Berni Vietnamese Restaurant is a straightforward, no-frills spot tucked along Wurzbach Road in San Antonio, serving up classic Vietnamese dishes with a focus on pho and other hearty bowls. This is the kind of place where locals drop in for a quick but satisfying meal, whether it’s a lunch break or a casual dinner.

The atmosphere inside is clean and relaxed, with enough seating that you don’t feel rushed or crowded. It leans more toward functional comfort than trendy decor, which fits well with the straightforward Vietnamese dining experience they offer. The friendly staff tends to be efficient, and food typically arrives promptly, making it a good choice if you want a warm bowl of pho without the wait and fuss.

The menu centers around pho, with a variety of options like rare steak, brisket, and meatballs, all served in portions that cater to different appetites—small through large sizes are available, which appeals to both light eaters and those craving a bigger meal. Beyond pho, you’ll find satisfying dishes such as the steak bowl with potatoes, grilled pork banh mi, and teriyaki tofu bowls, offering plenty of variety for those who want to explore beyond noodle soup.

One detail that stands out is how the pho containers are generously sized and designed to hold all the fresh herbs and fixings without needing to transfer to another bowl—something noticed and appreciated by regulars. That practicality adds to the feeling that this place understands how locals like to enjoy their pho.

For a finishing touch, Berni offers traditional Vietnamese desserts like tapioca pudding with taro, which comes as a complimentary side sometimes and isn’t overly sweet—offering a comforting balance after a savory meal. Alongside, Vietnamese-style milk coffee and unique tea options like blueberry hot tea provide flavorful local beverage choices.

This spot is well-suited for anyone who appreciates authentic Vietnamese flavors without the pretense, especially locals who want reliable service and comforting dishes in a quiet setting. It works well for solo diners, small groups, and anyone looking for a casual experience rather than a trendy night out. Visiting during lunch or early evening hours tends to offer the smoothest experience, with minimal wait times and fresh, hot food straight from the kitchen.

To-go order: beef brisket + meatball pho and pork banh mi The pho was really flavorful! (No need to add sauces.) I really liked the container was big enough to put all the fixings and eat straight from there — no need to transfer to another bowl like other places. And the banh mi was my favorite I’ve had in SA so far! It also came with complimentary taro tapioca pudding which was also really good.

Incredibly delicious!!! Some of the best pho I have had in San Antonio! Everything came out perfectly! (: I ordered the Berni Kabob and it had so much juicy flavor! The small rare steak pho was the ideal amount for lunch!

Walked in and was pleasantly surprised how nice, clean, and relaxing the interior was. I was instructed to sit anywhere and was handed a menu. Ordered pad Thai with shrimp. A plate was delivered piping hot to my table in short time. Everything I tasted was wonderful and full of authentic flavors. Towards the end of my meal I was surprised by a complementary tapioca dessert that was perfect in taste and a wonderful way to end the meal. I very much enjoyed my meal, the dining environment, and the service here. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Absolutely love this place I will not get pho soup anywhere else. Very clean inside very nice family working their hardest for good food and service and it’s never a hit and miss it’s always good. There’s other things like the Steam dumplings and the chicken and rice plate that’s soooo good as well. If I could give 10 stars to this place, I would.

me and my boyfriend went here for our 3 year anniversary and it was so good! great service and friendly/ polite staff, the food was soooo good and fresh. my only complaint is the largest size isn't very “large” in my opinion but i'm just big and greedy! they gave us a free dessert on the house which was so sweet of them & delicious! love this place & the atmosphere and definitely will be returning
