Singhs Vietnamese, the St. Mary’s Strip favorite that helped put Vietnamese soul food on San Antonio’s casual map, has quietly set up a second home near the University of Texas at San Antonio. The new spot sticks to the winning game plan: counter-service banh mi and rice bowls with most entrees in the $12 to $14 range, keeping things friendly for student budgets and longtime fans alike.
What to Order and Prices
The UTSA menu tracks closely with the original St. Mary’s lineup, with rice bowls, bún (rice noodles) and banh mi sandwiches making up the core of the offerings. Full entrees land in that $12 to $14 sweet spot, which makes it easy to mix, match and still keep the bill in check.
One headline item is the shrimp rice, a $13 bowl built on rice seasoned with coconut oil, ginger, turmeric and scallions, then finished with sesame seeds, Maggi and cilantro. It is essentially comfort food with a degree in seasoning, per Uber Eats.
New UTSA Spot Takes Over Noodle Tree
For this campus-area move, Singhs slid into the former Noodle Tree suite on UTSA Boulevard, opening earlier this year and bringing along its familiar soundtrack of R&B and laid-back, counter-service seating. A reviewer with MySA noted that the shrimp at the new outpost are “fried to perfection,” and also listed the address as 7114 UTSA Blvd., Suite 101, as reported by MySA.
From Food Truck To Mini-Chain
Singhs started as a food truck and has steadily grown, expanding its reach while keeping the St. Mary’s Strip spot as the flagship. The team added a North Side cantina last year, rounding out what is starting to look like a small but focused local chain. The San Antonio Current traces the owners’ story back to a 2012 food truck launch and highlights how the group blends Vietnamese technique with Texas ingredients across its growing lineup of locations.
For UTSA students hunting for a quick dinner between classes and St. Mary’s regulars who want more ways to get their fix, the new outpost checks a lot of boxes. Whether it is a $13 shrimp rice bowl or a $12 banh mi, Singhs is now serving up more chances at the same filling, inexpensive meal that built its following in the first place.
