Pho Ba it the spot tonight. We were seated promptly and had most of the restaurant to ourselves. Overall the restaurant is clean and vibrant and the furniture has been well kept. We had the hot scallop appetizer which was amazing! I then ordered a spring roll vermicelli bowl with pork which was sensational. I really enjoy the same dish at Singh's and felt this was equally tasty! We definitely have booked mark this for going back! read more

Our go-to when it comes to Vietnamese food. My wife's favorite is the fried rice with beef & chicken; I usually have the chicken lemongrass bun. Both are outstanding. You know it's good when you walk in and the restaurant is packed. If you're in the neighborhood, you've got to try it. read more

9/10 -Vit Quay (crispy roasted whole duck) with a side rice -Bo Luc Lac (wagyu stir fry) Pho Ba 9 is a family-owned, authentic Vietnamese restaurant. We went with no expectations and came out happy and full. I ordered the Vit Quay and when they say "whole duck," they mean whole duck! They served it nicely cut up, with Bao buns, veggies, and the left over scraps. The Bo Luc Lac came with a pepper lime sauce, and was very delicious and flavorful. The waiter also let me take home the big ol bottle of hoisin sauce. The food is good, the proportions are fulfilling, the vibes are IT. Highly recommend if you're in San Antonio.

I gotta say this place was bussin. Out of all the pho places I've tried in Texas, this one takes the cake. The brisket was super tender and the broth was savory. I got some spring rolls that hit the spot especially with the unique peanut sauce. I definitely recommend and will go again next time I'm in Texas! read more

Through trial and error i've found a great pho spot again. Today we had Nikki as our server, super attentive and really nice! She took great care of us. We usually get #13 (regular raw steak pho) The pho was really flavorful per usual, even without dressing it up. Veggies were fresh and the lemons were juicy. Service was fairly quick, we didn't wait long. 10/10 The peach iced tea is buss down! 12/10 The inside is clean/organized. I noticed the servers consistently cleaning and checking on guests, we didn't use the bathroom but i'm assuming it's just as clean. overall 10/10 experience! this has become our regular spot. ( I was starving, I'll add pictures next time ) read more

Nicole, the owner, has a fantastic memory. I came once for lunch and didn't return for several months due to work. When I walked in she welcomed me back and commented that it had been a while. I am open to suggestions, and Nicole recommended the pho with filet mignon and smoked pork rib. It was phenomenal! The broth was so flavorful and nuanced, and the smoked rib added an extra element, that hint of smoke to enhance but not overpower the other flavors. Amazing. By far the best pho I've ever had. It hit all the right notes for me. My 3rd visit was last week. I brought my boss for lunch. He was raised in Houston and loves the dry vermicelli with pork and fish sauce. He loved it. It passed his taste test. I went with another recommendation from Nicole - fried noodles with seafood. I'm not sure what the name was. She showed me how to add soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and chili oil to tweak it to my preference. It was very good. My favorite is still the smoky pork rib pho, but I will keep trying other items on the menu. I love how unique their menu is with all of the types of seafood dishes. Highly Recommend! Top recommendation. The only thing I wish they also offered ... Banh mi sandwiches. That's a little side addiction of mine. read more

Best pho is the northeast, the wonton soup with pork is my favorite. I have never had a bad meal here. Service is good.

We are on our 4th visit to Pho Ba 9 and am very reluctant on writing a review because we don't want it to become a sensation, that is very deserving. At entering, you notice the cleanliness and the beautiful decor. If you go with a larger group, they can certainly accomodate with a large round table, that had a lazy susan? If that's what you call it? ‍ The service is impeccable, you immediately notice it from the initial greeting. The food has been 10+, every single time. You see surrounding tables getting their food and you say to yourself, "ewww, I'm ordering that next time". This place is a definite go! read more

We didn't order Pho, instead we asked the owner to bring us (5 people) whatever he suggested to eat family style dinner. He brought out salty fried squid (calamari), lobster with XO sauce, abalone with Chinese greens, sweet/sour catfish soup, hot pot catfish. He also brought us the tamarin with calamondin lemonade. All were excellent! Service was very tentative! Definitely, will come back when we are in town! read more

The ambiance inside is very beautiful. It seems small on the outside, but is very spacious once you enter. We were immediately greeted and seated. Everyone in my party, including the kids enjoyed their meals. The spring rolls were delicious. Both of the rolls I got were. My pho was delicious and plenty to take home. I also liked the food combinations and enjoyed the size of the shrimp in our dishes. In other restaurants, they tend to be really tiny, so that was a bonus. Would definitely go back. read more

We got the #22 with pork & a Vietnamese iced coffee + the lemongrass beef. Both were good portion sizes with lots of flavor and deliciousness. I loved the freshness of everything and they had super fast service. I placed my order there and got it togo within 10 minutes. read more

Pho Ba 9 has recently become our go-to pho restaurant! We tried another place but had to come back to pho ba 9. Not just for the pho, but other authentic dishes too. The food is consistently delicious, served fresh & hot. The establishment is always clean, service is good (sometimes a little language barrier depending on who serves you, but you can tell they try!). Nicky is always so welcoming and attentive! The temperature is a little warm inside especially when eating hot soup, but we can deal with that. Haven't had a bad experience... yet! read more

On par with the best Viet places I've eaten at, including the ones at Eden Center in VA. Pho was delicious and veggies were fresh. The veggies were a bit pricy but they explained it's bc they are imported, which is understandable. My server Nicky was extremely attentive and friendly, appreciate her service a lot. Will definitely come again. read more

Pretty nice place, clean decor and easy to read menu, etc. I ordered the beef rib Pho and the meat is fantastic. Just like my mothers recipe. Unfortunately however, rest is so so. It was on the good side, but still, there was some small things that bothered me. Other than those this place will be solid 4 stars. Still need to win me over with the taste for 5 stars though. Beef rib by itself is 5! read more

Service has been exceptional both visits. Ty and staff are very welcoming and thoroughly explain dishes with recommendations based on personal preferences. The lobster and clam dishes are fresh as they receive seafood twice a week. The duck is grilled and the wonton soup is flavorful. Very reasonably priced with customer service that goes above and beyond. Highly recommend supporting this family-owned business! read more

Pho Ba 9 - Fresh steamed lobster - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I read all these 5 star reviews, and my wife, sons, and I decided to try, and we were disappointed. I had the Pho brisket and steak, and there were 2 pieces of meat in this giant bowl of broth and veggies and noodles. Everything was bland, I don't complain when it's even mediocre. This was basically hot water with stuff. I even brought it up to "the manager" as we paid, He didn't say a word, I wasnt expecting free or even discounted because we ate, but every dish we ordered was either bland or little seasoning. Service was non-existent because it took 30 minutes for lunchtime crowd, and my sons had can soda, which they tried to sip waiting for food. No offer of another drink "thanks for waiting". I asked the manager after 20 minutes, and people after us were getting theirs first. "It's coming soon," he just went back and stood at the podium. We waited 10 minutes and I was just about to get up. Then, crap! I'll never go back nor would I recommend it either. read more

I have mixed feelings regarding this restaurant. The food was really good, and it tasted great. So I don't have any complaints about food. But the service was a little off putting. We ordered and then the starter dish came to the table in maybe 60 seconds. So we thought certainly it wasn't ours, also because it was slightly wrong. It was ours though, so we kept it. The pho came out almost immediately after. Less than 5 minutes for everything probably. It felt like the, I'm assuming, owner was only concerned about speed, he was running around everywhere. If he had just slowed down a bit, maybe the order would have been right. I overheard the table next to us tell him part of their order was also wrong. Also, he was so rushed to check out our payment that my card was charged twice when the reader malfunctioned. The food is very good, there doesn't need to be a rush. read more

Best pho I've had in San Antonio. Broth tastes much better than others around town. I grew up eating pho in Seattle and this place is by far the most comparable. read more

I came here with my wife for dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and appetizer. Fresh Summer Rolls, pho with brisket, and a chicken lemongrass bun bowl. The broth on the pho was delicious. I could drink it every day. Plus I love that they serve with cilantro AND basil. Great food! Maybe we came at a unique time, but it was only the two of us dining in on a Saturday evening. I hope more people support this business. read more

Definitely recommend the live scallops dish you can put rice in the shell with the residual juice and eat it that way. Very curious to try the other live seafood options. It's really close to the Vietnam market so if you feel inspired to cook Vietnamese food later you can go. The parking lot is inside a shopping center so the parking situation is fine. read more

Pho Ba 9 - Brisket pho and crab rangoons - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place came highly recommended by a friend of mine so we decided to give it a try. There were 6 of us who ordered several entrees and decided to have them served family style. The owner of the restaurant catered to us and set the dishes in the middle of our table, each entree with a serving spoon. We went with number 20 and 23 which were the egg noodles served with pork and the other had seafood. Both entrees were dry with broth on the side. We also ordered their rice noodle with pork and shrimp, pad Thai, sesame chicken and fried rice. Every dish ordered were all delicious. The serving sizes were ample and we had enough for a couple of to go containers. The service was quick, the restaurant was clean and the owners was extremely accommodating and friendly. We fully intend to return, this time with our husbands. read more

After years of shopping at the nearby Vietnam market and scouring San Antonio and Austin for a legit Vietnamese restaurant that doesn't taste like their broth came from the same distributor as every other place, we decided to try this place.
