Came here for dinner recently, sit wherever you want style, friendly greetings and such. Nice little Thai/SE Asia look to the place, comfy setting and pretty cool looking in my book. Menu looked good, didn't know what to choose, do I want soup or do I want stir fry? We decided that each one of us would get one or the other so we don't double up here. We ordered the Guay Tiow Khaek, it's a coconut curry noodle soup with seafood such as shrimp, fish, scallops, some veg, and delicious wheat noodles. It was very flavorful, coconut curry hit the spot on a cold evening, few drops of chili oil for a little spice was perfect. Damn it was good! Also, we ordered the stir fry noodle dish Guay Tiow Kuar w/ Kai(chicken). Oh my.....this was oh so good!!!! Wide rice noodles are my fave! Stir fried up, with some egg and light soy, simple but so delish! They throw in some bean sprouts and green leaf lettuce at the last few seconds so the veg is still crisp but warmed up just enough where it's cooked. It was so perfect and I really enjoyed this. You can have the option of tofu or chicken, I believe any meat you choose, it's going to be minced style in your dish, I think it says it on the menu. Oh, the Thai Iced Tea was delicious, comes in a little mason jar if you into that kind of stuff. The staff was nice, friendly and helpful, came by to check on you, ask you how the food is etc. Quick on clearing dishes and getting your bill when you ready. Prices seem to be a little high but I was satisfied with my meal. Timing of the dishes came out separately, a good 5 mins apart, so that was a little off. I believe they may be related to Pestle Rock next door. Anyways, I really enjoyed our dinner and everything tasted delightfully wonderful. Great Ballard spot to check out and can't wait to come by again! read more

Amazing food with super unique and complex flavors! Portion size is a bit small so recommend picking out some appetizers or desserts if you come hungry Guay Jub and Boat Noodles are my fav! One of my top 10 fav restaurants in Seattle - can't wait to try more of the huge menu! read more

Liked this place - my husband tried a noodle soup that he'd never tried before and loved the unique flavors. I tried pad see ew and really liked it. I got the seafood pad see ew - wouldn't recommend as it had a single scallop, a single shrimp and some cod (although the fish was really good in it). The ambiance wasn't quite what we expected. We were going out for a nice date night and this is more casual date night/lunch with friends type place. That being said, they do serve beer and the food was good. Just an FYI if you're looking for somethign a bit fancier. read more

Outstanding food. We just visited and I'm already thinking of going back there! I had the Guay Tiow Kuar and my partner had the Guay Jub. I have not had such fantastic Guay Tiow Kuar since my visit to Singapore in 2015. The dish (including the noodles) was so flavorful and the noodles were just the right level of al dente/softness without being mushy. The service was also fantastic - super responsive. We didn't love the Guay Jub as much, not because it wasn't a great dish but just because it wasn't quite our palate. But the broth was rich and flavorful and the meat was done just right. read more

I was torn to write a review but I decided to do it anyway. First off I need to start by saying the staff was lovely and nothing to complain about. The place it self is small and cute inside. We had plans to go to another restaurant but the line was out the door. We really wanted ramen/soup so we ended up here. I didn't look up the reviews before we stepped inside and after we left I couldn't believe how many great reviews they had. We ordered two soups and one was on their specialty menu so I thought it has to be good. I got the BA MEE GIOW MUU DANG It was a disappointment and the soup had zero flavor and it was so bland. I kept eating it thinking it would change. I don't waste food so I ate it all anyway. My husband built his own and it was so overloaded with peanuts and the broth was strange. It was supposed to be spicy was it was overly sweet. I could t pinpoint what was wrong with it. I don't like giving bad reviews but we kept talking about it hours later and how it wasn't up to our expectations. They have to be doing something right cause the to go orders were slammed. Maybe we need to try something other than their soup. read more

From a spontaneous visit to a regular dinner food spot, Sen Noodle Bar is here to stay in my life. Whether it's the soup noodles, dry noodles, or rice, this place cools each dish with care and utmost flavor. The lamb fried rice is my boyfriend's absolute favorite, and I'm very psrtial to the chicken flat noodles. Service is always pleasant, even during the hard times of quarantine. read more

Came here late last Thursday with a friend after a tea workshop at Miro on a rainy evening. We knew we wanted something comforting to warm is up. We started with the SPICY CORN PATTIES Deep-fried sweet white corn, chili paste , and lime leaf blended with a tempura batter. Whenever corn fritters are on a menu my friend has to order them. Served with sweet chili dipping sauce. They came out nice and crispy and temperature hot with a spicy sauce. My friend had BA MEE GIOW MUU DANG Carlton Farms ground pork dumplings, egg noodles, bean sprouts, onion, cilantro, house-made barbecue pork in a clear broth, and I had GUAY JUB Rolled rice noodles, pork spare ribs, tofu, boiled egg, bean sprouts, onion, and cilantro in five-spice broth. I really enjoyed my dish it had a nice kick to eat and the rolled noodles and five spice were a nice change from the usual. The pork was soft and the bean sprouts added great texture. Don't know what took me so long to go yo this place in my neighborhood! Can't wait to go back. read more

Came here on a Friday night after a workout for a date night. This is a Thai restaurant where you wouldn't really expect much but this place was SO GOOD! For dinner, we ordered the phad kee mao (5/5) (wide rice noodles, tofu, egg, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes), Lamb fried rice (5/5) which came with the soup - it was so delicious! It was the best tasting minced lamb fried rice I've ever had! For dessert, we got the black rice pudding with coconut ice cream served with cream. OMG this was Amazeballs. It was soo good! Server was friendly and attentive, he checked in on us to see how we were doing. Hands down, would come here to dine-in or order takeout...Yep, it was that good! read more

Love the noodle soup. I have only done takeout. They are really fast and friendly. I think it's a little pricy, so I don't order as often as I would otherwise. read more

After a Swanson's nursery gardening pick up, we decided to patronize a local Ballard restaurant. Since we're in this COVID-19 take out only situation, we walked up and down Market street to check out our options. Sen Noodle has excellent Yelp reviews and a friendly storefront so we decided to give it a try. Owner donned a friendly pink mask and took our order for taro spring rolls, a chicken stir fry noodle dish and a tofu curry stir fry noodle. I love taro but these spring rolls didn't show that flavor or texture off. The noodles dishes were tasty even after a half hour drive to get home. For take out the food was good and the service was very nice. Didn't take photos as we were really hungry and food in a box never looks that great. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening with a group of friends. The host and server are not the most friendliest people in Seattle for sure. While the quality of food is great, the quantity not so much. I ordered the Pad See Ew and the quantity was half of what you would get in other Thai restaurants all over Seattle. If I am paying 16$+ for an entree, I would expect a whole plate of food. Sadly the server was unapologetic about it and I left the meal more hungry than I came in. Overall I wouldn't come back again unless the portion sizes increase. read more

Delicious food and really nice service. They are always so friendly. The Ba miu goaw muu dang is my favorite.

Pleasently impressed by Sen Noodle Bar! Perfect location in Ballard. Walking in, the atmosphere was cute and cozy. I loved the string lights on the ceiling! We were seated right away on a Friday night. We ordered the bbq pork soup noodle (ba mee giow muu dang) and the monk's noodle. Both were so flavorful with fresh ingredients! I really liked the variety on the menu and the vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options! It is impressive how they can make vegetarian food so tasty!! We also ordered the roti appetizer. The chickpea curry was delicious. However, the roti could be more fluffy and flaky. Overall, very impressed with the ambiance and food options! Would definitely come again! read more

The Suki Hang stir fried bean noodles are so good!! Guay Tiow Khaek is good too with dry wheat noodle in sauce that "cooks" the noodle. I'm not Thai but I eat a lot of Thai food and this place was by far had the most unique and authentic flavors. Portions aren't the typical enormous amounts but that's okay because you can order other flavors/dishes! Great service! The bathroom has red lights! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat read more

When I saw this new restaurant I bookmarked it. Made it up to Ballard during the gorgeous weekend we recently had and enjoyed the experience! It's a cute little place with charm, friendly staff, and good noodles. Lunch started off with thai iced coffee and plantain chips. The plantains were delicious, oh so good. The sweet and salty glaze made these chips extra special, a little sticky too. My entrée was roasted duck soup with wide rice noodles. The slices of duck were tender and melted in my mouth. The broth was just right, not too salty for my taste. Go up to Ballard and give this place a try. Hope you enjoy! read more

Just read yesterday that Bangkok plans a major revamp of the 'street food scene'. Oh well, in the meantime, I finally had the chance to checkout Sen Noodle Bar this evening. Seattle's Ballard neighborhood was hopping on this particular Friday after a glorious sunny day. Lots of pedestrian activity and outdoor seating walking along Market. Entering Sen Noodle Bar, this site had a pleasant interior, lots of seating options, and fairly busy at 9pm. Some of my favorite Thai Street Eats include next door's Pestle Rock, Portland's Pok Pok, North Seattle's Pop Pop, and Lynnwood's Isarn. A good sign was how friendly the restaurant staff was and how fragrant the place was. The bag handed to me was hot and emitting a tantalizing smell as I walked back to my car and drove back home to Shoreline. My takeout order included two orders of Ayam Mekayu ($8 each) which were deep fried marinated chicken wings. Crisp and flavorful atop sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and julienned carrots. I also ordered some Spicy Giow ($8) which were generous wontons filled with ground pork, fresh ginger and garlic, topped with a spicy chili sauce and chopped peanuts. The third item was one of their noodle soups, Ba Mee Giow Muu Dang ($12) which had Carlton Farms ground pork dumplings, barbeque pork slices, egg noodles, bean sprouts, onion, cilantro, carrots, and baby bok choy with a clear broth (kind of flavored like corn). Very generous that I was able to split this order at home. All items easily fed three people. Delicious and worth the drive for a late Friday takeout dinner! read more

Delicious food! It was so flavorful. We both got noodles, although I don't remember which ones... The service was great and we received our food quickly, which we appreciated, since we went here during our lunch hour. There isn't much parking since it's on the main street, but if you can park a couple blocks away, that might be your best bet. read more

We decided to try this restaurant when walking by randomly today and...wow!!! Super impressive!! Both the food and service were great and food were served fast. I was looking for hainanese chicken (saw it on Yelp) but couldn't find it on the menu so I asked the waiter directly and it turned out it was a special written on the board. The chicken was tender and went well with their sauce. We also ordered the curry noodle (Guay Tiow Kheak) and was also amazed by it. A combination of nice portion shrimp, fish and scallop, coconut milk based soup that tasted like laksa and was rich with a hint of sourness, plus thick noodles well-cooked all together composed this dish that I would order again next time coming in. read more

This place is top tier! I loved the 7 spice beef ramen I got and finished with delicious mango sticky rice! It's cute and fun. Not a date night place but great for friends and small gatherings (3-5 people). read more

Good quality ingredients. Vegetables were fresh. We appreciated the locally sourced ingredients. However, we were woefully disappointed by the lack of spice and heat. There was no option for the spice level for online order. Spice is one of the best things about Thai food! We have learned that many PNW folks don't like spice, but the population has changed. Kick it up, and the people will come! Next time, we will bring our own Thai chili sauce. read more

Cute cafe vibe, love the food here. The portion size is a bit small, I would suggest to order atleast one dish per person. Great service! Loved their boat noodles, guay tiow kuar and sesame peanut noodles read more

it was okay. the food was alright and the wait time was a bit long. but overall for a quick snack it was good.

Delicious Thai food! Everything I've tried here is great, though my go to Thai is always pad see eww and they definitely do this one well. Friendly staff too -- the waiter heard one of my party didn't eat dairy during dessert and brought over a dairy free coconut popsicle on the House! read more

After attempting to go to "Sushi I" across the street and seeing it was closed we ran across the street to the closest open place. The ambience is nice. Yellow Christmas lights strewn overhead. Small, quiet, little spot. I ordered the lemongrass curry and my friend got the spicy noodles and we shared the spicy giow. Best noodles I've ever had in my life. Would highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

This place was amazing! I want even that hungry but ended up eating my entire dish! I got the noodle soup with clear broth and pork because I saw some other people post about it online and it looked really good.. and it ended up tasting really good! We were kinda excited una rush, we only had about 30-40 minutes to order and eat and the waiter was super fast and very friendly! It was so good, everyone that I was with had previously lived in Seattle and was shocked that they had never gone there so they were thankful that my tourist eye caught it! Definitely worth checking out!! read more

Came here for a noodle soup and I was underwhelmed. There was very little veggies and meat and the broth was not very flavorful. However, service was quick and it's in a great location in central Ballard. However, according to a sign on their register they do not accommodate allergies so do not come here if you or anyone with you has any allergies. read more

Delicious food and kind, quick service. I loved the pork dumpling soup-it was just what I needed on a cold day. They are equipped for kids - boosters and high chairs plus a bathroom with a changing table and spare diapers if you need one. We will definitely be back! read more

We were looking for pho... but with Big Bowl gone we were lost. So I starting looking for soup generally and I can't across the reviews for this restaurant. So I looked to see, are people reviewing Asian? Seemed like there were Asians giving a good reference. So we decided to try it. And wow! I'm so glad we did. Everything we got was amazing. And my daughter who is super picky even said the soup is better than pho. Low and behold, I tasted her soup and she was right, the vegetarian soup was very tasty. I got fresh rolls and the ginger chicken and both were great. And my husband got the pud se ew with chicken and he loved it. We can't wait to try more things. read more

Gave this place a second chance because of the high reviews but I don't think there will be a third time. The noodles have no flavor, no char. It feels like noodles and sauce cooked separately and combined in a plate. The pratha was not pratha. It was pita bread cut in triangles with a side of curry paste. That was confusing. Prata is flaky, thin layered, fried Indian flatbread that is served with chicken curry with potatoes. This was pita and hummus. I literally don't know why it's rated higher than Thai Thani or Secret Savory - both are superior Thai food in Ballard. read more

Highly recommend!! The team here is amazing and so is the food. We got family style takeout, and the favorites were the Pad See Ew with beef (so flavorful! Perfectly done, miles better than lots of its local competitors), the lemongrass curry noodle (Light with plenty of flavor, and it's vegan too for those who are into that), and the yam rolls. read more

I wanted to like this little restaurant, but I really couldn't. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere small and pleasant ... but the food came up short. We got noodles in broth with duck - and while the duck was good, and the noodles fine, the broth was way too salty. We also got the spicy noodles with tofu - that was a really terrible dish - the medium-wide noodles were just slathered in a spicy-sweet sauce - the spice part was good, but the incredible amount of sugar in the sauce was not - it was like old-fashioned cheap pink sweet and sour pork sauce from poor quality Chinese restaurants of the 1960s - but substitute spicy for the sour -- in short, a cloyingly sweet sauce that completely drowned the noodles. I'm sure some of their dishes are good - but I won't be back to find out which - at $30 for lunch for two, I've got better things to spend my time and money on. read more

Amazing food! We had the Lemongrass noodles and Tumeric Coconut noodle bowl. Super healthy and flavorful

Atmosphere was lovely, great ambiance. Food was tasty for how much you over pay.. Portion was way less than ideal, personally I'd compare it to a nice expensive snack instead of a full meal. I'd give it a better review but they also got my order wrong twice :( read more

Food was just ok. Nothing special. Pad kee mao is one of my personal favorites and it was heavy on the fish sauce. No kid friendly optionals all. Half portion? No...kids menu? No... Wine selection was meh too. read more

Decent food. Cute atmosphere. We were the first ones there at noon and by the time we left the place was practically full! I tried a noodle dish called monks noodles, which was okay, nothing special. My friends ordered the coconut turmeric soup and loved it! read more
