Ordered from skip the dishes. The beef pho noodle soup was amazing. All the add ins for the soup were a great touch. I enjoyed the chicken dumplings too they were really nice and juicy. The order was ready and delivered very quick.

I rarely write negative reviews, but my recent visit to this restaurant was such a letdown that I felt it necessary to share. From the moment we sat down, the service was shockingly poor. The server completely forgot to take our order. After waiting 30 minutes with no acknowledgment, we had to walk up to him to remind him—only to find him scrolling on his phone the entire time. Adding insult to injury, we weren’t even given water while we waited. When our food finally arrived, it didn’t get much better. I ordered the pho, but the broth was bland and completely lacked any flavor—nothing like the rich, aromatic broth you’d expect. To top it off, we were charged an unexpected $3 fee for extra lime, which the server never mentioned when we asked for it. And when it came time to pay, there was an additional 50-cent charge for using a card. Overall, the experience was incredibly disappointing. Between the inattentive service, lackluster food, and surprise charges, I can’t say I’d recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and money and go elsewhere!

I ordered a fried rice today and it was soggy and very watery. Meat tasted really old and overall the experience was really bad. I ordered this because I ordered the same dish few weeks ago and it was really nice. But this order disappointed me. Felt like it was heated up after keeping in the freezer for sometime. Very unpleasant presentation and not to standards.

The food was great and filling and it was presented in a fancy way. The washrooms were clean and there was calm music playing. We ordered the 30B.

UberEats delivery order: satisfied with the food and delivery time was as expected. Ordered banh mi sandwiches (grilled pork and deli versions), chicken fried rice and fried shrimp wontons. Minus one star for the banh mi sandwiches since the bread and deli meat were just ok and there were no chillies. Pricing was a bit high too. Good portion for the fried rice. Highlight was the shrimp wontons! Super yummy. Would like to try other menu items in person such as their pho.

I don’t usually leave reviews about food but when I do it’s because I don’t want others wasting their money or getting stomach symptoms from sketchy food. The rice with beef and chicken was by far the worse I had. The meat were cold and thin. Chicken was slightly warmer but this made me suspicious to even accept the heating up offer. Probably we’re pre packaged meat just microwaved. The coconut drink was small portion as well as you can see the fill line. Price for food was 18$ and drink was 5.95. The second pic of the food is what I threw away after I told them it wasn’t good. They did not offer any options aside to heat it up. But hey I rather eat safely than take a chance and get sick. Atmosphere is nice though!

It’s generally open late night so it’s a good to place in nighttime; so it’s very busy all the time. As they cater a lot of customers it’s hard to maintain quality to be honest. I think I had below average Tom yum soap after long time; the shrimp wonton was alright; and price wise it’s expensive. Best part was customer service, they are very friendly and humble.

This is literally the only Pho place when you order delivery that will not provide all the other items that you would assume would be in a Pho (the herbs, lime, adequate sriacha, and hoisin). Just be prepared to not have all the essentials if you are ordering online from this restaurant.

Ordered by Uber. The food was warm, but it didnt have any taste. There was no flavor to any of the food I had. The fried chicken dumplings were dry and tasted old. It was not fried . The chicken pho had big chunky meat, and there was no condiment that came with it. It was the worst Pho I ever had in my life.

When there are so many great Pho places around, this one shouldnt be the one chosen. The meat was not to the standard in the soup, and the broth could be better as well. Ended up there because the best Pho on booth st was closed, maybe the sandwiches are a better deal?

January 22, 2024

The worst pho restaurant! Stay away from here! Not worth the price. They charge $17/pho depends what you order. Worse food worse server. I don t recommend anyone to come here. Food was horrible - the soup was not hot, came out not warm nor hot, less meat, lots of pho. Taste like water. Server - unprofessional. Like a beginner.

We ordered 2 rice wraps.. There was only vermicelli and lettuce, no mint, no carrots, nothing. The peanut sauce was only half the container it was packed in. The pho I ordered lost half of the broth in the bag, there was no basil or lime and we were given Louisiana Style hot sauce instead of Siracha. Also chopsticks were not included... I guess they though we dont know what Vietnamese food is all about... Will DEFINITELY not be ordering from them again. Cheap ingredients and half are missing. Disappointing, especially at those prices.

I like this pho place the best out of the many options in this area. The reason? They give you a decent amount of meat. If you want fine dining, this isnt the place (is there such a thing as fine dining pho?)... but this is a great option for regular fare with good serving sizes.

Pho Bo Ga King is my go-to destination when Im in the mood for an authentic and satisfying bowl of Pho. This hidden gem has consistently delivered high-quality, delicious Vietnamese cuisine, and has won a special place in my heart. The Pho here is exemplary. The broth is flavorful and rich, a testament to the hours spent simmering it to extract the full depth of flavors. The noodles are cooked just right, maintaining that essential bounce and bite, while the meat, whether you opt for beef or chicken, is tender and well-seasoned. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Pho, but their menu offers a range of other mouth-watering Vietnamese dishes too. The spring rolls are crispy and flavorful, and the Bun Cha is another favorite, offering a great balance of textures and flavors. Portions at Pho Bo Ga King are generous, making it great value for money. Additionally, they offer a variety of sauces and fresh herbs on the side, allowing you to customize your dish to your taste. The staff here is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The environment is warm and cozy, making it a great place to enjoy a comforting meal on any day.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

The best service in terms of being open late, until 5 a.m. I believe that most other restaurants are closed. Ive been here a few times for that reason. Driving from one end to the city is worth it. Service is good. They come to check a couple of times throughout. Your write your own order. The atmosphere is cozy and small, which makes it feel more like a lounge. It can be considered relaxing if by yourself.

December 22, 2023

I hardly write reviews, but Im sitting here in my apartment feeling powerless from this situation, so this review is the only thing I can do. I ordered food from this place almost 2 hours ago. I chose this restaurant because they had their own delivery, and Id rather support the business than Uber Eats or Skip. Big mistake It made me pay for delivery and a tip up front, and now my order has not arrived for almost 2 hours. I called the store, and they said the driver should come pick it up in 10 minutes. Its already way past the delivery time they gave, and it hasnt even been picked up for delivery. Theres nothing I can do. They have my money and are not offering any sort of refund for this situation. Even if this ends up being the best food Ive ever had, its not worth this. At this point, Im not even convinced this order will show up.

★★
Local Guide
December 22, 2023

Passable pho and a half-decent atmosphere is about the only praise I can give this place. They have a major issue with cleanliness. The few times Ive been (when preferable places closed earlier) the utensils have been dirty, there was a fly in my pho, a sizable spider lowered itself in front of our faces from a gnarly web on the ceiling, and the bathrooms were among the filthiest Ive used. To make matters worse, the service is brutal. The servers are inattentive and actually kind of snarky if you ask for literally anything beyond your order. Learn from my mistakes - if youre craving pho and every other Vietnamese place in the area is closed, avoid it anyways.

Worst experience ever , we ordered a plate of chicken spring roles. The waiter came to us and asked if we want any other thing than spring roles and we said no. She asked us to leave the restaurant as people are waiting and they want soup as well, so just because we only ordered one item they threw us out of the restaurant. Never ever go to this restaurant.

Never again. I ordered the Bún. I knew that $19.50 was a little too expensive but I had a craving and my other go-to viet place was closed. Worst mistake. The pork and chicken tasted exactly the same. It was super rubbery and bland. Barely any veggies and the spring rolls were mostly carrot with a breath of shrimp. I basically paid $25 for a plate of vermicelli. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Horrible quality of food, I dont see the passion.

We were a regular customer of pho bo go King but today was our last visit. First there was a hair in our tea, and it was again another hair in my vermicelli. Very disappointed.

December 22, 2022

With all the choice we have for Vietnamese food in Ottawa, I do not recommend this place. The food was cold, the chicken super dry, the pho has little meat and the bol was dirty. But the worst thing is not the food it was the services, the waiter seems to be angry and not willing to serve/work, when you ask a question he just look at you and make you feel that you are bothering his life even though the restaurent was empty. The others pho bo ga are much better.

Ordered the chicken beef pad Thai last week. Received a huge container filled with noodles and a few strips of beef. Absolutely no veggies or other garnishes, just a container of noodles pretty much. Will never order there again, very disappointing.

I love this restaurant. There is such a big selection to choose from. Its affordable and my favorite is how they do their menus with photos, making it easy to understand and choose. The food is delicious and the service is fast.

Best pho in Ottawa based on my wifes, daughters and my own opinions. Weve visited a lot of pho places in Ottawa and Pho Bo Ga King has the best pho, especially the broth! Also if you order the rare beef, it is actually served rare and cook until tender in the soup. I really like that and this is not easy to find (most serve the beef completely overcooked). The Restaurant is a quiet place with a nice relaxed atmosphere, another big plus in my opinion. I have eaten there often with my wife and daughter, and we all enjoyed our food each time. All of us will definitely keep coming back. My daughter loves the bubble tea and my favorite is the #07 rare beef and tendon pho.

Pho was only ok. Small portions compared to other places. They didnt include lime, basil, or sriracha sauce.

Absolutely delicious! Everything we had was amazing and reasonably priced Vegetarian options: I would have to admit that the vegetarian options arent really well advertised in the menu and you kind of have to do a bit of digging, but there is some vegetable fried rice, some great desserts and a tofu roll that is amazing

I ordered the Bun 3, combo ham Bahn mi and iced coffee. The food lacked flavour, pretty bland but good sized portions. The iced coffee was really good. The lady serving me was nice and attentive. Wish I couldve rated this place a little higher.

Service was nice. But the food was almost dangerous to eat. Things didn t smell fresh the meat had a strong smell to it the Spring rolls smelled so strong from stale oil. Spiderwebs on top of our table and on top of the table beside us unacceptable. You cannot leave spiderwebs in the dining room of the restaurant. Clean the your restaurant!! Or stop serving people food just go find another thing you can do.

Do not recommend. They gave us vegetables that shouldnt be served to anyone. We ordered a couple vermicelli plates, and shrimp rice paper rolls with peanut sauce. The peanut sauce hardly tasted like peanuts and was super runny (this is really a personal preference issue). The shrimp in the rolls tasted a bit fishy, had old lettuce instead of Thai basil, and were mostly vermicelli noodles. Vermicelli had a good sauce. Oddly all the noodles were cut up, making it difficult to eat with chopsticks. Chicken was dry, pork was okay, shrimp was better than the wraps but also just okay. The spring rolls only had carrots inside. Some of the lettuce was brown, and none of the cucumber looked or tasted any good. I will not be returning. 2 stars because most of it (noodles & meat) was at least edible.
