Pad Thai is always a win, but the Noodle Soup keeps me coming back for more. Affordable and tasty! Always a go-to place for a taste of Thailand!

Ordered Pad Thai and Mixed Noodles here. It was great! My craving for Thai food was satisfied. Though the ambience and location of the stall is quite unlikely/hole-in-the-wall-ish, it's still a great go-to place if you're looking for a taste of Thai that would fill you up.
Tried Sen Lek Thai a long time ago, though, back when it was located on the lower ground and the mall was not yet renovated. I only try one meal here: their Pad Thai, because I heard it's one of the best and very affordable.
I wanted to try Thai food at the time, it was delicious, with the peanut butter(?) taste, but that made me kind of "umay", so that's the reason I don't come back for it much. But yes it was delicious.
Dish:
1. Pad Thai: 4/5
1. By far the best affordable pad Thai in the city. Really flavorful and only cost php 120.00. Located in Makati Square I suggest anyone to visit this stall if you are looking for budget friendly meals. Building looks alot better, cleaner, & more organized after the renovations.
One need not buy an airplane ticket to have a taste of thai noodles. There is one located in Makati Square called Sen Lek which is near or by far tastes like noodles sold in Thailand. We found this restaurant by chance as they were located at the second floor of the mall. The floor which is rarely visited by mall goers. What we found in this restaurant is a gem of thai food which is a rare find in the metro.
Nakakalungkot dahil gabi lang kami pwedeng magpunta ng partner ko rito at maaga pala ang sara ng mga stalls sa Makati Cinema Square. Kaya madalas na hindi na namin ito naaabutan. Nang makakain naman dito, wala ang kanilang mga Thai Fried Rice. Mukha pa namang masarap ang bagoong at mangga sa picture. Lalo na ang may Shrimp! Hindi pa naman din kami nakakatikim ng authentic na Thai food kaya wala rin kaming pagbabasehan.
Pad Thai ang order ko at nasiyahan naman ako sa napakaraming actual peanuts. Nagkicrave rin kasi ako noon sa Chicken Satay o anumang may peanut sauce. Gusto ko rin na marami itong tofu dahil hindi ko gusto ang lasa ng meat na kasama. Hindi naman masarap ang Mix Special na inorder ng partner ko. Lasa lang ordinaryong pares sa may kanto-kanto ng Bangkal. Kawawa pa siya dahil puno ito ng toge na hindi niya kinakain.
Medyo masungit na ang ate na nagseserve at kahit iilan pa sila sa maliit na stall, parang nagliligpit na ang iba o nag-iinventory na dahil nga sa oras.
Nothing beats their Pad Thai, Noodle Bowl and Thai Bagoong Rice. And when dining here you get the feeling on a different place and not inside Makati Cinema. Under rated place here in zomato.
Whenever i am scouting the thrift shops at MCS, i make it a point that i swing by Sen Lek. I am absolutely in love with their Pad Thai.
I skipped Pad Thai and tried one of their noodle soup variants. I think this one is the Mixed Thai Noodle Soup (Php 110). And voila, just like the Pad Thai...this beautiful bowl delivers in terms of taste. The noodles are cooked perfectly and there are generous amounts of beef and dumplings.
Dem flavorful noodle soup is a bang-for-your-buck meal. I am glad that i have another option aside from the awesome Pad Thai.

Food: For my pad thai craving quick fix, Sen Lek is my savior. Saucy flat rice noodles with generous amount of bean sprouts, nuts and spices, it is my go-to place whenever I feel the need of eating Thai dishes. However, if you are looking for authenticity, I think their version of food are already adjusted to Filipino palates. I cannot justify because when I went to Thailand, I cannot eat their food well (maybe I was too young that I was not able to appreciate legit Thai spices).
The bagoong rice is bland and dry, how I wish it has more green mangoes and a right amount of bagoong kick to it. Milk tea for just P40 is good if it is really cold but nothing special actually. Whenever I go here, I am for their spices (chili oil, chili fish sauce, chili powder and Thai black peppers), I actually like the combination of chili fish sauce and chili oil to my pad thai.
Location: Small stall with few chairs, so expect to share tables.
Price: Pocket friendly
Will I come back again? Yup! Pad thai again please.

Cheap but delicious Thai cuisine is what you get at Sen Lek Thai Noodles. This small stall at the basement of Makati Square serves street food style. You sit on monoblock chairs, order your food, get your own utensils, then eat and enjoy! The place may not look five star at all, but you get comfort food here!
By far, I've tried their Pad Thai that costed me 100PHP only. Perhaps it's one of the cheapest Pad Thais in town. And it tasted good! The only letdown were the peanuts that tasted far from the authentic.
Also, I've tried Mix Special which is their best selling soup for 90PHP only. It has rice noodles, peanuts, bean sprouts, one siomai, two meatballs, and beef strips. The broth was so good with the right mix of herbs and spices. This bowl is perfect to be eaten on a rainy day.
Thai food tend to be spicy but in general, Sen Lek has moderate spicyness. To those who want more spice, condiments are available.
