"Hoa Sen doesn’t have flashy furniture, nor does it have a jazzy neon-lit bar. The Vietnamese restaurant in Covent Garden is the equivalent of Gogglebox: comforting, consistently good, and as enjoyable alone as it is with your family. There are all the classics—phở, magnificent summer rolls, tenderly grilled quail—and plenty of room for groups big and small who are after a big-ish deal birthday around central London." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna
