  | Randwick | La sen | With summer right at our doorsteps, Ive lately been craving to have vietnamese food. This place is just perfect for me with lots of parking with 3 hour limits. Upon visiting this restaurant, Ive noticed that this place had lunch special and caters to corporate functions which was perfect. Lots of indoor seating, the staff were quite friendly. More importantly the menu was extensive and had lots of delicious options…Crispy Pork Belly Baos – It was a sweet and savoury taste on first bite, Ive noticed sweet caramelised onions and nice meaty pork belly inside which tasted quite fresh, fragrant and delicious. Cant get enough of this, I just had to order more..Pho Tai (Rare Beef Soup) – What can I say, this has been my favourite classic of mine. The broth tasted beefy nice and clear, noodles were silky, the beef was quite tender and delicious. Side beans sprout, basil and lemons were included which I had to throw in while ate down this bowl of goodness..Grilled Sugarcane Prawn Paste Rolls – This was so delicious, had nice soft noodles and juicy prawns..Vermicelli bowl (La Sen All in One) – Beautiful bowl with lots of flavour, strong fish sauce taste and taste sweet as well, had nicley fried pork and spring rolls. Another classic favourite vietnamese dish of mine..Watermelon Drink – Tasted fresh, crushed watermelon and sweet flavour profile..Coconut lime – Has a strong lime and coconut flavour undertones, with pulp..An instant favourite go to for Vietnamese food to satisfy your hunger if you live locally. Thank you Lasenrestaurant.

  FRESH FLAVOURS THAT PACK A PUNCH ..: I only started eating vietnamese food like less than 3 years ago.. like wow and why right?! Growing up in the Gold Coast, Vietnamese cuisine wasnt that prominent and so I never thought of trying it until my friend introduced me to the vermicelli noodle salad bowls, and Ive been hooked ever since! So when I went to @lasenrestaurant I knew that this is the bowl I needed to order and it surely did not disappoint! This cosy but spacious spot in Randwick is convenient with ample parking (3 hours) nearby and close public transport. The staff were friendly and offered lovely service .. summer rice paper rolls (prawn & lean pork + grilled sugarcane prawn paste): so fresh and packed to the brim. favourite bun (crispy pork belly): the pork was very crispy and a nice surprise was the caramelised onion, so yummy!. pho tai (rare beef): you could tell that the broth was slow cooked fresh and the beef was so tender! I normally dont like pho because of the tendon, but this was clear of that and was tasty!. bun tron (la sen all in one): sugarcane prawn, pork skewers, spring rolls, grilled pork meat! Seriously so many toppings and what stands out from all the other bowls Ive had, is the generous of size and amount of fresh veggies which I love. A perfect summer dish, and I would happily come back just to enjoy this dish again!. watermelon crush: this also has lychee and was so refreshing. coconut lime crush: the lime flavour stood over and there was fresh coconut flesh blended through, was not overly sweet. ..Thank you @lasenrestaurant x @omptymedia for the invite! ..#LaSenRestaurant #ChaoCatering

  For fresh, tasty and traditional Vietnamese food in Randwick, a visit to La Sen is a must! Even before walking into this restaurant I could smell the aroma of delicious Vietnamese flavours such as grilled meats and aromatic herbs as I was approaching. You can order take away and there is a decent amount of seating inside the restaurant.The extensive menu contains all of your favourite dishes from spring rolls and summer rolls for starters, a range of fresh salads, stir fries, everyones favourite noodle pho and my favourite – the vermicelli bun salads. We ordered the following dishes: All in One vermicelli bun salad – this was topped with an assortment of sugarcane prawn, pork skewers, pork spring rolls and grilled pork. Underneath was fresh vermicelli tossed in a tangy garlic fish sauce with lettuce, cucumber and pickled salad. Topped with saute’ spring onions, roasted peanuts, shallots and fresh herbs. This was a winner, I often cant choose which option and this was perfect as there was a little bit of everything to try. Vietnamese green papaya salad – delicately tossed with prawns, sliced pork, pickled salad, onions, green apple, fresh herbs and roasted peanuts. Served with prawn crackers. Loved the fresh, crunchy flavours of this aromatic dish.Minced pork and mushroom (Ban Cuon) – steamed rice noodle roll with a delicious filling inside served with homemade tangy fish sauce. The outside rice noodle roll was soft and delicate. I havent had this dish in ages, it certainly satisfied all cravings.Summer Rice Paper Rolls with sugar cane prawns – served with La Sen homemade peanut hoisin sauce. Loved the dipping sauce and the fresh, healthy ingredients inside the paper rolls.There is also a decent drinks list, from beers, soft drinks, crushed ice drinks (we had the watermelon crush, very refreshing!) and of course, the Vietnamese iced coffee. Overall, a tasty experience at La Sen, Im keen to try the pho noodle soup and other dishes off the menu. La Sen also offering catering for corporate parties and events.Thank you to the staff at La Sen for looking after us.Note: I dined as a guest of the restaurant. All views and opinions are my own.
