I truly love the Food. Have not been there since they went take out only. I love to go to a restaurant and sit down. I wish they would serve again. read more

1st time here, felt like a gambled, but was satisfied with spicy lemongrass soup. It comes with meatballs, beef shank, tofu and shrimp, served with rice vermicelli. Loved it! Also, ordered chicken dumplings, and over all , I was happy and satisfied that I've found a new place to eat but you can only order to go. read more

I love this place for take out. I always get the spicy tofu noodle bowl. It's SO tasty and filling. The man who walks the food out during the day is so friendly too. read more

I placed an order over the phone for two of the noodle plates, one being beef and the other being pork. The food was amazing. Being Vietnamese and not liking bean sprouts, it was refreshing to hear that Lai Sinh does not use bean sprouts in their vermicelli plates. The only thing I will deduct one star from is the difficulty of ordering. It's not so much that it's hard to order when you can reach the restaurant. It's more so the difficulty of reaching the restaurant in general. There will be days in which the hours state it is open, but when I call to place an order, the phone would not be answered. And then when I pop by the store, no one is there. Bottom line is: the Vietnamese food here is superb! However, it can be difficult to reach the restaurant to place an order. I expect that this may have been a fluke, but there were multiple days where I could not reach them. If you can stop by and/or reach them to place an order, DO IT! Food is great! read more

Small out of the way restaurant with temporary curbside only. Not much to look at, HOWEVER THE FOOD IS AMAZING! We got two rice bowls and a vermicelli bowl. The pork was my absolute favorite, perfectly seasoned and grilled. Chicken was juicy and tender. Beef was also pretty good. But the eggroll that came with the vermicelli was one of my fav parts. The owners were very kind. We will be coming back alot. read more

Their food is always amazing, I get their lemongrass chicken or their vermicelli grilled pork. Absolutely delicious and flavorful every time. The owners are friendly and quick to bring your order. I could not say enough good things about them. read more

Just moved to this side of SA! I'm looking for my go to spots in the area. Food is so good! Service is quick. They're only take out right now but very responsive and food is already ready by the time you get there! Basically in and out with no wait time in between. We ordered once then went back the next day for more The Pho is really flavorful and savory (we got the meatball pho and the seafood or shrimp pho), the vermicelli bowl is good too!! Tried out the seaweed rolls and it's basically a vermicelli bowl wrapped in rice paper which I loved! Found our new fav Viet place on this side of SA! read more

I wouldn't have noticed this place if my kids weren't studying Tae Kwon Do at the dojo in the same shopping center, but I am super glad I did. Every dish I've had from this place is spot-on. The pho is delicious. Every one of their fried rice dishes are perfect and plentiful. The grilled pork with vermicelli is amazing. Even the non-vietnamese items like the shumai and beef and broccoli are out of this world. They're fast, courteous, and accurate. 5 or 6 orders from them since I moved to Universal City and they have never taken longer than they quoted and the entire order has always been correct. Good Asian food is not as ubiquitous in SA as it is in other parts of the country, but Lai Sinh hits the mark.. Extra props to them for clearly communicating supply chain issues on their website and letting customers know what's available and what's not. read more

Great customer service, great food, overall a great place!!! The owner is such a sweet person, and is very good at remembering what people order . read more

5 July- they only have take out. Be aware and call ahead. Drove all the way here to enjoy some good food, but we're left disappointed.

If you can make your way over to this side of town, you'll find some flavorful food cooked and packaged with care. The noodles were quite good! read more

Craving something spicy (Amateur level) Crunchy, Savory, Sweet , Sour and Large enough to share Get this soup and don't look back. Take out only & 10min from my home when it arrived i transferred to a proper pot and it stayed H O T then warm til my last few bites. I ate every bit of this soup and it's safe to say this baby i'm growing and i will be back for more. read more

Lai Sinh Cuisine - Spicy Lemongrass (Shrimp) Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Converse, Texas

The only place I am ordering my Vietnamese food from lately! Delicious gem I am so happy I found.

I've been driving by this place for years. Today I finally stopped by and picked up dinner. Everything is curbside only. I didn't know but I did ring the door bell. You can order online to make pick up easier. Today I ordered their Grilled Beef Vermicelli, fresh spring rolls and shumai. Oh wow. Everything was excellent. My family enjoyed everything and stated they would like to come back again. Everything we ordered was freshly made and tasty. The carrot and daikon pickles were so good and perfectly matched with the food. Stars 1 star for service 1 star for food 1 star for curbside pick up 1 star for overall experience 1 star for online ordering ease read more

Oh boy, I lucked out in finding this place 2 days ago! At the moment it's take out or delivery only. I was wonderfully surprised with the quality of the food. The Beef Pho was excellent with the most tender beef. The Lemon pork vermicelli bowl was sublime and so was the steamed Shimai. The grind on the Shumai is a little coarse so there was a bit of fat in a few of these dumplings. I'm actually on my way over there now for the Lemon Chicken vermicelli bowl! Go now!!! read more

I love this food! The people are amazing too!!! I love that they take their time and explained everything on the menu.

This is now my 8th place in San Antonio to try Pho. The broth was tasty & left a good taste after eating. I had the shank pho. I wish more places offered tendon pho, as it's my favourite. The portion was quite big, but it is my only meal for the day, so I devoured it. Everything was fresh & delicious. I'll be back. The gentleman running the place was very helpful & friendly. The only drawback, is if you don't know it's there, you'll drive by. So, slow down & head on in. This place is small, quaint & intimate in size. I think about 6-8 tables total. So, if it's full, get it to go! You won't be sorry. Great cooks. I'll be back. Yummy! I've got my eye on another soup for my next visit. read more

They have such good pho. The bbq pork and beef pho. I add shrimp as well. I get it delivered and they have excellent portion sizes

Great food, quick curbside service. Friendly staff! I would recommend to anyone who wants good food to go!

Oh me, oh my. Have I found a gem. I was beginning to get skeptical that I would ever find Asian food that was good like home. (Not to offend, but I've learned that different states have different palettes lo). I've scoured through the SA foodies pages and heard all about where everyone thought their favorite pho restaurant was, only to be disappointed. So naturally, when I read the reviews for Lai Sinh, I was still skeptical. During COVID, based on their google information, they are not doing dine-in, so I ordered delivery from UberEats. I mean; it took a little over an hour to get my food (the drive is only 15 minutes from my house) so I was getting hangry. The food was finally delivered, the broth reheated, the noodles placed in my asian bowl, condiments added, and there it was. The grilled beef pho. The most recommended dish on their Yelp page. How was it, you asked? Am I building up the anticipation yet? To put it subtly, it was honestly, the best pho I've ever had. I'm from California, in one of the most diverse cities in the entire United States. This pho was so unique. I can't categorize it as "authentic" because it was so different but only in the best ways. The grilled beef, though it was placed in the broth in my to-go order, had left a sweet note, almost caramelized taste in the broth. They used shredded cabbage instead of bean sprouts. (Though it didn't take away from the taste at all). The noodles were perfect, not soggy at all from the drive. It was so perfectly seasoned. In most pho restaurants, the broth is a plain canvas and you add your flavors with the condiments, but this was perfect. I needn't add anything. It was perfect. Also, their meat portions were VERY generous. One last praise: they had CHILI OIL! Without me having to ask!!! Like, that's the best thing ever! And it was SPICY! Not overall spicy, but just enough. I've noticed that in SA, they don't offer the normal gambit of condiments that I'm used to from California, but they had it all. Anyways, try it out. If you don't love it, feel free to take my "Yelp Elite" from me. I know I praised this place a lot, but I'm not being paid off or anything lol. I don't even know who the owners are or how the place looks! I'll be sure to take pictures of the food next time. Though, I'd love to meet them (: (I wish they had appetizers on their Uber menu. That would've been AWESOME) read more

You can tell when a business owner puts lots of care and attention into their food and establishment. Great quality, delicious tasting food. Try their refreshing jasmine tea it is so good! I wasn't too crazy about the fried tempura because it was overly cooked and you couldn't really taste the shrimp because it was crispy hard. I'll need to return to try their Pho because a person in my party said it was amazing tasting and they also give cabbage topping true-to authentic Vietnamese style pho. The server was attentive and nice, The drawback is I wouldn't be able to visit as much as I'd like due to the higher prices. I don't mind paying extra for quality though. I definitely cannot wait to come back! read more

If I had to choose a place for Pho, this place would be it! It's always fresh, comforting, and just delicious.

I love this place, Hands down the best Vietnamese food in town. Every time I go here the owner is so nice and welcoming and they're always clean. The food is amazing, it's the best Authentic Vietnamese food for a cheap price you can get around here. I fell in love with their pho and Vermicelli combo with pork and beef, it's amazingly delicious. The Portions are large, and they always give you a lot of meat, unlike other places who give you 3 pieces. Spring rolls are a hit and my favorite also, basically everything they make is delicious. Thank you for making good food that taste like home. It's hard to find good Vietnamese restaurants who cares about their customers. read more

I love the Phō here and the owner/operators are fantastic and polite! If your looking for a local place that has , this is it!

This place is a gem for myself and my husband. Not a lot of restaurant choices in converse and we get tired driving far to stone oak where all the great Asian food is. Coming from the east and west coast, we've missed great Vietnamese restaurants here in San Antonio. A lot of highly reviewed places for us have been mediocre. But so far, Lai Sinh is our go to place. The pho is always delicious, clean tasting and the quality remains the same when you order to go. They do it right and I would treasure this place. read more

Best Pho In Town! I have had Vietnamese food all over this city for years, but the broth here, top notch.

Server did not have a clue what VN egg rolls were. Asked me, "on wheat or egg roll dough"... i dhould have left then. Asked for 3 waters with lemon... out of lemon. Asked for beef/chicken vermicelli... were out.... Ordered chicken fried rice, 2 grilled beef vermicelli. Fried rice had no seasoning And rice a little crunchy... vermicelli was Bun Bowls... no seasoning except for fish sauce we poured on. Service.... came back when we were done as he played on his cell entire visit, had to ask for ticket. If you like signs, heres your place... dining room, rest rooms... clean as you go for next guest, dont tAke fotos, dont do this etc etc 38$ for 3 seemed high with water and very BAD service. Dont waste your time here. Nice web site but bad service snd ugh food. Update... i have my credit card receipt... since you made a "report", i will file false statement to a peace officer, terroristic threats and conspiracy to abduct three people... have a great day!!! read more

Tried the beef fried rice and wow! So delicious, I did not expect it to be so savory. The meat was cooked just right and had plenty of flavor. Also got the rice lemongrass chicken which was pretty good. Definitely preferred the steamed rice. Would like to give the pho or vermicelli dish a try next time. My order was ready on time and the guy was walking out as soon as I parked and very friendly. Hope to see dine-in in the near future but their curbside was an easy and fast experience. read more

fresh vietnamese food, super fast and yummy! Love the fresh rolls, dumplins, vermiceli and great variety of dishes read more

I meant to just write a tip about my to-go order yesterday mentioning that, as I waited, I noticed the other customers weren't talking to each other because their faces were buried deep in their bowls, happily slurping away. A good sign. OMIGOSH. YES. Their food was so delicious, our family decided that we had to come back and dine-in again tonight. This little gem of a Vietnamese restaurant is what we've been hoping for in our area! It hits the spot!! Flavorful, awesome Vietnamese food made from fresh, healthy ingredients and no MSG. Warm and friendly customer service. Clean. They're working on adding bubble tea and bahn mi sandwiches to the menu, too. We will most definitely be back! read more
