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.

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.

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.

We love how the Best Quality Daughter is a smaller establishment that doesn’t get super busy or packed- it makes it feel like you are family and they are paying plenty of attention to you. We love how the family dishes come out one at a time which paces your meal and doesn’t overwhelm you. The rice just keeps coming which keeps the kids happy too. Always a great experience and such delicious food.
