Reviews for Vietnam Gardens in San Antonio, TX
Small, comfortable spot with attentive, friendly service. We were there for lunch and I was a little disappointed that there... were not lunch specials but the regular offerings are numerous. We chose soups. Please note the chili icon by Bon Bo soupbecause it is most certainly spicy -- waiter warned me! But it was so tasty -- the beef flavored broth was rich with spices andheat and thin noodles. I opted to add chicken -- small slices of white meat. The soup is accompanied by cilantro and somevegetables. My friend had the dumpling soup. It was loaded with plump dumplings. Please note that you cannot enter from Blanco;the parking lot entrance is on Jackson Keller. We look forward to our next visit and we will BYOB. Read more
Best pho I've eaten. Flank steak was tender, broth was mild on the ginger, jalapeños perfectly spicy, great service!
Really disappointed with this one. Ordered the wonton soup and spring rolls (with shrimp as the filling, which cost a dollar... extra), totaled about 25 dollars after tax which is an EXORBITANT amount for those two items. The wonton came with lettuce,which was a first, but besides that it had strange black marks that I believe were bacterial leaf spots. The spring rolls wereprobably freshly made though very undercooked and TINY. For the 12 dollars I paid I could've got like 8 big egg rolls at anotherplace down the street. Interestingly the lettuce served with the spring rolls was fresh and without black lesions. Read more
I had the V9 Green Bean stir fry with shrimp, summer rolls and Jasmine tea. Wow, the food was so delicious! I can't believe I... have never been here before, I have been missing out on some great food! I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer from nowon. Well done! Read more
Loved the food, very nice "hole-in-wall" restaurant. Authentic Vietnamese menu, they do have Thai and Chinese offerings. Had the... crab rolls and pork rolls as appetizers, nice and crispy and tasty. (Can't remember Vietnamese name...)I had the "Spicy beefsoup with glass noodles", good heat/spice not overpowering, great soup base flavor, plenty of noodles, and offered cilantro,jalapeños, and cilantro to add. Quaint decor, clean, well lit, bathrooms were well cared and clean. Beware if you are "impulsebuyer" lots of neat trinkets and products to buy displayed around restaurant. Reasonably priced, owner is the cook. Read more
Omg!! I started eating here in early 2000, moved away, came back a few days ago for a visit and it's still amazing! You can't go... wrong with anything on the menu! Read more
Best hole in the wall you need to try. The main dish I love here is the lemongrass chicken. The seasoning used on the chicken is... very good and blends so well with the noodles, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and lettuce. It's perfect. The spring rolls aregreat. Customer service has always been great here, they're very attentive and friendly and they answer all your questions. Read more
Wonderful service, had the excellent Thai curry soup that was pretty spicy in the best way. Ingredients tasted fresh and the... atmosphere was calm. Will be coming back! Read more
