Vegan Thai Place

This place was great - Yummy food, fast service and good portion sizes. It was really nice to try an authentic Thai place which was entirely vegan.

The sweet chili sauce with the crackers was amazing!

Staff very friendly, attentive and helpful too!

Pros: Authentic Thai Cuisine, Super Fast Service, Friendly Staff

Cons: Plant Protein pieces were very large in the main!

Food was alright

I’m sure someone would eat what we ate and give it 5 stars, but for us it was just okay. The exception being the fried cakes, which were reallllly good!!

Good Vietnamese food

There were a lot of choices on the menu. The food was fresh. I particularly liked the sharing appetiser plate with a bit of everything. Personally, I felt the main dishes we ordered were too salty. However, still a good experience overall with food and service.

Delish!

Really tasty, varied menu - spicy, mild, noodle & rice dishes. Including a nice range of desserts. I would say for better ambience some music would be good.

Pros: All Vegan

Cons: No music

Sen Viet Vegan

A small restaurant tucked away down a side street. I've never had Vietnamese food before so I was excited to try it.
I had the tofu coconut curry which came with rice or noodles (I had rice) and the bowl the curry came on was so hot the curry was still bubbling so you know its fresh. It had big pieces of veg and delicious tofu which was firm on the outside and soft in the middle not unlike the texture of Inari sushi pockets if you've had those. The sauce was creamy and not too spicy, and the veg was soft. Would definitely recommend.
My friend ordered fried rice and it came wrapped in a giant leaf which I thought was a nice touch.
The server was a bit rigid and quiet, but I think she was just shy
I would recommend this place if you ever fancy something a bit different

Pros: Lots of choice, All vegan

Tasty but pricey

Went for lunch and tried starters and mains. It was delicious and all vegan so could try anything! Was quite expensive even with 15% discount.

Pros: Delicious food , Easy to get a table at lunch

Cons: Expensive , Don’t take card payment

Divine food

Great and delicious Vietnamese with a vast menu full of all-vegan options, both familiar friends and new finds. Great service as a cherry on top. The only minus we could find was the acoustics as the space got very loud with more people arriving as the evening went along. Overall a special addition to the Edinburgh vegan restaurant scene.

An innovative addition to Edinburgh’s vegan quarter

Sen Viet Vegan is a really innovative addition to what is becoming Edinburgh’s vegan quarter, Tollcross. So far I have been four times, and am working my way through the menu. I have found all the dishes to be very tasty, varied and colourful, and they are unfamiliar and new to me. Those which have tofu in them always have a generous amount of it.

Mostly I have found service to be quick and courteous. The food always arrives surprisingly quickly.

It’s ‘mid-price’, with mains costing between £13.50 and £15.50, but for me, just a main dish is more than enough. Portion sizes are perfectly respectable, and not excessively large. I wish they would just admit that they only take cash, though, rather than pretending that their card machine is constantly broken.

Pros: excellent food, fast service, 100% vegan

Cons: cash only

Fantastic Pho

We’ve been to the London branch and were very impressed, so I had high hopes when I found myself on a conference in Edinburgh in need of an evening meal. I was not disappointed. The pho was the best I’ve ever had and I’m so glad I came here. Prices are reasonable, portions are great, and service strikes the right balance between attentive and relaxed.

Pros: Fully vegan, no fuss

Cons: Card machine wasn’t working so I had to get cash

Cravings satisfied

They have an good-sized menu featuring typical vietnamese food made plant-based. While I’ve had better pho elsewhere, they’re probably a vegan’s best bet in edinburgh.

Hanoi Rocks

The best spring rolls I have had in some time. Plenty veg and really crispy, fried food appreciation in Scotland, who would have thought it.
Tofu lemongrass for the main, plenty of spice and a great salad as well. Lots and lots of flavour.
A welcome addition in Edinburgh.

Friendly, good service, and very tasty food.

They have great and friendly service. The food had a very nice selection of spices that felt authentic to Vietnamese cuisine. Also the spicy food was quite spicy - that's a plus for me.

Pros: only vegan, authentic cuisine

Cons: not cheap

Best food I've had for AGES!

Oh my gosh! I absolutely loved the food here! Went with my friend, who's a veggie, and she agreed. We had the crispy pancake; a mushroom dish from the starters and the green papaya salad and it was all so, so good! Absolutely delicious! Best food I had in Edinburgh all weekend and the competition was strong. I've also been to Vietnam and thought it was really authentic.
The staff were good and friendly too. All in all, really good experience.

Great Vietnamese food

We loved our main dishes, it was some new but amazing flavors for us! Starters were good but didn't taste very fresh. Staff was friendly but the atmosphere could use some improvement.
