La Sen

Love this restaurant. Came here for lunch and I really enjoyed everything. The dishes are fresh and tasty.
Crispy pancake: indulgent and quite healthy at the same time. Love the crispy pancake itself and also the fresh fillings.
Sweet and sour fish: packed with flavours!
Fried rice and salt n pepper tofu are pretty good too. If you love coffee, you might wanna try their hot and/or cold Vietnamese coffee. Amazing.

A lovely restaurant situated on Perouse Road. It is a casual eatery with your standard Vietnamese favourites and suitable for nearly everyone.

The service is hospitable and very friendly. Easy to get their attention if you needed anything.

We started of with some fresh and light Roasted Duck Summer Rice Paper Rolls. Filled with juicy duck, vermicelli, and salad, this was a great start to the meal and tasty with the homemade peanut hoisin sauce. The Duck Crispy Pancake was crisp and not oily at all. It was generously filled with duck and bean sprouts. ...read more

general ambience - fine. Menu choices - good. Service - good. We had the pork spring rolls, which were very nice but I also ordered the rare beef pho (I love pho and have had it many times at many places - Vietnam included). This bowl of pho had no flavour at all and the soup just tasted like warm water - no beef flavour, no spiced flavour - nada. They were very good about crediting it on the bill though and were suitably apologetic - so points given for excellent customer service.

It's also in the entertainment book (if that's an incentive for you)

Located in the restaurant hub of Randwick, La Sen will leave you feeling fresh and satisfied. Vietnamese is most certainly the new Thai in Sydney. The entrees here really were the stand out - the homemade crispy spring rolls with minced pork followed up by the duck salad wraps were the perfect start to the meal. The spring rolls gave us our fried fix and the duck wraps were fresh and full of flavour. For something different to the usual pho or noodle salad we tried the la sen chicken curry with potatoes which was a mild curry in coconut milk. For those that like beef the beef sizzling hot plate was full of meat, onion and seasonal veggies. Paired with a glass of wine we were left feeling very satisfied.

In January La Sen, will have been in The Spot for three years. That’s no mean feat in such a competitive restaurant zone, where eateries sporting a global collection of cuisines vie for the attention of locals and moviegoers to the Randwick Ritz.

The older-style space has had a cheerful yellow and grey makeover that has been enhanced by the addition of a wooden ceiling panel.From it leafy green fake ferns, that, when added to the vase of namesake lotus flowers and seed pods, add something organic to the long, dark and narrow space. ...read more
