    Phở Tái, Miến Trộn
    Nathan L.

    I grew up eating Vietnamese food at reataurants with over 100 options on the menu. Pho option after pho option, rice dish after rice dish. It was overwhelming. SEN is stays true to their authencity, going for quality over quantity, with their two page menu. Didn't realize just how many Vietnamese restaurants were in the area, so stiff competition! And no, SEN is not a KEI Concepts location! After ordering, we were given our waters in plastic to-go cups, which I thought was a little strange. After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!

    The first time we went here they just opened and we had mixed thoughts. This was our second time and it's improved in portions sizes to match the price point. Pros: -we like the dry rice noodles and the ban da (large noodles). The Sen special has plenty of meat and noodles. The sauce I would say is perfect no need to add more sauce, just add spice. -ambiance is standard, though the AC was blasting. On a hot day that is very appreciated. Negatives: -not much to say, service is standard for an Asian spot. Overall 5/5 It was 3-4 the first time, but I'm happy to report we enjoyed it this time enough to return again

    We found this place while getting some coffee at Kei Coffee next door. This place has a small northern Vietnamese menu. It's pretty much a hole in the wall type of place with some large TV's on the walls if you wanted to watch sporting events like the World Cup. We got banh mi pate que which comes with 2 piece that are breadstick sized filled with pate and pork floss. A great appetizer for sharing or having some coffee with. It comes served piping HOT so be careful! We also had the bun cha ha noi which is a very traditional Northern Vietnamese Nanoi dish. It has grilled pork patties and pork belly in a sweet savory fish sauce served with fresh herbs and cold rice vermicelli. You pretty much eat it by wrapping it with the lettuce or dip your noodles into the sauce. Very authentic and delicious without being overly heavy. There isn't much service here since they seem to be super short staffed but they do have delicious authentic Northern Vietnamese food so we absolutely will be back again!

    Came for the bun cha, got blown away by the hu tieu! But first, the bun cha Ha Noi , which came with a mound of springy vermicelli, a very generous serving of lettuce wraps and different fresh herbs, and a bowl of pork patties, delicious pork slices, and pickled daikon and carrots in fun star shapes in a sweet and slightly tangy sauce. The pork patties were my favorite, and although there were plenty of the grilled pork, many of them were pieces with a lot of fat. That was my only gripe about it. Now about the hu tieu, which came with all the delicious bbq pork, shrimp, shredded chicken, fried garlic and onions, lightly dressed in an oh so delicious sauce. For me, the sauce was actually the star. Mix everything together and get yourself one delicious bite, filled with so much flavor. The accompanying broth on the side was great as well, with hints of dried shrimp reminiscent of a really good HK wonton noodle soup broth. Highly recommend this place!!

    If we're heading to Orange County, you can be sure that I'm already insisting we eat Vietnamese cuisine in or around Garden Grove/Westminister. My kids love Vietnamese. I love it. My husband...it's not his fave. But majority rules in this family. I wasn't prepared to be blown away. I most certainly was smacked in the face by flavor from Sen Vietnamese Cuisine in Westminister. We pulled up to this small cafe. A very unassuming place. The kids quickly picked our table. The hubby went up to the counter to order. The food starts to arrive quickly. And what happens next, I'm not quite sure, cause it was a blur of amazingness. The Bánh Ướt with steamped rice paper and pork patties + tofu + fresh herbs and special house sauce literally knocked me backwards. The presentation alone was stellar. But the flavors. THE FLAVORS!!! Out of the park, you guys. Jordan and I were beside ourselves. Licking our fingers and everything. The bánh mìs were appetizer-style cuteness, hai phong style paté and shredded pork in house special sauce. You wouldn't believe the flavors from these little bites. My son couldn't stop! Of course, the kids had what they endearingly call "white noodles" - the phở bắc Đặc biệt. Slurped up every last bite of it. My husband and I tried to steal some bites in, too. Gosh. Too good. We promised ourselves to go back. We never did. But it's definitely on my list. Writing this review now, I'm salivating all over again.

    SEN has been on my list of Vietnamese spots to try for a while, given all the glowing reviews. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

    came here on a Monday - there was plenty of seating inside. The aesthetic is very nice and modern with vietnamese murals inside. Although there wasn't many people inside the restaurant, we felt that we had to keep trying to flag them down because they weren't being attentive just talking to each other or on their phones. They have plenty of vegetarian options and specialize in dishes with fermented shrimp sauce (mam tom/mam nem). Overall the food was just okay, lacked flavor.

    I came wanting to something new with my partner. The place seempacked and lively and the service is humble and kind. I could say the food was delicious for what I got I was happy to get it fast. However I did get my second dish which I had to take home for I was fulfilled already with the first dish. My partner liked the presentation and the location is in a good spot for parking. The place looks pretty chill and modern vibe. I would come again.

    Came here for lunch on the early side to avoid crowds and got a table right away. The menu is not overwhelming, it offers a variety of noodles such as pho, vermicelli, sticky rice...we had the Hue Tron Sen / dry which is very tasty however they use rice noodles (the one that's used for pho) instead of the clear hu tieu noodles. Mien tom ga was good on a whole but broth was bland. The restaurant is clean & service is good. Overall we enjoyed our visit.

    This place always has long lines so o figured it was about time to stop by and check them out. It is a small restaurant kept very clean. The decor is very pretty and inviting. They have a tv on the wall which was playing the Olympics when we went. The service is courteous and relatively quick given how busy they are. The food was pretty good. My husband has the special noodle and was happy. I had the bun cha Ha Noi at $16.99. Love how it was displayed and I could make my own wee bowl. The flavor was this okay. I think I expected more of a traditional fish sauce the sauce reminds me more of a shrimp sauce tho.

    buncha
    Edward C.

    Pretty good given the options nowadays (RIP Hanoi Ave). The bun cha had a lot of veggies, good amount of noodles and the pork in fish sauce broth. I think the broth was a bit sweeter than I like and not as smoky but still pretty good. Service was very quick like any viet restaurant. Ambiance was nice, typical restaurant.

    food: good portions! everything was so flavorful. i grew up eating this and haven't been able to find a good restaurant til now service: everything was quick and the workers were sweet and attentive. ambiance: casual small place, but plenty of seating! it wasn't too busy

    I was craving bun cha and saw the good reviews for Sen. unfortunately it did not satisfy my craving. I don't think the meats are grilled to order. The meats did not have any char marks or taste and the fat of the pork had no crunch at all. The Banh mi would have been better if the baguette had more crunch. The noodle dish was bland. The best item was the cha gio and that was just ok. I had to ask the server for chilis 3 times after all the food already came. He only brought 3 small ones.

Unfortunately, my actual experience did not quite match what I had expected from the reviews and promotions. I ordered the Beef Stew Noodle Soup, and my husband ordered the Roasted Duck Noodle Soup. For me, the broth was very light and lacked flavor. If I'm being completely honest, it tasted quite bland. The beef was also very tough and did not have much seasoning or aroma. It tasted more like plain boiled beef than beef stew. The roasted duck itself was actually pretty good and had decent flavor, but the broth did not complement the duck at all. It almost felt like the duck and the soup belonged to two completely different dishes. It is a little difficult to describe, but the flavors just did not come together. On the positive side, the service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The restaurant is not very large, and the dining area did not feel especially open or spacious. I can imagine that it may feel quite crowded on busy weekends. Parking, however, is very convenient and spacious since the restaurant is located in a shopping center with a supermarket. Overall, the service was good, but unfortunately the food did not live up to my expectations, especially the broth.
