    Combination shrimp pho And toppings

    I order pho. It's tasty and soup is so perfect taste. They has lots of variety menus. Location is kind hidden area. But not busy street area. You should try here place.

    I'm a review girly, i am disappointed that i read over 20 reviews before coming here just to find out none of y'all have good taste. i'm from the west coast, i've had some exceptional pho and i know everyone can't make it. this is one of those places that can't make it. if you're used to a flavorful broth, tender thinly sliced meat this ain't the place for you. first red flag was when i went to order the #2 pho, they ONLY do cooked meat. i should've got up right there bcs it just got worse. the meat isn't thinly sliced so you can't tear it apart, it's also super dry. imagine, chewing and chewing and chewing and the meat still intact. its super tough. which is why i prefer the raw thinly sliced beef. 0/10 broth had a decent flavor, 5/10 no chilli oil, 0/10 no limes but they did have lemons, 2/10 other then that, clean and quiet. the waitresses were nice, i didn't use the restroom but my partner did and she says it was clean.

    Lien Hung Restaurant is a true hidden gem in San Antonio. This mom-and-pop shop serves the best pho in town. The broth is rich, the meats are tender, and the noodles are perfect. For authentic Vietnamese flavor, Lien Hung is unbeatable. Best in SATX!

    Average pho place for San Antonio area, probably not the best option for pho. But if you live nearby or happens to do grocery shopping nearby and craving for pho then this place may be able to fill that craving. If you have time, there are probably better options out there.

    Bun bo hue. Only place we have been to here that has both blood and pork foot!

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this place! I have to agree with lots of other people here. The outside isn't great and would have been a deterrent if My friend hadn't gotten recommended this place. The inside was very clean. No carpet, no weird smells. We were both happy to see that they served their Vietnamese coffee the authentic way. We also noticed that they have Bahn Cuon! I have asked all over town for this dish and this is the ONLY place that has it! They also had drab pho which isn't very common to have either. We got the lemongrass chicken and bun bo hue and both were good! The food was piping hot and fresh. HUGE plus. The women there were very sweet. I will definitely be back.

    The food here is never a miss they always serve the best and everyone I return it is the same as before absolutely delicious.

    Came in here on February 3 rd, around noon. This place is out of nowhere, but well worth the drive. Nice little restaurant, pretty extensive menu and they had some pretty good reviews. We were seated right away, our server was really nice and patient explaining us the menu as there is so much to choose from. The food was pretty awesome just not as authentic as I would like it to be. Definitely great value for the money in the portions were awesome. My recommendation is to stick with the Chinese food than the Vietnamese food. The one thing I did not care for was the older gentleman/owner staring at us on and off as we were eating awkward! I guess that's what happens when you pull up in a 2020 red Lamborghini . I guess Texas wasn't ready for that

    The sketchy Vietnamese place is what people I know call this spot. The reason is for the gated store and parking area with bars around the restaurant. Inside it's not sketchy at all. Just a normal Vietnamese restaurant. They only take cash so make sure you're prepared. They have a mixed menu of Vietnamese and Chinese food. I had the chance to try both. First visit, I had the pho dac biet which is the special combination pho with all meats. Portion sizes are decent and flavors are pretty good. The next visit I had the pepper steak. It was different from the authentic one but still good. Usually it has a lot of black pepper which gives it a good spicy kick, but this one was more like a gravy sauce on beef. Enjoyed the food here.

    My favorite combination Pho! At least once a week ordering this food.

    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
