to be hot; especially hot & sour soup. The chicken lettuce wrap was delivered. It was again salty; no real taste, except for the salt. A lot of mushrooms over powering the this dish. Keep in mind we had a small table and dishes are pilling up. It took a few before anyone came to pickup the plates. Half way through our appetizer, the waitress dropped off Togo boxes with a bag right after the chicken wrap was dropped off.... Staying it's for later. So we went ahead and packup the appetizers into the Togo boxes to make room. The main dishes came out about 10 minutes later. My daughter was very surprised by her Mongolian beef. It looks more like pepper steak then Mongolian beef. Most Mongolian beef are cook with green onions, yellow onion, garlic, sesame seeds and large slices of beef...some with a little sauce other dry so this is a the first for us to see a Mongolian beef looks like that. It was again too salty. There was more bell pepper than beef. The beef was slice small. The moo shu pork come out already wrap?? Which confuse me. Most of the time the thin rice pancake is on the side and moo shu pork is a little sweet and savory that comes with plum sauce so you can spread as little or lot of plum sauce into the rice pancake then top it off with moo shu pork. Since it was all roll up...it was very messy trying to pull it open to put the plum sauce. The dish lack favors...it had a char like taste. Usually moo shu pork is very flavorful and fill with flavorful juice from the ingredients like cabbages, bamboo, onion, mushrooms and eggs. There was no favor except a char taste. I have eaten here before a long time ago and it's definitely not the same taste/food and experience. We pack the food home so we can get a second opinion from other family members and the results were the same. I would never recommend for anyone looking for Asian cuisine. But if you like America/Asian cuisine/atmosphere then this is a place for you.
