I made an 8pm reservation just before 4pm. I received confirmation but when I arrived at 7:50, the restaurant had not seen my reservation and not reserved us a table. We were seated at 8:20. Usually not a big deal, but we were then arriving later than we wanted at our event. Everyone was nice, and helpful, and the food was great. We will gladly return but recommend better notification of staff when reservations are made same-day. Thanks.

The service was terrific - half our party was delayed and the server was super-understanding, also attentive to our preferences (one order was no-cilantro and indeed, no cilantro appeared). Apps were great, especially the thai fries. The drunken noodles were terrific but the duck was dry. We'll come back - but maybe not order the duck.

Hi! The food here was fantastic per usual except I tried an appetizer I’ve never had before and it was not worth the $15 (pork rolls- super super skinny with almost no filling in them). Everything else for price with food quality and quantity was top notch! We also ordered our appetizers with our drinks- 15 minutes later our waitress came back to take our main course order. 15 minutes after that our main courses came yet we had not received our appetizers. I asked about it and the waitress looked confused and said there was a glitch in the system for 30 seconds that canceled a lot of orders so she would check on the appetizers. We got them well after we were done with dinner.

The crab Rangoon was absolutely fantastic! The fried rice was just ok. Not nearly as flavorful as at our 2 usual take out Thai places. I was a bit disappointed. Our waitress was fantastic but I can’t help miss Jon who was the best waiter ever. He knew every dish to get or not. He was fun and engaging. Would like to know which restaurant he went to so I can go there now too.

This was our first visit, but I’m sure it was the first of many to come. Absolutely loved Mi Sen and look forward to working our way through the menu.

The service was vet attentive and very polite. I picked a dish that was spicy and didn't want spicy so my fault. The Thai fries and Chives appetiser are a treat. The lunch specials are a great value. Enjoy!

The duck pad tai was original, and the duck meat tender. The Thai curry was good. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere.
