“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!“

“Crazy Pho You has gone through a lot of owners over the last few years. My girlfriend and I used to go there when it was the original owners and it was amazing. After they left, it got rocky. The food wasn’t very good for a while and we stopped going.

We decided to try it again under this new management and I can honestly say Crazy Pho You is back!! That food was incredible. The broth was so rich and concentrated and the meat was so tender and fatty. The restaurants New decor feels refreshed and cozy, and the service was kind. We’re already making plans to go back.“

“Saw this combo pic on the reviews and wanted to give it a taste. It was pretty good. A little odd together. The meat was tender and savoury. The crispy spring roll was very good. Luckily the fish clear sauce saved it as the noodles don’t have any flavour to it so you have to dip them in the sauce to get flavour. I would go back but I’d want to try a different dish.“

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

“soooooo guuuuuuuuuuuuuud!!!I had originally planned to take my friend from Montreal to a pho place I loooove (Pho Tuan) but it was closed for holidays...we met this very cute vietnamese girl living in the area and asked her where to go: she said go to Pho THu Do!!!may the gods bless her soul. We had incredible pho soup and deep fried rolls. I felt love in the 8 hrs simmered broth and it proved me the poetic lines of a Haiku book I read before: The Art of Peace, yes that was it!!!!!!“

“We had a great dinner at this restaurant. I booked a large table for 15 people two days in advance, but when we arrived, they couldn’t find my reservation, which was surprising. However, they were able to accommodate our group, which we appreciated. The pho soup was tasty! And they have free parking across the road.“

“Really delicious broth and good spice level. Was a little bit too spicy for my partner.
The fried spring rolls were crunchy and delicious, I liked dipping them in the hoisin sauce.
The server was really funny and enjoyable and the vibes were familial which was very nice.
Recommend it.“

“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!“

“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! 🙏🏾“

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

“Service was really good, but minimal as we had take out so not too much interaction. Very tasty food! We had beef and vegetables and the beef was a touch chewy, but still delicious. Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp was really good too. Lemongrass shrimp with vermicelli was delicious. The shrimp rice paper rolls had a lot of noodles and lacked flavour. They needed the dipping sauce that accompanied.
Serving sizes were very generous. We ordered 4 stir fries for 4 adults and had plenty of left overs“

“Amazing food and excellent service. The bbq pork wrap n roll is delicious. The meat comes out on a sizzling plate and the veggies were super fresh. The Pho was super tasty and generous. Booze is very reasonably priced. Efficient and friendly service. A great experience.“

“I am rating this a 5 for the food. Hands down, DELICIOUS. We adored the pork banh mi and my girlfriend said it was the best chow mein she had ever had (and she has tried a LOT of chow mein!) Now, some of the reviews mention that the place could be a bit more hygienic (true!) and they also mention a female server who pays more attention to her phone than the customers. That has been my experience as well; she scowled so hard at me I felt unwelcome in the restaurant. Luckily when other people are on shift, they are much friendlier.

At first, I thought I was being over-sensitive about the female server, but when I brought others and she happened to be there, they revealed they felt the same way even though I hadn't even mentioned it.

Recently, I saw that server again and she was much happier and more attentive. I wonder if something had gone wrong in her life that affected her. All in all, I think the food is amazing and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.“

“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 !!!“

“A small, warm, laidback (comfy) restaurant. A lovely menu with some rare options. I return time and again for the mussels. The broth is SO DELICIOUS that I order rice noodles on the side to sop up every last drop. Attentive waitress. Food is freshly made to order. Prices are reasonable. Pls go visit. You’ll love their 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“

“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“

“variedad y muy deliciosa comida.“

“Went for a quick lunch with an old friend. It was amazing, the server was extremely kind and even suggested hot and sour pho. Which was the best pho I have had in Ottawa.The atmosphere was great and friendly, my friend and I sat for two hours and didn’t feel rushed at all.I also had pork spring rolls which were delicious.

Dietary restrictions: I did not get it but there was gluten free options on the special board and in menu. I would bring a friend with Celiac disease to try.“

“Glad there was a phõ place close by. On a hot day , nothing better than spicy soup !
Shrimp rolls were very good . Crispy well cooked and served hot. Salad rolls were bland as was the peanut sauce. The noodle soup was good. The broth was good , enough noodles but the meat was sorely lacking unfortunatly.
Service was excellent !“

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

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

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

“iPho is a hidden gem in Ottawa. The pho is incredibly flavorful, with rich, aromatic broth and fresh ingredients. The portions are generous, and the service is always friendly and attentive. I especially love their vermicelli bowls and spring rolls – always so fresh and tasty! The restaurant is clean, cozy, and has a great atmosphere. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, I’ve never been disappointed. Definitely one of the best spots for Vietnamese food in the city!“

“Ordered take away pho dac biet because I'm fighting a cold and craved some pho. Food arrived neatly packed and individually bagged to avoid spillage. Generous portions of meats (that were also delicious and tender), great toppings and the broth is ridiculously delicious and aromatic. Would order again 100%. Thank you!!!“

“Highly recommended this place to everyone 👌“

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

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

“The food was absolutely amazing! We ordered for takeout and the food was perfectly packed. We brought it home and it was eaten in minutes! My 5 year old daughter said it was the best Chinese food she’s ever had and LOVED the beef with black bean sauce and the shrimp spring rolls. She had the leftover chicken pad thai for lunch today. Highly recommend this place!“

“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“

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

“If anyone says anything negative about this place I beg you to ignore them. I have a few severe food allergies that I am usually pretty clear on everytime I show up to dine in. Its my own risk for doing this but I can say that most things I tried, including the crispy noodle chow mein, are totally safe for peanut/nut allergies and sea food allergies. Look if youre celiac maybe thinnk of eating somewhere else?? I dont think any asian restaurant in the area is gluten friendly I would skip altogether dont be a bother. The pho is KILLER, better then noodle house down the road, may not have as many options as them but phu yens broth is more then authentic. Even the chinese food is really really good, and again for allergies you never know but be very clear with the staff, Cause I eat here all the time and never had a single reaction, where i went to an indian place not far and that right away gave me a reaction I just ordered a rice dish from the place. Long story short, I love their hot coffee, 5/5 stars for that, crispy chow mein is insane, pho is delicious, their vermicelli and rice/meat dishes tastes fresh everytime, dont expect a 5 star meal here folks but I guarantee what quality they have to offer should blow you away.“

“One of my favorite asian restaurant for a weekend date. The food is fresh, flavourful pad Thai, and a warm atmosphere. They have live band playing on the weekend! No need to pay entrance fees, keep that money to spend on additional food or drinks !“

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

“I used to live very close to this place. Was my favourite restaurant. I no longer live as close and don’t go as much but the food is incredible. I love the vermicelli and pho. They offer tea when you sit down. The owner isn’t very sociable and can seem unfriendly at times but he is hard working and makes good food.“

“certified 'that is really good pho' from ME (phd in pho trust me!!)
IT WAS SUPER GOOD I LOVED IT!!, sorry i was so nervous while ordering yesterday it was loud and i get super nervous while ordering!

okay okay i had the pho with pork and rare beef and i dont really know what to say about it because im not much of a food critic but i feel like if you like noodle dishes you WILL like it! it has a kinda plain taste without the spice (you dont have to ask its on the table already) but thats more of a me thing so im still giving it 5 stars!

sadly i didnt take a photo but i draw the water they gave me! (it was good water)

Vegetarian options: im not TOO sure because im not vegan myself but they do have vege pho i think! so you go vegans!!

Kid-friendliness: im a kid (15) and i felt friendliness! this is me approved :-)“
