“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.“

“Best pho in the town“

“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.“

“My family and I have been visiting this restaurant for over twenty years. The food is always excellent, the service is amazing, the staff is so friendly!! My kids and I have moved away from the area, but we always make a point to eat here when it Ottawa.“

“I love their spring roll and in my honest opinion, it is the best I have ever tasted before. Everybody should try. The ingredients are fresh and there is no greasy after taste. Their spring roll is amazing!!!!!!“

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

“(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. :)“

“This cozy little place blew me away! I went alone first and the I had to come back again with pals! I love the creative cocktails- delicious and beautiful. Service was friendly, caring and personable. Thank you so much, you’re a great gem in the Glebe!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had a really nice dinner at this Vietnamese restaurant! The pho was the standout, rich, flavourful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and fresh ingredients. It was super comforting and exactly what I was hoping for.

The service was good overall. The staff were polite and attentive, though there were a couple small moments where things felt a bit slow, which is why I’d give it 4 stars instead of 5. Still, they were friendly and made the experience pleasant.

The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy a warm meal. It wasn’t perfect, but definitely enjoyable.

Overall, I’d come back again for the pho alone, it was that good!“

“Great spot! Our go to Vietnamese restaurant in the city after a recommendation from friends who lived in Vietnam.
Lovely family owners who are kind and gracious and always ask about our kids.
The food doesn't disappoint either. Family favorites other than pho, include B3, grilled pork cold rolls as an appetizer and #37 or #38 spicy saté soup.“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now, and it’s always been a great experience. It’s a small family-run restaurant serving Northern Vietnamese food, and the quality is amazing. The pho and rice dishes are delicious every time.

I usually get the 3-meat combo, but substitute the pork for extra chicken and beef instead. Their vegetarian spring rolls are also one of my favorites, and I always order a small pho broth on the side to sip on as I eat my meal.

Friendly service, authentic food, and consistently great flavors. 10/10 recommend!“

“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!!“

“I recently visited this place and was impressed by how clean and well-organized everything was. It made me feel comfortable and at ease. Plus, the prices were really reasonable, making it a good value for my money. Overall, I had a great experience here.“

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

“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!“

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

“Overall, the experience was closer to a 4/5, but what really stood out was the owner’s kindness.

Customer service can be hit-or-miss at some Viet-owned businesses in Canada, so it was refreshing to feel genuinely welcomed here. The owner was friendly, happy to chat with my family, and had a relaxed, approachable vibe. They mentioned leaving Vietnam many years ago and never returning - which may explain why the pho noodles lacked a bit of depth - but for me, dining out is about more than just flavour.

Offering a broad menu while keeping flavours strong isn’t easy, so I appreciated that they leaned into other Asian cuisines rather than padding the menu with beginner-friendly food like fries or pasta. The space is small and cozy, and given the location, the pricing feels fair. With Ottawa prices hovering around $16–$20 per dish these days, there’s little to complain about.

If you’re after strong, authentic Vietnamese flavours, this spot may disappoint. But for a relaxed meal with friends or coworkers - especially given the location - it fits the bill.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Highly recommended this place to everyone 👌“

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

“I really like the pho here, tastes great! Ive been coming here with my wife for a few years now and they are always consistent with the flavours ! We came back today with my family for lunch and we all enjoyed our Pho soup. My mother forgot her water bottle here and we were able to come back and get it a couple of hours later as they kept it aside for us. Wonderful & excellent service !“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“The pho soup was excellent and the service too.“
