I loveeee this place! First, the name is hilarious, the atmosphere is lovely, and the food & drinks are best top quality. We had Above my Pay Grade, Are you there God.., Standard Deviation boozy boba, Garlicky noodles, Taiwanese Popcorn chicken, Eggplant, Marinated Bamboo, and Black Sesame ice cream. Everything was so delicious, I came back the next day and ordered almost all of the same. I highly recommend if you’re in the mood for super good Asian food.

Best Quality Daughter is one of my favorite local spots for solo dining and dining with friends. The space is beautifully decorated, and the vibe is spunky and inviting. They have a full bar and a list of featured cocktails - they change their menu so often, so you're sure to get something different every few months.

I always start my visit with the smashed cucumbers. Honestly, I wish I knew what's in this dish because I crave it often and wanna make it a home. And the creamy coconut tom yum noodles is one of my favorite dishes in town. There's something about that sauce that's absolutely killer.

A big shout out to all the staff at Best Quality Daughter. Y'all always do an excellent job, and you make San Antonio proud. Keep up the good work, and I'll be back soon! ?

The food was great, and the service was super friendly. I tried almost every appetizer, and they were all amazing! The drinks were also really unique and tasty.

Omg, this has to be my favorite restaurant in all of Texas!! The food is amazing here and I wish they opened a restaurant in my hometown Vancouver BC Canada. I would eat this all the time!

The restaurant is in a cool house with funky decor. Our server was super nice and helped us choose dishes. Everything is meant to be shared.

We ordered a few things and i loved every single one. The smashed cucumbers were a decent size and very fresh. The guido beef Dan Dan noodles were super interesting because it was like a Mex Tex take on the Asian dish. My boyfriend really liked this one.

I was obsessed with the cashew chicken and pork fried rice. So many flavours together and both these dishes were especially huge! I told our server that I couldn't eat spicy food so she was so nice and got them to omit the peppers 🙂

The cocktails here sound super cool as well. I had one of their boozy bobas, the mango one. It was really yummy!

Me and my bf both said that we would come back here again before we leave San Antonio!

The food was out of this world. The cashew chicken and burrata jam were my favorite. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The restaurant itself was very cute. Packed on a Tuesday night, make a reservation!

Located in San Antonio’s Pearl District (so many cute spots here) this is a James Beard Awarded spot.

Ambiance artsy with a 90’s vibe with all pink wallpaper. Service was great! The cocktails & food was AMAZING. I’m still thinking about the food we got

KORERN CORN CHEESE SPRING ROLLS,

MOCHI CHEDDAR HUSH PUPPIES

IMPOSSIBLE POTSTICKERS

SUPER GARLICKY NOODLES

WOK CHARRED GREEN BEANS

Still thinking about the corn cheese spring rolls with gochujang & the mochi cheddar hush puppies. They both were my favorite. The green beans were some of the best I’ve ever had & the potstickers & garlic noodles were classic. Service was good. Cocktails were delicious. Cannot wait to be back!

Every December for the last 5 years, I've had annual meeting in San Antonio where a couple work friends and I try to top the prior year's lunch spot. To say there's not a lot of pressure on the choice is an understatement. Fortunately, Best Quality Daughter knocked it out of the park! It had all the things we look for. Most important, impressive quality food that is unique in it's class. Different stuff that we usually don't get. Great staff that shows impressive ownership/leadership. And, a funky vibe location.

Best Quality Daughter had them all and for the fifth year, we can check that box: a great meal with great people. The sad (sad?) part is that we just order as much as we can to sample as wide a variety as we can. I wish we had the Anthony Bourdain budget, but we did limit ourselves to three apps and three entrees. In a miracle, I think they kept coming out better and better as each plate arrived.

We started off with the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken. Great Asian Fried chicken and if the Thai Basil Ranch sauce was for sale, we all would have bought a jar to bring home! It could accompany so much. Next up were the very unique Mochi Cheddar Hush Puppies. Again, the accompanying Tai chili jam was off the rails. Most hush puppies are over cooked or at too high a temp. These were fluffy, almost pastry, versions of mac & cheese with a great parmesan(?) crust. We finished out the apps with the Impossible Potstickers. I love potstickers and these were new level. I'm not remotely vegan, but these were divine. Eat them fast while they are still warm and you will get a sublime pop of ginger in a way you've never seen.

Next up we seriously trolled the entrees. We shared everything family style which is what I highly recommend so you can sample more than you order. Be careful though, you may loose a finger if someone is digging in too aggressively. Be kind to your neighbor... We started off with Salt-n-Pepper Shrimp. I just can't find the right emoji that shows "Joy". Smiling, pleasurable, happy - Joy. That's all that came to mind eating that shrimp. Not overly sodiumed out, but an incredible spice of salt & pepper. Genius in a bite. Surprisingly, it gets even better. We were all knocked out with the innovative Red Curry Mole Beef Stir Fry that came next. That chocolate mole with mouth tingling warm (not painfully hot) curry was a pairing I would have never expected. But I enjoyed it. And the roasted sunflower seeds gave it a taste level and texture bump. As we sat there satiated and content looking to see if the seating could turn into a nap space, out rolled the final and supreme dish. I would NEVER order this as a meal. I would only recommend it as a shared experience. It was so rich and decadent that I would have to be hospitalized after over indulging if I went at it alone. It was the Pork Belly Ssam. I recommend this highly: order all your entrees and then plus this to share. It was like eating bacon butter with a chewy finish. Then when you add the pickled onions and INSANE-ly good sauces on the side....

Oh man, that finishes off my year with an EXCEPTIONAL meal. Ok, I've written too much in all caps. Trust me: bring your special someone(s) to this place and enjoy your heart out.

Apologies for the poor photos this time. I was too focused on getting my fair share of the food before my two lunch partners polished things off.
