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.

Service and Food is A++++! We went for lunch today and it was steady and sat outside. We had green beans, cashew chicken, hush puppies, pot stickers, and shrimp curry fried rice. SO GOOD!!!!! I recommend it all. One thing I would ask is a sunshade for the table we sat out as I took one for the team and sat in the one seat that was full sun. Love this place and we will be back!!

Very popular, so make a reservation. Excellent Asian style food with generous portions at reasonable prices. Items labeled for allergens and kitchen able to make modifications. Despite being crowded, service was attentive and food came out promptly. We enjoyed brussel sprouts, popcorn chicken (GF!) and chapchi noodles. Too much food for 2! The Pearl district is a lot if fun with shops, hotel, restaurants and even a cool supermarket. Every visitor needs to spend some time in the district a short ride or 1.5 mile walk from downtown.

First visit but won’t be our last. Got cashew chicken, cheese spring rolls and pot stickers. Would order all again. No room for desert. We were seated at the corner table in pink room.
