    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
    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.

It was coated with flour like fried chicken instead of corn starch which it should be Couldn't taste the black bean sauce although the sauce was strong Sweet and sour soup was full of good items but so much pepper it made me cough Soups are in tiny cups they call small bowls White rice is good and sticky Shrimp with lobster sauce is nothing like it should be, mostly corn and tasteless, I mean tasteless like water Not the usual recipe others serve. The beef rice noodles were like I would make from a reg pan at home without, again, taste. They need that wok taste but it's not there So disappointed, not cheap either , easily $18 a plate Place was clean and looked decent but what good is that if the food is lousy?

Each of the lunch specials come with crab rangoon, egg roll and soup (I chose egg drop soup). We had the Shrimp and Vegetables, Sesame Chicken, and Triple Delight.

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. His drive by meal drop-offs were the epitome of antisocial. Probably won't return.

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!
