    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 ‍‍‍

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Filet Mignon pho

    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.

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.

It's been about a year or so since we've been coming here fairly regularly and I really cannot complain about anything specific. Most meals are excellent with a I miss now and then, but overall, I would never complain about that. The price of their meals seem to be stuck in a world without crazy tyrant leaders, and inflation out the roof, though I don't know for how much longer that will remain. Wah Kee! Stay true to who you are and you'll always have happy people coming back to you!

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.
