A few takeaways from visiting Richmond are that the city is underrated and the food is way better than I could have ever expected! Sen Organic was no exception. I really strongly suggest ordering the Potato Pie, which was crispy and flavorful. The grilled mushroom roll was also such a treat. The pho was also exceptional. I did have to take the cilantro out because I am not a fan (don't judge me it's genetics), but it was otherwise so full of flavor. They really stuff the pho full of delicious vegetables and seasoning, I was so impressed. It's also just a nice vibe and located right in the strip of fun activities. There are also great options for eaters of all ranges, from meat abstainers to meat enthusiasts. I recommend!

This was one of the best meals I've had lately! Beware, the prices are pricy, but over all worth it. And it's in Carytown so you're paying, partially, for atmosphere and vibes but also for all organic food. They have so many vegan options and we got most of them. The crispy fried tofu was, predictably, my favorite, but the crispy golden rolls, potato pie, fried cauliflower, and vegan sen bún hue were all wonderful. Try the beet wine sauce! It's very different and it's delicious. Our waitress was great and warned us that the vegan soup had some realistic vegan meat in it, which was a very useful warning (could've fooled us) We loved everything except the desserts.

The interior is very aesthetic! When it is warm out, they open the windows and you can enjoy your meal alongside Carytown. I actually really like the food that I ordered (contemporary Vietnamese). The Bun Cha Gio is a refreshing bowl full of veggies, noodles and your choice of protein. Their food tastes really fresh. I also really like how there is a lot of vegan/vegetarian options. The only thing is that it is a bit overpriced, but it isn't much of a shock as it is a restaurant located in a prime area in Carytown. Service was wonderful. Also, I saw that they had egg coffee so I definitely want to try that next time as the last time I had egg coffee was when I visited Vietnam and I haven't seen it sold in any other Vietnamese restaurants in Richmond.

Went out with a group of 5 last night. Our initial plan was Pho Luca, but they had about an hour long wait. I've driven down this street hundreds (probably thousands) of times and never really paid attention to the close by Sen, but one of the girls in our group had been before and recommended we pop over to see if we could get seated here. They only had outdoor available and it was pretty cold out so we were hesitant, but they were kind enough to move around the heaters to make us more comfortable, which was super appreciated. Their menu is honestly a LOT. Lots of words, lots of sections, lot of text. I can definitely see how it could be overwhelming to someone. I tried to just focus on the pho/soups section. They also have desserts and bahn mi, and noodles, and entrees like salmon and chicken. All of us got the brisket pho. I'm. it even gonna lie - I was taken aback by the pho being $27. I've tried a lot of pho spots over the last 10-15 years and have never experienced prices this steep. I know it's because they're organic and all, but WHEW. Some of the special offerings were upwards of $50 and $85. The serving size was huge (s/o to our servers muscles!) and they certainly don't skimp out of noodles or meat. The broth was tasty and beefy, but not as rich/fatty as I'd have liked it. They give you plenty scallions and onions which I LOVE, as well as your usual sides of basil, limes, bean sprouts and jalapeños. They gave the tiniest slivers of jalapeños, but there was a delicious, spicy red sauce that I ended up using all of. Our server was Rachel. Very attentive and gave us menu recommendations and checked on us regularly. Sen has absolutely gorgeous glassware and gold cutlery. I was so pleased when it was time to pack up our leftovers and she brought out gold ladles. (The worst is trying to dump your pho into a quart container and spilling it everywhere.) Because we were a group of 5, an auto-gratuity of 20% was added to the bill. They also do not allow the check to be split more than 2 ways, so definitely keep that in mind if you go with a group. Our bill was about $250. I'd definitely back for a special occasion, but I'm a student so this definitely couldn't be the place I go every time I'm craving pho.

My friends and I spontaneously stopped in for an early Sunday bite. It was so nice to sit on the outdoor patio. The menu is very large! Sifting through the cocktail options was actually pretty challenging! My friend's kumquat mimosa ($15) was really delightful. I liked by bluetini, too, but I liked how refreshing the other cocktail was. I got the Saigon banh mi to go. It was a notch above average, though I'm not sure I'd want to spend $18 for it in hindsight. The small potato pie is definitely worth getting and is easy to share. Our waitress was bubbly and hip - just like this spot!

Friendly staff who are very accommodating especially if you need access to wifi. Fresh, flavorful and well seasoned food. Can't wait to return to try more of their offerings.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of being in Richmond and decided to dine a bit out of our comfort zone. In this case we visited Sen Organic for Vietnamese/French cuisine. Reading the menu was a study in food culture. It provided so much information about the infusion of French in the Vietnamese food culture. We enjoyed a variety of teas (hot and cold), some spring rolls (yum!) as well as some amazing Pho. If you are looking for a relaxing, new dining experience, try San Organic.
