Authentic Vietnameses food all you can eat. Must go there if travel in Hanoi. Good food with affordable price. Recomend to go during weekdays.
Khu Văn hoá ẩm thực Sen Tây Hồ is honestly one of the biggest buffet places I've ever been to in Hanoi. The whole area is huge and feels more like a complex than just a restaurant, with different dining spaces and a really grand setup. When I went, I actually got a bit lost trying to find my way back to my table after picking food 😅. The buffet has almost everything you can think of: seafood, grilled dishes, hot meals, desserts, fruits and even international-style food. What I like is that there are so many choices that people from different backgrounds and even different dietary preferences can find something to eat. The decoration is really impressive tho, both inside and outside. Everything feels well-designed and honestly it's a very photogenic place. If you enjoy taking photos, especially for social media, there are a lot of nice spots and food setups that look very professional. It's also very busy but still organized, and the overall atmosphere feels lively but not chaotic. it's a place I'd recommend if you want a big buffet experience.. you might lose your way a little inside 😁😄
I made a reservation through Facebook on the same day for lunch for one person. The staff assisted me and guided me to my table upon arrival. The place is quite spacious and not noisy, probably because I visited during lunchtime. The buffet offers a wide variety of food choice, some dishes are good, some are just average. But that’s expected with a buffet. Overall, I would say it’s still worth the price.
Looking for a venue for any occasions whatsoever? You're in luck cause Sen Tây Hồ truely does it all. Upscale birthday party for socialites? Settled. Outdoor wedding venue with indoor dining? You're in good hands. Buffet lines so long you can actually rollerblade around the place to find the exact same item 1500m from the other one. Yes it's really big. One of the biggest function places in Hanoi being as old as history itself, serving up the best and long-lasting buffet lines in Vietnam. Honestly I don't know how they keep making it despite having so many large locations but I am not going to complain. This place is very nostalgic for a lot of Hanoians and for me I already spent 20 years of my life thinking about going back to this place by now. Grab your family, go to Maison Sen, have some ice cream or anything on the wayback. Great weekend.
Last visit to Hanoi I went there twice. I loved the selection of seafood. Everything was delicious and so many choices. The yard out side the restaurant is beautiful. Fish ponds nice count yard and benches. I would recommend this and I will return again when in Hanoi
