Sen Chay calls itself a Vietnamese restaurant, but the menu incorporates elements from many East Asian cuisines. All is vegetarian and mostly vegan. I had lunch with a friend, and we both were very happy: fried noodles with tofu and mushrooms - strong umami there...– and a tofu curry with distinct notes of lemongrass and curry leaves. This was the first time I tried their lunch specials and was very pleased: their menu is extensive and interesting, but the quality at lunchtime was much better.More

A small but very excellent place.

Small place, good taste. Friendly staff. Very popular by local hipsters. In my opinion this is the best vegan restaurant in Helsinki.

Good value for money

Great food, good value for money for an expensive town like Helsinki. Only 4 stars because the location isn't the best, but apart from that I have nothing to complain about!

Burned noodles

Place seemed full of potential, my friend good a very good dish, but I got noodles that were badly burnt and the service was not very friendly or fast, it just was. Usually not a problem but coupled with badly prepared food it did not...leave a good taste. I hope that it is usually better prepared.More

Tasty Vietnamese food

Very tasty Vietnamese food. Some dishes might be a bit bland if you have just one on your own, but this food is meant to be shared! I think everything is fresh and the price quality ratio is good. The staff don’t speak English and...sometimes very little Finnish, but that has never been a problem for me.More

Difficult to find but worth it

The whole structure is under construction so I had no idea how to find it, but it turns out, you have to go inside the structure (and up a level). Well, worth it. I have not had pho since becoming vegan (2 years) and this...pho was phenomenal. Price was €9,90 and the portion was fairly large. Note that you grab the menu from the cash register and order there. They don't wait tables. The food comes quick. Small restaurant -- tables are scarce.More

Favourite!

My favourite Asian restaurant in Helsinki, possibly even in the world. (and yes, even after visiting Asia I can say this for sure) At Sen Chay they only offer vegan meals and they know how to make it. A must visit in Helsinki!

Great vegetarian restaurant!

I ate some noodles and it was delicious. Simple but tasty vegetarian food, I would recommend! The restaurant itself is rather small maybe is a bit challenging for big groups.

Not a great experience

First of all they didn't understand english. Had to repeat myself many times. The food was awful for the price. Tofu was just gross. Everything was dirty. Hated it. Wouldn't come back. The only good thing was that we didn't have to wait long -...around 10 mins only.More

Very tasty Vietnamese food. Fresh tofu. Wide list of choice to choose from. Portions are good and filling. Easy to find. But the Neighborhood looks like an abandoned shopping center. Very small place. Few seats if you want to stay. Very professional staff. They speak...good English and understand your needs. Definitely recommended. Reasonably priced.More
