An innovative addition to Edinburgh’s vegan quarter - Edit
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.
Read moreMostly 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.

Fantastic Pho - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, no fuss
Cons: Card machine wasn’t working so I had to get cash

Cravings satisfied - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreTofu lemongrass for the main, plenty of spice and a great salad as well. Lots and lots of flavour.
A welcome addition in Edinburgh.

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.

Best food I've had for AGES! - Edit
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.
Read moreThe staff were good and friendly too. All in all, really good experience.

Great Vietnamese food - Edit
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.

Stunning, super-delicious - Edit
Oh my goodness. This food is amazing. Fantastic choice that makes you want to try the whole menu, plant meat and fish substitutes are gorgeous, not too salty (which is often an issue), delicious, delicious and more delicious! We had the clay pot caramelised dish, the bun cha, a special fried rice and - to start with - the ha long fried cakes with mango salad. I want to live in Edinburgh just to be able to eat here every day!
Read morePros: Extensive menu, Lovely staff, Unusual choices

Great menu - Edit
Really brilliant to have a fully vegan vietnamese in Edinburgh, the menu is big with a huge amount of variety. We had the starter plate which had a great range bits to try (tho I maybe wanted a little more). And then we both had the pho, which had a really delicious broth and spectacular tofu and veg.
Read moreIf we had one criticism it was that there didn't seem to be enough aromatics in each dish - we felt like we were missing herbs or lime or chilli and it meant none of the dishes really wowed like we'd hope.
Would definitely recommend tho!

Amazing food - Edit
Gorgeous food and friendly staff in this small, but lovely restaurant. Everything we tried was delicious. Only minor issue was that they only had one music track on repeat for ‘atmosphere’ but then turned it off when the restaurant was full, so only a minor detail! Would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the area, and we will definitely return if we’re in Edinburgh again. Thank you!
Read morePros: Lots of options, Everything we ordered was extremely tasty, Good portion size
Cons: Only one track on their music playlist!

Really good! - Edit
A massive menu with lots of options. I would definitely recommend getting the sharing starter platter so you can try a bit of everything (including the yummy summer rolls). I had the pho for my main, which is always a crowdpleaser. Can't wait to go back and try some more.

Delicious food, amazing service - Edit
We came here for dinner last night and were both so impressed at this new vegan restaurant in Edinburgh! There was some confusion with our booking (we think maybe we booked the London branch by accident) but they were very lovely about it and managed to squeeze us in. The food was excellent - everything on the house starter platter was exceptional (I thought the summer rolls were incredible but everything was really good) and they even made a special version of it without peanuts because of my friend’s allergy. The mains were also delicious - I had the Hà Nội Caramel and Banana which was a really tasty seafood style dish; I’ve never had something quite like it before. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Great food! - Edit
Unbelievable vegan food! Full of flavour and presented beautifully.
Read moreGood atmosphere when we dined as the place was pretty full.
Staff could have been a little more attentive - it wasn’t the worst service I have received but certainly not the best. Our server appeared that they didn’t want to be there but could have just been having a bad day.
Will definitely be visiting this place again next time in the city!
Pros: Amazing menu full of incredible options
Cons: Staff could have been a bit more attentive.

Vegan Vietnamese deliciousness - Edit
Amazing menu and friendly staff. Food was so delicious and authentic. Would recommend booking on the weekend as it’s a busy place. We messaged them on Instagram to book as the webform on their site is for their London restaurant only.

Brilliant addition - Edit
Absolutely love we have a fully vegan Vietnamese place! No worrying about meat or sneaky fish sauce. I think some people would be put off by the prices but it’s no more expensive than Pho at the St James and much better quality. The vegan ‘fish’ cakes are outstanding. Delicious food and friendly staff.
