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.

    My husband and I made reservations for 5:00 pm. We arrived at 4:45 and were seated right away. We chose to sit outside. We had the chicken and a martini from the Happy Hour menu and we had the pork belly and the hamburger from the dinner menu. Because we were celebrating my birthday we received the Yuzu meringue pie on the house. Everything was excellent and our waiter was great. You will love it!!!!

    Muhammad was an outstanding server. The hostess seating us was very gracious and energetic. Menu is a bit limited to my liking. The chicken fried steak was done well but sauce was too heavy. Meatloaf was also good. Cesar salad had too much dressing and it was too thick. Please lighten it up. Sitting outside was a lovely experience along the river with soft lighting and beautiful patio.

    Beautiful view of the river and nice live country music at the Saturday night live fire dinner show. Food just kept coming out😊 and everything was delivered hot and fresh including the corn, macaroni and potatoes and even chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. I had the steak 🥩 and it was cooked perfectly as i ordered it. My girl had the red snapper with mango salsa and she loved it
