December 12th is National Pho Day, but one day simply isn't enough to honor the soulful, heart warming magic of our favorite noodle soup. On my first visit to La Sen, I ordered the Bún Riêu ($13.99 - Crab Noodle Soup), an order of Gỏi Cuốn Tôm Thịt ($6.50 - Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls), and a Cà Phê Dừa (Vietnamese coconut coffee). It was decent. Their bún riêu wasn't strongest in terms of flavor so that was a let down. I did enjoy the spring rolls though (how can you go wrong with spring rolls?) and the Vietnamese coconut coffee was refreshing. It's a beautiful clean space with ample seating. The afternoon we were there, there was only one server so the wait time wasn't ideal but easily forgivable. While not a bad place for a meal, I don't think I would go out of my way to come back. read more

Pro-tip: Do not expect a fast meal coming here like your typical Vietnamese places. Highlights: The food was pretty good. Lowlights: We had terrible service when we came, even though there weren't a lot of customers. I went with a party of four and we ordered two bowls of pho and two bowls of bun bo hue and after a crazy long wait, somehow the server only brought out three of the four bowls. We waited a really long time for the last bowl before asking the server if it was coming and she said the kitchen was still working on it. I don't know why they would serve food like this. There were only three other tables of single diners, eating at the same time as us and the other people all finished their meals before we got our last bowl. Huge pet peeve of mine is when the staff doesn't clean up the dirty plates after customers leave. To top it off, since it was a modern looking restaurant, the prices are higher and they give less sides like mint leaves and bean sprouts. I personally won't be coming back. read more

Really great place. The Pho broth is so so so good that I drank it all. Noodles were cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of meat and seafood. We got the salt and pepper tofu...HIGHLY RECOMMEND as well as the spring rolls. Do not leave this place without getting the garlic noodles read more

This place is owned by Hello Vietnam in Scottsdale but with more menu items including Wagyu and lobster. It is located on the eastern most end of the NE business corner of Germann and Dobson The entrance is a bit difficult to navigate and I would recommend clearer signage to the front. The sliding glass doors is s bit cumbersome and they get left open because they appear automatic but are not. The restroom entrance reminded me of an escape room with multiple options. The sinks were nice though. The interior is spacious and divided into various seating areas. This would be a good place to bring larger groups as it accommodates 12 in a section. The decor is pleasant and the interior design is representative of colors and pictures reflective of Vietnam. There are 4 large screens that display various food preparations and traditional dishes. They also have a bar and serve alcoholic beverages besides boba and Southeast Asian teas/drinks. They have fair prices and the pho has good broth. Pho Tai (rare steak) is not loaded with meat, but it is a large bowl and contains a large amount of noodles. I actually returned again to check if the pho broth was consistent and it was flavorful. I also had yellow curry which I have tried at their other location. Toan is a friendly server and the food came at a comfortable pace. He was quick to refill drinks and check on our table. I would recommend you try this restaurant, especially if you have not tried Pho (pronounced Fa). read more

Delicious food! The filet mignon garlic noodle is AMAZING! It's a little pricier but the portion is big and it's cooked to med rare (you can ask them to cook longer if you prefer). We had shrimp pho and chicken wings with sauce on the side so we could try different flavors. It's very relaxed and not busy. Service is a little slow but they will take care of you! Definitely recommend read more

Not very busy as we came about an hour before the restaurant closed. The decor was well lit and the restaurant smelled clean. Our server was very quiet, but friendly. The menu had a lot of options, but we knew we came for the pho. Ordered the eggrolls and two phos. Everything was pretty tasty. No complaints here. I hope this place lasts because I'll definitely be back. read more

La Sen means Lotus. Kenny.. was my host, bartender, and waiter for this PHO-KING journey into a 6 month old restaurant it was PHO-KING AMAZING! chủ sở hữu, xin vui lòng cho nhân viên nấu ăn biết rằng đã làm nên bữa ăn ngon. Cảm ơn (owner, please let the cooking staff know that made the delicious meal. thank you) Ambiance, CLEAN, open (not one tight space there), private rooms for parties, very well designed with no overkill on any of it! See the PHO-NOMAL PUCTURES BELOW. Pricing very reasonable. Started with ice tea hand made from tea leaves before you get it, comes with 1 refill, stong yet Mello for a cool 108 today. Decide to order the vietnamese egg rolls, pot stickers, and lemongrass beef noodle bowl. Post stickers: right out of frying, crisp and delicious with a warm meaty center. When I bit into the pot sticker, PHO-LAVOR boosts combo with the crispness on the outside amazing with or without the sweet sauce! Vietnamese eggrolls: Look at them eggrolls pictures! Just right and hot AF as they just came out of the fryer. Crunch through the 4 layers of crispness just to get to be given another burst of different flavors. You can't get any closer in my own opinion to being in Vietnam by the river or with new people you meet just enjoying a snack together. Finally, lemongrass beef noodle bowl: This is the lemongrass flavor I have been searching for, lemongrass flavor in the marinated beef with other spices, and has a nice just carmilized edges of the beef, noodles, mint, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, onions and peanuts. I like to call this the deconstructed PHO bowl. Check this out think of this LEMONGRASS BEEF PHO. I asked if they were able to make it, not able to do it at this time. It's all good! Overall, it was a great experience from walking in to walking out after eating. Yes, it was not busy. 3 tables when I got there, don't let that stear you away, because once this place gets hot and you can't get in....then... I TOOK THE CHANCE YOU SHOULD TOO! read more

Very nicely decorated inside especially for a Vietnamese food place. Seeing how it is I was expecting the pricing to be high, but with inflation nowadays it was comparable to hole in the wall Pho spots. There are over the top pricey items if you went to go fancy route. The Steak Pho, Pho Thai was $12. The pho broth was delicious. The meat came out a bit more cooked than we would have wanted. Bun Bo Hue was so good on the first couple bites. Then it got a bit fishy as I ate more. The fish sauce got very strong. Maybe next time ask if it's possible to get light fish sauce. The service was great! They have a private room if you want to have an event or gathering. read more

La Sen - Grill Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I stopped in to try a new Vietnamese restaurant that served more options than just pho. The menu had different selections like raw beef salad, fish sauce, chicken wings, and noodles soups. Unfortunately, there were a lot of items on the menu that were no longer available. I would say the food was lacking flavors and did not taste authentic. Also, I like my noodle soup piping hot, so I was very disappointed when my Bun Riej came out lukewarm. I was hoping this restaurant would have authentic Vietnamese food. read more

Second visit! Came in around 6/6:30 on Sunday evening with my family since they wanted to try this place. We were seated pretty quickly. It took a while to get our drink orders in (about 10 mins). Once our drinks came out, our food orders were taken pretty quickly. It didn't take too long after that to receive our food! Our order: Pork & shrimp lotus salad Bun bo hue w/ sliced beef & brisket Bun mam Combination noodle bowl (bun dac biet) Combination stir fry (xao dac biet) The lotus salad was pretty good! Light, citrusy and refreshing! You can't see them in the photos but I swear there is pork and shrimp underneath all the onions and lotus lol. Bun bo hue broth looked a bit light in color (photo was enhanced but it was light in person). Flavor was also light and could use a bit more. Wasn't bad though! I asked for an extra side of saté and added like 3/4 of it in. I like mine spicy!! Saté wasn't spicy but it still added a nice flavor. Both the sliced beef and brisket were pretty tender. Veggies were fresh! My mom said her bun mam was good but the broth wasn't hot enough. She also wished it came with a sauce for dipping that other places usually give. My dad's noodle combination bowl looked pretty! Nice presentation and I like the bowl it comes in. He just needed some Sambal but other than that, I think he liked his dish. My brother was expecting the noodles for his combination stir fry to be bigger. He also felt the portion size was a bit small. Overall, an improvement since the first time! read more

Ordered via Grubhub for a pickup. When my son picked up the order, he was charged again. He explained to the guy who was helping him that he's picking up an order, the guy just kept repeating that it was $18 something. So my son paid for it not realizing that I had paid for it already. When I drove to the restaurant to show proof of payment, the guy said he was going to refund my card but never did. It's only $18 and some change, BUT do they always charge when you're picking up app orders? The spring roll was good and I usually dip it in peanut sauce unfortunately the sauce looked sketchy since it was slightly opened. lol would I be back? Maybe but def not online/app order lol read more

went there monday, sign was gone painter was there, apparently new restaurant coming no fwd on phone so looks like they're permanently closed read more

So this most recent time we came back during lunch time on a weekend, the menu was a fraction of what it was 6 months ago. There was only one server running all the tables...poor girl and we felt bad for her, as the customers came pouring in. Food was great as before, although there was less to choose from now, and the first set of red wine we ordered was foamy and tasted like half fermented grapes that I once made at home. I told the server the issue and she gave us a new set of wine which tasted more like wine. Service was on the slower side this time around than before, but not terrible. I think if they had at least 2 servers working here, things would run a lot smoother. Ambience was as before and the prices/portions didn't change. I do hope they change the weird door issue. Hard to close that door when you come in. read more

After reading so many negative comments I decided to go here to give it a try and I'm glad I did. The food is very good. I wouldn't call it authentic because Arizona is a long way from Vietnam. They have to scale it back for American tastes. The combo bowl I ordered was very good. A good amount of shrimp, beef and chicken with carrots and broccoli was very fresh and tasty. The Thai ice tea was good without being overly sweet. I liked it so much after I had dinner here I came back the next day and ordered two sandwiches for lunch. Grilled chicken and pork belly. The French baguette was fresh and tasty. The cilantro, onions and carrot added a fresh healthy taste to the sandwich. I didn't see pate as an option for the sandwiches but they stood solid on their own. I wish the veggies were pickled longer for more depth in their taste but I get what they ate doing here which is making it generic so they can sell more sandwiches without turning some people off. Think Mexican food with tons of cheese and black olives. That's not authentic Mexican Food but that's what people have come to expect. It's Chandler AZ with people from Nebraska , Iowa and Ohio and they want chimichanga even if it's a made up dish for Americana. Same principle in effect here. The service was great but don't be in a rush. Everything is made fresh so don't complain about time. If you want fast go to Panda Express. Good food should be enjoyable and savored otherwise go to a drive in and order Taco Bell. The ambiance is very nice. This has one of the nicest decors I've ever seen for a Vietnamese restaurant. If you know San Gabriel or San Fernando Pho spots in Cali you know what I'm talking about. Next time I'm trying the Pho which at $12.50 is a deal. The depth of their menu was amazing with so many dishes available. Curry, Phad Thai noodles there is something for everyone here. Very nice friendly staff. read more

Upon walking in, I was flabbergasted by how gorgeous the decor is. This place looks super fancy and a cute spot to take a date to. Their prices are on the lower side than the average especially with the pho prices. The pho Tai was my kid's favorite, the waiter was kind and attentive. I liked the pho dac biet's soup was very flavorful. Overall I'd def come back. read more

I recently ordered takeout from here to help me get over a fever. I like to think their food helped hasten my recovery! I was too sick to take pictures, but we ordered a lot and loved every bite. All the takeout boxes were labeled and had these pink stickers to keep them closed! I hope to visit here soon so we can enjoy our dinner at this delicious restaurant! Our order was: shrimp egg rolls, fresh shrimp rolls, steal and meatball pho, crispy roasted pork banh mi, garlic noodles read more

Above average Viet Food for a reasonable price! The good: -the food was pretty good overall, ordered the Pho & Bun Bo Hue. There's nothing crazy about the dishes though, but it definitely satisfies a craving -prices are fairly reasonable and is the reason I'll come back. -service is solid, as we came in late & there were not many customers dining near closing hours. -portions are descent, but not the largest I've seen. Still you'll leave satisfied. The bad: Bun Bo Hue came out a little bit fishier than we wanted, so it would've nice to be able to control the amount of fish sauce. read more

Update after visiting the 2nd time: I checked out their Bun Bo Hue and the broth tasted bland like water. I don't taste the lemongrass in the broth. What happpend to the first Bun Bo Hue I had? They were out of vegetables as well. The food quality is not consistent. Service is still great though. read more

My bride saw La Sen on Tiktok and we decided to give it a try. The place is very nice inside and was not crowded when we showed up. We were greeted right away by our waiter who brought us glasses of ice water and menus. We decided on the Lemon Grass Beef Bowl for my wife, and Grilled Chicken Bowl for me, as well as an order of Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls and an order of Fresh Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls. Also got a pot of hot green tea. Our waiter was very attentive and nice to talk to. The bowls come with noodles and fresh vegetables and tasty sauce. I also added Hosin sauce to mine. The Spring Rolls were super fresh and delicious and come with peanut sauce and diced peanuts. All the food was wonderful and the glasses of water were very nice tasting, not like typical Arizona tap water. We really enjoyed our lunch and the interior is decorated very nicely. Unfortunately the did not have a current liquor license for some reason even though they appeared to have a bar. Oh well, maybe next time we come. read more

Finally, an aesthetically pleasing Vietnamese restaurant! The space is spacious and welcoming. The menu is huge and contains dishes that you can't find anywhere else in the Valley. There are photos of dishes on the menu but they aren't labeled, so we had to ask our server what some of those were. The people were quite helpful, although most of them seemed a bit confused and not so confident - potentially because the place is new. The Vietnamese egg rolls were great. I also tried the special mixed stir fried noodles (Mì trộn đặc biệt), which came with eggs, beef, shrimp, greens, and sausage. It was really good. Nothing was too salty for us (like what some other reviews mentioned). We will back to try more things that other places don't serve! read more

This place is amazing. It is fancier than most Pho places, but the prices are the same. I had the spicy beef noodle soup the first time with real crab rangoons and pork/shrimp wrap. My daughter had the orange chicken and said it was better than Panda. My wife had the grilled chicken pho and loved it. On our second visit we had the crispy pork Bahn Mi, Steak Pho, Chicken Pho, and Garlic Chicken Noodles. Again, great food, reasonable prices, and a fantastic atmosphere. read more

Spicy beef noodle (special): good flavor.. decent amount of meats and stuff.. came out steaming hot with decent amount of noodles. I couldn't finish all the noodles. The meats could have been juicier (less dry).. overall it's preetty decent. My friend ordered lemongrass beef noodle, and it was decent as well, though he said he didn't taste much of the lemongrass in the beef. Definitely be back to try other dishes.

It was ok. They made us sit in the back room because they were "doing construction at their bar." We felt forgotten back there and when the server finally came he really didn't know the menu well. He took our order and 20 minutes later came back and said they were out of one of the dishes. At that point we were hungry and had been there for a long time. We just split the one bowl of pho and left. As we walked out there were a few tables in the main dining room. The pho had good flavor and the inside looked nice but service needs a lot of improvement. read more

This restaurant was very beautiful and food was delicious though serving was very slow.

I was little upset but yeah finally I got my food for such a very long wait, tho il admit their food is good. Not sure if we will go back with such kind of slow service.

We have wanted to try this place for a bit now. Finally went yesterday. We both ordered the bun bo hue special, with fresh noodle. And the garlic noodle with shrimp. The bun bo hue was good, but the portions here are the smallest I've seen in az. It's was a lot of broth, but the noodles were non existent! About half the size of any average place in az. Garlic noodles were good. We will not be back, we left half full and needed to eat when we got home. read more

It's nice place,good view to hangout, price was acceptable for a place like this.
