Hoa Sen Restaurant is a family run Vietnamese restaurant at 22 Drury Lane, positioned between Covent Garden and Holborn. Its colourful dining room provides a relaxed setting for Vietnamese street food, a quick lunch, dinner before the theatre or a longer meal shared with friends.
Spring rolls, fresh summer rolls and other small plates offer crisp and refreshing ways to begin. Herbs, pickled vegetables, chilli, fish sauce and citrus create the characteristic balance of savoury, sweet, sour and spicy flavours that runs through the wider menu.
Pho is a central speciality, combining aromatic broth with rice noodles, fresh herbs and a choice of meat or vegetables. Vermicelli bowls, stir fries, curries and hot pots broaden the selection, while tofu and vegetable recipes ensure diners who avoid meat still have substantial dishes to explore.
Set menus provide a simple route through several courses, and takeaway and delivery offer alternatives to eating in. Vietnamese tea, wine, beer and mixed drinks accompany the food, making Hoa Sen flexible enough for an everyday noodle bowl or a more leisurely evening on Drury Lane.
Address: 22 Drury Lane, Covent Garden, London WC2B 5RH, United Kingdom
