Address: 19178 Blanco Rd #305
Contact: 210-545-3553
Hours: Monday – Thursday, 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Friday – Saturday, 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM, Sunday, 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Generous portions and a deeply authentic family recipe make Heavenly Pho Vietnamese Cuisine an absolute standout choice for anyone seriously craving classic Vietnamese cuisine.
I brought a large group of friends here last week, and we were completely blown away by the massive bowls of slow-simmered broth alongside plates of incredibly crisp bean sprouts.
You will immediately notice their strong emphasis on sourcing fresh ingredients and vibrant green garnishes as soon as your steaming food arrives at the table.
Unfortunately, their immense neighborhood popularity frequently leads to frustratingly slow table service and significantly delayed food preparation during those chaotic peak dinner hours.

2. Pho Sure Bistro
Website: https://huebner.phosuretx.com
Address: 8822 Huebner Rd
Contact: 210-589-7967
Hours: Monday – Saturday, 11:00 AM – 8:45 PM
Catering to specific dietary restrictions is exactly where Pho Sure Bistro truly shines for locals needing specialized meals. They provide highly accommodating and clearly labeled vegan options using a genuine vegetable broth base, which is a huge relief for plant-based eaters who usually have to settle for modified meat soups.
The remarkably friendly staff is always eager to personalize your dining experience to ensure you leave the quiet dining room completely satisfied.
While the vegan broth is exceptionally high quality, the overall variety in this plant-based section is relatively small compared to their massive selection of traditional meat offerings at other Asian restaurants.

Low MSG Use In The Broth
Had been to many Pho restaurants and this place is the best due to the low MSG use in the broth. The broth do have that authentic Pho taste. Price is cheaper but the meats and herbs come with it is stingy. Overall the food is great with great price!

Perfect To Warm Us Up
Such a great place to come for some pho. Our first time. We had their grilled pork spring rolls w/ peanut sauce. Loved it! Full of flavor and the sauce is light. Not heavy/thick. For our entree we both ordered their pho beef meat combo. Oh my! Add all the extras (basil, bean sprouts, jalapeño, & lime! Amazing. I was feeling under the weather, so this was perfect!

3. Pho Ha Long Restaurant
Website: https://www.phohalong.com/
Address: 6424 Northwest Loop 410 #104
Contact: 210-354-7547
Hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Monday, Closed
Tucked away in Thunderbird Hills, Pho Ha Long Restaurant serves an exceptionally rich beef combination pho. The slow-simmered broth is highly aromatic and packed with tender, fatty brisket.
They certainly don’t skimp on noodles or protein, ensuring a highly filling meal for any hungry lunch seeker. I stopped by on a rainy afternoon recently and found their robust soup to be the perfect comfort food.
The attentive staff was incredibly responsive and quickly made sure my order was perfect.
The main downside is the building itself, requiring you to navigate a somewhat cramped table arrangement and a rather dated interior layout.

The OG in San Antonio
This is the OG in San Antonio. This is where we had our very first pho 25 years ago, and we have loved pho ever since. The price has gone up several times, but the food not only maintained its amazing flavors but also improved on it. We have tried many places local and other places, this place broth is unbeatable. They have perfected their broth and that is the key to a perfect pho.

Tasty And Flavorful Veggie Broth
Both beef and vegetable pho were really good! The broth in both was tasty and flavorful. Appreciate how they use a veggie broth for the vegetable pho especially for vegetarians because most pho restaurants just use the beef pho broth instead. My sibling was happy that they can enjoy a proper veggie pho. Portions of the bowls were also good. The staff were friendly and the food came out hot at a decent time.
4. Phở Thiên Ân
Website: https://phothienan.store/
Address: 126 W Rector Suite 108
Contact: 210- 888-1089 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday – Sunday, 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Seamlessly blending classic Vietnamese soup with popular Chinese favorites gives Phở Thiên Ân a uniquely broad appeal. You can easily pair a traditional beef noodle bowl with a savory stir-fry. They maintain highly accessible pricing for their large combination bowls and varied protein additions.
This extensive menu is perfect for groups who cannot agree on just one type of Asian cuisine.
That said, a broad fusion menu does come with a small tradeoff, as the kitchen divides its focus across multiple cuisines rather than specializing exclusively in refined Vietnamese techniques.

The Pho Hit The Spot
Came here on a cool day and the Pho hit the spot!. The broth was the perfect temperature to warm us up!. We tried the summer rolls and the dumplings and they were also delicious. The peanut sauce is so delicious!. I love the crushed peanuts they put for texture. The service could be a little better. We only were checked on once after our food was delivered. Although the food was great.

Broth Beautiful Flavor
This place was good. I had the house pho and an order of dumplings with a thai tea boba. The dumplings were frozen from the taste which to be fair very few people will make them by hand because it does not always justify the higher cost. The pjo broth was pho broth beautiful flavor. The tables didn’t offer any fush sauce or beef flavor paste which growing up in my house they were staples. Otherwise I would recommend this to anyone. A diverse menu so even the pickiest westerners or western kids can find something they like.

Hours: Monday – Saturday, 11:00 AM – 8:30 PM | Sunday, Closed
Fast and efficient takeout is the true specialty of Pho Plus Vietnamese Restaurant.

The restaurant sits in a highly accessible spot right on Austin Highway. You can also explore a wide selection of authentic Vietnamese classics to gracefully supplement your standard soup orders.
However, planning a weekend visit requires a bit of forethought, as the restaurant is closed on Sundays, which strictly limits your options for weekend dining.

Very Chill Atmosphere
Stopped by while visiting and seriously some of the best pho I’ve ever tried. Very chill atmosphere and the server/host was super friendly. Crab Rangoons were absolutely delicious. Will absolutely be back if ever back in the area.

Service Is More Than 5 Stars
This is our second time to the place. We are amazed to see more varieties in menu. We ordered pho, fried rice, Spring rolls and lomein. Pho is very fresh and tasty. Spring rolls are very fresh as well. Fired rice is not the ordinary fried rice. It is way better than that of other restaurant. Lomein noodle is very soft and tender. The prices are very reasonable. The service is more than 5 stars. We recommend this place highly.
