This past Wednesday, we visited a restaurant we haven’t been to in years. A Dong Restaurant serves both Vietnamese and Chinese dishes.
Hubby and I both had the Coconut Drink that was very refreshing. Love the fresh coconut meat! Dad had Soy Bean Milk. We started off with the Vietnamese Egg Rolls and Crab and Corn Soup. The soup tasted good but the crabmeat was not the star of the dish. Hubby had the Beef Rice Noodle, which is one of his favorite dishes. I tried some and it was tasty. Dad and I shared the Stir Fry Vermicelli Combo without the curry since we didn’t like spicy. There was some flavor but could’ve use some more.
There are 2 locations. We visited the 5222 DeZavala Rd., Suite 318 location. The other location is on Agora Parkway in Selma.
A Dong is one of the very few restaurants in San Antonio that offer a menu closer to authentic Vietnamese food. Their “canh chua” (Vietnamese sour soup) is pretty great, might be on the sweeter note, but if you’re from South Vietnam it’s perfect.
We also love their fish sauce chicken wings - so crispy and flavorful. Their lotus roots salad or beef salad is refreshing. Lastly if you enjoy savory and crispy, try the sautéed pork ribs!
Perhaps coming before 3pm would be a better deal. The food was just average, and, after 3pm, the Chinese dishes do not come with soup and an egg roll. I got sweet and sour chicken. It was okay, but their sweet and sour sauce tasted weird and contained chunks of vegetables and pineapple—my kid would not have eaten it. The fried rice was very plain. The atmosphere is okay. There are some nice Chinese art pieces; however, the ceiling is odd, like the ceiling of an auditorium. I could see insulation through a space in the ceiling from my vantage point. I tried to get the waiter’s attention at one point, but I had to get up and go to him—they were not that busy—only two parties seated and no one taking out.
It was very busy on a Saturday night with 3 staff members but we finally got a table. Huge portions of food to share family style, you can try pho or American Chinese. I got the Singapore noodles which were perfect.
I have been going to this restaurant for years. As a commercial real estate broker specializing in restaurants business and real property, I m a little pickier than others.
Usually their food is very good. Last week, We ordered quail, seafood salad, vegetable shrimp and chicken over the crispy noddle. I was a little disappointed because the vegetables were way over cooked, almost taste like left over from the day before. But the quail and salad were very good, very tasty and fresh. So this time I gave only 4 stars.
But this restaurant is still the best Vietnamnese restaurant in my opinion with their variety and authenticity.
I always come for amazing pho.
But today ordered fresh spring rolls and pepper, steak and onions plate. And boy oh boy, it was very good.
Pepper steak is seasoned perfect. Green and red peppers are fresh, and the sauce is perfect, not too overwhelming.
The spring roll sauce is nirvana. Doesn't have a mainly peanut taste, it's just perfect dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls.
This place never disappoints with anything on menu. Prices are fair and service is also always good.
Me and my husband love this restaurant.
The place is nice and quiet. Its clean from outside and from the inside. Free parking as well for customers. We always order the same kinds of food! Lol #FavoriteFood.
Money wise , its affordable! The serving before is much bigger than now but the taste and savory is still the same.
Highly recommend to everyone!
Spice pallet was a little sweeter than I’m used to, but everything was very good. Many good lunch specials that will get you fueled up for less than $10. I like the General Joe’s Chicken - nice strips of white breast meat. Not the little bits of over fried mystery meat you sometimes get at other places.
