So good

Ordered takeout, it was delicious. The portions were quite large as well and the packaging was clever. Will eat here again.

Pros: Delicious food, Large portions, Clever packaging

Cons: Only took cash

Amazing Food

The food here is fresh and delicious, and the portion sizes are excellent. They have only lost a star because the fried ice cream is now vegetarian instead of vegan. 100% recommend!

Pros: Amazing food , Great service , Lots of options

Nice vegan pho

Good pho and spring rolls, not as good as what you’d get in Australia but still nice

Straightforward venue, big and tasty starters!

We have been a couple of times, mainly drawn by the big tasty starters. Most of the starters we tried were fried will try the fresh rolls next time. As noted in other comments, the venue is pretty simple, not a lot of atmosphere but clean and good location. Not found the mains as great but will keep working through the menu!

Pros: Spring rolls, Reasonable prices, Vegan menu

Great food

I thoroughly enjoyed my tofu coconut curry here. So tasty, full of rich flavours but not too intense or overwhelmingly spicy. Staff didn’t seem too interested though just going about their routine.

Phee Phy Pho Phum

Had a very pleasant lunch here on a wonderfully brisk and delightfully biting cold 1st of December day. I’ve always felt the city of Edinburgh is at its best in the winter months. The Special Pho Noodles Soup was fragrant and full of succulent tofu, vegetables and vermicelli but lacked a good kick. Maybe I was expecting more of a Ramen. We also ordered a tofu coconut curry with delicate chunks of sweet potato, aubergine and potato in a fragrant lemongrass infused coconut curry sauce. The bill came to just under £40 including two glasses of wine. There’s still some confusion as to why Sen Viet Vegan is categorised as vegetarian on Happy Cow but I’ll leave this to the fine Happy Cow ambassador of Edinburgh to adjudicate on.

Pros: excellent vegan options, fair prices for 2023

Cons: lacked atmosphere, no banter

Great food, poor service

We've eaten here before and were looking forward to the return. The starters were huge and excellent, the mains equally good with the new tofu and green banana curry well worth trying.

Unfortunately after finishing the mains, we had to wait for almost half an hour while the 'server' chatted with his mates and looked at his phone. When we finally got his attention he simply brought the bill; he didn't offer teas, etc. and he didn't clear the plates. A disappointing end to a fine meal.

Pros: Some of the best vegan food in Edinburgh.

Cons: Inattentive service.

Staff definitely disinterested.
All he did was peer at us sheepishly from a distance. Never asked is the food OK?

Buenísima

Una carta amplia de opciones veganas y con un sabor espectacular. Preguntamos por recomendaciones y fue todo un acierto. En concreto, el plato con tofu y alga nori espectacular.

Fantastic vegan restaurant.

This is a fantastic casual dining restaurant, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends.
The service is friendly and attentive.
The food, all vegan, is really tasty.
We had the spring rolls and Ha Long cakes as starters and both were excellent.
Mains were a Sweet and Sour dish, and Lemongrass and Chilli Tofu (really recommended).
We had deep fried ice cream and sweet Mango spring rolls as dessert. Both were nice but the spring rolls were especially good.
Portions are a good size and the prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food.
We noticed from overhearing the staff greet people that several other tables were returning guests. That’s always a sign of a good restaurant.
I’d definitely eat here again. Highly recommended.

Pros: Great food., Friendly staff

The food was absolutely delicious and the Tofu is flavoured and seasoned really well. The service wasn't the best but the food mostly made up for it.

Great food

Great food, friendly staff. It's listed as vegetarian as they have a few non vegan things available but almost all of the menu is vegan.

Average

I was very disappointed by the food which was just fine rather than amazing as the reviews said. It was not terribly healthy. I’d recommend for a quick bite but I had planned a birthday meal and it simply wasn’t special enough for me.

Best vegan oriental style food

Loved how the waiter had excellent memory (such a skill that amazed me). They remembered 3 people's drink, main and starter, off the top of their head.

Pros: Vegan fried rice, Lots of options, Great smoothie
