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.

Our waiter was very nice as was all the staff. Just a few things to be improved upon but perhaps they were understaffed as it is right before Christmas. Overall a lovely lunch with excellent food. Thank you!

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.

First time we have been to Supper since the new Chef took over and the food for Brunch was delicious. Our waitress was excellent. The ambiance of the Hotel Emma where the restaurant is located cannot be topped in San Antonio.
