“The food is fantastic and the service is also! Wonderful place with wonderful people working there! To those reading this, please if at all possible, order take out and support these folks! We need to support our favourite restaurants now to make sure they are still there after restrictions are lifted!“

“Super delicious pho! I ordered the Beef Rice Noodle Soup (#21 – Pho Chin Nam Gan) and the pork spring rolls, and both were excellent. The restaurant was clean, had a nice ambiance, and was surprisingly busy for a Monday evening.

The food was definitely the highlight. Service could have been a bit warmer! Staff seemed quite busy and weren’t particularly engaging
but overall it was a great experience. I’d definitely come back for the food!“

“Food was absolutely amazing. Best Pho I’ve ever had. I have had experiences living in Montreal, New York City, and now Ottawa. This place serves the best Pho out of all. The broth is just so amazing. The staff are super nice. I would highly suggest the Vietnamese Ice Coffee as well!“

“Service impeccable et nourriture délicieuse. Je vous recommande très fortement ce joli petit restaurant.“

“i’ve been going here for over 15 years and it’s amazing every single time. service is quick and efficient, the food is always 10/10, and the owner is hard working and kind. most authentic pho in ottawa hands down. they deserve more recognition here!“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! Since moving to Ottawa, it’s been my go-to spot for the best food in the area. A friend whose parents have been coming here for over a decade highly recommended it, and I can see why!

This charming mom-and-pop shop has a wonderful vibe, and I’ve loved watching their son grow up over the years. He’s quirky, funny, and the kind of server who makes your experience memorable with his kindness and attentiveness.

The menu is fantastic, but I’m particularly a fan of the noodle soups, especially the wonton noodle soup. Everything is delicious, from the vermicelli to the pho. And definitely try the rice paper rolls with peanut sauce—they’re a must!

If you’re searching for amazing flavors and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a gem!“

“Love!!! I got the tofu Pad Thai and it was super flavourful and saucy! I ate the whole thing in less than ten minutes, I left no crumbs. Great portions, well seasoned, and very diverse menu, lots of vegetarian options. The staff is also super friendly!! 12/10 service!“

“Another Vietnamese Restaurant we've visited.
Located on the side street.
It was quiet and the staff were so polite and friendly.
Inside was very spacious and clean.
Food was great and freshly made. Good portion.
I love their chili garlic oil.
One thing concerns me is the parking space, good thing we parked on the other fastfood chain near by and we just walk few blocks away going on this place.

Overall was a good experience if you're craving for good food that makes your belly full and satisfied.

What's next?“

“Excellent food, generous portions, and the service is friendly and attentive. We will definitely visit again!“

“It is very modern compared to all the other restaurants in the area. The menu was very easy to navigate, the restaurant was roomy and clean overall. The service was attentive and helpful. Everything was relatively quick.

The noodle soup dishes and pho were the same as all other restaurant, slightly on the bland side. However, they are very generous with the servings.

The appetizers are actually worth it in my opinion, and the vermicelli and rice dishes are more appealing than others.“

“This restaurant has the best customer service! Food is delicious, portions are great and they have many options. I really enjoyed coming here, atmosphere is nice and quiet. I loved everything we ordered. I’ll definitely come back! Thanks for treating us very well with a big smile :)“

“They have GREAT food and the BEST wonton soup!!“

“Vietnam Palace Restaurant continues to impress with its exceptional food, outstanding service, and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with their friendly, attentive, and professional hospitality.

The quality of the food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented, prepared with fresh ingredients, and full of authentic Vietnamese flavors. You can immediately tell that great care goes into every meal. The pho broth was rich and flavorful, the spring rolls were perfectly crispy, and each dish was served fresh and at the ideal temperature.

The restaurant itself is spotless, spacious, and comfortable, making it a wonderful place for both family dinners and special occasions. The service was prompt without ever feeling rushed, and the staff were knowledgeable, courteous, and happy to answer questions or make recommendations.

What truly sets Vietnam Palace Restaurant apart is its consistency. Every visit delivers the same high standard of food, cleanliness, and customer service. It’s clear why this restaurant has earned such a loyal following in Ottawa after serving the community for many years.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine with generous portions, excellent value, and a warm dining experience, I highly recommend Vietnam Palace Restaurant. Whether you’re visiting for a comforting bowl of pho, delicious vermicelli, fresh seafood, or traditional Vietnamese specialties, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you to the entire team for another fantastic dining experience. I look forward to returning again soon and will gladly recommend Vietnam Palace Restaurant to friends, family, and anyone looking for one of Ottawa’s best Vietnamese restaurants.

Many diners also praise the restaurant for its attentive service, authentic flavours, clean dining room, and long-standing reputation in Ottawa’s Chinatown.“

“I think it is the best place for exotic food“

“Very good food - I always order spring rolls and pork rice wraps when I go out for food. I’ve been to several restaurants, but this by far has the best spring rolls and rice wraps in town.

The spring rolls are nice and thick, which is not very common so it’s great and it’s definitely worth the price where I was. I’ve been to other places where they charge the same price and you’re basically get half the amount.“

“THE BEST FOOD IN CENTRETOWN!!“

“We walked in with modest expectations and hungry stomachs, but were pleasantly surprised by just how outstanding the Chicken Crispy Chow Mein was. Bursting with flavor and perfectly executed, it was one of those dishes that instantly stands out. It has certainly earned a spot on our repeat-order list, and we’ll be back for it again soon!“

“Absolutely fantastic, might be the best in the city, at least the best in the downtown area! Bonus that prices are also WAY better than they should be! I was hesitant because it was relatively new and outside of where most of the central pho spots are, so I wondered if they'd be less motivated because there isn't as much competition nearby but was I EVER wrong. This spot should be full all the time based on quality, wow!!“

“This place is a pure gem. Fantastic food that’s always served fresh. The staff are absolutely wonderful and so welcoming xx I love this place !!!“

“The food is excellent! The staff are nice and polite.“

“There used to be a pho place in Toronto that I loved until it closed down 7 years ago. Since then, I could not find a pho place that I liked... until today. You can really taste the care Mama Mai puts into its dishes. The pho broth is very clear, and flavorful, without being too salty. Their fish sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and sour, with pickled cabbage and carrots in side it for an extra special touch. Their coconut coffee is a delicious refreshing treat, with a perfect balance of creaminess to that signature strong viet coffee. I am happy to add Mama Mai to my regular rotation of restaurants when ever I visit Ottawa.“

“What a great and delicious food. We love everything we order. Very good flavors 🤤. I wish I have more space to try more things. The size of the plates are huge. Take that in mind.
But we hope to return back even if we are in Toronto.“

“Thank you for another great addition to Ottawa’s food scene!“

“Sanitary conditions and environment are very good, service attitude is also very good, this house does not step on thunder, like light taste small partners, it is recommended to try, its soup bottom can obviously feel no technology, the material is very clean, I drank a lot of soup, super comfortable“

“I have been here a few times now and tried the pho and a few rice and noodle dishes. Everything has been A+. The staff clearly knows how to cook Vietnamese the right way. For example, the crispy noodles with beef and veg should be light and not soaked in oil or sauce, and as you can see from the photo they nailed it in both presentation but also taste. Will return.“

“I have had their soups and few times. Always fresh ingredients and very tasty.
I also like their spring rolls . Again always fresh ingredients. Its a fair drive for me but I find it worth it.
1 excellent food
2 very good service, polity , friendly.
3 very clean .
4. And I appreciate the fact that seniors get a discount.
5. They always offer a nice cup of tea while I wait for my take outt.
6. You wait about 10 minutes or less. But the food is fresh and hot.
7. They provide good containers to transport.
8. I like the fact that they keep the soup ingredients separately from the fresh broth. Make it nice to divide abd warm up if you need too.“

“Delicious broth, BBQ’d meats. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal“

“from the pictures and the kind words related to the owner and marketing of the products I can only imagine supreme deliciousness and more than 6000 fellow members of the newcomers in Ottawa group ☺️❤️🌎yummy“

“La nourriture est bonne et les portions sont grandes. 👍 Chow mein végé et Pad thai aux 3 viandes“

“variedad y muy deliciosa comida.“

“Highly recommended this place to everyone 👌“

“I've eaten here before and it's always been great. Yesterday, we had the salmon and tuna sashimi the calamari and the seared beef salad. It was all fantastic, but the seared beef salad was absolutely incredible. Our service was also fantastic. Thank you so much!!“

“Nice little shop with good Vietnamese subs and iced coffee!“

“A wonderful place: clean, warm and intimate atmosphere; great Asian decor; a delightful hostess; authentic Thai food - all around a wonderful experience. I ordered the spiciest curry on the menu with the added wish "extra spicy," and the kitchen did not disappoint. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, good pricing. During my two hours in the restaurant, a valuable piece of jewellery fell to the floor and I left without it. I contacted the restaurant about it and left my name and address. A week later the item arrived in my mailbox here on the other side on the country. I was profoundly touched by this act of kindness. I am thankful to the staff for their generosity and professionalism“

“Delicious broth, BBQ’d meats. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal“

“I've been ordering takeout from this place for over 15 years. The food is amazing, they can basically do any dish you want and it will be good. I like their vermicelli plates and their chinese food. They also have excellent seafood and fried rice.

I would definitely recommend eating here if you're hungry :)“

“When they first opened, I tried the food and found it tasteless, so I didn’t go back. Recently, I decided to give it another chance, and I was pleasantly surprised — the food was actually really good. I’ve tried a few dishes like General Tso’s, Pad Thai, and shrimp rolls, and they were all tasty. I’m looking forward to trying more from their menu!“

“The new space is beautiful!
It got really busy so wedidnt see our server much, but we also didn't need anything so was fine.
We had #112 and 108 vermicelli. Delicious, the chicken and pork were grilled to perfection. the spring roll was different though, I wasn't a fan.
We will return!“

“One of our favorite spots in town for eating in or takeout. Try the eggplant stuffed with porc in a black bean sauce (yuuuum), their incredible sweet and sour soup, those amazing dumplings, the bokchoi, and so, so much more! Lovely staff, we had a nice chat with the chef last time we were in!“
