  “Good was nice, service a tiny bit slow but they were busy. Overall a good experience. Sadly the salad had mint in it which wasn’t on the menu so I couldn’t eat it (I really hate mint - it spoils meals for me). They offered to do something but I didn’t want to make a fuss and be eating still after my party had finished eating. They were nice and friendly. I enjoyed the passionfruit and mango mocktail on the menu.”

  “Went to Sen Viet Quan Guildford with my whole family and honestly every single one of us loved it. We ordered loads to share and every dish was amazing. The shaken beef was so tender and full of flavour, the chicken wok and wok fried ginger chicken were both cooked perfectly, and the Saigon hawker pork chop was absolutely delicious. The Signature Hue was definitely a standout, properly spicy but so flavourful at the same time, the kind of dish you keep thinking about afterwards. The salted egg chicken wings were unreal too, crispy and packed with flavour. And the salt and pepper squid is genuinely to die for…easily one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Even the cocktails were incredible. I had the Tropical Bliss with pineapple juice and condensed milk and it was so good, really refreshing and different from the usual cocktails you get elsewhere. You can tell the chefs really care about the food because every dish came out tasting fresh, authentic, and made with so much attention to detail. I honestly wish I could personally compliment the chefs…maybe next time! The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were welcoming, and it just felt like such a great family meal from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back again soon.”

  “I've dined in this establishment 4 times now and not once have i had an iota of disappointment. Reading a few of these negatives views i can't help but think some people don't know what quality is when it is presented to them. The food always is excellent and incredible value for money - i reccomend the Hue soup - and the salt and pepper squid ticks every box. Service smooth and upbeat and i've never had a delay here - Will for one is one of the best servers i've had in years from any type of hospitality. A chilled ambience and a place worth coming solo, with friends or for a date (unless you eat as messily as me). If your on the fence - just come!”

  “We decided to eat here for lunch after seeing the reviews for Sen Viet Quan. When we arrived, we managed to get the last available table, while people behind us were asked to return later. This was on a Monday, and the restaurant was pretty much full between 12pm and 2pm and then quietened down after that. They offer an extensive menu and we ordered prawn crackers, a classic beef Pho, a prawn & mango salad, and salt & pepper prawns. The service was a little slow, but this reflected the fact that the place was full, and plenty of dishes were coming out of the kitchen at regular intervals. The prawn crackers were crispy, but my one comment would be that the dipping sauce was very small relative to the number of crackers. My Pho was a hearty size, and the beef was tender. Spice wise, it was about right for my palate, although for those preferring a hotter experience there were plenty of condiments, like chill oil and paste, that were available on the table. The prawn & mango salad was spicy, but not overly so, and was full of authentic Vietnamese flavours. The salt and pepper prawns were a little overcooked, but nevertheless added nicely to our other selections. Prices here were very reasonable, and we shall be coming back for lunch here at a future date.”

  “Me and my friends dined in for dinner last week. It was an acceptable experience, I would say. I’ll keep it as good food, not good authentic Vietnamese food. We had Signature Hue Soup (Bún bò Huế) and Saigon Hawker Pork-chop (Cơm tấm). I appreciate they had the thin noodle for the BBH, but the soup is more on the tomato hotpot soup side because there is no sense of lemongrass, shrimp paste, sate paste, which are signature for the OG BBH. The Hawker Pork-chop which is a rice dish, so much effort put into it 🙏 Good portion, fluffy rice, tender meat, but I would prefer much less sweet fish sauce. The welcoming is not much friendly, because we entered at 5pm. It seemed like it was the shift change, so the staff rushed to leave and didnt pay much attention. And we really struggled to get other staffs’ attention to take our order and get the bills. They were all very friendly but they were not really attentive. The seating is comfortable. I dont know why the playlist was quite chill, even like lullabies. I think we can totally find a chill and easy Vietnamese playlist, so people can immerse in the Viet culture. Because the decorating is pretty though. 09/02/2026”

  “I popped in here for lunch. It seems to be a nice family-run place and service was friendly and knowledgeable I started with rice rolls with roast pork. Reminiscent of Chinese cheung fun, they were a lovely sticky starter I was tad greedy and went for king pho, which arrived in a giant bowl complete with beef, chicken and meatballs. The soup was full of depth but not medicinal Lots more to explore on the menu. The chicken wings on another table looked yummy”

  “The classic spicy bun noodle (bun boe hue) is legit here!! Super delicious. Starters and sauce pairings is definitely England-ised. The salt pepper tofu flavour was good but tofu texture too dry. Overall lunch value good deal and delicious. But really bad service dinner time / sitting upstairs”

  “We visited this Vietnamese restaurant in Guildford for a weekend date night, and it was our first time trying Vietnamese food. The restaurant itself is very cozy, spread across two floors, and we had a comfortable table upstairs. The staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and accommodating – it really added to the experience. The food was absolutely delicious! We especially loved the vegetarian spring rolls – the dough was perfect, and the filling was so tasty that we were genuinely impressed. We shared three dishes in total, and everything we tried was full of flavor. The beer was great too. Prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere makes it family-friendly as well as perfect for a date night. Overall, a wonderful experience – highly recommend this place. 10/10, amazing food and fantastic service!”
