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.

Not your ordinary dishes! The creativity is exceptional! We got the famous Cashew Chicken and it did not disappoint! Flavors were amazing and I felt good after eating which is a plus! We also enjoyed the hush puppies and the garlic noodles! Again, not like anything you’ve tasted before. Our server was great, and knew a lot about the menu ! Service was fast and the price, well let’s just say the value was a steal! Wished we lived here we would have to eat there at least weekly! Loved it!!

The service was somewhat slow and the seat on the booth hard to navigate. The food at lunch was difficult to choose from because we (3) all wanted different things. We got the curry coconut shrimp fried rice but found it bland. The wagyu flank steak meal was huge and also not seasoned well. I ordered the garlicy noodles - yes, they were garlicky and not much depth of flavor otherwise. The saving dish was the chicken cashew. That was delicious, but alas, only my husband had that.

An absolute must go to if you are in San Antonio. Food is exquisite!! We had the hush puppies, chow fun, and cashew chicken. Highly recommend all dishes- especially the chow fun. Ambiance is perfect for a date night or fun night out. Love the idea of boba drinks.

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.

Holy macaroni, is this place great! Our server, Blake, was cool and made some great recommendations. The cocktails are so smart and delicious. But the FOOD! Next level flavors. So inventive and tasty. I’ll be back again and again.
