Sen Viet - Camden

Some of the best Vietnamese food in london. very reasonable prices. the ban xeo (vietnamese pfannkuchen), crispy roll, rice paper rolls, spicy color noodle soup and banh mi are all excellent. the staff is responsive and over. love the avocado smoothie or mango/coconut. only small handle: music is a little loud to speak with a normal loud. I've been coming here for years and love it!

A lot of variety of Vietnamese food. As with many other Vietnamese restaurant, this is a no fuss place, but with good food. We had the prawn spring roll, plus a variety of noodles. <br/ <br/ Spring roll was fresh but perhaps would be better if they can pack more prawns and vegetable into it. <br/ <br/ For the noodles, they have a variety of broth spicy beef broth, non spicy beef broth, chicken broth and also just vegetable broth. The selection is good especially for those who don't take beef. I ordered the spicy noodles. Broth had good taste, but not really spicy.<br/ <br/ One other comment is that they are quite stingy with the plate of fresh vegetable that you normally get when you order the noodle soup. We were four of us, and they gave us only one plate of this vegetable.

This is my new discovery I don't even want to tell anyone it's that good! Vietnamese in London is good in general but coming here I experienced the level above. so many dishes to choose from and many dishes I haven't seen in other places. still very down to earth kind of place. friendly staff , good food. I can't wait to go back .

But Sen Viet was excellent, and deliciously cheap. With a menu longer than the bible it took a while to choose anything, but the sauce on my Thit Heo Kho (pork belly cooked in coconut juice, with eggs) was hot and sweet, and the pork belly melted like butter – which made it almost impossible to eat with chopsticks. Sadly, instead of whole eggs I got a strange almost potato-like cake of it with a bizarre texture, but that couldn't spoil the gorgeous meat and glorious gloop. Even the beer was super – they only had one type called Saigon, which had a Belgian-esque sweetness to it, presumably a happy hangover from French occupation, but slipped down like a drunken penguin on a glacier.

We were at MC's place for dinner one evening when he brought out some Vietnamese noodle soup that he got from a local takeaway. While I didn't get a chance to sample it the dinner was a spread, Wife kept on telling me how good it was after the meal and I had to ask MC for the contact details just to placate her. MC was traveling then and didn't have the number or the address but he gave us the name Sen Viet and it's located just next to Thai Aubergine. When we eventually find Sen Viet along King's Cross Road, its somewhat dismayed facade gave no hint of its clean cut and almost swanky interior (with Mariah Carey's Hero playing in the background) I could hardly be blamed to think that everything looked brand new because they actually are. Barely a month old, Sen Viet was already g
