Some of the best pho in Ottawa. Great service. A must try for any pho lovers out there.

Cheerful decor, water comes without asking - in a wine bottle! which is fun.  Service is good, cheerful and quick. The menu includes some harder to find dishes like Saigon Crab Foam soup as well as Hue style beef soup, neither of which I've yet to try.  I keep getting seduced by their other dishes... The chicken pho is very good. Veggie pho is also nice.  On the must-try list: a number of northern Chinese BBQ dishes which come sprinkled with a cumin based seasoning, from BBQ quail egg and BBQ tofu - my two faves, to skewers of lamb, beef, pork or chicken.  They have a beef carpaccio-like dish which is worth trying.  Another fave - the Banh Cuon, steamed rice noodle rolls filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, and topped with both crisp fried onion& sliced scallions as well as slices of Vietnamese sausage which tastes akin to mortadella, and a cucumber beansprout salad on the side.  When I don't know what to order I pick the rice platter, which is large and has a bit of everything from a light salad, to chicken soup with onion, a good amount of rice topped with 2 choices between marinated grilled beef, pork, chicken or shrimp, or else over-easy fried egg. The egg yolk is great with the beef which has a wonderful flavour from the marinade.  They also have a very nice rich beef stew which is a bit like a french beef stew - big chunks of beef, potatoes and carrots and other veggies in season - but with the spicing of course are not at all French -  featuring star anise and basil. Comes with a mound of rice - very filling!  My boyfriend is addicted to the mango shakes, which use condensed milk and fresh mango and make a nice desert.

Great pho!! One of the better broths I have tasted. The service was quick and they were very attentive. I found the flavours to be great, the prices were some of the cheaper ones I have seen and they had a variety of options for your pho. Would definitely go back!

Nice little spot for a vermicelli bowl. Portions are more than enough and I especially enjoy having a few different hot sauce options to mix in. Had the chicken + spring roll vermicelli for take-out as well and it was just as good!

Among the best bowls of pho in Ottawa. Significant portions (large could feed three people). Small, cozy space (~10 tables and small bar area). Convenient takeout option.

Excellent Pho! Have tried a few, from special hot to #32... The chef takes great care in preparation, even for take out where we were pleasantly surprised that the thinly sliced beef was not pre cooked but raw and cooked once added to the broth, unlike many other places - exceptionally tender, perfectly done every time! Maybe a tad too much salt, but everything else more than compensates.

Friendly chef/owner, place is clean, fresh atmosphere (benefit of nice/open kitchen from previous I owner, a bit), again a nice subtle improvement to many of our favourite 'hole in the wall' type paces. (Our prev favorite, now no. 2 is Pho Ba Ga on Lebreton).

Would be great if they were liscensed.

Came for lunch and got a vermicelli bowl with pork & spring rolls. Service was fast, and portion size was quite decent. Pork has a nice char on it, but was still very juicy and flavourful, and spring roll was quite good as well. Will definitely be back in the future.

Had the quail app and beef pho. Both were pretty good and the beef pho had a lot of beef in it. There is more fat in the soup than other places, and that greasiness sticks with you after you leave. The server was nice.

Best bun bo hue I've had in Ottawa. They gave generous portions of the beef and Vietnamese ham, the soup base was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Looking forward to going back

Great Vietnamese beef stew I just had tonight (it was a special but I hope it will be on their regular menu soon!), it was the most delicious stew I've ever had! And it's a very good value for what you get!

Amazing food and very fast service. We got the rice wraps with shrimp, Pho (well done beef) and Vermicelli with chicken and beef. All dishes were so delicious and came with bean sprouts, basil, and sauces to add. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves Asian food. The service was fast and friendly as well!

The food here is incredible. As an VIetnamese person myself i'm very picky with my viet food. The Bun Bo Hue (F1) here is something I have almost weekly. Best in town. so tasty if you're OK with a little bit of spice. Otherwise my other go to is definitely the rice dishes. Delivery available too. Great spot, great owner. Very hard worker and great chef.

One of the best pho places in Ottawa. Their home made hot chili oil is to die for. Very impressed with the quality of the food and attentiveness of the staff members.
