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.

The food was so excellent! Super fresh and interesting flavors. The cocktail menu was so creative and fun; it was hard to choose, but I opted for the Nightshades - a spicy Asian gin drink - Yum! We had smashed cucumbers and impossible potstickers for starters and had the Curry Dan Dan noodles and Cashew chicken for entrees. Too much to eat, so got to bring some of both home. Highly recommend. Service was fantastic- Nicky was great. She even took the time to take our picture outside with the mural. Great place; we will be back!

Amazing service and the food was great! We brought our baby and the only issue was there was nowhere to put his car seat except on the bench with me. It was a circle table and rounded bench so it made it very hard to pull him out of the seat and sit with me.

Asian cuisine paired with San Antonio flavours - absolutely delicious! I spent the week in beautiful downtown San Antonio thinking that I liked the city, but I wouldn’t rush back. After visiting Best Quality Daughter, I now have a reason to. The decor of the restaurant was tastefully curated like the menu. Most importantly, however, is that their southern take on Asian cuisine is paired with southern hospitality. Libby is the best server I have had in a long time! I will be back!

Service was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. Food was very good but be mindful it is not traditional Asian food. Very much a Latin fusion. Some dishes may require an acquired taste. We had to return the fried rice, which seems difficult to mess up. But overall we really enjoyed ourselves. We look forward to next time!

First-time visitors, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal on the patio at Best Quality Daughter. We shared the “smallish” plates: Smashed Cucumbers, the Impossible Potstickers, and the Creamy Coconut Tom Yum Noodles. By then, we were stuffed and must stop here again for more amazing dishes! We also brought home T-shirts for our own three “best quality daughters.” Thank you for a fabulous time!
