Get the bun cha Hanoi, it's the best version in Ottawa. The pho, vermicelli, and bun bo hue are good but similar to what you can get elsewhere.

Excellent food and great service. Went with a party of 6 including small kids. The pho was delicious and my kids ended up eating most of my vermicelli bowl because the grilled pork was irresistible. Will definitely be back next time we come to Ottawa.

A hidden gem in Ottawa. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We tried the rare beef pho and the beef vermicelli and immediately after the first few bites we could tell the ingredients were very fresh. There is also a variety of options on the menu if you can’t have meat.

One of the Vietnamese restaurant that can bring out the most authentic taste of Vietnamese foods. I go here weekly since the price is affordable and I don't get bored of going since there are a variety of dishes you can choose from. Highly recommend!

When I tell you I am a pho addict I am telling you I am a PHO ADDICT. I have scoured the whole city of Ottawa, Brockville, Kingston. (Aside from Pho Chopstix in Kingston. Pho Tuan has to be the best pho place ive ever been to! I got there twice a week and I live in the country of the west end. It is so damn worth it and amazing. You know how you usually sometimes leave pho places feeling overly full … almost not feeling to good? I gorge a large pho with extra meat and veggies and feel amazingly perfectly full afterwards… This pho restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walk in … Im always greeted with warm, friendly service, and the cozy atmosphere immediately made me feel at home. The broth was rich and flavorful, clearly simmered to perfection, and the portion sizes were generous. I loved how fresh and crisp the herbs and vegetables were, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. (Real rice noodles - not the ones at most pho restaurants) The attention to detail really sets this place apart. Whether you’re a pho enthusiast or trying it for the first time, you’ll be blown away by the depth of flavors. I also tried their rice paper wraps, and they were a perfect complement to the meal—light, refreshing, and filled with fresh ingredients. If you’re craving authentic, high-quality pho, this spot should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely delicious! I ate here for the first time in Nov 2024 based on some great google reviews and boy it did NOT disappoint. The service: Michelle was awesome. She suggested some options and asked about allergies and preferences. She even brought out a taste test to make sure things weren't too spicy. The food: Just wow! I had a pork dish that was like a deconstructed bowl of food. It was really good. Everything was tasty, fresh and so plentiful. My friend had their BBQ pork soup and he didn't say much because he was eating so intently.. I almost had to roll myself out of there... The space: its a small restaurant that filled up quickly but was nicely decorated. I will be returning to try new things...

It's hard to find a good bun cha Hanoi in Ottawa, but this was close to the one we had in Vietnam. The pho broth was good as well, it's quite flavourful. It's a good price for the quality of the dishes.

They make really good PHO. A few critical things made me give it only 4 stars sadly. Biggest thing that affected score was the noodles. They use linguini style noodles. In my travelled opinion having eaten pho well over a hundred different locations around North America... this style of noodles just doesnt work properly with chop sticks in my opinion. They dont clump up on the tip of the chop sticks nearly as efficiently as the spaghettini style rice noodles. They are far too heavy. Plus they were slightly overcooked in my bowl I prefer slightly undercooked pasta in all dishes worldwide. 2nd point... Meat was very good quality and good amount but slices were very small which again does not work nearly as well as few but larger thin slices. For those two reasons I can not give this pho 5 stars but for anyone who doesnt share my concerns its 5 stars. They give a nice size large bowl for $18 Parking can be a bit difficult as well but what city spot does better not many so just pointing it out.

Heard many good things about this place and we were not disappointed, amazing dishes, Bun Cha Ha Noi would be the dish to go for as it is the tastiest, generous portion and hard to find elsewhere even in a big city like Toronto or Montreal! The restaurant is on the small size and you might have to wait on a busy day. We would definitely be back soon.

This hidden gem on Somerset has truly set itself apart from other pho places in the area with its exceptional flavors and delightful dishes. Let me start with their Pho. The moment the bowl arrived at my table, I was immediately captivated by the aroma. Every spoonful was a symphony of flavors, with the perfect balance of herbs, spices, and savory goodness. The broth was incredibly flavorful and comforting, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The noodles were simply outstanding, distinct in texture and taste, setting Pho Tuan apart from every other Pho I ve had in the area. Another must-try dish is their Bun Cha Hanoi, which I can confidently say is one of the best meals Ive had on Somerset. The grilled pork was perfectly marinated and cooked to perfection, boasting a beautiful charred exterior and succulent, tender meat inside. The accompanying rice noodles, fresh herbs, and dipping sauce elevated the dish to another level of culinary bliss. The harmony of flavors and textures in the Bun Cha Hanoi was simply sublime, leaving me wanting more with each and every bite. Apart from the remarkable food, the service at Pho Tuan was excellent. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure that my dining experience was top-notch. If youre searching for an extraordinary pho experience on Somerset, Pho Tuan is the place to go. Don t miss the opportunity to try their Bun Cha Hanoi, which is a true gem among the dining options on Somerset.

Pho Tuan in Ottawa is an absolute treasure trove of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. This humble restaurant is an extraordinary sanctuary that invites you on a delicious journey to the heart of Vietnam through its rich and vibrant flavors. The menu is as diverse as it is tantalizing. However, the real masterpiece is their namesake dish - the Pho. The broth is meticulously crafted, simmered for hours to extract a depth and complexity of flavors that truly resonate in each spoonful. The combination of tender, thinly sliced meats and fresh herbs in the broth creates a comforting bowl of Pho that is unrivaled in Ottawa. In addition to the Pho, I cannot recommend the spring rolls enough. They are crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful on the inside, served with a tangy sauce that packs a delightful punch. These gems are a must-try appetizer. Their vegetarian options are equally impressive. The tofu is cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside while remaining soft and tender inside. The vegetable stir-fry is fresh, crunchy, and beautifully seasoned. The staff at Pho Tuan are truly commendable. Despite the busy environment, they are always attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure you have the best dining experience. Their recommendations were on point and greatly appreciated. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with a touch of traditional decor that enhances the authentic dining experience. Cleanliness and hygiene are clearly a priority, a trait that is highly appreciated. Pho Tuan is an absolute gem that offers a welcoming environment, exceptional service, and most importantly, phenomenal Vietnamese cuisine. Whether youre a devoted fan of Vietnamese food or a newcomer looking to try it for the first time, this restaurant is an excellent choice. After dining here, I cant wait to return and continue exploring their menu. Pho Tuan truly provides a heartwarming and unforgettable culinary experience, right here in Ottawa. Dont miss out on this fantastic spot!

A nice little Vietnamese restaurant in Ottawas Chinatown district. The dishes are quite large and plentiful, definitely good value for the price paid. Flavour was good for most items...we found some of the fried dishes to be a little bit over fried (fried spring rolls and fried tofu). Service was good, food was served quickly. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options on the menu, but you need to specify if you dont want fish sauce, beef broth or chicken broth... otherwise you wont be guaranteed to be eating a pure vegetarian dish.

My partner and I have been constantly trying to find authentic Asian food since we moved to Ottawa and Pho Tuan has definitely found its place in our favorite top 3. The food tasted very much of home. The price was very, very reasonable for what you get. Weve done both Dine-In and ordering in from Pho Tuan and it has been a hit every time. The Bun Cha Ha Noi is very good. My partner and I loved it. If you like grilled meats with fragrant, savory charcoal taste, definitely order the Bun Cha Ha Noi. My partner got a BBQ Pork Hu Tieu soup dish and it was very delicious as well. The egg noodles were firm, and had a good chew. The broth wasnt too salty and had a good flavor from the BBQ Pork. The staff are also very friendly if they have a moment to spare to chat with you. They were sweet enough to tell us all of the local places we should be looking into for shopping and Vietnamese foods. We will definitely be coming back here whenever we can!

We tried their pho and bun cha Hanoi. Pho was excellent but the true shining star of this place is their bun cha Hanoi. Every bite of the pork slices and patty blew me away. And every bite was simply sublime. You could tell this dish is what theyre known for because many tables around us were having bun cha Hanoi. (One table had everyone ordering bun cha Hanoi.) The grilled taste of the meat was beautiful. It comes with salad mixed with basil, and it compliments this dish so well. Highly highly recommend this dish!!! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great customer service.

Bun cha Hanoi was one of the foods I ate the most, growing up in Hanoi. I can say that this is one of the best I ve ever had - the meats (combination of marinated grilled pork shoulder and patties) is imo actually tastier than your average bun cha joint in Vietnam, and the seasoning is perfection.

A favorite of the Vietnamese community (and apparently of the consulate itself). Smaller menu that does a lot of Northern style dishes you wont see, or wont see the same way, elsewhere -- and because its small, the quality+consistency of execution is also higher than most. The way they do their meats, whether on rice or in a soup, is really the highlight. That high point is followed very closely by their soup bases, which are in competition for the best in town. They even serve tea we like more! As with some of the other widely recognized places, you may need to show up at good times to get in. Not a huge issue but call ahead if you have a large party. Standout menu items: - rice paper platters (make your own rolls) - s03 grilled chicken/beef noodle soup - s04 tender beef stew noodle soup - c06 porkchop & omelette on rice

Best Vietnamese restaurant ever. Beats our old favorite. Bun Cha Ha Noi is good for two and Pho was excellent. Beef bun cha is always made with high quality meat.

My family (8 of us) came to celebrate my mom s birthday. She is a picky eater but loves pho. She ate and drank the whole broth plus meat. The service was excellent. We were a big party but they were amazing at accommodating us. I will DEFINITELY visit again!

It s nice area but it s hard to find the parking lot, the best one I really like it that is Bun Cha Ha Noi. It s plenty of meat for craving Vietnamese food in Ha Noi

Pho Tuan has the best pho in town. The broth is amazing but what was even more impressive is the noodles. Al dente and not soggy. The restaurant also serves a few Vietnamese specialties, such as the delicious bún ch Hà N i. The portion is generous. Highly recommend!

So glad I came across this spot. We walked in at 1pm on Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was full and most of the patrons seemed to be of Vietnamese origin (always a good sign!). Food was authentic and fresh. Portion sizes were generous for the price. Service was excellent. Looking forward to coming back!

Went in two day in a row since I found this hidden gem last night! Food is great, service is exceptional! The waitress is so friendly, and remembered me and my food and flavour from last night 100%!! First day, My husband and I had: meat ball skewer, bun bo hué, and a bun. All the food are great! Bun bo hue is very delightful lemongrassy flavour. The total of the 2 dish plus 1 appetizer come to $53 after tax after tip Second day, I went in my self and had bun chai Hà N i. The food is so tasty and huge portion! It is so satisfying! The final price of the one dish is kinda higher ($28 after tax after tip), but because of the portion it makes sense. I had to pack more than half of the meat home~ Wheelchair accessibility: There is stairs so not very accessible for wheelchair

This place had more vibes than the rest of my Ottawa experience combined. My only concern was the speaker system/rubbermaid lid inspired ceiling combo. One was shorting out and the other seemed close to falling down.

I miss eating here every time I leave. They make you feel like you are at home. So friendly with amazing fresh food and the owner makes Barack Obama and the late Anthony Bourdain s favourite dish, Bun Cha that they are together while in Vietnam. I am so full, but I can t wait to come again soon. The only problem is, it is not accessible if you re in a wheelchair.

Pho is very tasty and flavourful. G i cu n is very good as well as the peanut sauce. Bún nem n ng ch giò is wonderful. Every dish tastes very authentic and you should take my words for it because I lived in Vietnam for 15 years. I have eaten these dishes in Vietnam growing up and I testify that Pho Tuan really nails the flavour down to every drops of the broth. Again, the dishes taste very authentic. I would say this place has the most authentic Vietnamese food in Ottawa. Good customer service as well. Friendly family business. Big proportion so the dishes are worth the money.

I had the bun bo hue and its really good! My only complaint would be that the meat to noodle ratio is like 5:1. Lots of meat which is great but couldve added a bit more noodles. Just a bit especially if youre charging $17 (i think). Overall food taste good. Service is good. Place is meh.

From Toronto and come here by the rating in Google. I found thiss the best bun bo Hue and bun Cha I ever had in this little restaurant. I cant give pho and springrolls reviews coz I didnt try them, but my daughter said they are good. She finished all The bun bo Hue broth is so rich in favor. Its meat and meat ball/sausage is so tasty as well. Its better than my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto. The bun cha is way better than the one I tried in Toronto and even in Ha Noi Vietnam. Its meatball is so juicy and favorable. The sause is so tasty as well. You cannot finish the whole dish by yourself unless youre big eater I would have given more starts if I can. Thank you so much for the yummy meal and your great & warm serving

Dishes are super delicious! I tried both their signature food Hanoi style Vermicelli (Bun Cha Ha Noi) & Hue Spicy Beef noodle(Bun Bo Hue). They are outstanding! The noodle soup smells good and bold. The vermicelli is full of meat topping . I belive one people will find difficult to eat all. Grilled meat is tasty and moist Next time will come back again!

I am a Hanoian and highly recommend to try bun cha Hanoi here. Although the grilled sliced pork was a bit dry for me but the minced pork was brilliant, very juicy marinated. Vermicelli was not the proper one and the fish sause was a bit too salty but overall, the dish was over my expectation already. Btw, portion can be shared among 2 - 3 if you are only a tasters.

I utterly, respectfully, and shamelessly implore every person and their mother to check this place out. As yet, having enjoyed it for my first time today, I can only give a single reason why. Here it is. This place has an absolutely heavenly dish called Bun Cha Hanoi that you simply cannot get at other Pho/Bun/Com places in the neighbourhood. And I am embarrassed to say that while I can see them from my yard, in eight years I hadn t thought to skip over to check them out, instead frequenting other Somerset regular Vietnamese joints , as I said until tonight. That vermicelli dish has converted me, and now I know my worth (lol ) when it comes to enjoying great neighbourhood bun. I will be back. I m both sorry and shameful for my oversight with respect to this quality, local, homegrown restaurant! P.s. The value was exceptional, especially given the portions. I wish that I had taken a picture, but honestly, my kitchen lighting isn t hot and I didn t want to mis-showcase them. The staff is also super friendly over both the phone and upon pick up. Special spring rolls are good, but Pho Thu Do is king for those. I won t hesitate to try their Pho or Com next time. WE LL BE BACK.

The food is always great. Even tho they only have spring rolls and vermicelli bowl for vegetarian option its always a treat for me and the portion of food is very generous. The prices are also very reasonable. Its a must try seriously. Dont forget to ask for their no cost cultural tea they serve. Go for it.
