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.

    Unfortunately, very slow service. Server did not explain how to order properly. My party of 10 ordered individual small plates and individual entrees. Food is meant to be family style. Last time, my server explained all of that to me, so we ordered correctly, and she did a great job. This time, none of the special service pieces and no explanation of how to order. Table maintenance was slow, and I was very disappointed. I recommended my party eat there, there were all 1st time guests and probably will not return.

    I have only been to BQD twice before tonight and both times were great. Tonight was no different service wise, but I was disappointed to see that many modifications to the menu were made, seemingly with the addition of spicier rather than mild food. It was cooked to perfection but some of the flavors were overpowering. Furthermore, the music was a little loud. Overall, I enjoy the restaurant and servers and will be coming back, however I hope they will bring back some of their former menu items.
