Every dish we ordered hit the mark. The service was just as impressive: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It felt like they really cared about making sure we had a great meal.

If you’re looking for a spot with both outstanding food and outstanding service, this place deserves a visit. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Awesome joint for a spot of Pho.
I enjoy the Rare Beef Pho, and often get the shrimp or pork rice rolls.
One advantage is this place is close to the office. So I can drop in and the food is always quick.
All the food is delicious!
Staff are always attentive, even in a Bass Pro Shop hat.

Wheelchair accessibility: Might be tough to navigate inside the restaurant.“

“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!!“

“We had an amazing meal at Merivale Noodle House! We ordered the roasted quail, which was perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. I also tried the Bún bò Huế (Hue-style beef noodle soup). The portion was huge, the broth was rich and flavorful, and it came with plenty of fresh herbs and toppings.

Highly recommend this place!“

“Liu's is our go-to for Chinese food in town. The open ended eggrolls are delicious! Staff is very courteous and we've never had any issues with taste or temperature of food as we do pick up. Many complaints about food being cold or taking awhile to deliver? But that's not the restaurant's fault; take that up with your delivery service.“

“Truly authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Have tried many dishes, and each one did not disappoint. The staff are amazing and friendly. I highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“Had the best time hosting our group party here! The vegan and glutenfree options were fantastic! 🍲“

“I have been going to Pho Bac for a very long time. I honestly haven't tried much of their menu because the pho is my favourite in the city. This is a small family that runs the restaurant which shows, as the quality of food is high & consistent.“

“(I would have given this place a FIVE STAR rating, but as well as vegan dishes, they also serve animals, which is horrific. So…) Excellent, friendly service! VERY CLEAN! The vegan food was AMAZING!! SO flavourful, and filling!! (I had General Tso's V Chickun) I'll be back for more from their vegan menu. :)“

“2,2,6,7,3 Number of people in under 15 min. Water on all tables, drinks, orders all prioritized and spaced for the kitchen. Everything in the window taken less than 30 seconds. Tables cleared under 5 minutes. Called for help only when needed. Handled both take-out and dine in without breaking pace. Knows how to hold plates and deliver confidently. All under an hour with each table clean and dressed. Wow. Renee.“

“Huong is so kind and clearly holds so much pride in the food here. :^) And for good reason; the bun bo hue had amazing depth of flavor in the broth and very lemongrassy which was so addictive!! + I could tell that they take care to clean and skim the pork hock thoroughly to get rid of the funk. Their homemade pork sausage was also so delicious. Next time I gotta try pho bun hue!! I meant to take pictures but when I sipped the soup I forgot LOL.“

“Went with my girlfriends in the evening! Had appetizers and main dish. Delicious and served fresh and warm! The Pad Thai and Pho is excellent! Try the deep fried bananas with a drizzle of honey and topped with crushed peanuts!“

“Great vermicelli pork and spring roll bowl! You can choose how many toppings you want, and the price is quite good. Their vietnamese coffee with condensed milk is delicious too. I do have to say that my partner got double the amount of spring roll for no apparent reason though, but nevertheless, definitely try it on a warm summer day!“

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

“My favorite Pho place along this stretch. Service is always fantastic, and portion sizes are very good for the price. Everything I've tried off the menu is very tasty. I do wish they were open a bit later, but it's still a favourite of mine for a takeout supper.“

“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!“

“Love the food,staff, service and great prices to boot!“

“We went during the Victoria Day long weekend after going to the Ottawa Tulip Festival. All restaurants were busy that weekend and although we made a reservation at a different restaurant, they reached capacity and the long wait would have gotten us late to see the fireworks and drone show. This restaurant was able to seat us and the two girls working there were so accommodating, patient and sweet. Food was great and the decor was cute! Will definitely go again to try other dishes.“

“This is the best Vietnamese place in Ottawa and definitely one of the best ANYWHERE. My fav dish is the beef Bun (#43) - and the included crunchy spring rolls are probably the best I’ve had. The staff are also super friendly. Highly recommended!“

“Love the food,staff, service and great prices to boot!“

“Wonderful place for vermicelli & spring rolls! The service is great & quick, staff's always smiling, and the food is always top tier, with good portion sizes at affordable prices! The restaurant is closed rn & I hope they re-open again soon as I've been craving their spring rolls, rice wraps & peanut sauce!“

“If I could give a 100/10 for service I would! The owner once we walked in said take out only after 9pm... he saw how frozen we were coming in from -27°, said no problem you sit! Ordered two medium well done x2 beef pho and stirfry lemongrass beef vermicelli. Asked to make the pho spicy. THE FLAVORS WERE INCREDIBLE! Everything came out hot and quick! Perfect spot to warm up after a cold cold night. Deff a must try! 10/10 Big thanks to the nicest staff! 🙏🏾“

“First of all，I felt so bad that my brain wasn't function so well that I left the 3 dollars for tips on my bill. Should have asked the male server tonight to exchange the 10 or 20 dollars bill so I can tip him a little more (to him and the owner who asked us if we need hot tea on this cold fall day). Much appreciated.

The waiter today have helped us feel very much welcomed in the store (even tho he was a little bit shy to my observation). Very informative when we asked him for recommendation and very nice guy. If I was anyone who have had bad experience about the food, I wouldn't be mad if he was the waiter.
The food was quite okay, there are some food option that we really like from VietNam but couldn't be found in AB, this definitely a +. The flavor was Okay not bad but also not the top (we had hủ tiếu xào aka stir fried large size noodles and thịt kho tộ aka pork stew in hot bowl). For hủ tiếu xào I like the sweet of the cabbage mix it to the sauce, couldn't go wrong l. Too bad that I was expecting more sauce and thicker texture. The large size noodle from my point of view was not handmade, if was a little bit more cook to get darker color and smoked smell, it would be awesome like what would be done exactly in Chinese restaurant in VietNam.
For thịt kho tộ, I can smell and taste the pepper as what it should be for this kind of meal you would have. Only a - point was the color was a bit muddy deal to ingredients they add to the bowl. The pork was sliced like beef was maybe a little bit not what you would expected from this dish in VietNam but that wouldn't be a problem to my experience.
The place was well organized in bright and clean.
Parking was a bit tough.
In general, a 4++ (4,4) and I would recommend friend to come try. (Just the food haven't stand out too much to give m a Wow)“

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

“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.“

“Alright, so this place kind of struck me as soon as I walked in by just being wonderfully quiet compared to the street outside. I came in on a really hot, busy weekday, and inside it was just serenely quiet and cool. The tables are awesome, even if it’s maybe a weird thing to fixate on, but they’re these big, solid wood tables with like 2 inch thick quartz granite tops. It was really nice to put your arms on the cool granite on a super hot day. It was just a really nice sensory contrast to the street outside.

Food was awesome.“

“10/10 awesome place. best pho in gatineau“

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

“We visited this restaurant for dinner as a family on a Saturday evening. The food was excellent even though it took a little longer than anticipated. We ordered one house special pho, one lemongrass chicken vermicelli, one fried chicken poke and one salmon poke.

The server apologized for the delay. It was a busy night with the restaurant full of patrons as well as many take-out orders. Perhaps this was the reason contributing to why it took longer for the food to arrive than anticipated.

It was a pleasant experience overall. I will return if I am nearby the area next time on a weeknight perhaps.“

“Good Banh Mi must have liver pate, a little mayo or aioli, birds eye chilli paste, pickled veg, meat, and a fresh baked bun that is crunch in the outside but still light and airy on the inside. I lived in Hoi An, Bourdain's self-proclaimed Banh Mi capital of Vietnam, so I know what it takes to make a good one.

This is good here, but ultimately misses the mark in the special touches that take it from a regular sub sandwich to a proper Banh Mi. Hoping they improve on the little things and it could become the best in the city!“

“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“

“This is by far the best pho place in town, I come once a week sometimes more when I don’t want to cook.This is the spot I always take anyone new to town or visiting. The owner is super duper sweet and he works every single day to make sure we all enjoy his food!!“

“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“

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

“variedad y muy deliciosa comida.“

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

“I had the pleasure of picking up take-out from Viet Express in Manotick on Sunday, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was! I ordered the BBQ Beef rice dish, and it was absolutely delicious—the beef was tender, perfectly marinated, and had just the right hint of smoky sweetness. Paired with the fragrant rice and fresh veggies, it made for the perfect meal.

What made the visit extra special was the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The two sisters who run Viet Express are incredibly kind and attentive. They went out of their way to help me understand the menu, making suggestions and explaining each dish with such care. They made my whole family feel right at home, and their helpfulness made choosing even easier.

If you’re in the mood for great Vietnamese food with a personal touch, Viet Express is definitely worth a visit!“

“Bon menu à prix abordable, excellent service rapide et belle ambiance. Je le recommande fortement :)“

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

“Its Official, Pho Van Van is THE Vietnamese in Ottawa. AMAZING FOOD that we cant get enough of.“

“Highly recommended this place to everyone 👌“

“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“

“I know most people will likely be coming here for the pho or noodles, but they serve the best General Tso's chicken you'll ever have in your life. The service can admittedly be a bit slow - but i can guarantee you it's all worth it for the general Tso's chicken. The combination of flavours and veggies that go with the perfectly cooked chicken is immaculate. It's everything you want in a crispy and saucy fried chicken dish, but without being overwhelmingly greasy: instead, it's fresh, tender, and beautiful. Again, come for the pho - and stay for the general Tso's chicken.“

“I'm not sure what most of the recent reviews were talking about when they wrote their reviews. My partner and I travel all around the Ottawa region to new or underappreciated restaurants and leave honest Google reviews. It is clear to see that the owners have taken action with this location and have updated their staff to reflect a restaurant worthy of an honorable mention. My partner and I went to an early dinner and tried multiple different meal options to truly see the capabilities of their chef and of the waiter. To start, I would like to point out how nice it was to eat inside. Though not a modern look, the layout was very welcoming and properly themed. Also, tables and chairs were convenient for people of all sizes and offered indoor and outdoor seating options upon request. As for the service, I would not expect a 5 star service from this establishment, but I was surprised to see how friendly yet professional the staff was during our whole experience. It is clear that the owners take care of their employees, and it shows it the quality of their service as well. Now, for the food, I did not like their pho. There are better places that offer a more flavorful pho with more ingredients. However, their wonton soup have left my partner and I craving for more. It was a perfect balance of vegetables and broth, with perfect bite size wonton seasoned to perfection. They are clearly handmade and were the star of the show. We ordered an appetizer portion to share, but we'll be coming back very soon for meal portions as well. We also ordered their vermicelli (pork, shrimp, and vegetables), which was honestly better than any other location in Ottawa to date. It could have used more pork to balance the perfectly fried vegetables, but times are tough. Lastly, we ordered a seafood sizzle plate to truly test the chef's skills. My hat goes off to the chef since I was pleased to receive perfectly cooked calamari (far from chewy but not raw), and the plate was indeed sizzling! I strongly recommend pairing with some white rice as the sauce is worthy of being eaten as well.“
