Excellent pho, but not only just that, other mains are delicious such as the specialty pad Thai. Great atmosphere, one of the classier viet places.
Vietnamese food has always been my main comfort food, and I personally think that this place is one of my favorite places to go because it's close to my home and it's delicious. The beef broth tastes so delicious, and the aroma of it is amazing. The chefs really know what they are doing.
I also think the Bun Thit Nuong is very delicious. The pork was marinated perfectly, and the nuoc mam is actually decent. Some other places, i find their nuoc mam very bland and has way too much water, and you could barely taste it. But here, the nuoc mam has the perfect amount of ingredients to it.
Thank you for your delicious meals and service, I will definitely return.
best pho around .. tried 3 others .. this place has the best flavor and noodles ... service is amazing and fast ... prices are reasonable as well .. will go again
This place is awesome. I've never had a bad experience here - the brisket beef hue is so delicious. Someone else below said the soup was greasy... it has oil yes, but that's what makes it satisfying and home-made. The broths you can tell are well made and cooked for hours, not watery or from some kind of soup stock package.
Best peanut sauce ever with their fresh-rolls.
Not bad, but not impressive. The salad rolls were average and the broth in the pho was a little greasy. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, the staff was very friendly and efficient. While I might not go out of my way, I would try it again.
Good food, good environment. Thumb up for the rice wrap, hue style beef noodle, house-made grilled pork to eat with fish sauce!! Their stir-fries are amazing too!! You will have no regret when you dine in
Stands out in Ottawa. For a city that has a million choices for Vietnamese, this stands out as one of the best I've ever had. The pork salad wraps were incredible, fantastic peanut sauce, and one of the best bowls of pho I've ever had. Looks very nice and well furnished inside, very polite service, and awesome food!
Fantastic. The new owners who took over the old Pho Maxim have done a terrific job in updating and upgrading the décor, service and food. The Phos are delicious. My favorite dish is the Bun Cha-if you like pork you must try this duo of grilled meat and the house special pork patties. Service is very friendly.
One of our favourites. My husband and I love this restaurant. We try something different every time we come in, and haven't had a bad meal yet.
- service is excellent- very friendly and knowledgeable.
- prices are fair
- atmosphere is comfortable
- great portion size
- favourite place for pad thai
I highly recommend this restaurant!
Great Ambience & Good Food. I have been to this restaurant many times since the change over from Pho Maxim previously. My wife and I definitely rate the food highly, especially the Pho Hue, which is spicily flavored to be enjoyed thoroughly, spoonful by spoonful! It reminds us something close to an authentic Malaysian curry noodle soup! Much better than the food offered from across the street!! No kidding! The place has very nice décor going and offers a more conducive environment to sit and enjoy a meal than most other crowded Pho places, except that the booth seats are a little low for smaller-built clients. I agree that they should not charge for the tea which can be a put off for most customers. They should know that this is not a high end restaurant and most customers are more than willing to put enough tips to make up for the cost of the tea. Other than that, the food are delicious and need to be discovered by more people via advertisement!
I had a wonderful dinner this evening with the girlfriend at 36 pho Viet.
The atmosphere was very relaxing and calm the background music wasn't too loud and a very tasteful lofi jazz.
It wasn't that busy when we arrived but as we were eating it got pretty busy but I'm happy to say our server was as attentive from the start till the end.
We started dinner with a pork skewer and they were perfectly cooked and very juicy.
The soups came shortly after and we're still very hot smelled Amazing.. they came with a side of bean sprouts and some lemon which was a great addition.
We ended the meal with the pickled lime soda and we were warned it was quite salty. But still very sweet as well. We didn't finish it but I'm sure if you had a couple shots of tequila it would be a great end to a wonderful meal.
We had the most welcoming experience. Having moved from Vancouver and trying many Vietnamese places, this was on par with the good ones.
The food is good and service impeccable. We had the pho and spring rolls which were delicious. The pho broth is more on the milder side and more sweet. It is clean tasting and doesn't have that msg feel that some restaurants add in.
The owner was very gracious and attentive. The location has a good amount of parking as well which is a bonus. There's ample sitting in the restaurant so finding space for a group shouldn't be an issue.
Overall, it was a good experience.
Very friendly and super tasty food! I find their food very flavorful. This is their takeout for tofu pad thai. Their tofu is soft but has a lovely exterior, a nice crunch to the veggies and noodles are always perfectly cooked! I strongly recommend them!
Nice decor, good menu selection, and friendly staff. Hot soup (which tend to overcook the noodles) could be a bit saltier.
Very nice and comfy place. Very tasty food, friendly staff. Good price for what you get.
The food and service here is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend 74 and 35 on the menu if you haven't tried it.
Amazing soups here. I always order no noodles and extra veg and they are very accommodating!
