“New restaurant in San Antonio. Real Northern Vietnam cuisine. The food was delicious. You should definitely try it. Nhà hàng Việt Nam mới mở với những món ăn mang hương vị phía Bắc rất ngon. Mình đã thử nem vuông, nem tôm, bún chả, kem xôi và đồ uống ở đây. Tất cả đều thực sự rất ngon. Nay quán có thêm nhiều món mới. Rất mong mọi người ủng hộ để quán phát triển và chúng ta có thêm địa điểm để thưởng thức món ăn ngon.“

“Not a fancy spot but the food was amazing! Everything is made to order; it’s not a fast food spot and you can customize your food order. All of the vegetables were fresh, chicken was top quality and the portion sizes were plentiful. Highly recommend this spot!!“

“Fabulous food and they treat you like family“

“💯 best Thai place I’ve been to in SA. I am upset that I moved to the other side of town because now I have to keep driving 30+ minutes to get good food. Worth it tho!“

“We recently tried Chef Joe Asian Cuisine and had a mixed experience overall. We ordered shrimp fried rice, beef lo mein, chicken wings, and crispy fried chili chicken. Out of everything, the beef lo mein was definitely the best—flavorful, well-cooked, and the kids really enjoyed it. However, the rest of the dishes were just average compared to what we’ve had at other authentic Chinese restaurants.

The shrimp fried rice didn’t have much flavor, and the chicken wings were a bit plain, lacking the seasoning and crispiness you would expect. The crispy fried chili chicken was decent but not particularly memorable. While none of the food was terrible, most of it didn’t stand out or make us want to rush back for those specific dishes.

On the positive side, the restaurant itself has a pleasant environment. It’s quiet, clean, and family-friendly. The waitress who served us was very nice, attentive, and friendly, which made the dining experience more enjoyable. Pricing is also reasonable, making it a decent option if you’re looking for a casual, affordable meal.

Overall, I’d say Chef Joe’s is good for a quick bite and great service, but the food could use more authentic flavors to really shine.“

“The food is always excellent and the portions are good. When I want Chinese food this is the place I go. The staff are not very friendly, but they are not rude. No greetings and no thank you. If your just looking for good food and don't care about service, this is the place to go.“
