the inside of a restaurant
Ino R.

This is my usual go-to for Pho, but for whatever reason the food today was slightly off. It wasn't bad, but there was a different taste to it. Let me clarify that the broth of the pho was fine. I mean to say that the bun, my go to dish, wasn't as enjoyable as usual...it was slightly a tad off. The service was good, the staff were helpful, the bathroom was clean. I will probably go again, until I find a better pho-stablishment.

Banh mi

Had lunch on a weekday. It's a very casual and ordinary place with several tables for indoor seating. Good for groups too! Service is fine. Really enjoyed my banh mi! It had fresh veggies and lots of protein. They were also able to put the sauce on the side.

love this place! the pho is delicious. The boba teas are good too. Very sweet lady at the front, and the guy in the back is very nice too. I come here a couple times a month, I love it

a plate of food with rice and vegetables

I just wanted to fulfill my mom's wishes to try a Vietnamese restaurant in Texas since we are visiting from California for several days, and boy! What a complete disappointment. I ordered the pho đặc biệt, and it looks like beef balls noodles... lacks ingredients of tripes and others. When the bowl came out, my mom and I were perplexed if they got the wrong order... but didn't. We had to ask the host to confirm. She said the ingredients were at the bottom... but it was a total lies. The noodles were also clumped together. That took me a few minutes to separate them. Then my brother broken rice came out, and I thought it looked just wrong. It looks just like a kid-size portion that's overpriced. My husband's vermicelli noodle also looks sad, and he commented that the sauce is too salty and there are not enough veggies. The only thing that is probably worthy here is their egg rolls. It tastes pretty good, has a crunchy texture, and is filled with ingredients. I do not recommend this place if you are looking for Vietnamese cravings. Honestly, I probably wouldn't even recommend trying any pho restaurants in San Antonio if this is what the standard looks like.

I feel like when a place claims "the best" in something, you have to be very careful and sometimes may just want to avoid it in general. I wish I did because the soup was not flavorful. The broth was so bland that I just ate the noodle and what little meat is in the soup. I came in after the winter storm so there were no vegetables to go with the noodle soup. I can understand that but I feel like it's better to not serve than to serve without vegetables. I finished eating the soup in about 5 minutes because it has very little noodle and meat. On the plus side, the springrolls are good.

Hidden surprise. Two strips of plastic in one of these.

Fact: Not all Pho restaurants are created equal. Unfortunately, we were reminded of that today when we had lunch at Pho Plus. I was excited to try this hole in the wall because that's usually how you discover hidden gems! This was not the case today. My wife is Vietnamese-American and we are Pho-natics so please let me explain. 1) My first impression was it was bigger inside than it appeared from the outside. But that pro was quickly canceled out by the smell of dirty mop water from their floor. 2) Don't drink their water. It's from the tap and probably tastes like what I imagine what their mop water would taste like. Maybe ask them for bottled water should you go. 3) There was little we could do to improve their broth's taste. It was too sweet and salty and tasted as if it were missing other seasonings. It just didn't taste right. 4) Ready for a big one? They tried to feed us a strip of plastic which was hidden in one of their egg rolls. Okay so I'm going to assume they didn't do that intentionally but it was in there. Seriously. Please reference our pics. 5) Their spring rolls have bean sprouts which is odd. You also have to request pork to be included along with the shrimp because at their location, we were told they didn't typically do both. Condescendingly, might I add. That deserves its own number in and of itself. 6) No tripe available for Pho which is usually a staple for a pho restaurant. Even Americanized and quasi-authentic pho joints have this option. 7) Jalapeños and basil weren't fresh. We could tell the jalapeños were cut a day or so ago since their edges were already dried out. Perhaps the only reason this place has any patrons is because of its close proximity to Fort Sam Houston and the lack of other pho places in the vicinity. As I've said before, I don't like to give bad reviews to small businesses, but I had to call this place out. If you are accustomed to good Vietnamese food do not come here.

Beef Pho - broth lacked flavor.
Dee C.

I am going around San Antonio trying & seeking out the best Pho in town. Well, this places Pho broth was lacking flavor. I've never added salt & pepper to my Pho, just for a bit of flavor. I also added more of the Hoisin & Sriracha sauces than I normally do. One of the things I love about Pho are the spices used to make it. I couldn't taste any in theirs. Now, it was good, just not great. Maybe it was an off day. Plus, I am sick. So, I'll give them another try. The only thing frustrating is in the eight other times I've gone by this location is they were always closed. So, I'll have to plan another visit. The spring rolls come with an option of fried, or rice paper, I chose to have them fried this time. They were good & fresh. I'll come back &'update after I've tried their pho again - if deserved. Until then, they're okay.

When I first parked and saw the building I thought it was going to be an "idk about this" experience. However, this place is so delicious! As I walked in I was greeted in a kindly, welcoming manner. The place was clean. I ordered spring rolls and pho with brisket and an iced tea. and it was probably the best I've ever had. Even the tea was the best in Texas! All three items and I was still under 20 bucks! As I left the employees thanked me and were just all around sweet, something I think is kinda rare when you step into a hole in the wall. You gotta eat here, it's the best!!!!!!!!!!!

Pho & shrimp spring roll.
Brian T.

Great little place, a little out of my way, sad to say I hadn't discovered this little gem since it's been in business for nearly 10 years. Waitress was very attentive in a caring, not overburdensome way. I asked for Wifi and she worked with me a few times to get the password without much luck. I'm sure they'll have it figured out soon. Super kind and caring people, great pho, I highly recommend!

This review has been overdue. Last month, after an early valentine's lunch, my aunt and uncle went…read moreoff in search of aguas frescas and mangonadas nearby while my cousin and I hunted for a dessert spot that was a little different. that spontaneous search led us to Just Smash'em--and it turned out to be a sweet find. The concept is simple but appealing: fun, unique combinations of sweet treats that lean slightly toward the lighter side. Think açaí bowls, waffles, and snackable options that could easily double as breakfast or a light meal. I ordered the Berry Good Bowl with açaí, oat milk, strawberries, blueberries, banana, pineapple, granola, almonds, and Nutella. In hindsight I could've skipped the banana and granola, but it was still delicious. The fruit tasted fresh, the sweetness was balanced, and the açaí base held up surprisingly well on the drive home. My cousin went for the Belgian waffle with banana and Nutella--the waffle he has been searching for in the first place--and it did night disappoint. Service was warm and patient while we navigated the menu, and we even got to chat briefly with David, the young lady went. He shared that the business started as a food truck before growing into this standalone shop. The nice young ladies at the counter even offered us to take a flower from their vase of pink carnations for the Valentines. It's a cozy spot with a welcoming I've, even with yea small arts-and-crafts area for kids that makes it feel like a neighborhood hangout. A fun kitty dessert stop when you're craving something sweet but a bit different. We'll definitely be back to try more.

This was a great place. I love local owned places bc those can have the best options compared to…read morethe chain restaurants. Each person working in here was super kind and friendly. The acai bowl I had was yummy and the layout and cleanliness in here was very great

This is a great, healthy addition to this area. Ironically it's squeezed between a pizza and donut…read moreshop. They are in a strip center which makes it an easy, quick, place to stop. They have a good menu with a variety of options including the option to have juice or milk in your smoothie. The day I went I tried the Pink Lady and my husband had the Berries on Berries. Both were delicious! The Pink Lady was a little sweeter than the other, but in a very natural sugar way. The staff is very warm and welcoming and the quaint location is immaculately clean.

The Juice Experiment is a cute, small piece of a much loved strip of great food and drink…read morebusinesses on St. Mary's near Brackenridge Park. When you walk in it's got a cute rustic look with some modern kisses. The employee came out and greeted me right away and gave me some descriptions of the smoothie options. I ordered the "It's Coffee Time" smoothie which was a nice change to the typical smoothie. I felt like I was having a healthy burst of midday caffeine! Lot's of protein; almond butter, almond milk, banana, honey, and cinnamon. And though it's not on the menu, I'm pretty sure she said it also had dates which you get tiny pieces of in each sip. I think the larger size could even serve as a meal replacement, or get the smaller size and a salad, yum! Another lady waiting for her food was ranting and raving about the same drink, absolutely delicious, and not too sweet. They also offer discounts for military, first responders, students, and teachers; as well as a loyalty program! So next time you are in the area, stop by and give them a try when you need a healthy boost and lets keep supporting our local businesses! Oh, and they also use biodegradable straws!
