Pho Hai An

Location is in the back that wraps around the corner. Delicious phở and steamed rice/​grilled pork! Small owned business with attentive service! Would definitely come back!!!

I have had phở in so many different states being a military spouse, infact my husband and I would consider ourselves phoking knowledgeable on the subject of good phở. We have yet to find a broth as phenomenal as the one at this little gem hidden in a bleek shopping lot. The owners are friendly, attentive, and know our order everytime without even asking. I couldn’t recommend it more highly the soup itself will blow even the biggest phở critic away! That delicious smell hits the table and you can’t even wait for it to cool down.

Great food, reasonable and fresh. The folks that operate this restaurant are kind and the service was nice. Recommend this place to all!

This place makes the best Vermicilli and sesame chicken I have ever had. Owners aren’t the most outgoing but seem like nice people. If you go enough they remember what you order. Watch out sometimes there has been confusion on the billing ending up getting double charged but we got it fixed.
If you like Sesame Chicken, try theirs I promise you will love it!

Place was recommended to me by one of my coworkers. It did not disappoint. Very good phở, extremely reasonably priced.

Tried the Shrimp Pad Thai today. The taste was very unique and much sweeter than what I am used to. However, the most attractive quality were the portions that were served. Normal human size portions instead of the obiece incentivizing amounts normally found in restaurants in San Antonio (Charles Barkley). In any case, give it a go; I know that you will be pleasantly surprised with anything that is on the menu.

So this place has been on Walzem for quite a while; but because of its obscure location, I had never tried it. But after my go-​to Phô spot closed, I decided to try it.
Okay, so the place isn’t like your typical Ancient Asian Secret decorated Chinese restaurant. There’s no red tassels and creepy dragons hanging all over the walls, no funky table cloths, no crazy Asian music blaring out of some sound system. The furniture is a little dated and the box TV in the corner leave a little to be desired in the ambience department. But that leaves the concentration to be about the food.
And OMG, the FOOD. Yum. Fast. Hot. Fresh. I’ve tried several menu items, and I’ve been more than satisfied every time. The spring rolls are delicious, and two go a LONG way. Made the mistake of ordering four once thinking they were those itty bitty things most Asian cuisine spots carry. The Phô is great, nice broth without the fishy smell like some places. I actually turn my bowl up like a kid with chicken noodle soup. My only gripe is that they can be stingy with the sprouts and cilantro, they try to give only one plate per table, but are more than accommodating if you ask for another. Oh, and did I mention they’re friggin cheap? Yeah. Two people can eat til they’re full for less than twenty bucks. For that, who cares what the place looks like.

First place that introduced me to Phở! This is still one of my favorite Phở restaurants when I am in the area. They also sell Chinese food, however I have yet to try it. Seafood Phở with some spring rolls is always a safe choice for me.

Pros: Good phở, very clean inside.
Cons: Not open on the weekends, serving size a little small for the price.
If they were open on the weekends I imagine they’d have a lot more business

I been looking for Phở spot for a year now in San Antonio. Who would guess the 7^th largest city in USA would be so hard to find good Phở. Found this place and I believe my search for PHO is over. The restaurant it self is not the most fancy. But I didn’t go there to hang out.
When you walk in you smell the aroma of Phở!
Its like walking in mom’s kitchen. Hands down the better Phở place in San Antonio.

Went here for lunch since it was close to work.
The inside consist of minimal décor so all the focus was on the food.
I got the combination phở. The phở was just the way it should be and so was everything else except for the meatballs. I could tell they were frozen and packaged because I remember the taste of that specific brand.
Next time I come back I’ll just ask them to leave out the meatballs.

Phở Hai An serves a decent meal at reasonable prices. The restaurant appears to be closed but just get off your car to check… they keep the lights pretty dim here.
We used to come here quite often around 2003 – 2005 but the owners changed as well as the quality in food. The broth needs some adjustments, it lacked flavor. My beef/​meatballs were quite chewy but I managed to add some things to make it taste alright. I seemed to like my sister’s chicken phở better. Our Cha Gio was pretty tasty, we could have eaten about two more!
One thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that we were overcharged by $ 3 – 4 and had to bring this to his attention. When in doubt, always ask for itemized receipts.
I love that their prices aren’t outrageous, we will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

Can I get a 2.5?
First off let me start by saying that if you dine in, the place is VERY dingy and a little tricky to find. There are no frills here, at all. I cannot speak for the sanitary aspect of this restaurant, but they do serve some pretty tasty vermicelli. I tried the lemongrass chicken vermicelli which had a lot of flavor, and my mom had the grilled pork and egg roll. Both were very good, but the dining space alone makes me question the conditions in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s better not to ponder these things.

This restaurant is close to my work, so I finally made it over for lunch the other day, on the insistence of a colleague who was craving phở. I went with the bun, which was pretty decent. The pork was well cooked and the serving generous, although I was a bit puzzled by the large amounts of shredded lettuce in the bowl. The best think we had though was the pork spring rolls. They are fantastic, crispy and cut into little pieces with lettuce to wrap them in. I’d like to try the phở sometime, and will probably be back due to proximity to work. Unless you are in the area though, I’d recommend finding somewhere better as there is better phở to be had in San Antonio.
