    Super nice mom and pop shop in Ballard. I think this place is definitely a hidden gem. They have a wide selection of noodles and appetizers. I love how a lot of their dishes are things that you can't really find at other noodle shops. I highly enjoyed the lamb noodles (forgot the actual name) it was full of flavor and the greens made it less heavy. I also recommend the salad, it was refreshing and crunchy perfect on a hot summer day.

    Ballard seriously has some of the best food in Seattle and Sen Noodle is def one of them. This place hits just right! My friends and I shared the Ginger Chicken, Lemongrass Curry Noodles and Turmeric Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup. Honestly every dish hit the spot. But Lemongrass Curry Noodles was my favorite. Veggies and tofu had soaked up the flavor of lemongrass so well. It was light and hearty at the same time. Also the ginger chicken wasnt very overpowering with ginger which was perfect. The Turmeric Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup had a bit of a earthy, peppery flavor which was unique too. Basically food here is 5/5 and so was the ambiance and the service! The prices are standard between $20-25 for the Ballard area! I highly recommend for the amazing flavors!

    Curry Lamb Pan Mee

    If you're looking for a noodle fix and live close to Ballard, Sen is an easy choice. They will whip you up something in less than 10 minutes, and it will be better than most of the other noodle spots in the immediate area. The lamb curry noodles were unlike anything I've ever tasted before. The lamb itself is so flavorful and rich on its own, and then they put these little crispy boi sardines off to the side which adds even more saltiness. If you mix everything together, it actually creates a wonderful contrast. And then BOOM and egg appears into the mix, because why not?! If you LOVE SOME SALT, this dish will be outstanding to you. However, if you're having some blood pressure issues - stay away! I thought it was fantastic, but it definitely becomes heavy after a while. Having a fresh roll on the side can add in a much needed respite. Staff was nice and friendly, also ruthlessly efficient. I think that's necessary for any restaurant that's small and packed on a random weeknight. Great work, Sen.

    What an amazing place to get not only Thai desserts but Thai noodles! They have a wide range of soups, stirfry, dry noodle soups. Super friendly service and great vibe. Their Thai tea was very good too. I highly recommend this place and would come back.

    Turmeric Coconut Noodle Soup and duck five spice noodle soup

    Love love this spot. We go there for authentic Thai noodle dishes you cannot find else where. Our go to is the turmeric noodles with tofu and the duck noodle soup. It's accompanied by the spice rack of chilis and sauces. The service is so sweet and warm always welcoming us with great energy. The servers are always so attentive asking if we need more water or anything else to make our experience better. The restaurant itself is small and gives an authentic Thai restaurant vibe. The bathroom is dark and red but great for babies because there is a full on changing table with necessities in case you need it. Parking is rough street parking with high rates throughout the day.

    The Mee Boran Noodles are my favorite dish in all of Seattle. Incredible. The perfect balance of creamy, tangy, crunchy and chewy. I think about this place and this dish way too much. If I could rate it 10 stars I would. The staff is SO FRIENDLY too and the food always comes out super fast. They make everything basically in front of you.

    Lamb-Curry Fried Rice
    Tammy H.

    Friendly service, and relaxed vibes. Both dishes were pretty decent, but I felt the lamb fried rice was missing...more meat? The flavor was really great but there was barely any meat to be found for a dish charged extra high. Noodle soup was good, pretty salty but still light. Portions were really good, we ate for two and had leftovers after.

    Phad Thai
    Morgan H.

    *CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW quite the list of GF options with a knowledgeable staff. they prepare GF items separately and take great caution with allergy meals. we got the phad thai, turmeric coconut noodle soup, and the lamb udon special - subbed out for GF noodles. Everything was phenomenal and very flavorful! We ended with some sticky rice pudding with mango. We also shared a Thai iced coffee and I really enjoyed that as well. I did not get sick!

    Sister restaurant to Pestle Rock next door which is also one of my favorite original Isan Thai style restaurants in Seattle. I was at the Ballard Farmers Market last weekend and had cravings for noodle soup. I was surprisingly happy that Sen Noodle Bar is still open all these recent years. I used to live in Ballard and it was one of my favorites. While they serve other dishes, I'm here to rave about their variety of noodle soups. My favorite go-to after all these years is still the Tom Yum or Seven-Spiced Beef soups under the customizable section. Yes, you can build your own noodle soup - pick your own broth/protein and noodles. The flavors are so rich and flavorful. The size is perfect and inflation hasn't done too much damage since 8 years ago. The staff are super friendly and there's outdoor seats so you can bring your pooch too. This place is a true hidden gem. It's been around and there is something still very special about it. New places may open up, get picked up by influencers in competition for the newest and trendiest, but those places lacks the charm and depths of these places. If you want a cozy and laid back place to eat in Ballard, come here!

    The food the service was all amazing. It was nice having so many vegetarian options that are different than the typical Thai options. We got this delicious spinach noodle with lemongrass, tofu, spicy, and boat noodle, and mango sticky rice and everything was AMAZING

The noodles were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. They do spicy on a scale through five, we opted for four out of five for the noodles, I thought we could've gone even one spice level higher. For the curry, we did three out of five, and definitely could've done a spice level higher. The spice scale is definitely catered toward people who like less spicy food, so rest assured three or four is still fairly mild in spice. The quantity of the curry was actually quite small, however, the presentation was beautiful. It was also delicious in taste. Ambience: The restaurant is very ethnic and beautifully decorated. It is a great date spot. It's very clean, and food came out quickly. Service: Our server was incredibly professional and very polite. He gave great suggestions. I really appreciated that he went out of his way and got the spice jars for us to adjust the spice level of our food. Something else that I always give credit for is that they pack up any leftover food that you have. Phenomenal service.

We scanned the electronic menu at the front, ordered, then got water at the self-serve station. We beat the lunch crowd so we had plenty of tables to choose from. The bright and cheery decor had nice ambiance and the staff were friendly and welcoming. My hubs ordered the Khao Soi Chiang Mai, one of his favorite dishes to order at a Thai restaurant. It was huge and came in a big, wide bowl. He enjoyed the flavor of the yellow curry and building heat of this dish. Make sure to get a steak knife at the front counter so you can cut the meat from the chicken drumstick (if you're not biting into it). Also, if you are a spice lightweight like me, this is not your dish. But if you enjoy spice and curries, you will enjoy this dish. I got the E-Jae House Noodle with chicken and no egg. Wow, their handmade rice noodles were amazing! So soft, tender, and kinda ropey. I loved the texture and taste of this dish. The sauce was light and complimented the noodles, chicken, green onions, and cilantro. It's so great to eat a restaurant dish that isn't too salty or saucy! It comes with a side of chili sauce which I didn't use, but if you like spice, I am sure it was good. We ended our meal by sharing a small order of the Mango Sticky Rice. It was delightful. The mango was perfectly ripe, the sticky rice was delicious, and it was topped with little crispies which we found out later was fried mung beans. A great ending to a great meal. We will definitely be back!
