SEN Vietnamese Cuisine

You know the restaurant has to be good when servers constantly ignoring you. Though the service wasn't amazing, they made up for it with their geat food. I haven't eaten enough Vietnamese restaurants in OC to say this is one of the best Vietnamese spots in OC, but as a foodie and someone who has been to Vietnam few times before, I'd say the food is pretty darn amazing.

My husband enjoyed the Pho Tai. He said that the broth was flavorful with a good portion of beef that is tender. He ate the whole bowl. They give you the side of bean sprouts, basil, ngo gai, lime and jalapeno slices. He liked this pho better than the new place called pho flavor

The Banh Da Cua Hai Phong was very delicious and I ate the whole bowl. I loved the scent and taste of the roasted onion, and it was the broth very flavorful. I ate the whole bowl and must've drank half of the bowl.

The Cha Nem has a nice crunch and is not dense inside. The dipping fish sauce is a nice addition but not needed because the Cha nem is already salty enough even when you wrap it in the vegetables.

The Bun Cha Ha Noi is also very delicious with the sauce that it's in. Mixed all of the noodles and vegetables in, then ate it. The meats were seasoned well with good flavor and saltiness.

The coconut coffee was decent. I did not taste much coconut. I got this drink free by writing a Yelp review.

I would recommend this restaurant, and come back again to try other dishes.

The food was very authentic and delicious. It seems to be a popular place but I only had to wait about 5 minutes. I arrived on a Saturday at noon. The noodles were freshly made. There's also a vegan section on the menu so I felt very accommodated.

Our family dined in for lunch and the wait was not too bad. We were seated in roughly 5-10 minutes. The staffs were pleasant to deal with, giving us time to get situated and look at the menu. They were also following up during our meal too.

The food were colorful and the aroma were wonderful. We ordered pho, hu tieu, banh da, and the mini baguette. Overall, we thought the foods were good. The ingredients used were high quality but felt the seasoning was on the lighter side. I had to put in extra fish sauce to make it better (this may be subjective depending on taste buds).

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.
