Barrhaven Vietnamese Restaurant

Everytime I come and order a different dish, it’s always delicious. Pork Spring rolls 10/10. Service is quick and friendly. This is one of my favourite go-to restaurants in Ottawa!

Really enjoyed our dinner here. They were very thoughtful and helped our table with substitutions. They were great with the young kids as well and took the time to listen to what they wanted and made sure they got what they wanted without being asked by an adult.
Happy they added Thai dishes to their menu. We will definitely be back!

First time trying this place out and food was very good and had great flavor. It was quiet when we went and service was good. However, found it to be very pricy for the quantity served especially the vegetable fried rice which was a quite less for 2 people.

The stone bowl pho was delicious, reminds me of the Pho I had in Vietnam. The owner was friendly. We had a great night.

There was a peice of rubber in my food. Do not order takeout. The broth came in a plastic container not ment for boiling temperatures, plastic leeched into the broth and I could taste it. Awful

We’ve been coming to this restaurant for a few years, but our most recent visit will definitely be the last.

1. Portions have shrunk to an insulting degree.
I ordered a middle-size egg noodle and stir-fry noodle — for over $20 — and what I got looked like a kid’s meal. A five-year-old might leave hungry. I asked the manager if there was a mistake, and he casually told me, “That’s normal.” No apology, no explanation. Just a shrug. Inflation is one thing, but this felt like a ripoff.

2. Dirty table — twice.
We were seated at a table that had visible food and soup stains. Not subtle — clearly not cleaned. They came by to wipe it down twice and somehow it was still dirty. In the end, we had to clean it ourselves just to feel okay about eating there. That’s just not acceptable.

3. Dirty dishes.
Two of our five dishes came out with leftover food on them. Not “a smudge,” actual residue. We pointed it out and the server swapped them out without a word — no apology, and the replacements still weren’t fully clean. It was honestly stomach-turning.

We left feeling completely let down. It’s hard to watch a place you used to love fall apart like this — overpriced tiny portions, poor hygiene, and a complete lack of care. This visit ruined it for us.

We’re done.

BVR is 10/10 because the flavour and portion sizes are great! I always order the rice with chicken or rice with beef & shrimp. The salad is also deIicious and I would love more salad in the platter! I would suggest that they add a spring roll to the platters! Highly recommend if you’re in the Barrhaven area!!

Ok we did not expect the food to be this good. Huge portions and a variety of dresses, sauces, and broth to accompany your food. It was our first time here and we loved it. This place is now our index of comparison for Vietnamese food. 👌🏻

I’ve been going here since the late 2000s, when Vietnamese food wasn’t as prominent as nowadays. They’ve always had different items as the restos on Somerset. Recently, I ordered takeout and then dined in a week after. I’m impressed with their new menu as they’re able to offer the popular items from the old menu and new items that are not available in other places! I will definitely be back more frequently!
PS I wish they would offer more dessert options!
