1 LA Crawfish Yelp

LA Crawfish

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score4.9

The crawfish boil with garlic butter is the main event here, but the Vietnamese pho pulls its weight for a Cajun-Vietnamese crossover spot. Food comes out fast on most visits, which makes it workable for a group. The fried catfish is the weak link, so stick to the crawfish or the pho. Counter-casual, a solid pick for a table of friends who want something different.

2 Berni Vietnamese Restaurant Yelp

Berni Vietnamese Restaurant

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score5.8

Berni is one of the Silk Road/Wurzbach corridor's steadiest Vietnamese counters. The pho bo comes out hot and fresh, the owners are consistently welcoming, and regulars note the kitchen never seems to have a bad night. The grilled pork vermicelli bowl and spring rolls round out the order well. There is a small dessert bonus at the end of the meal that surprises first-timers. Expect a relaxed wait during busy hours; the food is worth it.

3 Pho NB Yelp

Pho NB

Vietnamese · New Braunfels · $$
Insider Score6.3

Pho NB handles the New Braunfels Vietnamese beat with range. The pho tai is a reliable anchor, the grilled chicken banh mi draws its own regulars, and the Singapore noodles have earned real loyalty from repeat visitors. Service runs attentive and the kitchen keeps things fresh. For anyone on the I-35 corridor looking for a bowl north of San Antonio, this is the move. First-timers should go past the appetizers and order a full bowl.

4 Taste of Asia Yelp

Taste of Asia

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score4.9

Taste of Asia has been a San Antonio Vietnamese fixture long enough to qualify as a neighborhood institution, and the pho bo and spring rolls keep regulars coming back consistently. Service is friendly and moves quickly. Portions are solid. The spring rolls in particular draw repeat praise on their own. For a city-wide pho guide, this is one of the longer-tenured entries on the list, and the kitchen's consistency over time is its clearest selling point.

5 Asian Bite Yelp

Asian Bite

Asian Fusion · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score6.5

Asian Bite runs a fusion menu that crosses Vietnamese pho, Korean beef bulgogi, and pad thai under one roof, and the kitchen makes everything to order. Lunch prices are among the most accessible in the city. The shrimp dishes and crispy items draw notice alongside the pho. The room is clean, staff is attentive about substitutions, and the food arrives fresh. A practical choice for a table with mixed tastes and a budget-conscious order.
