The most authentic Vietnamese food in Ottawa.
From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’ve stepped out of the country and straight into Vietnam. The place looks like it’s been frozen in the ’70s — in the best, most charming way possible.
Don’t expect the only waitress to ask how your day was or even make much eye contact. But that’s part of the experience — it feels completely authentic.
I love all of it. 10/10.

Got the rice wraps with the fillings on the side. Been going here for almost 20 years and every single time I go there it’s just better and better. Love the food. Service is quick and easy and simple. Everything on my platter was def. Fresh and the beef was so juicy and thick but tender. Absolutely loved it.

I placed an order online. The portion size was larger than a regular meal for me. Everything was freshly cooked and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the hot and sour soup, as it really helped balance the overall taste.

The best Vietnamese roll ups with rice paper and spring rolls. We ordered 001-spring rolls, 410-roll ups with shrimp and pork and 415-roll ups with chicken. All the ingredients are fresh, perfectly cooked with generous portions! The restaurant is not fancy but the food is worth the visit!

Best vermicelli roll ups ever! I’ve been coming here for over 20 years. I order #410 vermicelli roll ups with shrimp and pork or #401 vermicelli roll ups with shrimp. Food is fresh and generous portions. Service is fast and efficient. I would highly recommend trying out if you’re in the area. (Not a beautifully decorated restaurant or overly friendly service but food is worth it!)

Good food but service and atmosphere could be improved. The food is good and portions are not small but there are no choices for bowl sizes unlike most pho restaurants. The pho was good and 136 satay chicken was great. The interior was quite old and service was a bit curt.

This place used to be the best in town. Now, the workers are rude and they don’t even have chili oil anymore . The classic beef satay pho (136) was a stable. And now they under-portion it, and give smaller noodles rather than the OG noodles. Really horrible experience. Won’t be coming back. And I’m sad cause the 136 was the best pho ever

My first time ever writing a food review and unfortunately it is a bad one.
The food was okay, mediocre at best, do I expect a little more for 16 dollars? Sure, but the food wasn’t the issue. The issue is the female server.
Many reviews here also mentioned her and they are not wrong, if you come during “busier” hours – I came at 6 pm. She will be RUNNING – I’m not kidding, food smashed on the table, spare no time for any interactions with customers, let alone questions, she seemed to be in a big rush that wasn’t needed to be… (it wasn’t that busy). Loud noises when she cleared the plates as well.
Then once I paid for my food, she came to clear my table immediately, grabbed my can of pop that I barely drank and was gonna take home to finish, so weird, make the whole experience so uncomfortable and eerie. She is rude, not a single thank you, not a single smile.
Will not come here again, I don’t recommend this place, not even for one person, let alone a bigger group.

This cafeteria style restaurant is low key and seats about 100+. Kids can make noise and run around. There are hundreds of options for Vietnamese style food. And if you don’t see exactly what you want they will make whatever you ask for. We frequent this place weekly. Once we brought our vegan nieces and they were able to customize the Roll-Up with Rice Paper to replace meats($15) with tofu. All of the options in this category(#400-422) are fantastic. The Pho soups($7-$10) are also great. My kids love the shakes($4), they make them with coconut milk and fruit so they are more like a creamy slushy.
