    5 stars is not enough for me to give to curry boys bbq. This is definitely one of the best meal I have ever eaten! Who would have thought that curry and bbq are one of the best combinations?!!!! We ordered the brisket bowl, magic mushroom and some pork belly for appetizers and the brisket melts in your mouth. Service was good. They were very patient with us since it was our first time and they gave us amazing recommendations. The ambiance here is very normal, it like a house with chairs and tables . I would literally go to San Antonio just to eat here, that's how much I love this place e.

    Service was excellent. Very friendly and explained all the dishes. The restaurant is so cute, from the bright pink outside to the homey feel on the inside. I loved it. The food was impeccable. Thai food is my favorite, and adding bbq to the mix, omg. I was in heaven. The brisket smoke show was just that. A damn smoke show!!! Sooooo FIRE!!! An absolute must. The crispy pork belly was also fire, and the dipping sauces complimented it well. Everything we had we loved. I wish I lived closer and could order all the time. One of the best meals we had.

    Finally got around to visiting the acclaimed Curry Boys BBQ. I gotta say it is worth the hype!! This place offers a unique twist on asian fusion bbq. The flavors are robust within the curry and the brisket on their top selling Smoke Show Bowl is as good as any bbq restaurant. We ordered two bowls. The Smoke Show and the Magic Mushroom Bowl. For those seeking a vegetarian option, and coming from someone that typically enjoys some type of protein in their meal; the Magic Mushroom bowl is packed full of flavor. It seems that most of the curry dishes have a touch of spice but nothing that will blow you away. I also ordered the Curry Queso Hot Dog w/ a side of Green Curry Potato on the side to go. Great flavor and snap to the hot dog and the curry queso goes just right on top. That Green Curry Potato is next level. I can say that I appreciate the service from the point of them taking the time to elaborate on menu items prior to ordering and just the attention we received after our food was brought to us. The vibe of the restaurant is homely but with some fun accents. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other menu items.

    I'll start by saying that the service is amazing! There was a line when we arrived, and the lady at the register was super nice and kept checking on us in line. it was my first time, so she helped answer any questions I had and recommended some of the new items for us to try. I ended up getting the chicken curry bowl and it was very tasty, but milder than I expected. The sake frozen drink was sweet but good.

    Curry boys is easily one of my favorite spots in San Antonio! Everytime I bring a new person, they love it and keep coming back. For parking, there are a few spots in front if you're lucky but I usually have no issues finding street parking. The inside is casual, you order upfront, seat yourself, and they will bring your food to you. Service is great! The brisket smoke show is my go-to order. The brisket melts in your mouth and is perfectly paired with the rice and curry. The curry does have a kick to it and as someone with a low spice tolerance, I still eat it cause it's that good. The curry chips and queso and tony porker are also great options. I've also done takeout a few times and the food tastes just as good later on! Dessert wise, their ube cheesecake is so yummy and creamy! They also carry ice cream from DORP (the best Asian flavors) which is another favorite of mine, most recently I had the ube and lychee strawberry flavors here and it was delicious! 10/10 recommend coming here!

    The service was great. It was quiet inside in the middle of a weekday. When I entered, the first thing I noticed was the sharp scent of liquid smoke. The food is underwhelming. The brisket was good but it wasn't special. The veggies tasted heavily like butter. I got two carrots and one piece of potato. Normally I eat curry for the combination of the sauce and veggies. I feel maybe that's why I was so disappointed. This is nothing like traditional curry. Add to this, it wasn't spicy. Also, traditional rice is served on the side. I believe that rice is added to the bowl to make the portion look bigger. I didn't eat all the rice, but there just wasn't a lot of sauce inside the bowl. The rice wasn't the right consistency either. It was too soft.

    Wow! So glad we stopped here. I got the mushroom curry bowl and it was delicious. My husband raved about his brisket bowl as well.

    Brisket Smoke Show and Tom Kha Soup
    Cameron M.

    What a fantastic spot! I did not know this place existed but I was told about it by a patron at another restaurant and I am so glad they did! We stopped in to the super cute Pink house and were warmly greeted. The menu is great with lots of appealing options to choose from. We went with the Beef Brisket Smoke Show Bowl and the Tom Kha Soup as well as the pork belly PBJ. The Pork Belly and Brisket were excellent and I would put them in the same league as some of the best BBQ offerings in the state. Great smoke flavor, well seasoned, and quite tender. The curry just puts it over the top, tell them you want extra curry! It sets off the flavors of the meat and cuts through the richness. If you are in a mood to see how great BBQ can marry to other cuisines you need to get in here. Highly recommended.

    Awesome curry house with exciting options for sandwiches, rice bowls, drinks and more! Their staff is extremely helpful with the menu and friendly. I came here with my Grandma for a quick fix before my flight back home. We dined inside which has a homey, and inviting ambiance. I had a new mango frozen of theirs which was pleasantly boozy. Grandma enjoyed her chicken Katsu Sammy and I loved the brisket rice bowl. The meat was extremely tender, juicy, a phenomenal savory flavor. Their rice bowl could have more veggies as I only remember having a couple pieces of potato and carrots with their pickled veg. It was a good amount of food and had light curry flavor. I'd return for sure.

    Went early evening on a Saturday to make sure and get the Saturday rib special. They run out early, but we made it in time! I like the casual nature here, but with food that feels much more elevated than a counter order. You just order your drinks (beer and wine too) and food when you walk in and then find a seat. Everything came out pretty quickly. They have a small menu and some interesting flavor combos, but it works! I will say the portions weren't huge, but neither were the prices. Just go with someone else and share a few things! I would definitely go back and try some different items next time.

    I got the San Japan special, which was Japanese curry. The food tasted really good. There was a lot of flavor. It wasn't the best curry ever, but I still really enjoyed my meal. Their nachos (on the house) was good too, and I really liked their sauce. Service was good. The decor was really cute and I loved how they have a lot of plants decorating the place. The restaurant looked really unique.

    It has been too long. Stopped by for a work lunch ... had my fav Good Cluck (smoked chicken bowl with curry sauce and veggies) and added chili crisp to it today. Yum .. and hot!

    The Curry Boys strike again! This was from there pop up with The News Stand and Reese Bros BBQ. Food was amazing, giant crawfish that had so much flavor. These were those crawfish that were big enough that you started cracking the claws.

A few years ago it was Pho. So, I do have a favorite, but I still need to try new places. Well, I am, & this place is pretty phenomenal. The inside is so sweet & simple. You feel real comfortable & peaceful being in there I found them just by driving through the parking lot looking for Holy Pops for a Yelp Elite event. I wanted to try them out, & I'm so happy I did. They exceed my expectations. I walked in & was greeted by one of the waitresses, I let her know it would be a to go order, but I've never been there. She explained how things could be ordered. Steamed vs fried, for example. I regret not snapping photos of the menu, but they have one online. For that matter my food was consumed before a single photo was taken. (That's how you know it's good! At least with me! ) I went with an order of pan fried dumplings, an order of pan fried pork bao, & one order steamed pork bao. Do not be in a rush when you come. Everything is made fresh. You want it to be. Oh my goodness. These bao are amazing. The dough is the perfect thickness, IMO. The meatball inside though mine were a little larger than a golf ball. Juicy, flavorful & couldn't get enough. Made me want a dozen!. Just don't have the stomach to eat that many. Means I'll have to make more trips. The dumplings, pan fried - were so delicious. Again, piping hot! I'd say the little meatball was about half the size of the bao one. I ordered the shrimp, pork & lamb dumplings (I think. ) They had shrimp in them though. And they were amazing Okay, so me saying all my food was piping hot - here's the thing - this place is on Stone Oak, I live in the Brooks City Base area, it was still piping hot when I got home. Y'all know the traffic in this city right now! Don't waste anymore time. Go check them out. Wanna know about the staff? I'll continue! So, my order took about 25 minutes. Okay I ordered a lot, the place was full also, & again everything is made fresh. Oh! Also,you can watch them make it all. The two waitresses & the waiter checked on me often, - (when I came in. I sit in my car most of the time & inform them. Then, I just come sit down.) They apologized & I explained I make this food, I understand & am happy to wait, just means it'll be good. And boy was it!!!!

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

Our waitress was extremely patient with us, extremely knowledgeable of the entire menu, AND extremely willing to help us when needed. The dumplings, regardless of which you order- in which WAY they're cooked-are absolutely amazing. Flavorful and filled with juice. AND THOSE AREN'T even the soup dumplings! The soup dumplings (we ordered 3 orders during the sit down meal and ordered 2 to go) were positively amazingly flavored. Well balanced in their taste and was such a delight to eat. Our main dishes came shortly after the dumplings arrived. There were 6 adults and 2 children for this meal. We each ordered our own dishes and shared them amongst each other. One of the dishes ordered was pork belly ramen with no cilantro. As soon as it arrived, although to my pallet, it was beautifully balanced and rich in flavor, the adult whom ordered it did not like it and sent it back to the kitchen. The waitress asked why the food was being sent back to which the response was simply just a taste issue. It was replaced with an order of soup dumplings and the cost of the pork belly was removed from the bill (they did not have to do so but it was absolutely amazing that they did do this). Overall, the food, the experience, and the staff were amazing. We did order 5 dishes fresh to go and they did not disappoint. 1000/1000 will be coming back here again.
