V.

It’s a neat restaurant, friendly staff and good food. The spring rolls were delicious with the fresh ingredients. The fried squid with salted egg yolk & stir fried beef is recommended.

S.

What a beautiful space! Sen has a very warm atmosphere to it. Very chic! Great for a date ! My partner treated me to dinner at Sen last night. The service is wonderful, the staff are all very kind and their lead waitress is very attentive! She explained the whole menu to us, pointing out Vietnamese favorites and staple dishes for us ! The food was Crazy! You must try the Nem Lui (pork skewers) they are cooked on a lemongrass stalk that gives you a little spritz of flavour every time you bite ! We also had the summer rolls and spring rolls. Both of which were so fragrant and came with a variety of dipping sauces. Try the summer roll with the hoison sauce! So good ! Our waitress even went the extra mile to set our entrees up as a sharing platter since we were on a date! My partner order the Bo Cari. A bright beef curry. The sauce was nice and thick and the flavour kind creeps up on you. Many layers to the sauce. And nice soft veges to accompany! Decent portions I ordered the Ca Sot Man. A Tarakihi fish With a sweet plum sauce base. There were veges on the plate but the fish sings by itself. The sauce is a little sweet, a little sour, but all round so much flavour!!!! Great portion size also! And not too heavy Add on a Vina colada ( a kinda fizzy pinacolada) and your night will be made. 10/10 will see you again !!!!

O.

I ordered 3 starters and 3 main dishes but Beef Pho come first 🤔. Fry squid, spring rolls and beef pho are good but Nom ngo sen is bland and tough. Great service. Highly recommended Bun cha.

A.

Great Gluten Free options. Excellent food. Good service. The environment might be unexpected for a Vietnamese restaurant, but it works. Try the pork belly. Soft and delicious! Such comfort food. Even on a really hot summer day. Just make sure you pair it with some of the amazing salad offerings. Only minus: they need to clean the glass railings on the mezzanine. Highly recommend!

C.

Lovely Vietnamese restaurant with great cocktails. My favourite place for family celebration dinners. This time, we ordered the set menu (which is a feast!) and added 2 more dishes as someone was ravenous! We should have stuck to the set menu as the 4 of us(3M, 1F) were struggling to finish all the dishes. Here are some photos of the dishes. We forgot to take the rest as we were busy enjoying the dinner!

O.

I think this is now our go to for Authentic vietnamese restaurant. Great service, very friendly and always caters to the needs of my family. The food is also as presentable as it gets. Lovely atmosphere once inside and always feel welcoming. The food was amazing!! The Bun Cha was spot on And chicken lemongrass was unique. Would definitely come back here for dinner one time as we only did lunch. The pork belly was perfection as well as the spring rolls. Don't hesitate your decision to eat here. Shout out to the chefs here!

S.

It was our first time going with a group of us. The entry and ambience nicely decorated. The menu range was sufficient and not overly complicated. In short, ample friendly staff, but the wait time for a mojito was 40 mins, the meals were average and overpriced and our friend had to pickup his own meal at the counter. If the food was something to rave about I would give it a go again, but the meals were something we could cook at home.

H.

Everything is delicious! This is the first restaurant where I’ve genuinely wanted to try every single item on the menu. I’m working my way through it and have yet to be disappointed. Make sure you try one of the starters and leave room for the crème brûlée. It’s quite a unique space too- exposed rafters and very spacious. Also, nearly every item on the menu is gluten free. The staff are friendly and the service is quick.

B.

Excellent restaurant in a great location. This is not like those ‘Vietnamese’ restaurants where the closest the chef has been to Vietnam was a 3 hour layover in Singapore. This place is truly authentic and the food tastes like what you get in Vietnam. Friendly and attentive service, and there’s a pretty extensive drinks list.

J.

Went for lunch on Tuesday. Ordered grilled pork and ite comes with rice noddle and Salad. Order to delivery was quick. Taste was OK, a bit sweet. I work close to the restaurant and I've been to the restaurant few times and tried a few things from the menu already. The lunch menu is a bit boring now. It's time to add or change the lunch menu.

M.

Great foods and beautiful service ! Best Vietnamese restaurant in Auckland in my opinion!

C.

This places needs to open more branches! Cant believe a place like this is so hidden! EVERY dish is sooooo unique and very flavoursome! Highlighting this place as a go to and recommend to ANYONE wanting good food, good vibe, good environment.

A.

The best place to eat Pho in Auckland. Rolls are delicious, lemongrass chicken just yum! One of the favorite places to go and have a great soup!

J.

Sen is one of my go-to lunch spots near work. Can’t complain about their Pork Bahn Mi and Spring Roll combination - tastes great and good value.

G.

The food is delicious, the staff are quite friendly, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The price is also pretty reasonable for the quality you are getting. I have been here a couple of times now and both have been wonderful. The second time I took some friends along and they all loved it. Highly recommend for those wanting to introduce their friends to Vietnamese cuisine.

G.

Nice Vietnamese Restaurant Cozy environment and good food quality. A bit hard to find parking during lunch time!

G.

I had prawns with veggies and passion fruit sauce, beautiful presentation and tasty dishes as well! Beautiful restaurant, very nice, I will definitely come back another time!

J.

We were sat at the back of the restaurant. It was very hot which meant there were a lot of flies. The decorations were really nice and the smell of the food was really fantastic. I ordered the pineapple fried rice which tasted different to what I thought it would. It didn’t have the intensity of flavour I was hoping it would have. But it was still good.

Y.

Super delicious! We got 2 mains + rice and the entree platter between 3 people, and it was a perfect amount of food. Caramelized pork belly was truly melt in your mouth, and the serving was very generous - would recommend splitting between 2 - 3 people along with other dishes as it's very rich. Shaking Beef was portioned at about a single serving and was super tasty, but the beef wasn't very tender. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes. Lovely spacious venue, intimate upstairs area, delicious looking drinks too.

T.

We celebrated a belated birthday at Sen Vietnam Kitchen & Bar in Mt Eden, and it brought in nostalgia learning this restaurant is in the CAC building which previously housed one of my favorite restaurants. The staff was wonderful and warm to deal with and attentive and the interior remained striking and impressive as I’d remembered previously however now with accents of Vietnamese paraphernalia tastefully adorning the walls. The menu read impressively from beverages to food and we started with cocktails, Mango Tango with sparkling water. These were refreshing and gorgeously tropical and befitting of a warm evening. For starters we tried the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Chicken Lemongrass Bao and Minced Pork Lemongrass Skewers and Mango Salad with Beef. Each dish was delicious with the Bao being the standout. To follow on, we ordered the Chicken Red Curry, Bun Cha and Sweet Spicy Passionfruit Prawns with jasmine rice. I thoroughly enjoy every exquisite mouthful from each dish and was truly besotted by the curry for its flavour, texture and fragrance. It was a dinner setting in heaven. We tried more cocktails including La Chanh Mule and Tra Chanh Mojito, simply stunning. I truly loved my dining experience at Sen as it was truly an elevated and very memorable experience of Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommended!

V.

As a Vietnamese living abroad, I hate myself not coming here any earlier. The food brings me all the good memories of my home country, I could say the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant I have ever tried throughout New Zealand. I would recommend Sen Vietnamese Kitchen to anybody. Words cannot describe how good their food are. Plus the service is very nice with little waiting time. A must try for everyone. Little trouble is they don’t have a lot of parking spaces and you could have to struggle finding a spot during peak time.

M.

What I love about this restaurant is it's vegetable green curry. You will not be disappointed and the service is spot on. Ordered the shaking beef, green curry, eggplant and grilled pork with some rice which is more than enough to feed a table of four.

J.

Great place to have a meal with minded people. Food absolutely perfect and all staff are always welcoming and regularly looked after during meal time. Love this place.

P.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Sen tonight. My daughter gave the thumbs up for every dish we ordered tonight. Delicious, fast service and great ambience. Will definitely be back.

M.

Love this place! Beautiful interior and unique, warm vibes. Plus, delicious food! Great variety of dishes to choose from. Decent price. Would definitely go there again:)

J.

What I had was great. The mango salad (papaya due to the season) was perfectly balanced with salty, sweet, sour and spicy. Although I asked for spicy, glad I did!! The bun cha was a pleasant surprise and very delicious. Again a great balance of flavour. However would've been better with just sliced pork but was not too much a detraction. The staff were friendly enough but could have been better, not a negative but worth a mention. Tap beer choices were few but still good. I'll definitely be back.

A.

A bit pricey compared to normal Viet restaurants but the main dishes are quite special and interesting so definitely worth a try.

L.

Good atmosphere tasty dishes

A.

Last couple of weeks I spent trying Vietnamese cuisine in different places and this restaurant, in my personal list, is number 1, that’s why I’ve already been here twice and will come again for sure. Highly recommend this place!

G.

Tried many different pho places, but this is simply the best one! Highly recommend! My son and I absolutely loved it!

W.

Some dishes are delicious but some are not. Locate conveniently in Mt Eden with easy parking.

L.

Oh my! With cocktails like the Southern Lotus & Blessed Garden you can't help but feel you're in a happy place. Beautiful food, lovely service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend.

S.

Came here for a celebration evening, and had been looking to come here for some time. We were really disappointed and underwhelmed when leaving, whilst the food really was amazing, the service was very poor. We had booked a table and asked for a nice table due to the celebration but was just dumped on the first table they could find. We wasn't asked if we wanted drinks, we had to call the waiter over after about 10 minutes of being seated. We had finished our mains, and then was hoping someone would clean the table and take the plates and ask if we wanted anything else, but no, 20 or so minutes we sat there and they didn't even clear our table or ask if we wanted another drink or dessert. When we paid we wasn't even asked how the meal was. Really really poor service, but great food. Won't rush back.

S.

Wow! The food was beautiful, delicious and authentic. The setting was really funky. Thoroughly enjoyed my dinner and would highly recommend Sen Vietnamese to all

P.

Amazing food, relaxed atmosphere and very attentive staff.

L.

Delicious and healthy food, and the staff are awesome 👍

S.

Love this place, the service is real good lot of good options in food n drinks but the best is vermacili checken and the mango salad- just love it. Not very crowded so you always get a place to sit for larger or small group. Should try it once you will not regret.

R.

Beautiful ambience, nice Vietnamese street food

Y.

Very yummy and high quality food. Nice service also.

A.

Papaya salad was nice and bun cha is always to go

c.

Amazing food with top quality service 👍

S.

If you are looking for a nice fancy place to have Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. We had one entree and two mains for $48 - a pretty good price for a fancy place

L.

Decent food. Will come back.

P.

The best Vietnamese restaurant in Auckland. I've been to a fair few! The food is very high quality, the atmosphere is lovely.

S.

A very beautifully decorated restaurant I love the sort of padoga style set inside the original stone building. We sat outside as it was nice weather. Fast service, great food and cheaper than I had expected. Will definitely be back again.

L.

Good Vietnamese food. Great for lunch!

s.

Excellent quality of foid catering to a range of tastes and dietary needs. Especially good for a large group. Decor and ambiance perfect. Love this venue

S.

Cocktails were yum as! Had the elderflower and gin and it was like pashing a cloud. Pork belly, chicken bao and beef pho were all inhaled with reckless abandon. 9/10 would take Sen on a second date

A.

Sen is an amazing spot for Vietnamese food! My partner and I were super impressed with the quality, taste and presentation of the food, as well as the style and ambiance of the restaurant itself. The staff were helpful and friendly, and did everything they could to make our experience wonderful. Very highly recommended.

M.

The owners are nice. The food is worth coming back for more! Yummy!

K.

Ambience was good. Nice interior, clean, simple layout. Not sure if they have a lift 'tho for people wanting to go up the main dining area. Presentation was simple but food was flavoursome. Very interesting asian fusion, my favourite was the crispy tofu with salted eggs. Maybe needs to be just a bit more crispy. I enjoyed the papaya salad although the menu says mango salad so was a bit disappointed. I ordered a non-alcoholic beverage, "Summer in Saigon"...it was refreshing, liked the combination of coriander and cucumber and a hint of Chili. Overall I thought my family had a great first time experience at Sen. Would be back to sample the rest of the small platters & nibbles selection. It was a good dining place, I reckon it's value for money.

I.

Very nice atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, nice cocktails, ticked all the boxes!

K.

Attended with group of 40 people. Fantastic food. Fresh and authentic. Great ambience. Service was exemplary with the wonderful Ange looking after us, making sure we were all OK and making us laugh too. Everyone was commenting on how good the food was. Highly recommended.

A.

1st time customer.Me and my friend didn't arrive till 2110pm knowing the kitchen was closing at 2130pm. We were given enough time to order our meal. I enjoyed my CARI CHAY a vegetarian dish in a delicious smooth with a hint of spice green curry 😋 along with my TROPICAL ZEN giving it a fresh taste from the drink to the main. My friend enjoyed his BO CARI, it was his first time ordering beef cheek he finished his plate left with nothing on the plate ! Loved the atmosphere of being upstairs in a dimmed restaurant nearly to ourselves because we were the last to leave 😌. Il come back here with recommendation to my friends, family and colleagues. The prices for the dishes are A+ which fitted my budget nicely 🧡 Look forward to coming back!

B.

Excellent,food, atmosphere, and friendly efficient staff,.. awesome night,.. Thank you Ray, Mark,.and Miki..

S.

Very nice contemporary Vietnamese food! Great service too.

M.

Staff are warm and welcoming and the food is beautifully presented and deliciously flavoursome. The restaurant itself has a lovely ambience with seating available inside, outside or upstairs. It was extremely busy in the lead up to xmas and maybe this is why the mains arrived before we had finished eating our entree. This was my only gripe..would come again.

N.

We just had a large work lunch here and it's safe to say the whole experience was amazing. From helpful emails in the planning stages, to the food and friendly service on the day. The dining space upstairs was also beautiful.

M.

Serving tasty, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, this place has a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly. However, I found the portion sizes to be on the small side which makes the meals for lunch slightly on the pricier side. Don’t get me wrong I’m coming back for sure but not when I feel like getting something budget to fill the tummy! While there’s public parking on the street, the area can get busy.

F.

Absolutely delicious flavours - the chefs here really know their food! I have tried the cumin lamb and also the beef cheek with coconut curry. They were both incredible, as are the bao buns and the fried spring roll entrees. However the beef pho from this restaurant is the real star of the show! It has amazing flavour, tender delicate noodles and perfectly cooked meat. (The chicken one is also very good). It is in the entree menu but they can also serve it as a main if you ask. Don’t miss this place!!!

M.

Too good to be true 😋 made me miss my hometown

G.

Walked past this place on my groups Saturday walk and as one of our walker had blistered feet and lived nearby decided to have lunch here rather than at our usual Chinese Restaurant at Parnell. Was not disappointed at all, was so yummy we forgot to take pics. The Vietnamese coffee was exactly like how I had in Hanoi, this restaurant recommended for a weekend lunch if anyone stuck for any ideas. Coming back again if passing by on our walk.

S.

One of our favourite restaurants. Amazing staff, always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The only downside is parking! Cocktails are fantastic. Pork belly is to die for! Yum!

D.

Lovely atmosphere and staff . Food is fresh, flavourful meat tender and produce top notch. A delicious sample of Vietnamese cusine ! We will be back!

m.

Really good medium-sized place. I had fried squid, spring rolls, chicken Pho and a steamed bun chicken sandwich. Their main plates are too expensive for the amount you get, but they are very tasty. That's why I don't give it 5 stars. It's far better just to load up on the small plates which are amazing, especially the steamed bun which has the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted. Don't waste your time with desserts either unless you want to try one for fun, they are tiny portions for a high price. Best part about eating here is you don't feel bloated at all after a big meal, typical of Vietnamese food.

M.

We went here with a group of good mates and enjoyed a really good night of tapas and drinks. The tapas were nice - I especially loved the slow cooked lamb (I have no idea what the previous review went on about - ours was beautiful and a favourite at our table), the risotto balls and pork belly. We had a great night and will be returning soon!

T.

Hi Kat, I would just like to say thank to your team for a great lunch for our group on Friday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the large variety of dishes which kept arriving and the service was also excellent. We also loved the cocktails! Many thanks!

C.

Joined a work group for lunch, service was good and get - great for lunch. Had some slow cooked pork delicious. Would come again with more time and check out more of their menu.

R.

Bloody delicious, lovely atmosphere, and the staff are wonderfully charming while being their real human selves. The food is consistently good and the beef pho in particular was excellent. Cocktails/mocktails menu was inventive and fun to my untrained eye - had an interesting concoction including pineapple juice and tamarind paste! Just as beautiful inside as it is on the outside if you noticed it, like I did, on the way to Mt Eden. Will absolutely be back, thank you!

c.

Amazing food with top quality service 👍

E.

Friendly welcome, almost the right amount of attention from wait staff (had to ask one to take our drinks order but he was very friendly & obliging), food was really yummy (shared Spring rolls, Orange Duck, Yellow Curry), had some exotic / different wines on their list which was cool, bathrooms were clean & tidy. Was a little more expensive than I'd normally expect but guess they're aiming for the higher-end of the dining market? Nice touch for Valentine's Day they had Hershey's kisses on the plates when you arrived too.

L.

Decent food. Will come back.

A.

Wonderful food and atmosphere! The staff were also very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back. If you can manage to get a table upstairs, then it's definitely worth it as the ambience is fabulous.

M.

Spring rolls were great, quick service. A very enjoyable experience.

S.

Wonderful, warm atmosphere. The staff were so helpful and really welcoming. The food came out quickly and was delicious! Would definitely go again.

N.

. (02/2019) This beautiful Vietnamese restaurant is located over Normanby Road in Mount Eden and can be easily spotted on the roadside from a moving vehicle in normal traffic. Convenient location. Well managed, organised and nicely maintained. Comfortable seating. Excellent ambiance and cosy atmosphere. The seating is extended to second level which presents a lovely view as well as great surrounding. Plentiful food options with dedicated section for vegan and vegetarian ones. Delicious food and it comes with good presentation. Drip coffee, Banh Bao Chay and Ca Tim Chay are amazing. We were looking forward to mango salad but due to different season, it was replaced with papaya after informing us. Table service. Offers takeaways. Well timed service. Pleasant and helpful staff but once you have been served, you may have to try hard to get attention of servers for anything else. Could not notice wheelchair accessible seating or high chair in plain view at this location. Good for groups and catch-ups. Reservation can be made in advance and is recommended for big groups. Good place to spend quality time. There is no dedicated parking area available although ample shared parking can be found. Finding parking can be a struggle over a weekend or a day with some sports event at Eden park. Entrance is not wheelchair accessible. PayWave facility is available at this location. Had a great experience, more because of the fellowship.

R.

The food was great and catered with a good variety for vegetarians. The customer service was great! The only thing missing is a vegetarian pho made from vegetarian stock! That would definitely bring in more people like me. Auckland is missing a good vegetarian pho!

D.

awesome food value for money been there twice great service smile and informative menu explains by the staff. full belly by the end of the note. I would go back there again for a meal.

T.

Went there for my birthday. Apparently the old brick building was once a foundary and it has a unique ambience. We ordered a variety of items and then just took our pick. The real standout was the 24 hour lamb, which just like the name suggests, is lamb that's been slow cooked over 24 hours. This was like nothing I'd ever tasted. Staff and service were fine too.

J.

Absolutely delicious food. Fantastic waitress! Once we realised the big two seater chairs can be moved and we were closer to the table it was even better! Great place to get a few different dishes and share!

M.

Good quality Vietnamese food, good selection of drinks

A.

Loved the decor, big & roomy but also cosy. Neat lighting too. Seated upstairs in a mezzanine area, I enjoyed a lovely lemon chicken dish with my daughter after work. Groups, 4's and couples doing the same thing. Parked on the street outside and only 5 minutes from our busy inner city work life.

M.

Came here for my friends birthday (big group about 25 of us). Food was tasty. Portion for banquet ($45) seemed a little small or maybe I just eat a lot. Staff that served us were very friendly and helpful.

C.

My second visit since I posted a review last month and - sadly - was sooo disappointed! I brought my son (who is a Chef at Masu) and his girlfriend as I wanted them to experience Sen and... OMG... the 'service' was embarrassingly woeful and the brulee disappointing. The waiters (different to our last visit) had to be asked twice to remove the stack of menu's from our table after we ordered and as they cleared the tables from surrounding diners, they just stacked the dirty dishes on the empty, but clean, tables [plural] next to us and left them there whilst they went downstairs - empty handed! I've never seen anything of the kind! Sadly, the brulee, which I'd previously raved about, came out this night with what looked like tinned boysenberries on top and the juice just dissolved the incredibly perfect sugared crust on the top! Such a waste! Bahn Bao were average. I'd be hard pressed to return. (1st Visit - October) My friend brought me here for dinner and I was so pleasantly surprised! Service and food is excellent. We ordered the 'Shaking Beef, Steamed bun and asian greens' and... wait for it... 3 desserts!! Defintiely order the brulee. It was THE BEST brulee we'd ever had!! The puffed rice was unimpressive but the chocolate cake made up for it! Ambience is great and the interior - absolutely charming! Will definitely return before I leave NZ! Highly recommend.

S.

Sen is an interesting restaurant that has a select few items on the menu that are authentic and incredible, but the rest of the items are overpriced and average at best. The drinks are sub-par, despite the fact that Sen makes a big fuss about their bar. Adjust prices to be more reasonable and get rid of items that aren't quite up to the standard from the menu. Until that day, Hansan still holds the trophy.

K.

Great food and cocktail with cosy ambience. Been here twice and never disappoints.

I.

amazing food and lovely atmospheres definitely a restaurent that you will enjoy the amazing Asian cuisine the reason why I have 4 stars instead of 5 is because the table for couple setting are a bit too close of each other.

J.

I had dinner here and ordered the pork belly which was very good. Everything on the menu is a little more expensive then I like, but the meal was worth the price.

H.

Really great food, cool atmosphere and very good service. However if you're thinking of coming here for lunch keep in mind that there's not very much parking around so prepare for that!

P.

Exquisite food and a fantastic atmosphere. We were a large group, the staff did a marvellous job in creating a warm and social environment. The food was plentiful and flavours 'to die for'.

P.

One of the waitress that works here is very rude. No customer service at all. An older lady. However other team members are good and conscientious. The caramelized pork was average as it was too watery.

T.

Fabulous food and service! The food was very authentic and tasty, just like what I had in my hometown. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. What's not to like? Very satisfied!

M.

Impressive PHO!!Best at AKL

P.

Yummy foods ,👌 nice atmosphere, friendly services

M.

Great historic building in a hidden part of the city. Been here for dinner and enjoyed it. I would give it 4 stars for the tapas dinner. Disappointing for brunch. Poor coffee. I ordered a dish with prosciutto, but got salami instead! 2 stars for brunch

O.

Great food, attentive and helpful staff. Bit expensive for lunch but portion sizes are big. Would recommend if you are looking to get away from local pub food

D.

I havent been here for a while because of the trouble finding parking but it was excellent when I used to go. Great food friendly service just a pity its so hard to find parking. If you havent been go I am sure you will enjoy it.

S.

Food is delicious but not very surprising.

G.

Enjoyed an excellent meal. The best Vietnamese food I have ever tasted. Met up with daughter and enjoyed the hospitality and ambiance.

J.

Good ambience yet food was slightly less authentic than what I had in the past. Delicious though, very delicious indeed. Would have preferred if they had a menu with both westernised options and authentic vietnamese options.

J.

Lovely dinner at Sen this evening, we had the ribs and the vegan green curry. The service was good too😊

I.

Quite nice place, delicious food although the main courses were a little bit salty for me.

B.

Had a really nice healthy dinner here. Was early so no one else there. We were seated upstairs so was nice & quiet would go again if in the area.

D.

Great food. Group of 20. We had a very varied menu, none of which disappointed. Friendly staff, too.

D.

Amazing, everything was excellent. Salad rolls, spring rolls, pho, shaking beef, coconut pannacotta and chocolate cake were all absolutely delicious

S.

Had our company's Christmas dinner here. Food was great and everyone enjoyed food, service and ambience.

G.

Simply the best Pho I have ever had in the world. Great menu, very friendly staff, and casual and relaxed environment!

V.

Good food but they are very small portion compare to the price i pay 👍

J.

Good if you have a table upstairs, the head waitress is very knowledgeable and helpful about the dishes. When you over order, she will advise you accordingly.

J.

Good authentic pho noodles. The pork belly was so rich and delicious it was hard to finish it all. Bit pricey, nice bar inside.

R.

Been here twice in one week, beautiful pho and spring rolls. Not to expensive, you don't have long to wait for your food which is great

M.

Great ambience and quick service!! Good food with good presentation!! Will definitely go again!!

P.

Delicious food, well priced, wonderfully ambient and gracious service.

E.

Amazing food. The atmosphere is really nice and welcoming, as well as the staff. Would come back 10/10

C.

Great place,great food and great people, what more can you ask for

J.

Great setting, lovely food and service. The food seems very true to traditional vietnamese and south east asian cuisine. I can't find anything I dislike about it.

O.

Very nice lunch spot. Food was tasty. Good quality and affordable prices.

A.

Best vietnamese restaurant in New Zealand. North Vietnam, Hanoi food. Excellent. Quite expensive, though. Anyway, extremely recommended.

K.

nice food, great service... they didn't have the drink I ordered from the menu which was a shame but otherwise, excellent

M.

Food was excellent, and the amazing venue a bonus.

T.

Good food, good service, nice venue

A.

My new favourite restaurant. Authentic Vietnamese food. The host was very helpful and professional. A flavour explosion. Love it!

R.

Food amazing but the service is non existent.

F.

Nice interior, standard Vietnamese food with a bit too much sweet spicy but lack of flavor. Good service and Good wine list though

V.

Amazing food but had upset stomach so left. Will be back

M.

The food is was great and highly recommended to anyone but the waiters were a bid dormant and off boost.

A.

Delicious food. Love the decor. Not your typical cheap Asian food but worth the money.

B.

Great tasty food, fast and happy staff, we had the private room and highly recommend the set menu

S.

Luxury goods but a but pricy for the quantity. Strange service as one of the ladies tells you her life story... But definitely friendly. Decent food but somewhat slow

S.

Pretty average Vietnamese and an odd ambiance. The wine I was served had gone off it had been open so long - something I'd expect a wine waiter to pick up when it was poured.

T.

Food was tasty and fresh. The service was great. I'll be returning for sure

A.

Dined here a few times now. Nice environment and nice food.

N.

One of the most authentic Vietnamese food you can find in Auckland.

S.

I was taken to Sen Vietnamese for a birthday dinner. The food was delicious and the ambiance very pleasant. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

D.

Found this place on zomato. Soo glad I did. It's an absolute gem.have been 2 times now. My wife and i really reccomend Sen.

M.

What an amazing experience! Great food, great wine and great staff! Will definitely be back

J.

Very nice: good food.

N.

Came here once before and loved the food both times. Always good service and good Vietnamese coffee 5 stars

G.

A.

Super nice food, awesome quiet environment, great staff. Easy car parking out the front.

M.

Fantastic Vietnamese cuisine in a cool space (ex_ammo company)! Highly recommend & keep coming back.
