Go to Vietnamese Vegan in London - Edit
The staff were so friendly, warm and helpful. The dishes were so good - all recommendations from the lovely staff. Clay pot with green bananas, sizzling tofu and mushrooms, summer rolls and steamed rolls - all fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back with more people!

Excellent food - Edit
They have traditional Vietnamese vegetables or weeds as I refer to them which seriously impressed my wife. The food is excellent and authentic Vietnamese style. However I’ve never seen deep fried ice cream in Vietnam but it was so good I had a second portion.

A wonderful vegan find - Edit
Stumbled across this place after living close by for 4 years, and what a find! An all vegan restaurant will always be a win imo, but this food was also incredible, as was the service and the discount for paying cash ha.
Read moreReally recommend the lemongrass tofu and the large crispy pancake. Accidentally got a dish with vegan fish which was not for me- the seaweed “skin” makes it way too fishy. But my partner loved it. Overall amazing selection of food cooked to perfection!
Pros: Food choices, Service, Discount

Ok with some standout dishes - Edit
I was expecting great things based on the reviews and honestly we left feeling a little disappointed…
Read moreWe had the sharing platter for 2, which was nice for the variety but felt expensive for £14 each. Next time I would just get the betel leaf mushroom rolls as a bigger starter portion as that was the standout dish.
My friend had the Pho and was disappointed as it was bland with very little flavour. I had the caramelised green banana hot pot which was nice enough though nothing to write home about. We ended up adding some of the sauce of that to the pho to make it taste of something!
We also shared the mango rolls dessert, which was delicious. Recommend these!
So all in all…mixed bag. And felt very mixed feelings given the prices aren’t super cheap. Definitely bring cash for 10% discount.
Pros: Betel leaf & mushroom starter, Mango rolls dessert, Friendly staff and fully vegan
Cons: Bland Pho

Great vegan only thai/Vietnamese restaurant. - Edit
Despite calling itself a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, all the food is 100% vegan. Good combination of classic dishes and chef’s specialities. Fast service. Seems to be popular with locals. Decent, high street quality dishes.

Review Update:
Read moreRecently returned and enjoyed more than last time. Still didn't blow us away but a nice meal none the less. Shared 2 Currys, noodles and a sizzling tofu dish. All good and definitely worth stopping at. 10% discount for cash is worth knowing in advance!
It was decent, but nothing to write home about if I'm honest. We had the Presidential Bun Cha and Tofu Coconut Curry with Crackers. Presidential Bun Cha was nice but not that filling for £12.90. The Curry was all good but lacked a little something. Crackers were nice. 10% Discount at lunch times. For £12-£14 a main it's not amazing quality.

Bring cash for a discount! - Edit
Food was amazing, so great to have so many options. They offered a discount (I think 10%) to pay in cash so plan ahead. Dishes not super cheap so I spent way more than I meant to

Fantastico locale thai 100% vegano - Edit
Buonissimo locale Thai 100% vegano. Menu molto ampio, avrei voluto avere più tempo e tornare varie sere per provare più cose 🥲 Servizio velocissimo e personale davvero gentile. Abbiamo preso due piatti principali di noodle in brodo molto buoni ed umami ( soprattutto quello con i vermicelli piuttosto che quello con le tagliatelle di riso), summer roll saporitissimi e come contorno morning glory ( loro tipica verdura, davvero da provare!). Non posso che dare 5 stelle e straconsigliarlo a chiunque, vegano e non 😘

Sharing platters and cosy vibes! - Edit
Sen Viet Vegan is one of my favourite restaurants in London! In the half dozen times I’ve visited I’ve always had to get the sharing platter of starters which is £14pp which I believe is great value and contains a selection of loads of starters including fried tofu, summer rolls and vegan fish. Large plates are interesting and I like that you can go for dishes based on meat/fish alternatives or more vegetable focused. The banana caramel savoury dishes are insane and so unexpectedly delicious! Not cheap but very worthwhile for a date night or a nice catch up with friends. Very friendly and quick service too.

Average at best - Edit
Ate here yesterday the food was extremely average, really surprised as the reviews on here are really good. My partner and I both really didn’t like the spring rolls so didn’t eat them. The sharing platter was quite nice but nothing to write home about. Main courses were okay, the ‘pork’ style meat however in the presidential bun was good and tasty. Have been to many other Vietnamese restaurants before (that have vegan options) which in my opinion are a lot better (one restaurant being a 1 minute walk from this place) wouldn’t recommend or go back unfortunately.

Good food - Edit
Enjoyed the share platter with my friend. It was a nice lunch, but for dinner I would recommend adding something extra. The different bites were very nice!
