    This past Wednesday, we visited a restaurant we haven't been to in years. A Dong Restaurant serves both Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. Hubby and I both had the Coconut Drink that was very refreshing. Love the fresh coconut meat! Dad had Soy Bean Milk. We started off with the Vietnamese Egg Rolls and Crab and Corn Soup. The soup tasted good but the crabmeat was not the star of the dish. Hubby had the Beef Rice Noodle, which is one of his favorite dishes. I tried some and it was tasty. Dad and I shared the Stir Fry Vermicelli Combo without the curry since we didn't like spicy. There was some flavor but could've use some more. There are 2 locations. We visited the 5222 DeZavala Rd., Suite 318 location. The other location is on Agora Parkway in Selma.

    Crispy fried squid

    Please note: I am Viet and from Houston. I had to add that because I will say for San Antonio - they place is good enough if you are craving Viet food! Did not have the pho that most non-Viets would probably believe Viet food is about but ordered squid, noodles, chinese broccoli and fish. If you ever want to venture outside of pho, be sure to bring at least four people so you can eat family style! I will say you can definitely taste the MSG and salt in their dishes. Food came out fast. Service is on par with typical Asian restaurants - don't expect high quality service. As someone else mentioned, I think they like to make their own hours so I would call to make sure the restaurant is open. We went at 1030am on a Friday which is stated on their doors but I don't think they opened until after 11am.

    My Pho Ga--- husband w/ Bun. Yum!
    Theresa G.

    100% Gold standard. Best pho in town. Bar none. Never had better-- believe me, I've tried many other places. The Bun (grilled beef and vermicelli) and Vietnamese egg rolls were also to die for. Service was good and the price is reasonable. I'm convinced- this is the go-to place for Vietnamese!

    A memorable dining experience. Great beef noodle soup, reasonable prices, and friendly service.

    Pepper steak

    So delicious! Pepper steak was great, the egg rolls were fresh and crispy and that coffee!!! The most delicious Vietnamese coffee I've had in SATX! We were the only people in there but the service was really quick, our waiter was so polite, and the inside of the restaurant was nice! Calm and quiet, not super crazy busy or packed. Loved it and will be sure to come back soon for that coffee!!

    Vietnamese rolls

    This place is a so hidden, this was a drive by and try, Pho was full of flavor, fresh, hot, service was persistent, never a half empty tea, weird decor but it was like A chill vibe. Decent price but the soup is a big bowl.

    Shaken beef aka Bo luc lac
    Hiro C.

    It's located in an accessible location. Plenty of parking spots. The restaurant is roomy, bright, and clean. Not a fast food joint. Service was good.The staff were polite and efficient. I ordered the spring roll and a shaken beef. The spring roll was slightly above the average size. It was fresh and flavorful. Usually oversized ones tend to be overfilled with the rice noodles. But these ones have plenty of herbs, shrimp, and pork. The sauce was a bit too runny for me. The shaken beef (bo luc lac) look great. Plenty of chunks of beef with a great sauce. The taste was well balanced. However it did not come with a tomato fried rice. Price is a bit steep. Houston has better in both price and quality. But when in SA, I'll be back again.

    Salt & Pepper Tofu (swapped from pork)
    Monica A.

    Looking for places that serve tofu as part of their proteins, in Texas is like looking for a needle in a haystack lol I came in to look at the menu, and saw they have tofu, so opted to sit down and eat. Was allowed to chose where I wanted to sit, and server promptly came over to ask about refreshments.. Service overall was very friendly, quick, and attentive. The portion was easily for 2 people or 2 meals, I came hungry so are just over half and still had a good amount of leftovers. Food was made fresh, it came out hot and tasty, and all very reasonably priced. They provided me a Take Out Menu in case I'm interested in placing to-go orders... they have a great menu. The restaurant itself had other patrons but wasn't full, quiet ambiance that allows people to talk, low background music.. Would I go back? Yes :)

    Vietnamese egg rolls
    Patty H.

    I've got to say that I keep going back to this place. Their food is always made fresh and their veggies are always fresher than any other Vietnamese place I've eaten in the area. It's a no none sense, no frills type of place with great food and fast service. I haven't had anything here that I would not order again. I will keep coming back to A Dong.

    For lunch today, I thought to try Wahkee Chinese Cuisine. I ordered through GrubHub and picked up…read moreour order. Their lunch specials were good value and great quality. 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. For the most part, all the food was good. The chicken was slightly dry. I still recommend trying their lunch specials.

    Everyone raves about Wah Kee in this part of town and, since it had been many years since we'd been…read morethere, we decided to give it a try for lunch in case things had gotten better during that break. 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.

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
