The team behind Zaab on Lonsdale Street is about to open a second eatery in Braddon's foodie hotspot, infusing the rich history of Lao and Thai flavours with the electric spirit of street food culture.
Senn Noods has found a home in the NIBU building, bringing with it all of the vibes of the vibrant and bustling streets of Southeast Asia.
And the name? Well, "senn" translates to noodles in both Lao and Thai.

The passion project and brainchild of Becky Khanthavongsa, the creative force behind Zaab, Senn Noods is just another example of her commitment to bringing people together through food experiences.
"Zaab's offering has evolved over the years, and we saw the opportunity to take the concept back to the streets," she says.

"This concept will be a lot more casual. A no-frills kind of vibe with a big focus on late-night feeds on the weekends. And, for all the people wondering - you'll be able to get your favourite Pad Thai fix at Senn Noods."
