Finally got around to trying this place out and regret not going sooner! It's a small(ish) place so there was a small wait on a cold day but well well worth the wait! Once we got sat we placed our orders and had food in front of us in 15ish minutes? It was great. The wings were delicious, you could throw the sauce on a tire and I'd eat it. The bowls were so refreshing and delicious and the pho was perfect. I can't wait to go back! Give this place a try, be aware the parkings tight, don't get overwhelmed or thrown off find the parking get inside and be ready for some amazing food from amazing people! Side note: everytime the older Vietnamese women came to clear our plates as we finished she told us good job for fishing our food and tbh it felt so warming and homey without thought read more

I am afraid that I must change my review of Pho Kim Long. I am sad to do so because this was one of my favorite local restaurants for over a decade. However, my most recent encounter has soured me completely, and I think I will never return. My favorite dish here was something that did not appear on the menu, Bo Tai Chanh salad. Even though it was not listed, they would whip it up at my request. It consists of beef cappaccio on an iceberg lettuce salad with Vietnamese vegetables and a fish sauce based dressing. Tonight they refused my order. What makes this refusal all the more frustrating is that Pho Bo Tai Chanh (the soup version) is listed on the menu and promoted as one of the favorite dishes. All that was needed, to meet my request, was to cut up half a head of lettuce and throw the non-liquid ingredients of the soup on top. Every restaurant should remember the customer is always right. Their only purpose is to meet their customers' requests to the best of their ability. I understand when a kitchen cannot meet requests with the ingredients or equipment they have. For example, I always call 24 hours ahead to order Peking Duck because the traditional methods require that amount of time to prepare the dish. Or I remember being refused a request to have my meat served rare when the restaurant had already cooked all its meat to medium rare using sous vide. I don't expect the kitchen to do the impossible. But every kitchen must be ready to meet special request whether health related like peanuts, shrimp, gluten, salt, carbohydrates, etc. or relate to tastes or ethics like vegetarian, vegans, seafood, etc. To fail one's customers is the first step to being one of the numerous restaurants to fail and become irrelevant. Any restaurant that refuses to meet reasonable requests fails the fundamental test for good service and does not deserve to be patronized. P.S. I end up going down the road to Yaya's Thai Restaurant (another local restaurant) to get something that met my tastes and preferences. read more

I think if I had to say which was my top restaurant for 2025, it was probably Pho Kim Long. I've been a loyal customer of this amazing vietnamese restaurant for the last 5-6 years and I am obsessed with their pho. They are located in the Olmos park area and have the tiniest parking lot across from their restaurant, so just keep that in mind when visiting. They do tend to get super busy (specially during lunch) so I usually order takeout. The staff is always very nice and gets your order very quickly. The quality on their food is unbeatable and you can taste the freshness on everything they make. I recently caught the super flu and pretty much lived of their pho for the last week. Whatever they put in their broth is magic because it always makes me feel so much better after drinking it. Highly recommend coming here and enjoying some delicious and authentic pho! read more

There is a reason why Pho Kim Long is (in my opinion) one of the best pho places in SATX! They have been so consistent for years, I remember my first time coming in 2017, it still hits the same. SO GOOD, even the chinese dishes are incredible, high quality dishes that are always yummy. PH6 is my go to, but I always try new items every time I dine here. If you haven't tried it, ASAP yall! Service is fast, it can get busy and might have to wait but it's worth it. read more

The pho is always delicious and the atmosphere is great. Just be wary of the small parking lot in front! I recommend the steak pho and the calamari! read more

17 Dec 2025 Today was the perfect day for soup: gray, drizzly and a little cold. I ordered PH5 (shredded chicken, noodles, onions, delicious broth). The husband went with the brisket version. As usual the soups are accompanied by the plate of limes, jalapeños, sprouts, cilantro and basil. I add all of these and add siracha and hoisin sauce. Perfecto. Delicious food and excellent service.

Needed a pho fix, and this place had a good amount of reviews. My hubby and I decided to take a drive and try it. We ordered: fried rolls, PH 11: pho w/brisket and my hubby ordered PH12: pho with brisket, rare steak, and tendon, and a wonton soup (for my daughter). Pros: -food was good. I love their wonton soup more than the pho if I'm being honest. -pricing is reasonable -portions are great -A lot of food options and variety in their menu. They even have bubble (boba) tea. Cons: -Parking is VERY limited. My husband made his own parking spot on the grass area next to the back entrance to restaurant (I don't recommend lol). -service was slow and I was a bit annoyed because we were served after someone else that arrived after us. It is what it is though. -I ordered a Thai tea to drink and I didn't get it until after our meal came out. Overall good experience. Ambiance is casual. read more

For takeout it's a solid 4 out of 5. I did dine-in years ago and remember I didn't necessarily like the pho as much. The noodles were the perfect texture when the soup was poured in, and the rare steak in the pho was cooked just right. There were plenty of bean sprouts, cilantro, onions, and scallions. The soup itself was good, but slightly over seasoned for my liking. There was hoisin sauce but no sriracha unfortunately. The vegetarian spring roll had vermicelli and tofu, which was a little disappointing because there could have been other veggies added in there. I'll have to dine in again and try some of their other menu items to see if this rating holds. read more

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in downtown San Antonio! Small spot, little parking and crowded seating but the food is amazing! I believe they close too early but it's their style‍.I had the chicken pad Thai, crab Rangoon and Vietnamese spring rolls. It was all very delicious! Before I've had their special combination fried rice and it was awesome as well! A must try! Don't sleep on this place read more

My husband and I were both taken down by our toddler with an illness this week. The beef pho from Kim Long REALLY hit the spot when we were feeling down. The broth was nicely seasoned and so warm. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. They were able to accommodate a dairy allergy. They also kindly cooked my beef as I am pregnant and take a few extra precautions with rare meat. read more

I'll preface by saying the food is so good. I love the pho and fried shrimp/chicken rolls. I've been coming for years and seen 2-3 new owners in that time. I don't know what's changed but I haven't been in for a few months. I paid $8.61 for the fried shrimp rolls. It has 4 rolls in total. They seem much smaller and had 1 shrimp in the entire roll. It just seems different from how they use to be made and I'm not sure they're worth getting anymore. read more

Pho Kim Long - Ph-12 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My first time having Vietnamese food (in San Antonio), and -- as an Htown girl who has all sorts of Vietnamese fare options -- I gotta say this experience exceeded my expectations. I got the chicken banh mi -- amazing lemongrass flavor and wonderful crunch to the greens. My colleague got pho, perfect for the rainy day we dropped in. The place was really busy during lunch, so plan on waiting for a table. read more

Been here several times and the food is always outstanding. I always liked rank a restaurant by their bathrooms. And surprisingly cleanliness second to how hot the water gets on the faucet. I will tell you that it was instantly too hot to use and it made me smile and confirms this as one of the top restaurants in its cuisine. The services is standard and you can expect friendly and fast service. A must try if you are in the area. read more

Ok ok ok ok, I've had Pho Kim Long #2 in Las Vegas and was screaming when I saw there was a location in SATX. I immediately ordered a Lyft and made the 15 min drive from downtown. IT WAS WORTH IT. Came in for dinner at 6:15 pm on a Monday night and I luckily got a table, but within 15 min THAT PLACE WAS PACKED WITH A LINE OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR A TABLE. So beware lol. Once we ordered our food, it was out within 10 minutes. I went with the #13, Shrimp Pho. It was only $13.95 and the portion was huge! The shrimp in the pho was of high quality and very fresh. The broth was amazing and flavorful. Perfect for a cold night like for this storm passing by currently. Honestly my pho was a 10/10. My wife ordered some cream cheese wontons and those also were amazing! Another 10/10. Overall, I highly reccomend this place if you love Vietnamese food. It was worth the drive and the money. You will not regret swinging by. Thanks Pho Kim Long for the great food and hospitality! read more

The pho is really good and I also enjoyed the vermicelli. I thought the broth in the pho was very flavorful and the meat in the vermicelli was seasoned well. I thought the banh mi was just alright. I think they just didn't put as much pate and aioli as I'm used to. They were really popular and busy when I went with a group of 4 but there was only a slight wait. read more

Just tried Pho Kim. I ordered the chicken fried rice as I wasn't in the mood for soup. I shared shrimp spring rolls with my companion that were fresh and tasty. The fried rice was very good and served up in a generous portion. I definitely plan to go back and try more of their dishes. The restaurant is very clean and the service was friendly and efficient. Everyone we talked to said they were regular customers and that they enjoyed dining there. read more

It has a nice ambiance, and the layout is nice as well. The service was quick, and the food came out quickly as well. Both my sister and I shared the dumplings, which were delicious. We also got orange chicken, fried rice, and an egg roll. The fried rice was alright, but the orange chicken and egg roll were very delicious. read more

Extremely pricey for quantity and quality. Fried egg rolls are a rip-off. Menu says 4 pcs per order; they're actually 2 egg rolls halved into 4 pcs. Combo pho is almost a vegetarian dish with not much meat. read more

Most cities with any kind of significant Viet presence is going to have a Pho Kim Long in the mix. Unfortunately for San Antonio, they're not all the same and this one is somewhere in the middle. It's ultimately a fine place to dine in but I think their food more average than it is exceptional. The place is unique in its own right. The parking out front is as awkward as it is tight. The windows are completely blacked out likely due to the intense sunlight, but gives this an immediate shady feel (#1) despite being a sizable place. The tables are all 4 toppers, while a high ceiling with a chandelier sits perched about everything. If possible, aim for a booth. Food wise, I'll start with their pho, which is just somewhere in the middle. The murky and semi-dark broth is cloudier than it is clear and the taste is a tad sweeter than what i'd like. When in doubt, just order the special combination (#2) over any kind of pho. Seafood pho should probably be avoided if possible. Not sure how I feel about their banh mi or the "tau" egg rolls, the latter of which also has the Viet equivalent. The summer goi cuon rolls were a tad dry for my tastes and the fried rice and bun dishes are okay in a pinch. I would also heed caution for any of their Americanized dishes. Service also had some work to do, especially since they were a tad too slow to be available for my party. While I'm confident this place has seen better days, I think my experience here simply wasn't one of them. __________ (#1) In more ways than one. (#2) Dac biet for the win. read more

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!! They are always so efficient and crank out food at the speed of light while maintaining their delectability. It is always so homey and warm inside of the restaurant and all the waiters are so nice. I love it and I am obsessed with them. I don't have much money as I am a student but whenever I want to treat myself with my hard-earned money, I choose this place. The feeling i get when entering this establishment is absolutely electric. (heart emoji) read more

So delicious!!! The food was tasty, hot, and decently priced! We ordered 2 appetizers and a bowl of pho each and total was around $50 which is not bad for today's prices. We got an order of pork summer rolls, an order of Korean beef bbq, a pork pho, and beef brisket pho. All pho is served with beef broth. Service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and kind. We did not have to wait too long for food. This restaurant surpassed our expectations. It wasn't too loud inside, easy to carry conversation at the table. Can't wait to come back read more

Pho Kim Long - Large Pho bowls - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Had a notion for Vietnamese food and so we found Pho Kim Long and decided to give it a shot. I am VERY glad that we did! The Banh Mi (grilled pork) was outstanding. Great flavor and ingredients and very tasty bread, which can make or break a banh mi. The Vermicelli (bun) was exceptional as well. Great flavors, fresh ingredients. It really hit the spot. The ambiance is laid back and the service was very good. I highly recommend Pho Kim Long if you are looking for some great food read more

I am one of those weird Pho enthusiasts who would totally eat Pho everyday! But let's talk about this place. Starting with the outside, the parking lot is small, so I could see that being a problem during peak hours. I went around 1pm and was almost empty. So woohoo!! The host was pretty nice to us. Nothing to complain about that. Something I always look for is my basil leafs, chilli paste and chilli oil. And this place had all 3 of them. Just mentioning because manny places only give out cilantro (which I don't like) and don't even have chilli oil!!! The Pho taste was good! I've had Pho's with stronger broth taste which are my personal favorite, but this one was more mild, not to strong of a taste. Overall good experience. Thank you Pho Kim! read more

Our go to pho place in town! Yes, there are many others .But no one beats the broth and meat selection at pho Kim long. In comparison to other places the chicken in the pho actually has flavor and is not dry or skimpy with the portion.I want to try so much more on the menu but always stick with their amazing pho and Vietnamese fried spring rolls. They give plenty of the pho toppings which is always a plus. read more

Food is delicious and comes out very quick but they definitely need a seating method for organizational purposes. There was a heavy lunch rush and people were being sat out of order. There were even 2 couples that didn't know each other who were sat in a booth together. They seemed so uncomfortable. Come with patience. The food is still great! read more

Loved the establishment, clean friendly. Waiter was attentive. Had us some summer rolls. We're done right and came super fast. As well as their Pho. Buuut the temperature of the pho was not piping hot, wasnt cooking my raw brisket fast enough. Pho had a an unpleasant taste. It's really not a problem but I like Pho HOOOOT! I think it's the way it should be. Plenty of fresh fixings to go with it, plenty of noodles and meat(s). I feel I should give this a try again some time soon. read more

Pho Kim Long - Vermicelli Pork with Egg Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is my usual go-to spot for Thai food. The Pad Thai is super good, and the spring rolls are on point. The servers are super nice and on point, and often ask if you want your food spicy (I usually decline on the spice). The dining area is pretty small, so if you see a bunch of cars in the parking lot, be prepared to wait, but in all fairness, the wait is worth it. I recommend this spot to anybody who is looking for some decent Thai food. I also forgot to mention that they also serve Chinese food, so you can get either Thai and Chinese food! read more

Had the worst possible experience. I came in during dinner time put in my order and waited almost 35 minutes without any food being brought to my table. I kept waiting around since the restaurant was busy. Next thing you know waiter comes to me and tells me that they forgot what my order was and that they had not even put my order in yet. At this point, I had been waiting for closer to 45 minutes. That was extremely awful service and you will not see me visiting this establishment ever again. read more
