Sen Noods
Four things on the menu, noodles made that morning, and two people who decided that was enough.
Why go
Sen Noods runs two pitches: this one at Netil Market on Westgate Street, and a truck at Between The Bridges on Belvedere Road (Sen Noods). Andi Oliver named them when Condé Nast Traveller asked her where she eats in London, and what she picked out was the discipline: they are passionate about doing one thing really, really well. They make them fresh and they make the most gorgeous broths. There's you just four things on the menu.
Her visit was to the Southbank truck rather than to this stall, which is worth knowing before you treat it as a verdict on Netil Market. Check before you go: the company registered at Netil House under this name was wound up in February 2026, and the food hygiene register has no record of the stall.
Order this / avoid
- Order: whatever bowl is on. There are about four, they are all noodles, and the broth is the part a chef went out of her way to praise.
- Avoid: walking to Westgate Street without checking they are trading. Expecting a long menu. Assuming this is the Southbank pitch, which is a separate site.
What locals & experts say
- Andi Oliver, chef and broadcaster, in Condé Nast Traveller's Where the Chefs Eat, speaking about their Southbank pitch:
they exemplify what I love most about the London food scene, they are passionate about doing one thing really, really well. They make them fresh and they make the most gorgeous broths. There's you just four things on the menu.
1 - Nothing has been written about the Netil Market stall specifically. The one endorsement in the record belongs to the other pitch and is labeled as such rather than borrowed.
- One phrase you may see quoted. Listings call this an "authentically inauthentic" noodle stall, with the phrase in quotation marks as though someone said it. No source read for this entry contains it, so it is not repeated here.
Good to know
- Check first. The company registered at Netil House under this name, SEN NOODS NETIL LTD, was dissolved on 17 February 2026. The parent company is active and the business holds a current food hygiene registration at a unit in Leyton, so the operation is alive. What is unresolved is whether this pitch is still there, and this entry will be re-checked on 1 September 2026.
- Where: Netil Market, 13-23 Westgate Street, E8 3RL, by London Fields. The other pitch is Between The Bridges on Belvedere Road, SE1 8XX.
- Format: a market stall. No bookings, market hours, and about four bowls on the board.
- Hygiene: no FSA registration exists for the Netil Market stall. The registration under this trading name is at a business unit in Leyton, which reads as a prep kitchen and is a different premises, so no rating is shown for this pitch.
- They also cater private events and pop-ups, arranged by email or by message.
Verdict
could-visit — Four things on the menu, noodles made fresh, and two people doing one thing properly. Andi Oliver put it best when Conde Nast asked her where she eats: they are passionate about doing one thing really really well, and the broths are the reason. That is the register that gets a stall onto a list like this one. The complication is which stall. Her line is about their truck on the Southbank, not the Netil Market pitch this page describes, and it is carried here labeled rather than borrowed. And the Netil pitch itself has a question mark on it: the company registered at Netil House with this name was wound up on 17 February 2026, and the food hygiene register has no record of Sen Noods at that market. The parent company is active and the business holds a current registration at a Leyton unit, so this is not a closure. It is a reason to check before you walk to Westgate Street.
