Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl
Karina E.

10/10 loved this!! My friend and I both got vermicelli bowls and enjoyed them! The chili sauce on the side makes a great difference (not pictured). The waiter was very kind. We did order some egg rolls and I'm guessing the waiter forgot to put in the order because it was not on our receipt and we never received them but the food was so good and filling we didn't even need them. The place was clean and quiet inside. I would come again.

Place was pretty empty and we got our food quite fast. The dining area was very clean but did have a that dirty mop water smell. Food came out fast and hot. Both kids enjoyed their food and our waitress was great. She was very attentive. I did notice after we ate that they have an overall health score of 84. Hopefully they can bring that up because their food was delicious.

Pho was AMAZING! seriously my new favorite pho spot, not to mention customer service was very nice .. no long time for order to be taken and food brought out shortly after. the food was amazing.

This place has changed names and possibly owners. Sorriest excuse for a sandwich that literally had 3 small pieces of chicken for nearly $9?!! You got me fuxked up! Couldn't switch it out since I had already bit into it. Switched out for chicken pho which wasn't much better. Skimped on the chicken and the broth wasn't like when I've gotten it when it was Pho Vy. Definitely won't return to this sad establishment.

Came here on a lovely Saturday night and I was craving some pho! Came here and it wasn't that lively but I enjoyed it, it was quite and calm. I was seated quickly as well! I got some pho tai with meatballs and though it was tasty I felt like it was missing something. But that could just be me. I got some beef summer rolls and it was very tasty! I also got some spring-rolls which were okay. Overall my experience was nice. I enjoyed this place and the quietness.

Showed up to this restaurant at 725p on a Sunday. As we walked in the lady stated I'm sorry we are closed. There was 1 couple there dining. I told the lady oh I'm sorry. I thought y'all closed at 9pm per yelps posted time. She said no. We close at 745p. She then said we should have locked the door but didn't. Keep in mind it wasn't 745p. Either way. I'm not sure why businesses are open at all if they don't want business. Believe me. I get it. Short staffing everywhere. But that was not a factor in this case. Plus. Posted ours on google stated 845p and Yelp said 9p. Hell, their door even had the posted time of 9p. Bad business.

I've been to Pho Vy a few times, food is not bad, however the female manager/owner that takes orders and works at the register leaves me no other choice but to be brutally honest. Her customer service skills are the worst, perhaps she needs to help in the back without direct interaction with clients. Every single time I have gone she is in a bad mood, this past Tuesday was not any different. We got there and she told my husband "no dine in, take out only" ok fair enough so we got our food to go. We order Pho and I asked if I could have extra bean sprouts (before completing transaction at register) and she replied "I will give you extra" fast forward we get our food in a bag and I asked did you remember to give me extra bean sprouts? She replied "yeah I give to you in bag" well I double checked and we did not get extra bean sprouts (they gave us less than when we dine-in) and when I told her I did not get extra bean sprouts as she agreed, she replied if you want alot I will charge you $3 dollars (seriously? For bean sprouts!) No, it's not about the money, it's about her lying after telling me she will give me extra. And lying one more time saying it was in the bag, an item that when allowed to dine in, we get more of. She was at the register the entire time! So how could she put extra bean sprouts when she is not preparing the food. An older gentleman from the kitchen came out with my food and handed to me?! So I lost it and asked her to stop talking to me with that attitude and to please get someone else to help me because I did not like the way she was talking to me. Although the food maybe good enough to go back, I will not recommend anyone else to go because when I go out is to have a nice experience while enjoying a good meal. I left very upset did not enjoy my meal. I waited a couple of days to calm down before writing this review. She did not get anyone else to help me, so I'm assuming she must be the owner or related to the owner and that's why she feels like she can treat people that way. I will not go back and I must definitely will be warning people to not go there. She makes the ambiance tense and uncomfortable. Mrz. B

Chicken lo mein

Great food and good service! It was mostly empty when my friend and I walked in for a quick dinner. Service was great. Menus and drinks were quick. The waiter kept an eye out and waited until we set down the menus before asking if we were ready to order. The food came out quickly but not too quickly. The chicken pad thai was amazing and hit the spot! It was very flavorful, not overly spicy, and very filling. I devoured it! My friend got a pork pho and it smelled amazing. She said it was wonderful. A great blend of flavors and well balanced. The meat was well cooked. I really liked the side of herbs, fresh bean sprouts, and limes that came with the pho. Plenty to share between the two dishes. The place was pretty clean. Same goes for the bathrooms. A little run down, but clean. A good little hole in the wall place. Very convenient location. Will go again.

Bland and "just okay" plating
Rio R.

Two star rating only, high sanitation inspection rating is extremely important for us, a B rating is warning sign for us. We are still giving this place a chance that's why it's been a long long while before I decided to post my review, plus the absence of pricing on their menu is also a factor why the low rating. Customer service is also very important for us, most of the time the warm, welcoming and attentive staff saves the day for a high rating, but this doesn't apply to this particular restaurant. The service/order-taker was a bit snobbish and she actually never showed us any warm reception at all, plus the lady that brought our food was no accommodating at all. The food we had was sub-par in taste, quality and presentation appeal. Perhaps we were expecting more or was it just us? The place looks promising and since we were really starving, our first reaction was supposed to be "the food was great!" but no. Even our hungry stomach was not really satisfied, bland and flavorless food was all we had. We finished our food, it was still palatable but it was only to fill us up that's all. Final decision, we're not visiting this place again. They need to improve on food, service and quality, BIG TIME! I tried my best to be as honest as I could with my rating. Sorry but not sorry

OMG I cannot say enough good things about this place! We were in San Antonio for a conference and…read morewanted to get out of the hotel for a dinner. Firstly, we had trouble getting an uber at first and when I called the staff was very friendly and were able to hold the table a little longer which I appreciated. The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

Great food, although the salmon was not as fresh as I'd hoped... Appetizers were excellent... Fast…read moredelivery... However, the hostess was so focused on keeping nine empty tables for reservations yet we finished our dinner by the time those guests arrived and she put us next to the AC vent where it was extra hot with the outdoors of 90°F... That is, don't go if you don't have reservations.

We ordered 2 cocktails, a lemonade and a mocktail - that took 15 minutes longer than everyone else so the toast to the grad who ordered it was delayed as appetizers came out before her drink Timing was also way off - we were asked what appetizers we wanted shortly after being seated and when we did order and told them we would start with the smaller bites and order the mains for later - everything came out at the same time except for one dish that was way later than everything else So before food let's talk service - it was a special graduation meal and though the food was good - the service is enough to make me not want to go back. The server was just socially awkward, was not able to converse and seemed to struggle with every aspect of the role! We spent over 20 minutes trying to flag her - then anyone down- just to order a soda as the mocktail was not good! We wanted second drinks but as there was no service to be found - we gave up. Dishes were dumped on the table by whoever brought them as we then sat with dirty / empty dishes throughout the meal except for the one or two we gave back and the one with food in it that was taken! Things got weird when we asked to bag up two dishes when the server seemed to really get confused and had to take time for her process and ignored the dessert order - then came to the table and asked if we wanted dessert!?!! She was very pleasant but the role of a server might not be best for her! Now the food however was a solid 5 - the chili crisp crab burrata was one of the best dishes I have had anywhere ! The garlic sticky noodles were also fantastic , loved the smashed cucumber, the impossible pot stickers were not as good as in the past as they were cold and chewy - almost as though they had been made days ahead and were stale! The mapo tofu was great and we have plenty left over and my husband and daughter enjoyed the cashew chicken! We love the quaint setting, great playlist and fantastic food but service throughout from the server to the folks expediting dishes was substandard ! For this reason would hesitate returning in a hurry!
