iPho in Ottawa

There is no respect in this restaurant the woman spoke with me with a really bad way of speaking and she wouldnt let me go to the bathroom since Im a delivery guy

First place they have cutlery and plates for children They also gave us plates to share And food was very good! Food : 5/5

I forgot to write this review when it happened but earlier this year i went to IPHO and ordered a rare beef and meatball pho. Although the food was descent when i got to the bottom of my bowl and was enjoying my broth I took a bite into what i thought was a piece of a meatball but was actually a small rock! I have idea how that ended up in my soup but it had sunk to the bottom so i hadn t seen it. After I talked to lady at the counter about what i found in my bowl she was really rude and wasn t apologetic at all. She basically accused me of lying and adding it into the bowl myself to get my meal for free. I will not be returning and I recommend you don t either!

Kid-friendliness: Was provided extra bowls and kid friendly utensils and cup. Super helpful! Food

Clean Quiet Friendly Fast Tasty

Quite frankly, THE best Vietnamese restaurant I have ever been to. Everything very clean, very crisp and fresh food. Large menu with lots of choices. Would definitely come again.

I was a bit worried about coming here because of the low rating, i went mainly because the pho near me was closed until 4pm, but the pho was amazing, i had the chicken broth with bbq pork and shrimp wonton, it was great and the price was descent too

More attention to customers is needed. We were seated immediately, but while we were waiting for our third person, the waiter never came back to ask if we wanted drinks while we waited. The waiter was hard to hear; he spoke too quietly. One of our party got the wrong flavour of bubble tea, but didnt complain because she liked that flavour, but still, it wasnt what she ordered. My vermicelli noodles were broken into one inch pieces for some reason. We never got any napkins. While we were there eating, a family came in, sat for a bit and then left because no one ever came to greet them and give them menus. All in all, it was alright.

I don t get how you guys open at 11am but aren t open. It s just disappointing because I had to walk here by the confirmation of the sign you guys have up by the door saying you re open at 11am.

I went yesterday for some lunch and it was a great place for me to eat and study, food is amazing and the environment is also, nice staff too!

Food was okay. Restaurant is nice, but chairs are extremely uncomfortable. We met another couple for dinner and I would not recommend extended sitting. Vegetarian options: They have a vegetable broth rice noodle option thats gluten free and vegan.

Amazing beef brisket pho! Their fried chicken wings are well seasoned. The owner is a very nice lady too!

Great service, great food!

Mid food and horrible attitude racist server. Save your time and go somewhere else.

#30 and #45 By far the best pho I have ever had. My first taste was incredible! I cant wait to go back and try some of their other dishes, and maybe even sit down inside.

Been longing for a good pho and got satisfied. They have really good options including chicken broth and veggie options

I cant complain about this little gem of a place. I would go back in a heart beat.

Really good pho

Amazing noodles. Loved it!

Very good and very tasty and an excellent service

There were multiple insects floating in the tea

It was okay, but not the best soup. The spring rolls were a little dry too

clean bright place. Quick service. great hot soup. Good choice for a winter lunch

Almost always quite good, best Pho place in the neighborhood

iPho is my go-to pho restaurant in the Byward. I ve been here several times in the past 5 years and never had an issue with wait times or sanitation. Their broth is delicious and the noodles are thoroughly blanched.

Food was ok the decor was nice. One server was very rude and impatient. Didn t greet.(that s fine) Basically snapped the menu away from my hands when I m ordering and just seems very unpleased by my presence. The other server was great.

Looks nice but tastes very so so

The soup was very good. Light and tasty. The beef tendons are especially good. Worth trying.

Best in town

As an Aussie in Canada, I am always looking for good Asian food. IPho is the BEST Vietnamese restaurant Ive been to in 10 years. Brilliant, tasty food, quiet setting, not bad price. If youre after a taste of Vietnamese food, its the best. Parking: Nearby public parking station is easy.

Broth was missing something flavour wise. Fat level was good. Onions sliced way too thick. $20 for a small bowl including decent tip. Not bad pho by any means Food

Food was good but this place is a bit dirty.

The service is really bad.

Good tasting food. Awesome service.

Totally impressed with everything which seldom happens when dining out. The quality of food, level of service and portion vs price all topped out! The dining room is clean and the table setting (area for sauce, chopsticks etc) was organized plentiful. Totally recommend this location and we will definitely be back.

Awesome food an very friendly! We would love to eat here again. Omnomnom!

Delicious large portions, but no lunch special Vegetarian options: Yes lots of vegetables Kid-friendliness: Not a place for children in my opinion

The best soup in town!

Server was extremely polite and friendly, food tasted just like it did when I traveled to Vietnam. 10/10

Great pad Thai, Great rice dish with beef. Excellent coconut juice. My Only gripe with the restaurant is that its just slightly more pricey than other places that offer more portions for around the same price. But it is a good place to eat. The service is also very good.

Great pho, great people and great portion sizes for what you re paying. Also a nice warm place when it s freezing outside.

I love pho and i think here is a hidden gem in Ottawa! I tried their chicken broth spicy pho and i would recommend it! The portions are very good and jasmin tea was lovely! I really liked the stuff and their friendliness!

The pho was delicious. Portions were generous. Our waitress was very kind and attentive

Awesome Pho, spring rolls and pad thai. The lady was very friendly and hospitable. My kids loved both mango and coconut bubble tea. The only place that had it all in one spot. Very happy with the food will definitely come back for more and to try something else.

Really great pho and friendly service!

I love Pork and Shrimp Spring rolls. Its a comfortable and quiet place to enjoy your lunchtime and a good conversation with your friends.

April 14, at 18h17 hours, you paid my bill. I came looking for you outside but I could not find you. Thank you so much. I hope you can reach me. Review: great Mango salad and shrimp rolls ! It was quick and delicious. The peanut sauce was perfect.

very nice and delicious food. definitely come again.

Excellent service très bon repas mais nous navons pas reçu tout à fait ce que nous avions commandé Vegetarian options: Toufu

My Vietnamese girlfriend and I had a good time, we took two types of rolls as a starter and they were good! Stir-fried rice with shrimp and meat done right! We liked the coffee with ice and condensed milk

The food we ordered tasted okay, the most unbearable thing was that there were several flies flying around the table while we were eating, which was so disgusting and made us worried about the environment in which the food was processed. Also, the restaurant owner, being of Asian descent, was super kind and friendly to the white customers, however when dealing with Asian customers, it seemed like they owed her a million dollars. It s so funny and ridiculous. Unfortunately there is no 0 rating option, I really feel that giving one star is too much. I will never patronize again and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Five of us ate. One dish was good, two were ok. One was edable, and we had to send back the last. At the end they charged us for all five. Never going back. Take the 3.7 rating seriously. In retrospect, the fact that the place was empty at lunchtime should have been a warning sign.

superb good lunch, quiet place at the time we were there. great food.

Food is ok, service is terrible. After waiting nearly an hour for the dinner order to come, we received the wrong order TWICE despite being one of the few tables in the restaurant at the time. Drinks never arrived, the waiter needs to take notes, he tries to memorize things but apparently that doesnt work. No need to mention flies buzzing around all the time. I dont recommend this place for dine-in, for take-out it should be ok. Vegetarian options: Lots of options. Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for babies.

A bit disappointing for a Pho place. Place is poorly lit, quality and taste of the food was ok at best if youre desperate to have Pho, but there are much better options in the area and around Ottawa.

Double price, half portion and flies roaming around. Not a good experience at all specially when paying double price. Only 3 tpe of vegetables in all dishes and no fish on menu. Felt a waste of money. waitress busy playing poker with boss. Will never come again with family.

Delicious

A lady who served us were angry and rude. We did nothing to upset. The pho (soup) was decent one. But the service were not.

Ordered vegetable sping roll, for having lived in Asia for many years, I can absolutly say those were not fresh and reheated a couple of times. Asked nicely if it were possible to have another fresher batch and had awfull service back from the waitress. No return or exchange and still charged even if I couldnt eat it. My friend had a chicken pho and left out all the chicken because of the taste of it. Should have looked at the previous reviews. Absolutly dont recommend

Delicious

Quality of the food - average Price $$ Atmosphere: good Service: good P.S. yes the name of the restaurant is different than the sign outside

Excellent flavors of food and very big portions. Great value for money. You are there for the food not the decor, stop complaining.

The price is high and the food is very common.

Very good food, large portions

We ordered broth. I started serving the tea and something came out of the pot: an insect! My wife said it was a cockroach. I called the server and showed it to her. I started grabbing my stuff and she was so disgusted because we were leaving. I guess they are very used to having insects around their food.

Food: Lots lots of variety which is really nice. I ordered the Stir Fry Egg Noodles (shrimps and veggies) and it was just okay. It tasted good but the sauce was so salty. I couldn t finish. The waiting time was around 10-15 minutes. Drink: I had an Iced Coffee With Condensed Milk. It was not your typical overly sweet Asian coffee at all. It tasted like regular bitter instant coffee with a really tiny hint of sweetness. Barely noticeable. The waiting time was around 20 minutes We had 2 coffees and 1 juice 20 MINUTES. Also, we (3 persons) were the only ones there at the time. The restaurant was empty. Service: Fine. The waiter was there when we needed him.

best food ever love the chef

Just ordered some Pho soup from this place for the first time and found a cockroach in my soup halfway through the bowl.

We have been going here regularly for many years and it is one of the best places for Pho in the region,,,really miss it since the pandemic, so we will try for takeout this weekend Hint: ask them to put the noodles aside if you plan on eating later; easy assembly at home once you heat up the broth and drop into your Pho bowls.

Food was very good; take-out only for now.

Great takeout pho. Really fast!

The pho here is fantastic! Weve been coming here to get our pho fix for years now. This was our first post-pandemic indoor restaurant experience, and it did not disappoint. Very authentic, and very delicious.

Great service. Low food quality. I do not recommend.

The soups are extra good, the waitress was alone this evening but she is very professional, great service

The Pho was delicious and vegetables was cooked well-done, so tasty The waitress is adorable and gentle

Excellent service and awesome Pho!

Great little spot in the market for pho. Tried their cold spring rolls and they were delicious. Reasonable prices for the market area and nice fresh food.

Terrible management. I went with my family to dinner here and one of our bowl of pho had the end of a plastic bag in it. We told the waitress about it and was told they would replace the medium bowl with a small bowl and it would be removed from the bill. I then went to go pay for it and the medium bowl was still on the bill so I mentioned it to the waitress. She then calls the manger over who only offers to take 10% off the medium bowl of pho. Would rate this a zero if it was possible. They also did not ask for your contact information as per the Covid health requirements.

Favourite Phô spot in Ottawa!

Delicious, quick service, i love love loved my pho.

Very good vegetables soup at a very decent price

A great location for a tasty Pho.

I have ordered beef brisket which turned out to be all fat... Server is not responsive at all.

Pretty good food. Sad to say me and my family got there and ordered our meals. There was another table larger than us and got served before us. After they came after us and had a bigger party.

Horrible customer services and low quality of food. Ordered a rare beef soup to take out. The beef turned in white after I poured the soup in the bowl. I understand take out could results some concerns with the meal. However, I ve done take outs all the time and never seen white half cooked beef before. I brought the food back as I was told by the people who works there. I didn t receive good feedback and the chef yelled at me. Even tho I was being calm and just wanted to raise the issue. Even gossiped about me with a customer in front of me ! She even said no one has complaint about her food. I m the first one lol we ll look at all these reviews So rude. Don t want to come here again. Take your own risk.

Food is great and staff, very friendly

Had wonderful pho for takeout tonight!

Good meal but small portion

Food came out fast, pho broth has legit flavor as opposed to some watered down joints. All around good pho spot

I was studying and living in Ottawa for three years. I had pho with my friends so many times at this location. It reminds my best memory at ByWard market, Ottawa. Today, I brought my wife the first time being in Ottawa to share my memory with her. But this place (the male manager more specifically) ruined our day and her impression to Ottawa. The manager was so rude and impatient when taking our order. After taking our order, he slammed the menu on another table so hardly. When I pay at the counter (they did not give me the bill at the table), he kept staring at me unfriendly. He even questioned me whats wrong after I ask for the bill and receipt. I noticed that another reviewer had similar comments on the manager. However, I have to admit that the food was good and the waitress was helpful/patient as before. It cannot stop me making the decision that I will NEVER visit this place in my life.

artificial taste

Deep fried shrimp in eggroll wrapper was good as appetizer. UDON NOODLE IN CHICKEN BROTH and STIR FRY - EGG NOODLE were yummy as main course.

Excellent food and service.

Worst pho ever! Very bad service, awful attitude. I ordered a rare beef pho, and they serviced well done beef. I was not sure if it was right, the lady look at the well done beef and tell me it is rare, and said there is no differences between the rare, medium rare and well done, since the hot soup cook the meat. I was the only customer in the restaurant, I don t know how long it took for the rare beef to get fully cook by hot soup before it is serviced, and the soup was barely hot to even soften the bean sprouts. Very hard service attitude.

Very so-so

Food is good.

I and my husband, will NEVER visit this place in our life. The iPho deserves 0 rating. We couldn t understand their communication. Pretty disappointed of customer service skills. Manager(he) kept staring at us angrily and unfriendly. I noticed that another reviewer had similar comments on the manager. We were the only customer in the restaurant, we should have read google review before visiting and paying them.

This is a delicious little Vietnamese Restaurant. We visited this after Phase-3 reopening, and it was spacious and definitely clean and well laid-out.

My favorite Ottawa restaurant

I would not come back here again. The food is definitely overpriced for what you get. The pho is bland, the rare beef is tough and overcooked. The AC was not on during 30 degree weather. The overall experience was not great at all.

Delicious food and friendly staff

Great food! Hardworking staff. Love their Pho soup!

Hearty and big portioned. Great value for money.

Pho wasn t hot enough.

Great food, great price! The lady who runs it has great vibes.

Best Pho i ever had. I had Pho is 4 other places in Toronto and this one beat them all, hands down. Recommended

I always come back here for the best Thai food in Ottawa Gatineau. Best Thai food in town! Come back a few times a month. Excellent. Just finished my plate and it was to die for!!!!

Best Pho in Ottawa

Delicious phó and lots of options to taylor your soup to own specifications. Helpful, friendly and efficient staff.

Grwat Place

I was very disappointed. I came to get my iPhone fixed and they wouldnt fix it. It is iPho. Not iphone

This will be one of the few negative reviews I ve ever had to write but I can t let this restaurant get away with the absolute garbage that they served us. I ordered rice noodles special and my gf ordered fried rice, both dishes came out bland, with no seasoning used at all !!! Not even salt for goodness sakes. The fried rice consisted of 60% veggies that were mushy and 40 % white rice that was also mushy and tasteless...we called over the owner to tell her of our issues and she gives us this lame excuse that the food at the restaurant tastes different then the viet places we ve been too because she s from another part of Vietnam and she would do absolutely nothing to accommodate us I ve been to 20+ viet places in my life and none tasted as garbage as the food that was served to us, the owner should be ashamed of herself, peddling $45 worth of tasteless food and having zero customer service ability. I sincerely hope others take this warning to avoid utter disappointment

Ordered Fried Rice and it was incredibly bland, soggy, and tasteless; couldnt finish it. Told staff how disappointed I was in the dish, especially considering they charge $17 for it, and she offered no solution to try and improve it and insisted I still pay for something that definitely was not close to restaurant quality. Service was poor, no one came to take our orders even though there was only one other customer, and had to go to the front and find someone to place my order. Worst meal Ive ever had at a restaurant, would not recommend.

Great food! Lots of food! Served quickly!

The beef broth pho was excellent. I wouldve given this place a 5 star rating, but the service was real slow. If you have a solid hour or more, worth it. If youre in a rush (at lunch during work), you may wanna opt for a faster spot.

The only good Pho in Byward market. Decent prices, good broth and noodles.

Good rice wraps, good pho, ok price. Nothing special but good experience.

I like this place. Both food and service was good.

Awfull experience at this resturant! Tried this place recently. There was a hair in the bean sprouts from one of the chefs I asked the waiter to get a new one for me which she did and was kinda grossed out but continued eat since it wasn t in my main course, But then as I took a bite out of the rice paper wrap there was another hair deep inside of it!!! Was charged the full amount for my meal and didn t even receive an apology either! Do not go to this Pho Resturant, Thai Express is probably a better option than this place is.

The food was good. The service not as great. Except the nice lady, the other two gentlemen were not very helpful.

Food was not quite good.

Broth too greasy, meats are a bit too fatty for brisket and a bit bland

It wasnt my first visit but definitly my last, I will not support a restaurant that is not clean, reeks of cigarette and pot, serves food that is not fresh. the chicken in the curry tasted bad. The owners rude . The best pho or food is def not there......very bad experience

Really enjoyed this restaurant. It was a good ambiance. I would even say cozy. Food is good and the service was also very good.

Excellent service. A polite woman attended us so nice. The quality of food is very good, and their soup with rice noodle is a specialty.

food are good!!!

My partner and I went here for lunch and it was okay, though not great overall. The restaurant had no one else there, there was no music on so it was dead quiet, and when we got our pho, it was hot though verryyy salty

Great food.

Our favourite pho in the city.

Decent Pho

Very comfortable and inviting restaurant. I really like the multi layer floors as it helps a lot to not feel crowded. Ive been twice now, and both times the food has been excellent tasting and fresh. Not saying Ive tried a large variety of the menu though, because I had pho both times. I will go back!

Awful. Very disappointed. My cousin ordered a meal that is served Mild, medium, hot. When the meal arrived she could not eat it, very spicy... She mentioned to the waitress, her response, the menu tells you that. Yes, but, any place Ive been to the server has the courtesy to ask you if you want mild, medium or very spicy. When we mentioned this to the other waitress she too asked if this was asked before ordering and we told her no. Not one ounce of what can we do to make this better for you....we will wrap it up and pay and away you go...never again!!!!

Not impressed. I ordered from skipthedishes, I ordered a Rare Beef Pho. Says rare beef right? No. They send you raw beef, cooked noodles and ingredients for you to make yourself. If Im ordering out, is it not because I dont want to cook?.. worst experience.

The woman who attended me was really polite...I ordered stir fry udon noodles and was nice.

I found a hair on my plate, the owner came and took it away, pretending not to have seen it. Bring back a new disgusting plate, with leftovers. Worst experience ever. But the last one was served to me correctly by the employers.

Good food, service was nice

Normal

Good food and price

We enjoyed it, service is very good and the food is great

The ph is none too shabby. Ive been several times and will go back. The best in the Byward Market area, in my opinion, but there is better if youre willing to go farther out in Vanier or Chinatown.

Good portions, good taste, the dishes arrive very quickly.

Great place for pho . Enjoyed our chicken and beef phos.

Soup taste good but not a lot of meat, noodle dishes have limited choices not like local pho, service can be slow

When you walk in it doesnt seem like much there is a ton of random things at the lower level of the restaurant almost as if they dont dear people there anymore. Friendly staff and the udon bowls are fantastic! Huge portions and very flavourful! Definately would recommend for the food!

Pretty disappointed, pho was on the smaller side and the meat was too fatty for my taste. Service was kind of rude too

Good, cheap Vietnamese cuisine. Soothing soups for a cold

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant. Big portion at a low price.

Very good food and service. Yummy pad thai

Really really really really slow service. Not the best pho either.

Didnt actually eat here, so cant comment on the food..the service, however, was rather appalling. We came with a double stroller. Their entrance was a single door which couldnt accommodate it. There was a wider service entry but they werent willing to accommodate us. They could have been polite about it. But their attitude left much to be desired

Nice beef broth flavorful at the right price

Always love the pho here. But service takes a while. Once your ordered the pho comes quickly...its just ordering that takes a little longer

Pho was way too sweet for my taste...

Nice people that own/work at the place, but I didnt get what I ordered they didnt change it or add missing meats and what was there was really light in quantity. $17.50 for a medium soup and tea you can get much better elsewhere.

Excellent pho soup

The service is so bad. The elderly man just stood behind the bar and would not come to seet me, but he kept yelling even though I told him I could not understand what he was saying .. he wouldn t get off his laptop. Finally a waitress came over after he seemed annoyed that I couldn t understand him. As she took my order she cleaned another table. The food was good but they just drop it off and never come back. They don t understand the difference between a sit down restaurant and the mall food court. It s a shame the food is good, the service is TERRIBLE!!
