It's just a chip truck. BUT it's a chip truck with some of the best and most imaginative poutines around. Delicious poutine, excellent hamburgers, way-better-than-average hot dogs, and the best part: a different Special Poutine every week and a different non-poutine special every single day.
Special Poutines in the past have included spicy crispy pork, breakfast, chili mac n cheese, egg Benedict, popcorn chicken, pulled pork and kimchi, chili, pizza, etc, etc. In every case, Pong starts with a full size regular poutine (with cheese in the middle to glue down the upper layer so it doesn't topple) topped with the special topping of the week. The weekly and daily specials are announced simultaneously on Facebook and Twitter.
Great food. Wait times are way too long! Hire someone pong!
Great poutine. Very tasty. Large portion so better to share.
Best Poutine I've Ever Had. By far the best poutine I've ever had. I think it's closing next week for the winter, I'd highly recommend checking it out before it closes up for the winter! Their egg rolls are apparently amazing too!
Poutine. Delicious, gluten free fries (fried in oil not contaminated with breaded foods). Be aware, although the gravy is corn flour base, it does have wheat in there at the bottom of the list somewhere. If you have a gluten allergy, then avoid the gravy. (Sorry folks, life can be hard for a celiac who loves poutine).
$12 cheese burger combo! Better than McDonald's
- Service was fast and friendly
- Not wheel chair assessible
- Price $ decent
- Poutine fries were great curds melted, gravy was not too salty fries were crispy even after the gravy
- Burger was decent size, the pattie was a little dry, other than that everything was good
- No bathroom
- This place is outside
- Overall... would recommend and will go back

I had the pleasure of visiting Pong's Poutine for the 3rd time while I was in the Carp area last week. Each visit was delicious and food was made promptly. They have a nice seating area if you have time to dine in and you can even pay with debit unlike some other food trucks that haven't got with the times even after this whole covid mess. Staff are quite friendly and seem very organized. My last order was a hot dog combo with a poutine and a drink and came to $9.50 which I find considerably cheap in comparison to others and the poutine was big enough to feed 2 people with small appetites, they use shoestring type fries which I'm not too fond of but that's just a personal preference and won't keep me away since I'm already a fan.
By far this is one of my most favorite poutine spots in Ottawa. Their fries are crispy, pairing with perfect gravy, and of course the squeaky cheese curds. Love their themed poutines too. So so amazing 🤩
This is easily in my top 3 poutines in Ottawa. Skinny fries, amazingly glossy dark gravy, tons of fresh curds. Their other food is pretty good too, standard chip truck fare but always comes out fast and hot. Catch them while they're open
EDIT: Recently visited Pong's again and got the medium Stranger Frings Poutine (fries and onion rings poutine). The food is as good as ever though prices have gone up because of inflation. Love that they layer the fries/rings, cheese curds and gravy so you get consistent bites. Comes in a clamshell that will barely close. Delicious gravy. Super crispy shoestring fries. Prepared fresh.

Haven't had a proper poutine in years and this may be the best I've ever had. Love that they use shoestring fries and fried extra crispy to hold up to the cheese and gravy. Gravy is full of flavour and delicious. Curds were melty but still had that rubbery texture in the middle.
Value is there too. The medium is quite a large portion with the clamshell barely closing shut.

I don't usually hand out five star reviews for chip trucks, there is usually something I don't like. Maybe this place could be located closer to my house? That's unreasonable though. Back to the review, I feel like this place takes their business seriously, and you can taste it. Please review the included phots as you can see they use a quality bun for their burgers, real cheese curds that perfectly half melted. They use thinly cut fries which I enjoy, that's all personally preference though. the gravy is nice and flavourful without being intrusive. I believe a poutine should be equal parts fries/gravy/cheese all working together and that's what you will find here at Pong's. Back to the bacon cheese burger, again with the quality ingredients. Nice bacon mixed with cheese and other toppings. The patty was definitely home made, some sort of onion and other flavours were noticed, nicely done. To top all this off you can get the bacon cheeseburger combo with a drink for $10 plus tax. I really like that the combo comes in its own box, like a little gift to yourself. Also the staff was really nice and friendly. That's all for now. Happy poutineing everyone.
TL;DR Get the bacon cheeseburger combo and thank me later.
One of the best poutine place in Ottawa
OK, so here is the story. I hate Poutine. Always have, thought I always would.
Then I read a review about Pong's. The reviewer said they didn't like Pongs because they used skinny fries.
Skinny fries! I thought to myself, I like skinny fries.
Now I sad to say, I love pouting. Pong's to be precise. My waistline might not but too bad. 😉
