Winner: Best Quality Daughter
602 Avenue A
(210) 819-4236
bestqualitydaughter.com
Chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin opened Best Quality Daughter at the Pearl in fall 2020, a brutal time for restaurants. But her bold Chinese-fusion menu made the dining spot an instant standout. Set in a pink-hued historic building, the Best Quality Daughter draws crowds for craveable plates including peanut-tamarind Brussels sprouts, curry guisada dan dan and family- style cashew chicken. Don’t skip dessert: ice cream sandwiches made with scoops from local Dorp Creamery. Rooted in Dobbertin’s heritage, Best Quality Daughter feels like a warm, rebellious celebration — and also like home.
