Senviet Vegan in Edinburgh, City of

The food was lovely and service super friendly!

My favourite Asian restaurant in the entire of Scotland to be honest! This isn’t my first visit and I feel like an arse for not sharing this place earlier because I wanted it all to myself and my pals lol 😅🙃 Not only is it vegan and has all my favourite ingredients (okay that’s a bias but) every single dish I’ve tasted has been spot on delicious, with fresh, amazing produce, and authentic (which I have missed as I used to visit Vietnam). Being vegan, creating a select and concise menu was crucial out of Viet cuisine, especially if much of it isn’t traditionally vegan, and I think a sign of a successful restaurant is knowing the perfect ones to pick while pushing boundaries to appeal to vegans (eg. No-fish cakes). The ambiance is comfortable, beautifully decorated and is a great place to catch up with friends over yummy food. The lady who served us yesterday was so friendly and was kind enough to reassure us not to rush (me being aware of their noon closing times). I really enjoyed our banter too, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. The portions are perfect and reasonably priced especially considering the quality. If you’re a foodie, this is a must visit; and if you’re vegan, this is possibly one of the most versatile and tastiest places for Asian food, and a chance to taste a spot on vegan (no-fish)cake. 🤤🤤🤤 ps. The coffee 😍 P.ps. Viet food is traditionally one of the spiciest in the continent (compared to Thai, Cambodian, Indian - I think there’s more fresh/raw chillis involved) so I expected a little more heat in general

Was there for the first time yesterday and both me and my partner were blown away by Sen Viet Vegan. The restaurant is smaller than it looks but still has plenty of spaces. The service staff was lovely and very welcoming. And the food was absolutely beautiful. Especially the Ha Long fried cakes were brilliant. Would 100% recommend it to anyone but especially vegan as everything is vegan on the menu so you don't have to worry about the ingredients other than for allergen reasons.

Beautiful food and fantastic and very fast service. Really enjoyed our meal one of the best Asian vegan meals I've had in a long time. The service was very very quick and polite yet not rushed. Only criticism is that it's cash only when we visited.

We had a delicious lunch at Sen Viet yesterday! I always love finding good vegan options in large cities- especially when you have more than one thing on the menu to choose from! The Vietnamese iced coffees were AMAZINGly sweet and creamy. We started with the veggie spring rolls which were delicious, and then we ate the Coconut Curry w/ tofu and the vegetable stir fry with flat rice noodles and tofu. Both of which were very delicious, flavorful, and rich! The service was very attentive and kind, and the prices were reasonable as well. We sat at a lovely table by the window, which was great for people watching. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would recommend it to anyone in the area!

The food was very tasty and the staff welcoming. More vegan places like this please.

The food and the service was amazing. Highly recommend!

The food was really good. The starters were divine. The staff is super friendly. I had a marvelous time.

absolute wonderful food there！must have a try🤗

Fantastic vegan food , very tasty dishes and interesting flavours, great family restaurant .

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend trying this place!

Delicious vegan meals - in particular the crispy pancakes and the sizzling tofu and mushroom dish. Friendly and attentive service. Definitely recommend

Very delicious vegan food and very friendly service! Absolutely recommended!

Lovely Vietnamese restaurant serving a full vegan menu! We came here for an anniversary meal and it did not disappoint. Really tasty food, great selection on the menu and the plant protein was one of the nicest I've tried - definitely recommended!

What a wonderful place! Amazing vegan food and amazing Vietnamese food. If you live in Edinburgh or are travelling through, you should definitely visit this restaurant!

The food was great and they let us in even thought they were closed after lunch. The waiter was polite and accommodating. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Can’t comment on the atmosphere as we were the only ones in the restaurant.

We went on 5/11 and ordered two meals we'd never tried before, the Ha noi caramel and banana and the caramel and kohlrabi. We also had the salt chill pepper mushrooms, sesame coconut crackers and salad, along with fried ice cream and mango spring rolls. Everything was out quick, was hot, fresh and full of flavour. Really impressed with everything, the restaurant was lovely and the two staff were great, friendly and attentive. Loved it.

Great food. We wanted a spicy exotic soup and we were abundantly satisfied at an adequate price.

Fantastic food, love this spot enough to make it a chill night out for our wedding anniversary. The flavours and ingredients always have me intrigued, lot of lovely stuff I have never eaten before and I am a pretty adventurous diner! My favourite is the banana stir fry and vegan fish cakes!

We loved this place. It was a good discovery in Edimburg for vegans. We want it to go for a second time on Friday 27 but it wasn't open at 12pm as they said. We recommend pankakes and fried ice cream (AMAZING)

Amazing food and service, delighted to have another "vegan only" restaurant, saves asking the wait staff about everything on the menu and them running backwards and forwards to the kitchen. I had the pho and my partner had the yellow curry...both excellent. Beware the chilli oil though !!!

Having lived in Vietnam for a number of years and recently trying to become vegan I was very curious to try Sen Viet. It did not disappoint. It had the familiarity of great Vietnamese dishes without compromising on taste. Some great takes on Vietnamese classics along with great version of classic vegetarian staple dishes. The tofu with tomato sauce dau pu sot ca chua is particularly amazing and one I have not been able to find so good elsewhere. A real treat for vegans or general lovers of vietnamese cuisine. Cam on Chef Duong and team.

Amazing food! The waiter, Connor, was unbelievably attentive and helpful. Highly recommend.

Lots of vegan options on the menu. Very hearty and filling. One of the best vegan meals I have had in Edinburgh! English version: The “Sen Viet Vegan Restaurant” has a large selection of vegan dishes. My dish was very hearty, flavorful and completely satisfying. Actually the best vegan food in all of Edinburgh!

Service and food was excellent.

The food was really nice!! I feel the menu could use better descriptions of the food. And there were a couple of mistakes in our order, which was fine for us but could be an issue if you have allergies! Looking forward to going back and trying more dishes!

Best vegan restaurant in Edinburgh. Loved this place and have kept coming back since!

The food was good and authentic. We ate the baked eggplant and yellow curry. Highly recommended. However, the service was very slow. For example, we had to wait 45 minutes for our drinks - despite repeated requests! This continued until we paid the bill, which we finally settled at the bar.

Had the perfect meal here, amazing service and yummy food. Thank you so much! ❤️

Excellent restaurant. Everything we tried was wonderful. Their credit card reader was out of service, so we had to go get cash from a near by ATM. But it was worth that little extra effort. The food was delicious and healthy. I wish there were more such places where I live.

Serenity oozes out of the fabric of the place. Great food

The food was amazing 🤩🤩 It was a little dead when we went for lunch, but the food service was quick and the caramel gravy is to die for!!

We tried some take-away vegan banh mi that were delicious !

Excellent completely vegan food. The staff are very helpful, service was quick. This is a must for vegans in Edinburgh.

Delicious veggie Vietnamese food and friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious! I had crispy tofu rolls, came with a gorgeous peanut dip (possibly with wasabi mixed in) Pink Prwn Crackers, Lemongrass and Chilli tofu with noodles and a Vietnamese coffee. Utter taste sensation!

It was lovely for a vegan meal after touring the city. The atmosphere wasn’t anything special but the food was good!

Lovely authentic viet food with vegan versions of dishes that I haven’t seen anywhere else! Shoutout Elliot for being super sweet and accommodating, hopefully will be returning soon…

Very pleasant waiter and good food, we enjoyed our visit

Staff were nice enough, but honestly very underwhelming. There's almost no atmosphere and food took over 45 minutes to cook, so had to get it bagged to take away. Pretty average food given the very high prices. Won't be back

This Place is amazing, the food is incredible!!!! Must have!!

Loved this place, the guy that served us was really nice and smiley ☺️, and even apologised for us waiting for our main which wasn't that long of a wait. The food was great also.

Absolutely delicious food every time, have not chosen wrong yet. Strongly recommend! Great place to take non-vegan friends, food is banging :D

100% BEST TOFU I HAD EVER. the food melted in my mouth. I was so full afterwards I couldn’t have dinner, I recommend it to everyone, even if you’re not vegan yourself (I’m not) give this place a try, you won’t regret it.

Best Vietnamese vegetarian place in Edinburgh!

Absolutely loved our food here! Not a single thing to complain about!

very authentic and delicious Vietnamese food. The food felt homemade. Service was a bit slow but overall had a great experience

Delicious, well-priced, great service, thank you!

The food is amazing , super tasty! Ask the waiter, he’ll give the best advice! 200% recommend eating here!

I travelled alone to Edinburgh and was looking for a nice place for dinner on a bustling Saturday evening. After being turned away by several restaurants (as they wanted to save their space for larger groups of customers), my final attempt was at Sen Viet Vegan, where I received a warm welcome. Opting for the Bun Hue—a spicy noodle soup—I was thoroughly impressed by its rich and savoury broth. Beyond the exceptional cuisine, the owner, Mr. Hien, and the staff were notably friendly and attentive. This establishment has earned my wholehearted recommendation to friends, and it is on my must-visit list for my next trip to Edinburgh.

Amazing people and amazing food!! The best vegan restaurant I have tried in Edinburgh

We had an excellent experience and fantastic food. The food and service are beyond fantastic. We would love to come back again as well as introducing our friends .

One of a kind vietnamese food that is vegan. Excellent taste and good service.

The braised tofu dish was terrible

Great food and a good spot to try something new

First time Vietnamese. It was delicious all Vegan menu. Will definitely be back. Had new addition to the menu.

Having lived in Asia, I’m really particular with Vietnamese food, and the food is amazing here super authentic. I’m not a vegan but this spot will delight everyone! The drip coffee with coconut condensed milk was ☕️👌🏽 if you want some heat try the bun hue, loved how fresh all the veg was! 🍜

Amazing tasting food. I'm glad we took the risk in trying something new. It was hard to pick from all the good options on the menu.

super delicious! i wanted banh mi bc i saw a sign talking abt a banh mi deal on the window but then couldn’t find any on the menu….but all was well because i got the banh xeo and it was absolutely delicious!!

All vegan Vietnamese. We had the pho, banh xeo, and the stir fried noodles with tofu and veggies. Good sized portions, everything tasted great. The banh xeo was super crispy (more than I’ve had in the past) but it’s a great texture contrast to the lettuce, tofu and veggies. Recommend.

Fabulous food and fantastic friendly welcoming service. I am half Vietnamese and the food was truly authentic. Very happy to be able to have the taste of my childhood but vegan. I recommend highly

Our waiter was so sweet, friendly, and attentive. The food was PHENOMENAL. The salted chili peppered tofu was out of this world. The crispy pancake was great. And the spicy noodle soup was very tasty and had a great level of spice! I also really enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee! Can’t recommend this place enough!

The food was amazing and the people are super friendly! Really recommend that dish with mushrooms and tofu, very delicious!

Absolutely fantastic place for some Vietnamese food! The food was unreal and the service was quick, highly recommend it

The staff were very friendly and respectful. The food was increadible and the atmosphere lively yet welcoming to even my sensory challenges.

Really tasty but expensive for vegan food!!

Amazing pho, so tasty! Just loved it 😍

I'm beyond infuriated with the utter lack of consideration and competence displayed by your establishment. It's utterly absurd that you would accept delivery orders, only to abruptly cancel them because you suddenly decide to close. If your closing time is 22:00, then it's simply foolish to accept orders at 21:30, leaving customers waiting for over half an hour before dashing their hopes. This level of disregard for your patrons' time and trust is nothing short of outrageous. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Really nice, authentic, comforting and fresh food!

Really good vegan food! absolutely amazing spring rolls and the "meat" was fantastic!!! Really cheap food and was really filling for what you get. However there was... no atmosphere at all when me and a friend went. We went around 4:30pm on a Saturday and it was really quiet which worked for us, but there was no music and the serving staff kept running in and out of the shop and had their jackets on the whole time and we waited a long time to get the check. I'd probably go for take out instead as I LOVED the food

Great tasting healthy food for good price and really friendly service! Would definitely be back :)

food was insane, highly recommend.

Super chill vibe and amazing food, definitely will be back 👌🙏

Overall - delicious Summer rolls - spectacular Papaya salad - refreshing Special pancake - a treat! Spicy soup - warming and flavorful Special fried rice - delightful Coconut - melt in the mouth Zero cruelty, all flavor Lovely waiter 😗

We ordered two starters and two desserts. One appetizer, the fried mushrooms, was a bit spicy but you can still eat it. The menu also says oyster mushrooms but we only got mushrooms. For main courses we ordered two noodle soups. The spicy noodle soup was so very spicy that I couldn't eat it. I had to give back. Although I had asked the waiter beforehand if it was very spicy. He said the soup was just normal spicy. But it wasn't normally spicy at all. We got diarrhea afterwards because of the spiciness. In the restaurant you could only pay in cash, which I find really stupid for tourists. You can pay by card everywhere in Scotland, so I didn't bring any cash with me. I had to withdraw cash from the ATM, where I had to pay an extra €5 for the withdrawal fee. Unfortunately I can't recommend it

An absolute must for vegan food, especially banana dishes and fried coconut ice cream. Truly special, and very kind as well.

The sharing starter was so delicious! And the 4 of all had different amazing mains. The service was wonderful - I couldn't decide what to eat and his suggestion was perfect for me! Would definitely go again and will definitely recommend to everyone I know who is visiting Edinburgh!

One of the best vegan Vietnamese restaurants I’ve ever been too, every dish we had was amazing so much flavour and thought gone into them. Pho was amazing, shared platter incredible, chatting to Connor about the restaurant after and hearing him speak so passionately about it- just wonderful! Was with a meat eater and they also loved it, you really don’t miss out on anything here!!! Thank you for a wonderful meal!!

This place is incredible! Everything my wife and I ordered had so much flavor. This place has plenty of vegan options and you can adjust the spice level to your liking. The owner and staff were also friendly.

I went mid week and as a solo diner. The food was delicious, lots of options, good recommendations from the waiter. Portions are generous, food arrived hot and freshly cooked and service attentive even when the waiter could see I was near the end of my book and left me to it until I finished.

Amazing food, delicious and portions were generous. Reasonably priced and service was friendly. Would love to go again.

Totally top notch. New to being vegan and here you will not miss meats at all! We’ve been twice in one week… and every dish is full of flavour and really filling, a mix of veggies, nuts, tofu and I think seitan. Food was also really quick to arrive and service was friendly. £12-15 for a really big main course so very reasonable!!

Ordered the sizzling mushroom. Incredible sauce and delectable tofu. Would absolutely recommend

I've been here twice now and it is my new favourite vegan restaurant in Edinburgh. Every dish I had was delicious and the place has a nice cosy atmosphere.

What a place amazing vegan Vietnamese food, soo yummy fresh great balance of flavours , really do recommend going here for vegan food , the crispy pancake is award winning craving it as I speak , portion size are generous, spring roll delicious, and their fried cakes are soo delicious like fish but it’s not definitely worth a try !!

This spicy bowl was so delicious

AMAZING. Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for something filling and delicious! The portion sizes were decently large, and the environment is very cozy.

Comida buenísima y bien de precio. Recomendado al 100% si te gusta la comida vietnamita.

Wow. This food brought us back to life. It was delicious and very flavorful. Service was timely and the boss was even involved in making sure we were happy. Easily would recommend to everyone

Incredibly well thought out and delivered vegan Vietnamese food! Went to Sen Viet Vegan on Boxing Day for lunch and I was amazed by the quality of the food and service. I didn’t expect to find better vegan viet food than I’ve had in London and Hanoi. The filled crispy pancake dish and spicy noodle soup were highlights, and would very much recommend. One of the owners and chefs Connor was very welcoming, and the vibe was very unassuming and relaxed. I expect this place to be one of the vegan mainstays in Edinburgh, or at least I hope so! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I've never been to such a great Vietnamese vegan restaurant. If not the indication that the food is vegan, I would never guess that everything is plant-based. Fresh, full of flavor, and lovely service. Definitely will come back again!

Flavoursome food and friendly service, I'll be back.

The best vegan restaurant I’ve had in Edinburgh. Amazing food, super nice staff and service. We had a toddler with us and they made some special fried rice for my baby that’s not even on the menu. Thank you! I will definitely come back!!!

First time visit and very impressed. Food is delicious and portions are generous. Plenty of choice and as a non vegan I can honestly say that I didn't even notice there wasn't anything made of meat. Everything we had tasted great but I've got to say the mushroom starter was my favourite. Will definitely be back

My partner and I absolutely loved the food. The portions were really big for the price and the staff was very friendly! I think this might just be our new favourite!

Food was so tasty, fresh and full of flavour. Service was great, and food came out very quickly. Portions are large. Would highly recommend.

I had a very nice vegan meal at this restaurant- really great papaya salad! Very good and quick service- the only thing I was not mad about was the choice of music playing - but I am picky about that..!

Friendly and informal vegan dining near Edinburgh's Tollcross; great value and delicious menu options, drawing from different traditions in Vietnamese cooking. I found the style of music annoying but then I'm of an older age group 🙂 It's important to support these small independents so try it out!

Went here for lunch after reading such great reviews and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious!
