the food here was good! they specialize in northern vietnamese food, which they did well! I was a little confused that their bún chả was "deconstructed" but was open to it and everything tasted so yum

I've already been twice in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to coming back! I've been on the hunt for bun cha and this place might be the go-to in the area. It had huge portions and the pork and sauce and sides were reminiscent, if not, almost as good as you can get in Hanoi. The brisket pho was solid, but the dry noodles were incredibly tasty with the marinated pork, shrimp, garlic, bran sprouts, green onion, and the side of rich broth. We also had the coconut coffee, which was almost as good as having it the first time in Hanoi. For a diverse order, we were surprised to have gotten everything fairly quickly, and it was pretty family friendly.

The food here is great! Love the variety of options, from cute little bánh mì Patê, to xôi Lạp xưởng to pho and bún! Everything was flavorful and delicious. Marble coffee was stronger (less sweet) than coconut coffee. The tables are packed pretty tight together and Parking here is horrible especially with all the construction but definitely worth it!

Delicious! This place is amazing! We came for the first time and booked for a party of ten. They even take reservations. Everything on the menu is wonderful. Almost don't want to review it to keep it my secret. Lots of parking outside and a very clean modern restaurant. Enjoy! Happy Yelping!

Let's get to it. Yum and yum. I stopped by for lunch and tried their phở Bắc đặc biệt & bánh mi que pate. Bánh mi que - try it with or without the lemon grass chili sate on the table! One of my 2 top bánh mi que in the area. The other spot that wins my tastebuds is Trung Nguyên E-Legend's. You've got better ones in mind? Please do share--I'm dying to hear about them! Pho - fresh wide noodles with the perfect softness! Broth well-balanced not as fatty and meat very tender. 10/10 would visit again and again!

SEN Vietnamese Cuisine is a quick and easy spot for Vietnamese noodles to go beyond pho. I really enjoy the mixed and stirred noodle dishes, ready for you to stir and enjoy. I tried the bánh đa trộn khô, and it hit home! The sauce at the bottom was portioned enough to coat the noodles without oversaucing them. The flavors were bold a wonderfully pungent mix that hit all the right notes. The simple, modern decor adds to the comfy experience for casual meals. Easy to get a seat too!

Super tasty pho! I've never tasted such flavorful broth before! It's delicious! The portion is a little small for the price of things, but the quality of the food makes it worth it! The service is great! There's plenty of parking. The entrance is slightly different because there seems to be construction going on, but it's fairly easy to find. I highly recommend trying this place! Amazing quality!

When I think Vietnamese food, I used to only think about banh mi, pho or bun bo hue. But this place really shows you all the other delicious dishes Vietnamese cuisine has to offer! Don't let the outside fool you because the enter strip mall is going through construction. Once you're inside it's actually very pleasant and bustling. We ordered the banh mi pate que, which was so cute and fun to eat as an appetizer (it's much smaller than it appears in pictures), Banh Da Cua Hai Phong (crab soup), Bun Cha Ha Noi (grilled pork and pork patties with vermicellis)-it was perfectly flavored and tender with crispy sides, and the egg rolls which came with a generous amount of veggies. The food came out fast, rarely do we finish dinner without leftovers but this was one of those meals! Definitely need to come back again!

If you ever been craving Bun Cha Ha Noi, which is basically Vietnamese caramelized pork meatball, SEN is a must go to spot to try. This dish originated in Ha Noi and it comes with rice noodles, lots of veggies, and the meatballs drenched in fish sauce. It's a perfect meal for lunch or dinner because it's quite filling. The flavor of the meat is very flavorful, juicy, and tender. It may taste salty, but that's why you incorporate it with the rice and vegetables. Such a good combo. When we were there, it was quite busy. I saw some people eating pho, so I'm assuming the pho here must taste good too. Service was fast and good; nothing special though. Next time I gotta come back to try the pho. Thank you for the bomb food!
