1 LA Crawfish Yelp

LA Crawfish

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score4.9

The crawfish boil with garlic butter is the reason to come here, ideally with a full table and no plans afterward. The room moves fast and the kitchen turns orders quickly on busy nights. Pho is on the menu too, though the crawfish is the clear centerpiece. Good for a casual group dinner when the goal is eating well without spending much.

2 Berni Vietnamese Restaurant Yelp

Berni Vietnamese Restaurant

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score5.8

Berni is the kind of neighborhood Vietnamese spot that earns repeat visits: the pho bo comes out hot and fresh, the owners are genuinely welcoming, and a small dessert arrives at the end of the meal. The grilled pork vermicelli bowl and spring rolls round out a focused, reliable menu. Expect a bit of a wait, but the kitchen does not cut corners on quality.

3 Pho NB Yelp

Pho NB

Vietnamese · New Braunfels · $$
Insider Score6.3

Pho NB earns its place as New Braunfels' go-to Vietnamese counter. The bánh mì with grilled chicken draws its own following, and the Singapore noodles have made converts out of first-timers. The pho is fresh and the service runs attentive. Worth the stop whether coming through on I-35 or making a specific trip up from San Antonio.

4 Taste of Asia Yelp

Taste of Asia

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score4.9

Taste of Asia has been around long enough to qualify as a San Antonio institution, and the pho and spring rolls keep people coming back. Portions are good, service runs quick, and the room handles a busy lunch or dinner crowd without slowing down. The menu stretches into orange chicken and pad thai for tables with mixed preferences.

5 Heavenly Pho Vietnamese Cuisine Yelp

Heavenly Pho Vietnamese Cuisine

Vietnamese · San Antonio · $$
Insider Score4.6

Heavenly Pho functions as a true neighborhood go-to, the kind of place regulars return to by name. Even on busy nights the kitchen seats tables promptly and keeps service moving. The crispy spring rolls are a shared starter worth ordering, and the pho bo is the main event. Straightforward, consistent, and exactly what a neighborhood Vietnamese spot should be.
