Maison Sen in Köln

When we entered the restaurant we were greeted warmly and immediately asked how many people we were. We quickly found a table, but I soon noticed that it was straining my back too much. So we looked for another place, further back in the restaurant, but we didn't feel completely comfortable there because we had the impression that we wouldn't be undisturbed. Eventually the friendly waitress led us to another table further back – and that turned out to be the perfect choice. I chose a vegan Thai curry and a rose tea with goji berries and a little honey for sweetness. The others also ordered their food and tea each. When the food was served we were surprised by the size of the bowls, which were generously filled. We were thrilled with the first bite: the taste was exceptional, the fresh salads were delicious and all in all a real treat. We each drank a large tea with our dishes - ginger tea, jasmine tea and rose tea - and each one impressed us with its wonderful taste. Overall we thought it was very good value for money, the portions were generous and of excellent quality. I can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience.

We came here spontaneously in a group of 7 people. The restaurant is nicely and comfortably furnished. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and doesn't keep you waiting long. There is a large selection of dishes, including vegan options. Everyone really enjoyed the food, as well as the lemonades and cocktails. The portions are large and cheap. We would love to come back soon. (Info: cash payment only)

Excellent! Both the food, the service and the atmosphere.

It's not something special, there are other places that are better

Very friendly service. We love the food.

The food is very fresh and natural, it tastes fantastic!

I really liked this institution. The food was delicious and the waitress was extremely friendly. It was nice to hear the native language and taste Ukrainian dishes. I will definitely visit this cafe more than once.

Very, very tasty food, the atmosphere was pleasant and, above all, the food was ready extremely quickly. And since there were some special requests from a few people in attendance, the food was definitely freshly prepared. The prices are also completely reasonable, I absolutely recommend it 👍🏻

We ordered here and were pleasantly surprised by the delivery time and the great taste only exceeded that. Thanks!

I've been eating here several times a week for years. Ingredients are always fresh, the price is great and the whole team is always friendly. I recommend red curry, bun bo num bo or the beef salad.

Great food and, above all, great value for money. Service was good and ambience was nice.

Absolute recommendation! If you want to enjoy authentic Vietnamese food, come here! The Phò is really good and that says a lot about the rest of the menu! :-)

I ordered the classic summer roll and the rice noodle with spring roll from Maison Sen. The fish sauce is crucial for both dishes. Unfortunately, I found the sauce a bit bland and therefore not convincing, so that the respective dishes were also not convincing. What was very tasty, however, were the spring rolls with the rice noodles. I didn't find the taste of the drinks 100% convincing compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. The staff was friendly, but it always took a while before we were noticed and until someone came to us, even though the restaurant had hardly any guests in the shop at the time. I personally found the atmosphere very nice. The only thing that bothered me was the wooden benches - they just weren't comfortable and were difficult to move/customize. Overall the visit was a nice and relaxing experience, but I would prefer other restaurants in the area :)

This new restaurant deserves an immediate review. I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. My dish was the Mango Chicken with grilled meat (A8)! The ingredients were super fresh, the taste was a dream. An explosion on the tongue! So many different spices and ingredients. It was simply delicious. Food, ambience service 5 stars. Thank you for opening in the middle of the Corona madness! Your restaurant looks great. Facility 5 stars. I wish you much success with all my heart ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wrote this 4 years ago. Back then I was one of the first people to rate you. Since then I have been with you many times. Today I was really disappointed. I sat outside with a friend, near the bike path A few minutes later 4 people came. They sat closer to the restaurant. A waitress came and gave them the menus and then came back a few minutes later to take the order. There was no one with us. Then a second person came out and went to a woman who was sitting at our level, two tables away. They were talking to each other. She disappeared again without paying any attention to us. The whole time a waiter was standing in the entrance and smoking. We decided to go. Since you've always been great, I went in. Both waitresses stood at the bar and chatted. I said to the waitress who was probably responsible for our area, the smaller of the two, that we would also have liked to order and that her colleague had already taken the orders of the people at the next table, but they only came after us. She said sorry, she will come soon. I'm like, no, we're going. Apparently they don't want to make money. WE WENT TO THE VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT MY-DA GARDEN NEXT DOOR. We got the food at the same time as the 4 people sitting with them. Our meal at MY-DA GARDEN was super tasty, the portions were large and it was cheaper than with them. Because that had already bothered me on my last visit. Portions smaller but price more expensive. I corrected the stars. Service ZERO STARS❗️ I'll probably change restaurants.

Unfortunately the quality is below average. They also tried to rip us off. We were quoted an amount of 37.50 per person. When we asked, we received the bill. 70.10 divided by 2 doesn't equal 37.50 per person for me.... Definitely request an invoice.

Average Vietnamese, the sauce for the curry was a bit thin and watery, and the bowl had a bit too much meat. Plus point: large outdoor area. Food comes quickly.

Super fast and friendly service, drinks and food came almost immediately after ordering. The selection of vegan dishes is very large. Our dishes were very tasty, well seasoned and the portions were large.

Super delicious food and great service! Clear recommendation

Every person who visits Cologne or lives there or nearby must have eaten here. It is my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Cologne. Every time we leave this restaurant happy and extremely satisfied. The food and drink is delicious, the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the prices are absolutely affordable and reasonable. An absolute heartfelt recommendation. 🫶🏼

My friend and I had dinner here for great value for money. I ate number 53, Banh Canh Hap Udon Xao with chicken, and my friend ordered Corm Dau Phong with duck. Both highly recommended! The condition was super friendly! Everything went well,

Some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in my life. This food was served within 3 minutes of ordering and somehow looked and tasted entirely fresh. The beer selection is good and the sweetened fruit drinks are amazing. The staff is attentive and friendly. I can’t recommend this spot enough!

To eat: I ordered the Pho. Whether it was beef or chicken, both were simply TOP. For me, this is the best Pho I've eaten in Germany so far. If you wish, fresh chillies will also be brought to you. About the service: The food arrived quicker than expected. TOP service!

Great food. Huge selection of food. Toilets clean. I'm going there again.

Eternal waiting - unfriendly service Unfortunately we had to wait almost an hour for our order to arrive. Our drinks came after 50 minutes, the food after 55 minutes. No sorry - nothing. Because of the enormous waiting time, we decided against giving a tip and the waitress behaved indignantly. For this reason we cannot recommend a visit to Maison Sen - there are alternatives next door.

Everything was great and delicious 😋 gladly again

From my many visitors, I can report that the food is very tasty, and I can particularly recommend the Pho. Plus, everything comes to the table very quickly and you can pay quickly too. So ideal for the lunch break :-)

Great if you want to eat something quickly somewhere. The dishes are tasty but not exceptional either... unfortunately my duck still had some gristle in some places and the curry could have been a bit spicier for my taste. Great for vegetarians as many dishes are made with tofu instead of meat.

Tasteless food, nothing authentic about it (very blend!). They don’t know how to serve a Diet Coke - there was no gas in it and they didn’t give me a new one. And you can only pay by cash. Also, it took 20 minutes to had out the bill. I don’t believe that this joint is owned by entrepreneurs with the right intentions.

My son and I spontaneously ate a Pho and a Wantan soup. Absolutely great. 10/10. It went quickly even though it was quite full. Maybe the best Vietnamese in Cologne.

There are so many customers, they all probably come because of the food! There are many meal options, with descriptions in English and German. If you feel stressed, you can refer to other people's reviews first. We ordered fried shrimp pho and mango shrimp curry with mango juice and lemongrass citrus peach tea. The food is great, the juice is normal, and the tea is delicious! It is highly recommended to come for a meal~

Very tasty and absolutely inexpensive! For me, the older generation (60), a bit noisy outside in parts, but a good atmosphere and an absolute recommendation!

Very tasty and authentic Vietnamese cuisine and very friendly staff.

The food is great, fresh, tasty and well prepared. The service was also very nice and attentive.

Delicious food! I can recommend the 50e! Starters were also very tasty

Spontaneously got a table outside, was served super quickly, absolutely delicious food and not too expensive. Everything perfect!

I am really excited! The dishes have a special flavor and are sophisticated. Super fresh, great vegan selection and simply delicious!

Cute restaurant and excellent food. The prices are good. The service was nice. Unfortunately no card payment is possible (yet). Still worth a visit if you're in the city and want to eat good Asian cuisine 👍🏻

Top Vietnamese restaurant in Cologne city center. Very tasty dishes, everything very fresh, whether with or without meat. The price level is right and the service is very good. Full recommendation.

We are in 2024. “We don’t have a device. That’s why no card.” That can’t be the case. Sorry.

Wow. What a delicious meal in a great atmosphere! We did some searching and found this restaurant and it was so worth it! Many thanks to the entire team!

Nice service - friendly and accommodating - very nice. But: unfortunately the food is just poor. Cold, watery and not that tasty.

Delicious food at unbeatable prices; The summer rolls are particularly recommended! Service friendly and quick. People like to come back here.

Good food, good service, nice staff, I can only recommend it to anyone who is in the area and is hungry

Nice ambience... Super friendly staff... Delicious food... Good portions... Reasonable prices... Absolutely recommended

Discovered it by chance while shopping at Friesenplatz and was completely thrilled. A really extensive menu with an incredible selection and great vegan dishes. And that with an incredibly attractive price-performance ratio. And the best thing: they advertise “Vietnamese street food” and they are just as fast. Two super tasty, hot and beautifully seasoned main courses were served just two minutes after ordering. And the shop is buzzing. Rightly so!

Delicious food and great service! 👍🏻

DELICIOUS! We tried Vietnamese cuisine for the first time and thanks to this establishment we fell in love with it. The dishes are big, the flavor combinations are amazing, the service is not intrusive and friendly. All orders are delivered very quickly, the prices are excellent👍 we returned again the next day!

Incredibly delicious! I had never encountered Vietnamese cuisine before, but this place made a huge impression on me. A must visit. The dishes are huge and everything is just gorgeous. Serving takes 10 minutes and what is important is the price, I think it’s even cheap for such delicious food.

All the food are very delicious. The staffs re friendly, the view is nice and the cost is perfect

Good value for money, sufficient quantity, tested!

It was okay but not amazing. Main dish is around 12.50€, portions could be a bit bigger, taste was also okay, but the place doesn't stand out.

The food tastes good, but the service was poor

Lots of choice of very tasty food! Very attentive employees, everything was great. And the price-performance ratio is really unbeatable 😊 large portions!

Very nice, helpful staff. Food great and fresh. Deserves the highest rating. To recommend.

Super delicious authentic Vietnamese restaurant!! Large selection of typical local specialties.

Great Vietnamese food, nice atmosphere. Amazingly cheap. Extensive menu, no card payments.

Went to the restaurant on a Friday evening and ordered the dish VN26. The food was delicious and the quantity was perfectly fine. You can't criticize the price either. Unfortunately all the seats inside were occupied but that was acceptable for a spring evening. A big compliment to the employees. Fast, friendly and authentic (Vietnamese speaking) service. Highly recommended 👍

I spontaneously decided to eat here with a friend because our restaurant was too full and it was the best decision we could have made, the food was great as was the service and the ambience is beautiful. Definitely coming back

Super delicious food with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. For two people we paid 50 euros for 2 drinks, 2 starters, 2 main courses + tip, which I think was a very good price ☀️ I've been here several times and it's my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Cologne.

Plentiful food and delicious meal, very cool ambiance and the food here is great as I've had back in USA and Vietnam.

Very nice shop, very comfortable and great food. Price is also very fair!

Everything is just right here, super tasty food, large portions, prices, ambience. In addition, the service is top. You just have to come back!

The papaya salad was super fresh and very tasty as was the curry with duck as well as the bowl and the satay skewers. Food was on the table super quickly, the service was very friendly and attentive. Top!!!!

Very tasty and cheap! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! My recommendation A2/3 from the map.

Delicious Vietnamese dishes such as curries and bowls at fair prices, drinks extremely cheap!

Very friendly, great service, nice atmosphere, food was very tasty, and the price was great. Since the portions were too big for us, they were eaten, great service

Simply great! We stopped by Maison Sen by chance and are absolutely thrilled. Very, very tasty and unusual, the salad is incorporated into the dish. Will try this privately too. Sharpness information fits the German sensibilities. Coriander is also used skillfully, something I never manage to do in my own life. Very friendly service, very quick preparation and a firework of flavors. We'll definitely be back because many dishes are in the €7-12 range and are super tasty and filling.

The food was delicious includes fresh herbs and fresh vegetables. The service was fast and good. Just don’t trust the menu about the most traditional food they are not correct 😄. Everything else was good.

We actually wanted to eat hot pot in the neighboring Kastanie, but that didn't suit us at all in terms of ambience and service... Two houses further on we went to Maison Sen as an alternative. It was packed and we didn't have a reservation, but the super friendly and committed staff were still able to offer us a large table for an hour. There was easily enough time because the food was prepared very quickly (despite the many guests). The selection on the menu is extensive and interesting. We ordered a rice pot with crispy duck and it was really crispy and delicious, as was the rice enriched with vegetables, the sauce and was visually presented with a fried egg. Although it was full and loud, we were comfortable at our table and were able to have a pleasant conversation because the stylistically successful wood and bamboo paneling was able to dampen the noise well. The “alternative” was a direct hit, we would be happy to come back.

Food was good. Cocktails delicious. Price-performance ratio fits. Nice personel. Points are deducted for the fact that card payment is not possible and the atmosphere is not that comfortable because everything is very narrow and the benches are not that comfortable and they are far away from the table.

Staff are not nice friendly, i strongly dont recommend.food taste is weird pathatic staff.

Food is good, service and customer satisfaction are unfortunately inadequate. I'm sorry, but after today's promotion, I won't eat there anymore. We ordered a dish that we always order and have been ordering for years. The owner knows us too. When we informed that we had ordered something else, the management did not want to exchange the food or give us our money back. After I asked again, we reluctantly got it back. It's a real shame, I actually always enjoyed eating there.

We had a wonderful evening here. A few Jecken were there too. The food and service were fantastic. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️🥳

Great food, nice service and nice ambience.

Great Vietnamese! The rice pot with tofu has a nice spiciness and the duck is always super crispy! Plus the mango cocktail with vodka and prosecco - wonderful Good advice from the service

Other than the music, it's a 10/10. Price-performance ratio is top.

Not possibly to pay with debit or credit card. The stuff was pushing to get cash. 💵 Unbelievable while we are living in the 2023 in Germany😐 Even paying in Asia is more advanced and customer friendly as here in this place!

The food was excellent, the service excellent and the price unbeatable. Super nice staff, even though the restaurant was packed and even with an appointment you still had to wait a bit. But it was absolutely worth it.

Simply amazing, the portions of the food are rather large, and tasty! Wont regret it! Highly recommend

Authentic ambience (music and decoration), delicious food, large portions for a low price. We spontaneously got a table in the evening. There is something on the menu for every taste, not just classic dishes but also vegetarian and non-spicy ones.

Ate and drank inexpensively for two in the early evening. The service was attentive, quick and was able to answer questions well. Recommended for a quick, delicious dinner.

That was really great! Just the thing if you want to really feast without feeling disgustingly full afterwards. The papaya salad covers every conceivable flavor nuance in a balanced way🤤 In addition, I have rarely experienced such fast, focused and friendly staff! An absolute recommendation 🥹 P.S. There is no skimping on fresh herbs here 😌

I love this place. This was my third time here and I’m so happy I got to invite friends and family to try this place. We all loved it. The food is beyond delicious - no matter what dish you order. The service is very nice and the prices are more than reasonable. According to my husband, the dishes are “American sized dish”. You won’t walk out there being hungry 😋 This is your next-to-go-to-spot in Cologne ❤️

Super delicious food and friendly staff.

Für ein schnelles Essen super, zum Verweilen läd das Restaurant allerdings nicht ein. Es stehen viele Tische auf kleiner Fläche, man sitzt am Zweiertisch beinahe auf dem Schoß des Nachbarn Das Essen war lecker, aber nichts besonderes.

Super lecker, günstig, große Portionen und schneller Service. Es war rundum ein gelungener Abend. Im Vorfeld am besten reservieren.

Leckeres Streetfood Wir waren Mittags hier. Es gibt eine Vielzahl von vietnamesischen Speisen. Das was wir ausgesucht hatten war sehr lecker. Der Service war schnell und freundlich. Die Sitzqualität läd nicht zum Verweilen ein. Man isst und geht, Streetfood eben. Es wird keine Kartenzahlung akzeptiert, nur Cash. Aber eine Bank ist gleich nebenan. Für ein schnelles, preiswertes Essen gerne wieder.

Leckeres Essen und viel Auswahl

Schönes Ambiente, super frisches und leckeres Essen, auch to Go. Nette und schnelle Bedienung ! Absolut faire Preise, leider keine Kartenzahlung möglich.

Bester Laden! Es gibt eine große Essensauswahl und schmeckt klasse. Das Pho kann ich sehr empfehlen.

Ich fasse mich kurz. Sensationell gutes Essen! Update: Heute zum zweiten Mal hier. Einfach super. Bestes vietnamesisches Essen in Köln! Danke…

I am a big fan of asian cuisine : i cook, i follow classes and i try all the restaurants. This one is really amazing, would definetly make it a regular destination if i lived in Cologne

Bestes vietnamesisches Restaurant was ich kenne!

Total leckeres Essen und das noch zu Top Preisen. Wir kommen wieder !!!

Die Lieferung über Lieferando dauerte mehr als 2 Stunden.

Super essen, sehr gute Portionen mit köstlichem Geschmack und das für 11,50€??! Bei den meisten wäre das 16€+, also wirklich einer der top Spots für Vietnamesisches Streetfood

Das Essen hat sehr lecker geschmeckt. Der Service ist aufmerksam 🙂

Nicht gut, nicht schlecht, ganz ok

Leckere Gerichte, schön angerichtet, kann man definitiv mal besuchen wenn man am Friesenplatz ist. Geschmacklich hätte ich es mir noch ein bisschen intensiver gewünscht. Aber dass ist ja individuell.

Essen kam ruckzuck und war sehr lecker. Ziemlich grosse Portionen, wir mussten uns irgendwann geschlagen geben. Die Eistees sind sehr zu empfehlen (wir hatten Passionsfrucht und Peach). Mein Mango-Chicken-Gericht wird als leicht scharf betitelt und ist wirklich nur milde scharf (ich vertrage keine Schärfe und konnte es ohne Probleme essen). Wir waren rundum zufrieden.
