Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu. In 2018, chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, wanting to address the sparsity of Asian-American female chefs in South Texas, developed a new concept through a series of pop-up dinners called Best Quality Daughter with fellow chef Anne Ng and artist Jennifer Ling Datchuk. Today Best Quality Daughter is located in the historic Mueller House at the Pearl Brewery. Curated by chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, Best Quality Daughter's menu takes inspiration from her travels and the comfort food of her youth as a second-generation Chinese-American.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jennifer Dobbertin

From the OpenTable editors: Chef and owner Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin realizes her vision of bringing more Asian American women chefs to South Texas at Best Quality Daughter, and it's earned her a James Beard nom and loads of local fans. Dobbertin unabashedly combines Asian and global flavors in unique dishes like salt and pepper shrimp with Thai chimichurri or rice chips with mapo hummus, resulting in this singular restaurant in the historic Mueller House that is so very San Antonio.

    I love this place. I lived in China for 10 years and the food here always takes me back. I love the chef's unique spin on some of my favorite authentic dishes. The music tends to be a bit louder than I would prefer but the lighting and designs are beautiful. And the prices won't break the bank! I definitely recommend this place to SA natives and visitors alike.

    Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Super appreciated the waitress asking about allergies and having swaps ready for our seafood allergic friend. The vibe was exquisite. Beautiful wall paper and decor. I felt inspired not only by the food but by the ambiance as well.

    We had a lovely dinner, the food is creative, with many unexpected and delicious twists. The service was outstanding, our waiter -who im sorry i didn’t register his name but is a lovely guy with brown hair and glasses dressed smartly with dress pants and shirt- was remarkably knowledgeable, accommodating and straightforward; he was assertive in the best way with his recommendations which were spot on. We will definitely be back. If you can go in group it would give you the opportunity to explore the menu better, since portions are rather large, the two of could only manage 2 starters and a main. Oh, and dessert off course.

    another outstanding experience at BQD! Brought my niece to her first visit, we had the garlicky noodles as the appetizer, the cashew chicken and the pork belly wraps as our main. Every bite was delicious. SO.MUCH.FOOD.  for two people, but we brought doggie bags home. The cocktails were remarkable as well. Super friendly & attentive waiter which is pretty much the norm at this establishment. Can’t wait to return next month!!

    I have been wanting to go to this spot for awhile. I finally came into town from LA to visit family and came here. Loved the cute vibes. There are 4 rooms with different themes, I loved the pink one of course! I love Thai Tea & this was the first time I have ever had a different version of an expresso martini. It was fabulous! The cashew chicken and cucumbers are 10/10. The Brussels sprouts are great as well. I will say it took awhile for our food, but I would wait again because it’s worth it!
