The 22 Best San Antonio Restaurants

"The trio behind this St. Mary’s Strip restaurant — Andrew Ho, Sean Wen, and Andrew Samia — combine South Asian curries with Texas barbecue, and it’s not just a gambit. Green chiles lift the heft of marbled brisket and coconut milk tempers smoked pork sausage. The Tobin Hill neighborhood Barbie-pink building and unconventional branding seem apropos of nothing, but diners will likely want to score some merch. There’s a second location in Stone Oak. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Brandon Watson

Where to Find the Best Barbecue in Texas - AFAR

"Curry Boys BBQ opened as an outdoor pop-up in 2020 during the pandemic but now has a brick-and-mortar restaurant—a bright pink one no less—sited on the St. Mary’s Strip, one of the city’s hippest neighborhoods. Curry Boys was founded by partners Andrew Ho, Sean Wen, and Andrew Samia, who all hail from Houston. The menu here is a Thai and Texan mash up and reflects Ho’s and Wen’s multicultural upbringings. Each of the main dishes (take your pick of brisket, sausage, mushrooms, or chicken) at the restaurant is served on jasmine rice and a Thai curry that perfectly marries with that tender protein. The Smokeshow, for example, features a slice of fatty brisket paired with green curry. But don’t write off the fusion offerings as a gimmick—the boys are serious about their ’cue, and all of the meats are perfectly cooked and seasoned. Consider ordering a side of its tangy and refreshing cucumber slaw or curry creamed corn to go with your order." - Mae Hamilton

First time here. We enjoyed our bowls. Food came out super fast! The brisket was delicious 😋 the pickles are sweet, so if you’re not a fan of sweet, then opt out. The hot chili oil is a good addition to overall flavor. Parking is very hard to find.

For Father's Day we decided to try this Thai/Texas BBQ fusion restaurant because of the numerous positive reviews. It is a quant restaurant in a small, older building that is very clean with a courteous and helpful staff. As we were a group, I was able to sample several dishes in one sitting...they were all excellent. My favorite was the Tony Porker. I can wholeheartedly recommend Curry Boys BBQ and know that we will return.

Food is great, flavorful, savory, delightful, and packed full of meat. Meat does melt in your mouth, pork and beef. Curry nachos are flavorful. Is a little watery but give it a few minutes and it thickens up. The cream corn is amazing on its own, but adding it your curry bowl packs the bowl with more texture and flavor. Also dipped the chips in the corn and nacho cheese for another great way to eat with your chips. Ended with their ice cream, lyche strawberry and Ube. Both delicious. Would come here every week if it was close to me!

Curry Boys BBQ – A Hidden Gem Worth Visiting! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) While visiting San Antonio for a business trip, I was on a late-night date, searching for a good spot to eat before places closed at 10 PM. After two other locations were either closed or too packed, Curry Boys BBQ became our third choice—and I’m so glad it was! Food & Drinks • Unfortunately, they were out of brisket, which was my first choice, but the staff gave great recommendations based on my love for sweet and spicy flavors. • We started with pulled pork nachos—loaded with brisket, cilantro, barbecue sauce, and tortilla chips.Absolutely delicious and a great way to kick off the meal. • For the main course, we both got the Good Luck Cluck rice bowl on the staff’s recommendation. It was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced with spice, sweetness, and smokiness. • I paired it with a Belgian white draft beer, which was light, slightly sweet, and refreshing. • The portions were generous, and everything was so good that I ate every bite in one sitting. Atmosphere & Ambience • The restaurant is a bright pink building, which definitely stands out! It felt like a hole-in-the-wall gem—and those always impress me. • We arrived late, so we had the whole place to ourselves, which made the experience even better. • The decor inside was quirky and unique, with interesting placements of random objects—like a TV in a fireplace surrounded by wood. The artwork and decorations added to the charm and personality of the spot. • The bathroom was clean, smelled great, and felt comfortable—a small but important detail! Service & Overall Experience • The staff was fantastic! They took their time recommending dishes based on my preferences, even though we arrived close to closing time. • The total came to about $64 for two people, which was on the pricier side, but we ordered premium menu items and everything was worth it. • I highly recommend this place and will absolutely return to try the brisket next time! ⭐ Final Rating: 5/5 – A must-visit spot for flavorful, unique BBQ with a great atmosphere and excellent service!

Planned to visit here once we saw it on YouTube. It was just what I hoped for a simple menu. Great flavor to the food and service. I love the atmosphere of the little pink building. I would eat this every day. The brisket was so tender and paired amazingly with the Thai cury and rice. We had the curry queso and chips that queso was amazing!! It's definitely a great option a must.

Curry Boys BBQ was so delicious. We ordered the chips and curry queso to start, very creamy and rich. The Good Luck Cluck was a juicy chicken thigh in a really good yellow curry sauce with potato and carrots. I added pickles and chili crunch and substituted noodles. Very good flavor and balance of texture. We also had the Magic Mushoom in a green curry over rice. It was light, tasty with a good curry flavor. We sat outside on the covered patio and had a very nice lunch. A must try!

It's my first visit to their new location, but having the food a second time has definitely brought back some good memories. The food is delicious from the Mystic Mushroom to the tender brisket. A perfect blend of Texan and Asian food.

Food was good. Very unique take on fusion. I wish I had more rice or less curry. The ratio was kind of off. Brisket was excellent. Noodles were great too. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Everything was so good but packed a spice that we weren't prepared for lol. I came in for pick up and the staff were welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try more. Not pictured is the curried corn.

Was craving bbq while in San Antonio and decided to skip Pinkertons and 2M to try this more unique asian fusion style bbq and it did not disappoint! I ordered the smoked brisket/Thai curry bowl and smoked chicken/curry bowl. The bbq meats in both dishes were already super tender and flavorful on their own but mixed in with the Thai curry rice bowl made for a really savory meal that was greater than the sum of their parts.

10/10 every time!!! If you're wanting a warm, hearty meal then this is your spot! Everything is sooo good but my favorite is probably the brisket smokeshow. The brisket was seasoned perfectly and so tender. It's a relaxed environment, just order and the counter and they will deliver to your table. Parking is limited as it is on St. Mary's Strip but you may get lucky with the two spots in front. Otherwise, street parking will be it. Definitely recommend visiting!

Really cool and hip little spot. I got their most popular dish, which was the brisket bowl. To be honest, the brisket was definitely lacking in flavor and substance. The bowl as a whole felt relatively bland, even when I added on the chili flakes and pickles. Had higher hopes coming into this place and I was let down.

Cane to this location back in April and was intrigued because the idea and story of how this restaurant came to be is nice . But personally cuisine wasn't for me . The sauce is more of a curry broth then actual curry sauce. The rice personally looked and tasted a days old and the mountain of chili crips really created a Barrier between the food . The chili noodles in my opinion tasted more soy than chili. Maybe I came on an off day , maybe I picked the wrong dish or again perhaps it's just not for me. Service was great . I travel to this area from time to time for work maybe I'll give it another shot .

soliddd 4.0 tbh would come here again to try something else, the aesthetic of this place is very appealing. food: brisket smoke show with chili oil and pickles 4.5/5 - it was already spicy so i don't recommend adding chili oil lol. curry creamed corn 5/5 - just B0MB cold garlic noodles 5/5 - pretty soothing after the curry so GET it service: it was okay, the energy was lowkey weird tho

Amazing Thai inspired Texas BBQ. Incredible concept and even better execution. Everything is well balanced while also staying true to Texas bbq. The brisket dish was well balanced and the sweet and spicy fish sauce complemented the smokiness of the pork ribs. Definitely the best fusion bbq spot in Texas.

The Brisket Smoke Show and Good Luck Cluck bowls had good flavor. Fried shallots gave each bowl a nice crunch. I'm on the fence if this is a successful fusion of SE Asian curry and smoked Texas bbq. It's basically a bowl of rice swimming in curry topped with smoked meat. Were the rice & curry good? Yes. Was the smoked meat good? Definitely. Did they pair well together? Sure. But they would have also been fine served separately as well. Also ordered a pork bowl and a hotdog from the kids' menu. The pork "bowl" was served on a small plate that didn't allow for much movement. The hotdog looked plain and unappetizing on a pile of store-bought tortilla chips, with 2 packets of ketchup. Casual dining in a hot pink house decorated with potted plants that have names. (You'll find Mintgomery Mintgomery in the restroom.) It only has 3 parking spaces in front, so you'll have to find street parking.

Saw Curry Boys on Instagram and was intrigued to give it a try. First impression, very small, casual and limited parking. I was not sure what to order and the gentleman taking our order recommended the Brisket Smoke Show. He said it was the most popular dish. The food was not bad at all, the curry was good and the brisket was soft and tender with great taste, would I have imagined both of these flavors together? Definitely not. Although both the curry and brisket had good flavor, I was not a fan of both of the flavors together. It was a different experience. Also, the menu had an option to change the rice for noodles, I probably would have done that because the bowl comes with a good amount of broth and it makes the rice pretty soggy after some time. The curry creamed corn was also good but again the mix of curry flavors with typical Texan bbq flavor really confused my tastebuds.

I loved the food here - a fusion of flavors that tasted at once familiar and with a spice kick. It is a flavorful and delicious mix of Texas BBQ and Thai Curries.

Thai inspired Texas BBQ. Located in a charming hot pink house, Curry Boys offers a concise menu that creatively fuses the two cuisines. Order at the counter, and your order will be brought to your table in/on disposable bowls and plates. They serve soft drinks, and Mr. Brown canned coffee. My husband and I ordered nearly the entire menu (which set us back $100), and were fully prepared to love the meal. But sadly, the dishes ranged from lackluster to downright bad. My husband enjoyed the brisket in the Brisket Smoke Show, but felt that the mediocre, one-note green curry overpowered the flavors of the meat. The Magic Mushroom, their vegetarian version, was also just a pedestrian green curry with a limited variety of other vegetables. It was thin and bland. The Curry Creamed Corn was not creamy at all; the sweet kernels sat in a watery sauce, topped with straight up curry powder. The Green Curry Potato Salad needed 3 times as much mayo. The Thai Green Salad seemed to be missing a dressing altogether. Conversely, the Cold Chili Garlic Noodles were oversalted and over sauced, with a briny, metallic flavor. The flan (aka "Flan Solo") was topped with a tasty gochujang caramel drizzle, but was so watery that the pieces of flan disintegrated and floated as chunks in the sea of cold brew. We were left completely confused as to how this establishment managed a James Beard nomination.

God this place was good! My friend introduced me to it for a quick Friday lunch, and I was so impressed with everything. The perfect marriage of curry and barbecue - what more can you ask for? Casual, fast service and great flavors all around! Will definitely revisit. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, a couple spots directly in front of the restaurant and plenty of (free) street parking around the area. - Vegetarian options? Yes. - Reservations? No, this place is casual. Order at the counter and take the food to-go or dine in. Seat yourself. FOOD RATINGS: - Good Luck Cluck (5/5): Delicious chicken curry bowl. Very tender smoked chicken with a perfect smoky flavor, and the yellow curry was smooth and tasty. - Brisket Smoke Show (5/5): Tender and juicy brisket with a mildly spicy green curry that was so yummy! Can't go wrong with either bowl. - Curry queso hot dog (5/5): This was a pretty dang good hot dog. The smoked pork link is really good and all of the toppings, including the curry queso, are perfect! - Cold chili garlic noodles (3.5/5): Just okay noodles. Need way more chili garlic oil. The cup they come in is fine but difficult to eat out of without spilling the noodles out.

It's been 4 years since my last review and I think is time for an update! It's been four years since Curry Boys BBQ opened up in their tiny little restaurant in the St.Mary's Strip and since then they've moved to a bigger and better location just across from their old one, and even opened a second location in Stone Oak! Curry Boys BBQ is still in my top restaurants in the city and is one I ALWAYS recommend to people that are coming out of town. My ultimate favorite bowl is their brisket smoke show with a size of spicy sauce. The brisket is always cooked on point and the curry is amazing. Everything blends together so beautifully and I promise this dish is nothing like you've ever had in your life! Also like any BBQ restaurant in Texas, they make limited quantities daily and will sell out by the end of the day. So make sure to get here early so you can choose anything you want from their menu and can enjoy their amazing food.

A quirky and fantastic Texas BBQ meets Asian curry mix up! Food: Great mashup of quality smoked BBQ and Asian curry! Had the Brisket Smoke Show and really enjoyed the quality brisket and the excellent green curry. Very flavorful and quality throughout. Service: prompt service Ambiance: a little crummy, rather simple, but ambiance is not the draw Drinks: Craft beer on tap, looking forward to coming for dinner Overall cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: average (not there's only one "stall" and it's unisex) Value: quality to cost ratio yields a good value

This place was very delicious. I loved the vibe and the service was fantastic. The chicken curry was fantastic. I also tried the mushroom dish which was also wonderful. The flavors mixed well together and the atmosphere was fun. I am from out of town, but would recommend it and if I ever get the chance to be back- I will!

The food was great, but it did have a lingering fishy flavor that I wasn't quite accustomed to. Portions are quite large, plenty of seating, full bar, and several TVs playing numerous sports programs. Parking is a bit of a nightmare due to the location, but if you can find parking it's definitely a place to check out!

Food was delicious! A unique Thai twist on Texas bbq. The flavors went together wonderfully. Brisket was super smokey and tender, better than some BBQ places we went to. Rice was cooked well and the curry was delicious. I loved the creamed curry corn as well. Queso was very tasty but didn't taste much curry flavor. Overall food was excellent and I highly recommend.

Arrived and minimum parking and. It a very big place. But what fun colors. You order at the counter and then the food is delivered to you. There is beer on tap. The food is plated in styrofoam and plastic silvery is available. Food: ordered the tony porker. The Penang curry with the pork was a great compliment and having the Asian fusion flavor with pulled pork BBQ is a great flavor combo. The pickles added a nice crunch. Cleanliness: clean and bright Bathroom cleanliness: unisex and only one. Arrived at opening and bathroom was clean

Quaint, cozy dining spot with the best curry bowls! Quick and efficient counter service. I would highly recommend the Brisket Smoke Show and the Curry Creamed Corn. Great selections of beer on tap and bottled drinks. With limited parking, be prepared to park along the street. But this place is a must to visit in San Antonio!

Wow, everyone needs to go and eat at Curry Boys BBQ. This place is truly a hidden gem. When you drive up most likely you will have to do street parking so read & be careful where you park. Then enter the place of delicious food and place your order at the window. You Pay when you place your order and wait for beautiful and delicious food to come to you. Then let your taste buds come to fruition as you eat delicious food at good prices at a fun place. The restaurant is small with 2 dining rooms but the ambiance is welcoming and the employees are nice, cheerful and caring. I will be back.

This past Monday, we ventured downtown to visit @curryboysbbq. It was our first time to eat indoors. Dad had his Lemonade, and hubby and I both had coconut water. Dad and I shared the Tony Porker, which was pulled pork rice bowl. Hubby had the Brisket Smoke Show. We also had the sides curry creamed corn and green curry potato salad. It was all very good. Don't miss this spot since it's a James Beard semifinalist restaurant. The mix of Asian and BBQ is really good.

Visiting the area, my sister suggested this delicious spot whose menu included a fusion of Curry and BBQ. Once you enter, walk up to the window and then choose your own seat. I tried the Brisket Smoke Show and opted for noodles instead of rice. The dish included super tender brisket that was perfectly seasoned in a bowl of noodles and Green Curry. The dish also had a few carrots and potatoes that were delicious as well. We added Fresh Herb and Cucumber Slaw. A refreshing slaw that paired well with the meal. While we were waiting, they dropped off a free dish of Edamame that had a slightly spicy and BBQ flavor. Pretty delicious, we appreciated it!

Once I saw this unique combination there was no way I could leave SA without trying it! This place is so good!! I will forever be thinking of Curry Boys BBQ. We got the brisket smoke show, chicken salad sando, cold chili garlic noodles, and curry creamed corn. We loved everything. The brisket was high quality moist brisket that you would find at the top bbq joints. It was falling apart with barely any effort. The green curry was delicious and had a kick. I liked the fried shallots on top. The chicken salad sando was perfect for my fiancee since she wanted something a little lighter. The bread was perfectly buttered and toasted. The curry mayo did not go without notice. The curry powder sprinkled on top was a nice touch. Both of our sides were delicious as well. I would order this same exact meal time and time again! The decor had a fun and nostalgic vibe to it. I thought it was funny that they named all of the plants. Please open a location in Houston!!

My sis and I were famished after we did a 9 mile walk through the Pearl district and downtown. My go to place anytime I'm in the area is Curry Boys! All menu items are good, but like the name states, the Brisket smoke show was the star. Tender juicy brisket in a mild green coconut curry, with noodles instead of rice. One of the employees was sweet and delivered to our table a side of complimentary spicy edamame. Interesting flavors of spice with a hint of BBQ. We also ordered a side of cucumber slaw- so yummy. It was light, fresh, with pickled cucumbers, and not overloaded with mayo. It all hit the spot and was delicious. Place was casual and clean, with plenty of tables to choose from in either the blue room or pink room.

After a day of drinking at Wino fest, our group descended on this wonderfully air conditioned pink temple of curry and barbecue. This is still my husband's favorite SATX restaurant. It's also the go to for bringing friends who visit from out of town. It was great to see new menu items. This is the first time we'd eaten in and I was pleased to find extra rice! Yum. Stay amazing Curry Boys!

Thai curry and Texas bbq, a fusion I didn't know would pair so well. I definitely recommend curry boys! It's a casual dining spot in Tobin Hill. Order food, beer and wine at the window then find a table. The food was brought out quickly and so flavorful and delicious! I tried the green curry brisket and was so impressed, great flavors and burnt ends on the brisket. My only suggestion would be to add a little more curry to the bowl for the heavy serving of rice.

Very good bowl of brisket green curry noodles. Brisket is well marbled and falling apart tender which pairs perfectly with the spicy green curry. Maybe a bit more green curry would make this 5 stars. Also got the Monday special which is a sausage in a soft bun with some kind of curry cheese sauce and comes with a beer. The value proposition on this is great. The sausage is high quality with a nice snap and the cheese sauce just elevates this.

Curry Boys is always a must-visit when I'm in San Antonio! The combination of curry with BBQ is so unique, the flavors are BOMB, the workers are so nice, and the pricing is very reasonable! FAST FACTS: * Parking - there is a small lot by the building but also free street parking nearby * Online ordering - available on their website SERVICE - The worker who took my order at the counter was very friendly and personable! The food came out within about 10 minutes after ordering and a worker came by to check and see if we needed anything and to make sure we were enjoying everything midway through. PRICING - The total was $48.44 after tax and before tip for pulled pork nachos ($11.95), brisket smoke show ($14.95), curry queso hot dog ($7.95), green curry potato salad ($4.95), and curry creamed corn ($4.95). I think the pricing is very reasonable for the portion sizes, quality of food, and presentation! PULLED PORK NACHOS (9.5/10) - These were even better than I was expecting! The pulled pork was so tender and had a fantastic savory flavor. I knew the curry queso was delicious but the real star is the honey sriracha that's drizzled on top... it adds sweetness to brings all the flavors together. I would order these again (I'd even get them as my main part of the meal)! BRISKET SMOKE SHOW (8.5/10) - This was my third or fourth time having this and it's packed with flavor every time! The heat level of the green curry is perfect and the portion size is massive! The brisket is tender and has a great smoke ring, but it isn't going to be the best brisket you've ever had in your life. My only complaint is that there was less curry than previous times I've gotten it so you end up with dry rice at the end. You can order extra curry for $4.95, but then that makes the dish much pricier. Still, I would order this again! CURRY QUESO HOT DOG (8/10) - I'm happy I tried this! It's simple, but done right. The curry queso is super tasty, the sausage link has a great texture, the potato bun is soft, and the onions and cilantro bring a nice freshness to it. I would order this again! GREEN CURRY POTATO SALAD (7/10) - I love potato salad and this was a great one! It's a great cold side option to cut through and lingering heat from the curries. I wish it had a stronger curry flavor, but I still enjoyed every bite! I would order this again. CURRY CREAMED CORN (6/10) - This didn't blow me away... the corn seemed over cooked and was a little mushy. Similar to the potato salad, I wish it had a stronger curry flavor. I probably wouldn't order this again. I recommend Curry Boys BBQ to everyone I know visiting San Antonio! I've even hooked since I first visited the little pink shack a couple of years ago and they continue to impress me with their flavor and service.

Ok we were wonder curry boy must have some type of curry bowl but not sure they are Malaysian, Thai, Indian or Japanese curry. It is a bit like Malaysian curry. But it is a mix Asian Texas style. We got brisket smoked show bowl. This bowl is mixed of Texan BBQ and green curry. It comes with rice. The brisket is good BBQ. Bowl is affordable and good for lunch. Portion is good.

I did say that I recommended this place but you have to be in an experimental mood to enjoy barbecue Curry. We all ordered similar items including the kids who ordered hot dogs. The only disappointing thing for me was that there was a lot of rice with each of the dishes. However, I guess that's expected if you're ordering something with Curry. Definitely worth the experience!

As you walk in there is a little window we're you order your food and the have a small menu and mo pics to know what the plate looks like. For being my first time I didn't know what to order. Got the Brisket smoke plate.. the brisket was soft and moist. The sauce had a spicy and sweet flavor but was lacking density. Drinks are self serve. The established was clean. The only down fall was that every time they open the door patio. There were several of flies in the dining area. The employees bring the plate out to you and it is not the time that wait in you. They do come and pick up the plate after you are done.

Excited to try this place after hearing about it in Texas Monthly BBQ during my recent visit to San Antonio. Curry Boys offers a unique twist on traditional BBQ, incorporating authentic Southeast Asian flavors for a delightful fusion of tastes. Opted for the Brisket Smoke Show served over rice, veggies, and a flavorful green curry. They also offer a sausage and chicken curry dish for those seeking variety. Each bite was incredible, and I left feeling satisfied without being overly stuffed - a rarity with BBQ. Though I visited during a relatively quiet time, I can easily imagine this place bustling during lunch hours. If you're seeking something different in the BBQ scene, Curry Boys is a must-try - you won't be disappointed.

This place is adorable with its all-pink decor. I went in to place a to-go order, expecting a bit of a wait. The cashier even gave me a drink while I waited, but to my surprise, my food was ready in just 10 minutes. I ordered the brisket smoke show and curry cream corn, and both were delicious. If you're worried about the curry being too strong, don't be--it complements the food perfectly without being overpowering.

I was a little disappointed by my experience. There's a lot of hype around this place. I loved the outside, bright pink and one of those really cool restaurant houses. It had a great vibe, kinda like being home if everything was pink! The woman who took our order was great. She was helpful and poured my beer perfectly. Bonus points for having my favorite beer ON TAP! My disappointment comes from the food. I was excited to try a curry and BBQ fusion. I ordered the brisket curry bowl. The rice was ok, the curry was flavorful. But my brisket was so disappointing. Honestly it tasted more like pot roast than brisket. The bark was soft and chewy, not melt in your mouth. Some parts were Smokey, others were almost flavorless. There weren't any huge flavors, I was hoping for some stronger curry and BBQ. My wife's chicken bowl was much better. Her chicken was incredibly tender and seasoned exceptionally well. Still wasn't huge on the rice but the chicken worked much better with the curry. I'm disappointed but I think I'd go back, at least for the chicken and beer.

Absolutely phenomenal! Our new go to before a show at the Paper Tiger. Good prices, huge servings, great service, great ambiance, cozy atmosphere! Filling, delicious, flavorful, and hearty food! I just love it! The people are great and the food is ever better. Made and served with love... These are the places that Yelp exists to make sure everyone knows about. This is somewhere you have to try! 10000% recommend! We've been twice. Will be back before every future show.

I was recommended to visit the Curry Boys BBQ by a friend from Laredo. I landed in SAT and before heading to the 35, I took a 8 minute trip to the CB BBQ. I was surprised by the PINK! building, in this trendy neighborhood with many other restaurants. There are two parking spots in front of the restaurant, and plenty of street parking on this Sunday afternoon. I was welcomed by a friendly and helpful employee, who recommended me the popular Brisket Smoke Show, and I added the Green Curry Potato Salad. The Brisket Smoke Show is really good, like my friend had told me, and I understand why it's a popular dish. Served in a white bowl, I had a moment like I was eating a home cooked meal, so good! The salad was also good, a hint of curry, filled with meats. This has become a spot I visit again next time I land in SAT or depart from it.

Love love love!! Super filling and super delicious. This is such a fun fusion and works so well. The broths are flavorful, the meats are juicy and the flavors are mind-blowing! Make sure you go hungry because you get big portions that are very filling! The restaurant is super cute and fits well on St. Marys. The staff was very friendly and threw out great recommendations! Already can't wait to go back here!

I was super excited to try Curry Boys based on other reviews, and I have to say I was pretty disappointed in what I actually received. I went at about 4:30p on a Friday, so they weren't too busy yet. The friendly cashier recommended the Smoke Show, so I went with it. The restaurant itself is clean and bright, with well-placed seating that doesn't interfere with a line at the register. The food came out pretty quickly, which it should considering what I received. I didn't look at the portion before I left, I got it to-go and ate at home. I was shocked at the portion size once I opened the container. 2 thinish slices of dry brisket, a small scoop of rice, and literally 2 baby carrots and 2 pieces of potato (equivilent to 1/4 of a small red potato). The curry comes on the side so it stays fresh, which I did appreciate. The curry itself was very tasty, if a little loose in its texture. It was creamy and spicy and went well with the flavor of the brisket. I just cannot understand how someone could think that the portion size that I was handed is acceptable for $15. If it had been priced at $8, it would have been more understandable, but as it wasn't, I felt a bit robbed honestly. The brisket was dry and kind of chewy, but did have a great smoky flavor. The veggies had no flavor to speak of and appear to have been boiled and then tossed into the dish. I would not come back, and I feel that Curry Boys is a bit overhyped. Maybe I just got a bad portion, I don't know, but I wouldn't spend the time and money to try it out again.

I am head over heels for the curry dishes, it pairs so well with the smokiness of the bbq. The cold garlic noodles were good and refreshing but I personally prefer hot noodles. The food came quick and the place is pretty cute and welcoming.

I came here while visiting San Antonio before a concert at the paper tiger. The location is so close to the venue and the food was great!

Located in a seemingly suburban area, this pink shop is the cutest and most unique bbq you'll ever eat. While there seems to not be much to do in the area, the quaint house provides a cozy getaway from the cold and is very conveniently located near a bus stop! Inside is spacious with lots of seating and they accept card. One point I was most amazed by was that the single bathroom was huge- the kind of space that felt like I could do a mini fencing match. The inside decor is a lot cuter than I expected with branded old time cowboy movie posters and a small retro TV. As for the food- I recommend the curry specifically. However, as an Asian the flavor profile misses the mark a bit for me. The price point is reasonable for what it is and the staff is quite thoughtful. We got the brisket smoke show which featured an adequate portion. The jasmine rice was cooked ok, the green curry had a slight spice to it and was yummy though included vegetables such as russet potato chunks and baby carrots. The brisket was medium tender to texas standards and offered a slight smokiness without being too overpowering. I would recommend. The chili oil garlic noodles are a miss for me, the noodles were a bit soggy and the straight kind. The sauce was overly salty and slightly sweet/tangy instead of a slippery coating. The smoked edemames were not really smoked and coated in a sweet Thai chili sauce (the kind you use with chicken). Overall I give it a high rating because I do think in terms of the food I've had here it is solid and unique. I appreciate the service and how spacious yet cozy the space is. Omit the sides and opt for the entrees instead.

This little pink building hides inside it a delicious array of flavors and curry. While in town for the weekend, we had to check this place out after hearing that they were nominated for a James Beard Award. We went around 5pm on a Friday and must have timed it just right as we landed one of the few parking spots right out front! Taking it as a blessing from the food gods, we went in. First-the decor. You have movie posters of old westerns that are modified to mention Curry Boys BBQ. A fireplace with an old tv in it playing a western. It's such a fun vibe! Now the food. The different curry used in each dish was flavorful and added to the dish. While it had a kick, this wasn't just a spice for spice sake-it was a true compliment to the dish. We had the pulled pork nachos with the spicy sauce on the side as our littles were with us. We also had the Brisket Smoke Show, the Missing Link, and the Curry Queso Hotdog. Because how could we not? To wrap it all up, the Flan Solo. We told ourselves we might need it to break up the spice, but let's be honest-who can pass up a good flan?! My advice: don't. Passing on it would be a tragic mistake.
