Yup a 5 star find. Very good prices, cheerful service and convenient to downtown Ottawa. Everybody recommends the Green Papaya salad. I dislike papaya but loved this dish. The grilled pork on the bun was some of the best I have had. A new fav.

I used to come here every week when I was living in Ottawa. My favourite and the best Vietnamese restaurant in Ottawa in my opinion. They have regional Vietnamese dishes that are hard to find anywhere else, such as Banh Xeo (Crispy rice pancake with pork and shrimp) and Bun bo Hue (Spicy Lemongrass beef noodle soup) Glad to be able to eat here when I visit Ottawa

Great family run restaurant on Booth St. with some unique menu items for a Vietnamese restaurant including fried rice cakes with eggs. Friendly service and good food. Remember to check the white board for their specialty dishes.

BEST TOM YUM BEEF NOODLE SOUP! Banh Xeo is cooked perfectly, crispy, loaded with the ingredients. And their prices are reasonable and fair! Definitely would recommend coming as Ive been there at least 15 times over the last 6 months since Ive discovered this place!

Reasonable price. The portion is smaller than other places, which is more suitable for Asians in general. The owners are very hospitable. Free candies here are a must after having your meals. Banh canh cua gio heo is tasty but a bit oily from the fried onions.

Hands down the most underrated, and my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Canada. The food is fresh, delicious and an amazing value and the service is always friendly and warm. Their prices and portion for the food has remained and is sooooo affordable and cheap, I honestly. You can still grab mains for around 10-12 and the portion sizes are similar to mediums at other restaurants at prices for 30-40% less. Tried pretty much everything on their menu and this is what it's supposed to taste like, so freaking good and authentic. Love it! Staff are really friendly and you can see how hard they are working. They deserve the best! Overall, this place is awesome. I would HIGHLY recommend trying out the food here!

First time there. Great selection of foods and the dishes are great tasting. I like the inside ambience reminds me of the little Saigon restaurants on Westminster and Bolsa in Garden Grove

Easily my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area and the most authentic food I've had in Ottawa. Trying out all of the dishes on the appetizer portion of their menue brings back memories of traveling through Vietnam, and I have not found this anywhere else in the city. The owner is genuine and very nice, portions are good, and prices are in line with what you are getting. If you are looking for off the normal usual pho, this is the Vietnamese restaurant you need to try.
