Fantastic Vietnamese food

The food here is amazing! Staff are friendly and welcoming and very helpful. I had stir fry with tofu my partner had the special fried rice. The flavours in both dishes were so good. I could eat at this place everyday 😋

Pros: The food, The staff, The price

Cons: Absolutely nothing to dislike

Stunning food, super friendly staff

We went on 5/11 and ordered two meals we'd never tried before, the Ha noi caramel and banana and the caramel and kohlrabi.
We also had the salt chill pepper mushrooms, sesame coconut crackers and salad, along with fried ice cream and mango spring rolls.
Everything was out quick, was hot, fresh and full of flavour.
Really impressed with everything, the restaurant was lovely and the two staff were great, friendly and attentive.

Loved it.

Pros: Staff, Flavour , Selection

Great flavours

Welcoming atmosphere, was nicely busy. We had the starter sharing platter which was delicious, loved the salad on that. Aubergine main course was very good too. Hadn’t realised it was BYO though

Buonissimo!

Il cibo è davvero strepitoso, il pho era delizioso, pieno di sapore e gusto. Ci siamo trovati benissimo ed è stato bello trovare rifugio qui in una piovosa Edimburgo e gustare dell'ottimo cibo vegano. Consiglio assolutamente!

Pros: Gentilezza personale, Cibo

Nice quick Vietnamese meal

The staff here are eager to please and very nice. Loved everything I tried. The Vietnamese crepe was a bit too crispy to eat with a fork & knife but also not able to be picked up to be eaten by hand (great flavor despite challenges eating it). Would go back.

Authentic Vietnamese food

We were lucky enough to get a table for two so we could escape the rain and have dinner - and we were lucky to have found this lovely place! We both had soup, Pho and a spicier one, and fried ice cream for dessert. Everything tasted just great and was the perfect comfort food for this rainy evening. Very friendly staff too!

Pros: Great soups, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Amazing food, all vegan restaurant

Really really good food and very nice service. Listing here says vegetarian at the time of writing but it's all vegan nowadays from looking at the menu.

Amazing value vegan food

Best vegan Vietnamese i’ve had. The waiter gave me some great recommendations and was very sweet. Food came out super quick after ordering. They were having issues with the card machine when we went so it was probably quieter than usual but it was still a lovely atmosphere.

Pros: Quick service, Great value

Absolutely going back

We had a lovely dinner there recently - a share box to start between two, and then I had the tofu/aubergine clay pot for my main. I was expecting green banana not aubergine so it was a bit of a surprise, but it tasted great. The rice is a little sticky - just how I like it, and the writing around the edge of the plate was in sriracha sauce. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

Pros: Flavour, Choice, Textures

Cons: Menu is a little confusing - had a slight mix up

Highly recommended

Went there following a recommendation from our airbnb host. Super nice place in central Edinburgh, easy to find due to its light yellow color. They only serve vegan food. The staff was really friendly and the food was served quickly. The dishes were really good, we had fried rice and a dish with bananas and vegan fish chunks that were absolutely delicious! Enjoyed our stay there.

Pros: Delicious food, Super friendly staff, All vegan place

Delicious!

I ordered a main course (tofu with eggplant) and a starter (papaya salad). Both dishes were delicious, tasting just as I remembered them from Asia. Great, authentic food.

PS. I don't know why the restaurant is labeled as vegetarian. I think everything on the menu was vegan, also the sign outside was labeled "vegan".

Pros: Taste, Service

To(o)fu(ll)

The Lemongrass and chili tofu was absolutely delicious! And I thought I didn’t like lemongrass. :)
The stir fry noodles with vegetables was good, nothing crazy. Huge portions of both. Both very mildly spicy.

Atmosphere was great. Spacious and quiet, with outlets by the table! (Not sure if that’s standard in the UK, but it thrilled me).

I’ll have to come back to try the dessert and the caramelized tofu with green banana… and everything else.

Good all vegan Vietnamese

All vegan Vietnamese. We had the pho, banh xeo, and the stir fried noodles with tofu and veggies. Good sized portions, everything tasted great. The banh xeo was super crispy (more than I’ve had in the past) but it’s a great texture contrast to the lettuce, tofu and veggies. Recommend.

I’ve had better vegan viet in Berlin and Sydney but for Edinburgh (and most cities) this is great!!

3 star review....

...because the food is expensive, truly expensive, too little raw fire in the food. 🔥 is required toss three chopped chillis in to the pot and make a spicy curry. The manager isn't friendly and there was an odd , anxious,atmosphere around the staff team.

Pros: Mostly vegan, Variety is OK., Tasty

Cons: Mild food, Price., Unfriendly staff team.

Delicious

Excellent food, one of the top vegan places in Edinburgh.

There's a different restaurant called Sen Vietnamese on West Nicholson St, so make sure people know where you're going if you're meeting them at the restaurant
