Both of the waitresses were extremely friendly, helpful and attentive. The summer rolls were absolutely delicious and the main courses were good as well. Maybe the stir fry could be a bit more seasoned…
Overall it was a great experience and one of our most satisfying restaurant-visits in Edinburgh!
Pictured: duck curry, then chilli chicken, then tamarind sticky tofu.
Absolutely sensational food. Staff were incredibly accommodating even on a busy evening attending to our needs, the food was delicious, aromatic and rich flavours. Would come back again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a lovely evening!
Small restaurant, with friendly and helpful staff. Amazing food selection and it is top notch dining. Absolutely recommend.
Professional service and sublime dishes. Portions were big. Vietnamese beer delicious, as was the Chenin Blanc. Sea bass to die for. One of the best dishes I've ever tasted. Cannot fault this place. Beautifully decorated. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.
Absolutely incredible! Could not recommend this place enough. We got the Tofu and rolls to start and then had the Lantern Duck Curry and the Sea-bass. All of the food was incredible. They also had a completely vegetarian/vegan menu and a fully GF too. If your in Edinburgh and after Vietnamese food this is the place to go.
The food here exceeded my expectation. Even not 100% authentically Vietnamese, it was simply delicious.
We had the salt and pepper squid as starter, liked the crispy coating and the squid was fresh. The vermicelli salad bowl was complimented by fried spring rolls and grilled pork, with the mouth-watering peanut sauce and Nuoc Cham dressing and the overall combination was great and flavourful. The duck curry was also nice, with tender meat complimented with taro, potato and lotus root in the right Southeast Asian curry sauce (which is not as thick as the Indian and Japanese ones). Friendly staff and the portions were generous as well.
Our waitress was lovely! Very friendly and smiley.
My plate was really good, I have no complaints about the taste, but the portion size was a bit small, especially compared to the same plate from other Vietnamese restaurants.
My friend’s plate tasted really good too, but it was too salty.
Overall really enjoyable, the tofu really tasted like meat, I would have totally believed it was chicken or fish.
Drip coffee was good, but maybe some experimentation to find the best milk brand for thickness and texture is required.
Very likely to come back again.
We loved this Vietnamese Restaurant, food was amazing atmosphere was really relaxed and the service was very attentive, we visited on a recommendation and we are so glad we did, the food was cooked from fresh and tasted delicious, the service was prompt and the waiting staff couldn't do enough to make us feel comfortable, I would highly recommend a visit to Sen wether your visiting as a tourist or a local looking for an authentic Vietnamese dinning experience 👏
Fantastic food, wonderful service, friendly waitresses who took their time to explain (and show!) food preparation. I could have chosen any of the dishes on the menu. The six we had were all amazing. Loved the green tea with jasmine and pandan leaves (I believe), too. It's a small restaurant, you absolutely need to book a table. Overall, a wonderful experience, an explosion of flavors!
Genuinely the most delicious bowl of noodles we've had in years. We saw the pho on the menu and just had to try it! Super friendly family owned restaurant—just remember to reserve a table otherwise you might not get one of the six tables available!
Thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at SEN. The staff were lovely and very hospitable. It was my first time trying Vietnamese food and I am now definitely a fan. Myself and the rest of my party all thought the food was incredible. I had the chicken nest to start then the duck curry for my main, and was so stuffed I couldn't even manage dessert. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anybody.
Really pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. The food was really good, I had the seabass which was lovely in the sauce and very well presented. For dessert I had the Panna cotta which was not very sweet but really nice.
Came for a pre-theatre sat night dinner, we'd made a reservation as the restaurant is pretty small and there was a constant turnover of diners coming in. We were seated by the efficient and friendly staff, given menus and our drinks order was taken.
The summer rolls were lovely, fresh and zingy with mint, the fishcakes miles from the usual western version with mash potato but tasty and with a gorgeous mango salsa (that went amazingly with the summer rolls too!)
The mains were equally as pleasant, the shaking beef was lovely and the crispy sea bass also perfectly cooked altho slightly sweeter than we had expected.
Overall a very enjoyable meal and look forward to going back to try something new 😀
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Excellent authentic Vietnamese food restaurant in Britain (yea! It also much better than many others Vietnamese restaurants in London!) Great food quality, great service and many food ingredients are come from Vietnam 🇻🇳! It is a good place to try if you want to taste a really Vietnam flavour not just like street food. A little higher price in Edinburgh but same price level like in London! Saigon Iced Coffee is gorgeous even if it still cold outside.
Very nice little restaurant with good food and amazing service. Pretty full at times - i recommend making a reservation. Food was amazing and not too big portions nor too small. Perfect for a datenight or bigger groups if you enjoy freshly made authentic vietnamese cooking.
Really great location, nice interior, delicious food. Vermicelli salad bowl with pork was brilliant.
A cosy little restaurant with fantastic food and great service!
They have a separate vegan menu with several starters, mains and some nibbles. Everything we tried was packed with flavour!
Authentic Vietnamese restaurant. As soon as I walked in, the smell reminded me of when I was in Vietnam. The food was amazing and full of flavour. Great decor too. Just a small restaurant with about 10 tables, so advised to book in advance. Great menu options, and also had a vegan menu. Lovely staff and the service was great
