Sen Viet Vegetarian in Hackney

We went in the mid afternoon, it was quiet. No backgound noise, so ideal to have a talk. The food was delectable!, and good value. First time here, hopefully it will not be the last time.

Love Love Love this place. Food is amazing. Fresh and so full of flavour. Service is like you are part of the family. So friendly and attentive. Love the little scenes built into the table. Can't wait to go back.

There are many Vietnamese restaurants nearby and this one was by far the busiest when we came to eat tonight. However, despite the phenomenon food, service was a bit of a let down. We got the distinct feel that our young waitress could not cope, especially when a table of six walked in. We were asked to move (not a problem) but then were next to a very loud table... this would be okay if service was sharp but no one checked our order back, food arrived at vastly different times, despite a reservation no table had been allocated, no one checked how we were finding our food and the waitress lacked the warmth that I've experienced in every other Vietnamese restaurant in abundance. Would revisit but definitely hoping for a much quieter time to go so service improves.

Vietnamese meal features a combination of five fundamental tastes including sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and spicy. @senvietchay serves an amazing Vietnamese vegan meal based on these tastes. WHAT I GOT 🫔Summer rolls 🍆Grilled aubergine 🍛Tofu coconut curry 🍜Special pho 🌱Stir-fried morning glory 🐟Ha Long fried cakes Summer rolls were very refreshing while the grilled aubergine was soft and flavourful. Tofu curry was rich and spicy. The broth of special pho was amazing. It’s sweet & spicy. Yummy😋😋😋 Ha Long fried cake was the champion🏆🏆🏆 It’s actually a vegan deep fried ‘fish’ fillet. You will be surprised with the fishy taste and the texture. Don’t forget the mango and mustard sauce. It perfectly matched with the cake and levelled up the taste. Must try😍😍😍 Follow me on Instagram @ccgyozalover for more delicious food😋😋😋

I am not a vegan but I really enjoyed lunch there. Can’t wait to return. Food was delicious. Staff were friendly. This is a very new restaurant (in the premises of Passorn) and I wish them well.

Fantastic to have an all vegan vietnamese restaurant in Edinburgh. Very good food and staff very helpful. Wine reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning.

Food and service do not come better than Sen Viet. Food so good it's like having a taste of Heaven. If all food was this good, I would already be a vegan. The staff wonderfully friendly and efficient.

Such a treat to find a vegetarian/ vegan restaurant with plenty of dishes to choose from. Staff were so lovely and despite the restaurant being very busy were efficient. We ordered an aubergine tofu dish and a tofu mushroom dish, with morning glory on the side. The food was SO tasty and full of flavour! The dishes were large and we ended up leaving some because we were too full up so next time would probably order one main and a couple of sides. Can’t wait to visit again :)

Absolutely loved our visit to Sen Viet Veggie. We booked in advance and they wrote our name beautifully on a table reservation card. The table is lovely too, with a Vietnamese village scene underneath the glass. We had the starter sharer and every element was absolutely unworldy delicious. My partner has a peanut allergy and they were more than willing to accommodate. They have a really unusual drinks list, so we got to try some different soft drinks like matcha iced tea and JinJin which made the experience feel very authentic. We were as equally impressed by our main meals- I had the caramelised vegan fish and green banana hotpot and it was mouthwatering! There were loads of regulars in the restaurant and we will definitely be back.

A confident five stars from my partner and I. From the outset the staff were lovely and friendly. Each member of staff clearly knows the ingredients in each meal very well and are keen to offer top ups for drinks or other garnishes. On this note, it is worth stressing how remarkably fast the food was served after ordering. As for the food, it blew us away. The Pho and fried noodle dishes were much tastier than what we've had at big chains such as the big Pho restaurant chain. While rich in flavour, it was not overpowering and the spicy dishes added so much to every bite. The portion sizes were quite big and the prices very affordable, with our two mains coming to £18.40. The authentic decor and music contributed a lot to what was overall a very lovely experience. The only detail of constructive criticism we'd make is that it wasn't 100% clear which dishes were vegan and which were vegetarian. But, as said, the staff are very accommodating with further information if you ask.

This place is absolutely fantastic. The food is incredibly delicious and very well-priced, the ambience is lovely, but most notably, the staff are some of the loveliest people you will ever meet. They are so attentive, they bend over backwards to give you perfect service and they really made my visit great. I have been twice, and I will go back again and again!

This place is pretty new, they seem to have opened just as the 2020 lockdown started... However, I was not disappointed! Excellent food, friendly staff and good prices. And apart from a couple of dishes that were vegetarian everything on the menu is vegan! No hidden fish sauce or anything like that. Great meal out, and I will definitely be going back next time I'm in town.

I have eaten at Sen Viet Vegetarian numerous times for both lunch, dinner and takeaway and the experience is always exceptional - Vietnamese food is generally pretty good for vegetarians but Sen Viet Vegetarian is another level. The food is delicious, authentic and incredible value, and although the menu is purely vegetarian (and predominantly vegan) I have taken many meat lovers there and they have loved it as much as me. The staff are always lovely and the prices are excellent - £35 will serve up a feast for two people. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

My friends and I visited Sen Viet and were all very impressed with the food! It was absolutely delicious! As a vegan, it was great to see so many menu options. The food was fresh and very tasty. The service was friendly and provided us with a great experience.
