Passorn - Edinburgh

I had my husband call to make a reservation as we were a group of 6. I gave him the phone number listed. It never occurred to me that he would be calling a new place. We arrived expecting to eat Thai food. But to our surprise the Thai restaurant had permanently closed and in its place was a Vegan Vietnamese restaurant. We stayed being late and hungry. My husband normally doesn’t care for Vietnamese however we were all pleasantly surprised that a group of overall meat eaters enjoyed the meal. The new restaurant is called Sen Veit Vegan.

Having come here since they opened many years ago, the food is consistently excellent. The owner Cindy runs a great team. She’s always in charge to make sure the quality and service is there. It’s been a fabulous local restaurant over the years. Cindy gives 100% to ensuring the best quality produce, cooking and service. Unfortunately, she’s leaving shortly. Leaving Edinburgh and moving away. A sad loss for us regulars. But wish her all the best in her new chapter of life with her husband Ian. Many thanks for the great food. X

I see many reviews here complaining of poor service. We certainly did not experience that at all. The Thai tradition does not entail effusive chatter and fake smiles. But what we got was a warm welcome and professional service without hassle or complaint. Our food was delicious and was prepared with a proper amount of spiciness. Dishes here trend toward the spicy end of the scale, where mild has some heat and medium might pass for hot in other places. This is not like many Asian restaurants that have menus that go on for days. The selections are well thought out and far fewer in number. The locals we were visiting highly recommended this place to us and we can see why.

Avoid this restaurant by far the worst experience I have ever had. The manager is horrible with a terrible attitude and I'm shocked the restaurant is still in business.

Recommended by friends we popped by on a rare child free night. Wish we had stayed home. A luke warm welcome should she be sent the arm bells off but we persevered. Mediocre satay with smiling servers belied the hand of hell the owner bestowed on these poor souls. Terrified out of their wits we saw bullying and fear in their eyes. Mediocre food that we should have left and despite its busiest feel left me cold beyond belief. It’s not ok to charge £60 for a couple of bowls of tasteless slop, abuse your staff in front of our eyes and think it’s ok. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
