Very friendly and accommodating staff, great food. We will be back for sure!
Excellent food and friendly service. Cant believe i have not been back in a few years. Will definitely make it a regular place!
Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. A little bit on the pricey side and quite difficult to park on the weekend. But definitely will return for their food and friendly service.
WHY? I personally love Vietnamese food because of its simple yet complex flavours. The tangy lemons, fish sauce & coriander is a favourite for me. I randomly stumbled upon this place a few years back & now I’m recommending it to everyone 😂. It’s fairly affordable & the dishes taste authentic & full of flavours (the pho is served in a small bowl). What I love so much about Sen is the ambiance & the interior design. I especially love being seated upstairs in the dimly lit room, pretending I’m somewhere in Asia. This place is quite large & could accomodate for big groups of people (I actually found this place when I was looking for a place to host a bday party for a friend - they do parties with set menus).
-> BE BACK OR BACK AWAY? Be back, back, back! This place is a must try 😍😍.
Nice and cosy restaurant. Good food quality. Recommend to come on weekdays as weekends can be very crowded.
When I think of banh mi, I think of Sen.
Fresh bread, deliciously fragrant lemongrass chicken. I haven't come across a better banh mi yet.
The shaking beef has a delicious smokey flavour and tender beef. The mango salad is fresh, light and you can add beef for a more substantial meal.
Sen also does a very tasty beef pho.
My only complaints are parking at times is difficult and I wish it was closer to my house!
Sen is well worth going out of your way for though.
Great for takeaways too!
Ordered the spring rolls and squid for entrees.spring rolls were amazing the sauce ThT came with it could have been a little more flavourful but the siracha on the table helped. The shaking beef was tender and cooked to perfection. Probably one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The beef curry was another winner. The chicken was probably my least favourite out of those 3 but still really nice. The Creme brûlée was set well and definitely had a pandan flavour
This place is amazing - mezzanine seating, perfect food and excellent service
We stumbled across this place and we’ll definitely return if we’re back in Auckland any time soon!
Great and friendly staff, amazing place fast food and sooooo tasty and the presentation mouth watering.
First time trying pho in Mt Eden. The area was divided into two separate areas which was quite unique. The service was amazing with the owners greeting us and asking us about the food. We ordered a pho, fried rice and spring rolls. The food was overall really good and nothing much to complain about. There aren't many parking spaces and it is a slight walk from the bus stop (not much) but otherwise it was a really good experience!

A wonderful restaurant where, for the first time in my group of 15 friends, we all left happy with the food, service, and restaurant atmosphere. 100% recommended. The prices are reasonable, the food is fantastic, and the service is excellent. Parking is available on the street with meter.
Lovely quiet place to have lunch with delicious food. I got the combination lunch set with a crispy pork bahn mi and a fresh spring roll and they were both amazing. The bahn mi was warm, crunchy and delicious and the spring roll was lovely and fresh. For 18 bucks it was absolutely worthwhile. Both great value for money and quick. The staff that served me were cheerful and attentive and seemed like they were having a good day. Highly recommend either for lunch or dinner. I will be back
Everything is great from service to food but the round table and the fixed seats is a little uncomfortable. Overall it still a great place to eat and enjoy
Worth your money and price is pretty good. Ordered for Takeaway and it tasted as good as it does when you dine in. I’ve dined in this place a very long while ago and since I was in the area I thought to pick up some dinner. I was not disappointed!! So delicious 👌🏽
Flavours were superb and just mouth watering. I ordered for two, Beef Pho
$11. Deep fried spring rolls (3 piece) $9.90 , Chicken Bao buns $9.50 and rice for $3.
Highly recommend you check this place out! Staff was great and greeted us straight away when we walked in the door.
We work within walking distance so had a leaving lunch here. We did pre-book since we had a fairly large table. It did look like they had an upper area but it was closed off during lunch.
The place looked quite nice and rustic. The wood and stone interior was quite nice. The menu wasn't very large but did have interesting items on it. I tried the banh xeo, the savoury pancake. The pancake itself had a nice crispness to it and it was filled with pork and prawns. It was quite tasty. The other items also did look quite nice like the claypot pork belly.
I thought it was a nice place for decent Vietnamese food. The dishes had nice flavour and the interior was quite interesting.
Have been to Sen 3 times in the last month for lunch and dinner, with a small.and large group. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service each time. We were there when it was both busy and not busy and received the same quality of food and service.
The food is fresh and tasty, served within a reasonable time after ordering. Nice environment and can cater for small to large groups. I recommend this place if you like Vietnamese
In all the times we have been to Mount Eden for work, how have we not discovered this little neighbourhood gem? So good we went two nights in a row? Great cocktails, yummy food and very good service. We worked out way through the menu and whilst the mains are great, we love their small plates are a good option for nibbles and a drink after work.
This was a nice place to stop in before going to the Project. The food and prices were pretty good. Great service too!
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!
Update: we came back here for dinner and it was as great!
Nice Vietnamese restaurant located in central Auckland. Came here for lunch and loved the atmosphere so much.
Compared to most other Vietnamese restaurant it's got an upbeat, funky feeling.
Food is nice, ordered a rare Beef noodle soup, medium price range, will come back and try something else next time.
Only meter street parking available, so a bit inconvenient.
Staffs are friendly and shows the happy face, which is great.
Highly recommended 😉👍
