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

Do not purchase produce at Asia Supermarket. Two days ago, I…read morepurchased a Cherimoya fruit at this market (that I frequently shop at). Today, I went in to return/exchange what I discovered to be rotten fruit. There was dark matter on the bottom of the fruit, as shown in the video. The store manager refused to do the return/exchange, and I am left with the thought that customers are then expected to purchase bad fruit from them, with no recourse. Love this store, but do yourself a favor, and get your produce from somewhere else.

Having been twice, I realize they have an expanded menu only available during the weekends (including bbq skewers). The line moves relatively quick and the service is great considering the amount of space and numerous food options. I highly recommend ordering a full plate of pancit, shumai, lechon, lumpia, and chicken. Next time, I'll get the bbq skewers and fried rice. Be sure to browse the aisles for some staple items. They have a variety of noodles, sauces, spices, frozen meats and prepared foods, drinks, etc.

The staff is friendly and welcoming. As you walk to the rear of the market you reach the restaurant. Seating is very limited as there are supplies everywhere. The food is cafeteria style on a hot line. You basically point and ask for what you want. Combos are served with Pancit, steamed rice, and lumpia. I ordered the kare-kare which was super tender and flavorful. I appreciate that the peanut flavor was not overpowering. Pricing is reasonable. I enjoyed it

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.
