First and last visit

I was thoroughly happy with my first visit to Sen Quan Chay until I was presented with the bill. They charged 5,000 dong more than what was printed on the menu. When I asked why, they said prices were higher at the market today. I had no problem with that, but said that if they were going to charge more they had to tell customers in advance. They disagreed. I told them that I would never return there, and I won't. If you do go, be sure to ask the price of each item you order in order to avoid surprises.

Pros: Excellent food, Good portions, Pleasant atmosphere

Cons: Dishonest pricing

Wouldn’t go back

Both fresh and fried spring rolls were very dry. Slow service and food came out at odd times

Local find

A small place where the locals eat, food simple but extremely tasty. Have English menu. Traditional seating on the floor. Quiet but authentic. Would definitely eat here again. Service great even tho not much English!

Great experience

Great service, great food! You need to get upstairs, and you’ll need to sit on the ground (consider this if you could feel uncomfortable)

Slightly pricey but a broad choice

Sen is a large, air conditioned restaurant that can cater for a group of people easily. The menu has a lot of choices, all Vietnamese.

Pros: Air con on a hot day, Choices of noodles or rice dishes, Pineapple smoothie

Cons: The staff were grumpy, A bit expensive

Feels super authentic

One of the only places I went that didn't have mainly foreigners there 😅

Loved the food and service so much! Especially the purple yam soup of course :D

Great soup

I had the hue style soup which was extremely tasty. I really liked the passion fruit smoothie (it was more a frozen milk shake than a smoothie but very delicious). Wasn't the biggest fan of the summer rolls though

Perfection

Needed a big meal before walking street and this was perfection. We sat on the second floor with the floor seating vibes and it was great. Really chill with an insane amount of options. Good value and we definitely over-ordered but we got it all finished as it was so nice

Pros: Amazing food, So much choice, Great vibes

Incredible food!

One of the best places in Ho Chi Minh! We went on our last day and I wish we’d gone on our first, so we could do every day.

The food is absolute incredible and beautifully presented. The Pho was amazing, rice paper rolls so incredibly fresh and even the fried rice was excellent.

We didn't eat there because...

My partner and I decided to try here because their description said they served mock meat dishes and she really doesn't like mushrooms in their 'natural' form.

Sadly once we got there and were looking through the menu, we couldn't see any dishes that weren't very mushroom-heavy and no mock meats.

The other diner's dishes also looked quite small and simple considering the prices of dishes and me personally, I can't handle sitting on the floor which is the only option here so we reluctantly left.

Just leaving this review to let others know what to expect, especially with the seating situation which can be a total deal-breaker.

sooo good and affordable

such many options, nearly impossible to choose from. menu doesn‘t say „tastes like chicken“, it says „what gluten wings“ but there are pictures to figure it out.
we had 3 dishes and an extra portion plain rice and it was enough for 2 people. the „vegan beer“ tastes like malt beer but maybe that‘s just a problem for germans 😅
all in all a wonderful and delicious experience (but be aware of the chilis, SO SPICY!)

Superb vegan food at reasonable prices

I was spoilt for choice. The menu is wide, prices reasonable.

Ordered the stir fried morning glory, noodle soup Hue style and black sesame milk drink. Everything was superb!

The service was also prompt and friendly. Place was moderately crowded even on a weekday and most customers were locals.

Pros: Excellent food, Good value, Friendly staff

Lovely place with huge menu

After a long day of walking, we decided to spoil ourselves with a nice warm hot pot and porridge.
The hot pot had a lot of different kinds of mushrooms and broth was tasty. We asked for not spicy (since my partner can’t handle the Vietnamese spice level) but they are happy to give you fresh chilis to spice it up.
The vegetables which came with the hot pot were nice, I was just expecting some kind of tofu too, so a bit disappointed that it was not included.
I also wanted to try my first savory porridge, which was super flavorful and came in a big amount (it’s a meal in itself).
For the beverages we took the vegan beret (which is non-alcoholic) and the black sesame milk (surprising in taste but pleasant).
