    Pho Dac Biet Large
    Ursula S.

    This has become my new frequent spot to get some good pho. The portion size is very good, even the small is a good filling portion. The large is also really good if you are very hungry. Their spring rolls are one of the best I've had in San Antonio. The interior has pretty murals on the walls and seating is open and spacious. Service is quick and efficient highly recommend.

    Everything we got was delicious and the service was so quick! It was a nice, quiet atmosphere, perfect for a date night. We definitely will be back!

    Fried egg rolls 4 of these tiny things for $9

    No customers when we went in. We were seated and given a menu. Maybe 10 mins before someone comes for our order even though we are clearly ready and the lady is just standing doing nothing. Kind of pricey for the amount of food you get. Got a bowl of vermicelli for $19 and it looked like half the size of most other places.

    I can't wait to come back here and try more things. It seems family owned and they're nice people! I actually ordered this because it looked good in another yelp photo. Great flavor and of course love drenching it in Siracha. My friend loved her pho so I'll have to come back and try that. Tai tea with boba was yummy! I'm surprised the place was not more packed. Only a few other tables were occupied. Clean and well kept.

    We driven by Pho Nguyen a million times but for whatever reason, never tried it...until today. Food was excellent! Perfect temperature. The young man server was very polite and put together, very helpful with the menu. And the ambiance was my personal favorite. It's so very beautiful and bright inside, high ceilings, good energy all around. Flowers everywhere You must try! Ps. Spring rolls are delish

    I liked the food here. It was really good, but I wish there was more vegetables. I also like that they have containers of chili sauce on the tables. The bun bo hue broth is good. There are a ton of aunties in the kitchen, too, which is a good sign. The grilled pork spring rolls are tasty, but with more veggies, they'd stay together better. This is best bun bo hue I've had in San Antonio.

    Pros - Flavors of the pho was delicious, not too salty - the spring rolls were crunchy and stuffed with filling - ample and easy parking - Good location, you can easily walk around to other stores and dessert places when finished - Server was friendly and food came out wicked fast Cons - I was surprised to see how close their seating was. I'm not sure if they limit their occupancy, but we were lucky that we were the only ones there otherwise I don't think it's very safe - A bowl of white rice was $3!!! - they are quite stingy on the bean sprouts and greens for the pho. Instead of giving a plate to share, they put a small portion of it next to the noodle soup Overall I think they were quite stingy with their food portions, and I didn't feel like it was a 'safe' place to eat during COVID since they didn't seem to have any precautions.

    Wow! We went here on a whim to celebrate my dad's birthday and it was such a good pick! The food was delicious as we got pho and some spring rolls. I'm prone to never finishing my soup broth, but here I had all of it. The service was friendly and felt like family despite me not being Vietnamese, the staff were very welcoming and sweet. Inside this place is beautiful and relaxing with soft music playing and a beautiful mural on the wall. Overall we loved it and hope to come again in the future despite being on the other side of town!!

    Way overpriced for mediocre food. Not impressed. The meal was 43$ and that's without drinks or appetizers.

    Finally got around to trying this place out and regret not going sooner! It's a small(ish) place…read moreso there was a small wait on a cold day but well well worth the wait! Once we got sat we placed our orders and had food in front of us in 15ish minutes? It was great. The wings were delicious, you could throw the sauce on a tire and I'd eat it. The bowls were so refreshing and delicious and the pho was perfect. I can't wait to go back! Give this place a try, be aware the parkings tight, don't get overwhelmed or thrown off find the parking get inside and be ready for some amazing food from amazing people! Side note: everytime the older Vietnamese women came to clear our plates as we finished she told us good job for fishing our food and tbh it felt so warming and homey without thought

    I am afraid that I must change my review of Pho Kim Long. I am sad to do so because this was one of…read moremy favorite local restaurants for over a decade. However, my most recent encounter has soured me completely, and I think I will never return. My favorite dish here was something that did not appear on the menu, Bo Tai Chanh salad. Even though it was not listed, they would whip it up at my request. It consists of beef cappaccio on an iceberg lettuce salad with Vietnamese vegetables and a fish sauce based dressing. Tonight they refused my order. What makes this refusal all the more frustrating is that Pho Bo Tai Chanh (the soup version) is listed on the menu and promoted as one of the favorite dishes. All that was needed, to meet my request, was to cut up half a head of lettuce and throw the non-liquid ingredients of the soup on top. Every restaurant should remember the customer is always right. Their only purpose is to meet their customers' requests to the best of their ability. I understand when a kitchen cannot meet requests with the ingredients or equipment they have. For example, I always call 24 hours ahead to order Peking Duck because the traditional methods require that amount of time to prepare the dish. Or I remember being refused a request to have my meat served rare when the restaurant had already cooked all its meat to medium rare using sous vide. I don't expect the kitchen to do the impossible. But every kitchen must be ready to meet special request whether health related like peanuts, shrimp, gluten, salt, carbohydrates, etc. or relate to tastes or ethics like vegetarian, vegans, seafood, etc. To fail one's customers is the first step to being one of the numerous restaurants to fail and become irrelevant. Any restaurant that refuses to meet reasonable requests fails the fundamental test for good service and does not deserve to be patronized. P.S. I end up going down the road to Yaya's Thai Restaurant (another local restaurant) to get something that met my tastes and preferences.

All things in my mind brought this down from a 5 star to a 4. Clean up the tables is definitely something the restaurant has control over. We sat down, and the acetone smell dissipated so either I was use to it or they turned down a shared ventilation system. The food though was the big surprise! It was excellent. We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.
