This time I saw a review of the pho and it is recommended to ask for ribs and oxtail which I did that. I just got back from Vietnam not too long ago and let me tell you this is hands down the best pho in San Antonio! The owner is so so friendly! He took me to the kitchen showing me how he cook the broth. We had a chat about Vietnam and the food and different style of pho between north and south. At the end of my meal he brought out snacks and insisted on me taking a hand full of them! I believe this pho is only offered on weekends and make sure to ask for the mix. For a moment they thought I was ordering one of each This supermarket and cafe truly give you a Vietnam experience without the need to get on a plane. Highly recommend

My First Choice! This is a cool international grocery store…read moreon Wurzbach, on the far end of the Spice Road cultural district. The shop has all kinds of African and Caribbean stuff. They've got a large selection of Goya products, canned foods and dry beans and spices. They've got a healthy selection of Caribbean colas, which are always fun. I could try them all! The frozen selection is amazing! They've got heaps of food that has been imported from afar to end up here under ice. There's a small produce selection that seems to favor plantains. If they don't have it fresh, they'll have it frozen. My favorite were the large African sculptures they were selling by the door. The clerk was friendly and said "hi" when I came in. The merchandise looked all pretty fresh. I wish there were some things to help explain what some of the ingredients and products were. It'd be nice if they had recipes or cards that explained that these items are snacks, and these are ingredients. But if I had any questions, the clerk was happily standing by to answer. Parking is easy- it's in an African/Filipino strip shopping center. Cool.

Ali Baba International Foods is one of the few places I can find Karoun Yogurt Drink in SA…read more My search for this drink started during a trip to Turkey where I traded my ice tea addiction for a Yogurt obsession when having a Middle Eastern meal or dessert. One bottle usually will satisfy my needs , while at the same time bring my memories back to a country far-far away.

The next time I went and told the manager the spice I was looking for and he made fun of my pronunciation saying he didn't know what I was talking about and then told me where to look. Hate to say he exemplified the male stereotype for his culture. That won't stop me from shopping at this store as I can find what I need at a fraction of the cost compared to Amazon.
