Sen Viet is a Vietnamese restaurant at 119 King’s Cross Road in London. The unassuming neighbourhood dining room serves lunch and dinner and has built a following among local diners and visitors staying near King’s Cross. Table service, takeaway and delivery provide different ways to explore a notably broad menu.

Pho is one of the central dishes, pairing aromatic broth and rice noodles with combinations such as rare and cooked beef. Fresh summer rolls and crisp fried spring rolls offer contrasting starters, while rice, noodles, meat, fish and vegetables appear across the main courses. Lemongrass, chilli, herbs, garlic and fish sauce build the fresh and savoury character associated with Vietnamese cooking.

Vegetarian and vegan choices extend beyond a token side dish, with tofu, aubergine and vegetable preparations available across the menu. Bánh mì and other casual dishes provide alternatives to soup or a larger shared spread. Guests with allergies should discuss their order with staff, as peanuts, fish sauce, soy, gluten and shared kitchen preparation may affect suitability.

Vietnamese coffee, beer and other drinks complement the food and make the restaurant suitable for either a quick lunch or a longer evening meal. The generous selection can feel extensive, so first time visitors may prefer to begin with rolls followed by pho, curry or a rice dish. Sen Viet’s strength is the range of Vietnamese flavours offered from a firmly established King’s Cross address.
