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.

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.

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

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!

LaRonda G.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

28. Mi Kho Or Hu Tieu Kho Xa Xui - Dried Egg Or Rice Noodle With Sliced Bbq Pork With Won Ton.

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.

this place is by far the worst Vietnamese I have encountered in San Antonio. the Pho had no flavor, the fried rice was old and way too much egg. the rice was crispy and had an old taste. they brought my daughter boiled shredded chicken on the side for her pho and it was rubbery and no flavor what so ever. the service was bad- everyone had an unpleasant attitude. What a very strange environment. nobody finished their food. I ordered the shrimp pho and had maybe 5 bites and was disgusted. read more

I stumbled on this place searching through Yelp. The service was good but, we needed to ask for things instead of it just being brought out ( water, utensils, extra plates, veggies for the pho). They were very apologetic, though. The menu had so many things that you wouldn't find in San Antonio like, jellyfish salad, sea cucumber, different lobster dishes, razor clams( although they didn't have any). What we did order was really good. The pho had alot of meat in it and the broth was excellent. read more

You know that song "Love on a Two-way Street?" Well, I've found love and that Street called Walzem. It's hard living in SATX after Houston and being spoiled by all the bomb food from the Asian diaspora. This spot, however, gives me big H-Town Asian vibes! I only stopped in for the crab fried rice and I had them make it in XO sauce. That joint was spiritual!

Decided to give this place a chance when I wanted to try a new place and after seeing the reviews. The reviews are certainly justified. Prices are comparable and the Pho has much more flavor as well as more meat. Service is excellent as well; short wait times all around. Have been back already and found my new lunch spot. read more

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.

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.

Tiger’s Chinese Cuisine

A co-worker and I discussed the seeming difficulty finding good Chinese food in San Antonio. He and…read moreanother co-worker recommended I try Tiger's. Unfortunately, my search continues. 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. His drive by meal drop-offs were the epitome of antisocial. Probably won't return.

Is it my favorite Sichuan restaurant in town? No! I am pretty loyal to the restaurant I usually go…read moreto. I still like to go check out other places. I have been to this restaurant several times which I did like. It rank higher than the other few places available in San Antonio. The service is always good and from observing I see a lot of Chinese families visiting and chit chatting with who seems to be the owner. I do like that a lot! It gives a positive sign about the restaurant itself The portions are huge! I ordered the whole chicken? Sichuan style. I asked if it is the whole chicken I don't know if language barrier lol she did the sign of no no with her hand. It is actually maybe equal to 2 chickens! Not complaining! I was very happy with it! I will keep on returning to try more things on the menu

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!

Unless I'm dying for dim sum, prob won't come again. Even the dessert sesame balls I ordered were…read morenot fresh and sat around for awhile. We wanted fish and ordered both the ginger steamed and the garlic black bean. Neither had much taste and what did taste was like I cooked it, which is no compliment Rice is so important to me and they have the cheap grain that's hard and doesn't stay hot We had both the white and brown Service is good Flies are everywhere The whole place esp restrooms need a rehaul. Seating is not comfortable with the hard chairs and the booths that have tears on them and are bumpy. Even the parking lot needs help

Pinkerton's Barbecue

My family and I recently visited Pinkerton's Barbecue, and it was an outstanding experience from…read morestart to finish. The employees were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Great customer service like that really makes a difference. The food was absolutely delicious. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was a 10/10--full of flavor with a nice spicy kick that wasn't overwhelming. The regular sausage was also a 10/10 and just as impressive. The brisket was juicy, tender, and loaded with flavor in every bite. For sides, we tried the macaroni and cheese with bacon, and it was phenomenal. Rich, creamy, and easily one of the best sides I've had. The jalapeño rice was something I've never had before, and it was surprisingly unique and incredibly good. Overall, Pinkerton's Barbecue delivered amazing food and exceptional service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great barbecue.

Without a doubt, this is the BEST brisket and pork (glazed) ribs I've ever had! 10/10!! It melts in…read moreyour mouth and has incredible flavor!! The coleslaw was meh 2/10 - none of my friends liked it either. The potato salad and Texas beans were fantastic, but the bananas foster pudding was also disappointing. It was worth the wait (80 min) for the meat (they ran out of their beef ribs at 3:45pm). I would recommend calling in your order and skipping the line. You can pick up your meal and eat at one of the many available picnic tables! We were envious of the people who walked right in and got their food!

Lunch special until 3 pm…read more Food was 4 star, the whole beans received in cup, was more bean soup than whole beans. Beef taco /shell 5,star. Beef enchilada was 3 star, needed more flavor. Food quality has not been constant on our visits, usually late lunch times. Server was great. Answered my questions and addressed my concerns at the end of our lunch. The recurring major flaw, is the way the restaurant inside was designed. It is beautiful but made with all hard surfaces. Nothing present to absorb sounds. As a result sounds inside magnify to a point our servers have had to bend over or take a knee to gather clients food orders during busy times. I feel like I am ar a big Spurs game with the sound bouncing around. Those at our table have had a hard time to have a conversation with each other at times. The small room up front is designed so sound bouncing off hard surfaces is worst in this room. I have had to ask to be relocated twice from this room due the sound level. The kitchen area in the front do not have doors to abd from the kitcgen to the dinibg rooms. Another design flaw, as a result the seating areas loud sound comes into the kitchen area. I can not imagine how the staff communicate to each other in this work setting.

Such clean vibes and lots of seating all around which is great when this place gets busy. I met a few of my girlfriends for lunch while our kids were in school, and yes why not, we got some margs to enjoy our kidfree time. We ordered: House Margarita Mango Chamoy Margarita Hibiscus Margarita Birria Taco Plate Fish Ceviche appetizer Double enchilada plate Chile Relleno plate Loved the fish in that ceviche! So tender and lots of flavor!! the Birria tacos were flavorful and meat was so juicy!! Our server also offered 2 types of other salsas to try and wow, I love them both!! One of them was definitely spicier, which I did enjoy (I love my spicy!!)! That mango chamoy marg was so good!! SO good that I ordered 2 of the large!! haha!! Our server was attentive and was prompt with bringing our food and drinks in a timely fashion. He even helped taking a group pic of us which we rarely even can get any shots of just us vs kids always in there some how! Would definitely be back to try more of the options available!! Parking: LOTS of parking (at least from what I can see while we were there during lunch time)

Hands down the best pho and boba place ever! This is my fave spot to grab a bowl of pho--it's always packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The broth is so rich, and the fresh ingredients just hit the spot every time. And don't even get me started on the boba! The tapioca pearls are the perfect texture, and the drinks are always so refreshing. The vibe here is awesome too--super chill, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I come here as often as I can, and I'm never disappointed. If you're a pho or boba fan, this place is a must-visit. My go-to for sure! read more
