SEN Vietnamese Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
This place always has long lines so o figured it was about time to stop by and check them out. It is a small restaurant kept very clean. The decor is very pretty and inviting. They have a tv on the wall which was playing the Olympics when we went. The service is courteous and relatively quick given how busy they are. The food was pretty good. My husband has the special noodle and was happy. I had the bun cha Ha Noi at $16.99. Love how it was displayed and I could make my own wee bowl. The flavor was this okay. I think I expected more of a traditional fish sauce the sauce reminds me more of a shrimp sauce tho.
Sen Vietnamese Cuisine serves some of the best pho around! The broth is rich and flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and everything hits the spot. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service too. Highly recommend
Chao suon is super authentic here. There are not so many Vietnamese restaurants in California offering this Northern Viet dish. This place definitely nailed it. The seasoning is perfect. The porridge texture is exactly how it's supposed to be, with no trace of rice grain. The staffs were all nice. I saw a bad rating complaining about their unprofessional service and how this place was ran by family. Well, don't you want to support the local mom-and-pop shops? Not everything has to be franchised and corporate owned.
Super authentic here it was really nice! Food and produce is really fresh and the food was high quality. Service was great and our food came out fairly quickly. Would recommend to come here
Love the atmosphere here. The waiters are very efficient and good at customer service. We really enjoy the bánh đa as the broth is very fresh. The miến trộn khô has just enough sauce to make the food delicious and not overly salty. Overall, we’re really satisfied with the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come back!
Portions were good size, the dishes taste good. The big baked Cá Nướng Da Giòn was not as good as at other places. The flesh of the fish was not very taught and fresh. The clam dish was not and the soup was good too.
I came not much expectations for pho. The bung cha Hanoi was why I visited. I saw pho bac here so tried. After months of trying different places for tru pho bac flavor, I found it. The banh mi was really good as well. If you like pho like the north VN, try this place. It’s like Pho Le in Hanoi.
Came as a group of 16. We had called ahead because we had such a large group but the place is a little small so we had to wait about 10 minutes which is not bad. The staff did great getting us seated as soon as possible. We took 1/3 of the eating space. I was amazed at how fast our food order came out considering our large group. The food actually came out for those who ordered first while the staff was still taking down the last of our group orders. The food came out hot and delicious. Their #1 dish, Bun Cha Ha Noi, was a little different from ones I had at other places but still very good. Also tried the #2 dish Banh Da Cua Hai Phong. Was going to eat just a little but it was so good I ate it all. Very good reason why those were #1 and #2 in popularity. Also ordered Hu Tieu Tron SEN Kho but could not eat it. Take home is always an option and still good. Each dish is under $20 so price is very reasonable. I would come back when I visit California again.
