I had lunch here recently and overall I enjoyed it…read more I had the H11 which was a chicken broth noodle soup with shrimp, calamari rings, fish cake slices and imitation crab sticks, with tapioca noodles and a shrimp cake on the side. All the noodle soups are $7.95 for a small, $8.95 for a medium and $9.95 for a large. I got a medium and although I have a big appetite, I felt it was the right size for me. I usually get greedy and order the largest size possible since the difference in physical size between a small and a large (or x-large if they have such a thing) is significant, yet the difference in price is usually just a couple of bucks. I probably would have been able to finish a large, but I likely would have been uncomfortably full. With a medium, I was satiated, but still comfortable. My noodle soup was good, but I found the broth a little on the sweet side for me. It wasn't super greasy/oily, which I appreciated, but it also wasn't very fragrant. I got 1 large shrimp in the soup and the shrimp cake on the side contained 2 shrimp (which was cool because most places only give you 1 shrimp in the shrimp cake). The calamari rings were too chewy for me, not quite like a rubber band, but close. The imitation crab was ok and the fried fish cake slices were good, but some slices were razor thin - literally like shaved deli meat thickness! Some slices were normal thickness though. The soup had fried onions in it, as well as shredded savoy cabbage. They brought me a small plate of bean sprouts, basil leaves and a lime wedge (as is traditionally served with noodle soups), but I said I didn't want it so they brought it back to the kitchen. The shrimp cake was tastier than most shrimp cakes that I've had. It was doughy and slightly chewy on the inside, but crispy on the outside. My only compliant is that it tasted like the oil it was fried in was a little old and could have used a change. The tapioca noodles were nice and chewy and they didn't skimp out on the quantity. Service was good. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and they poured me some ice water shortly after I was seated. They give you a pen and a piece of paper the size of a post-it note and you write your order on it. I was served by both a young man and a young woman. They were both very nice and checked up on me. Now when I went to pay at the cash register, I noticed on the bill that they had charged me an extra $1 for "tapioca noodles." I questioned this charge, as I did not order extra noodles and nowhere on the menu does it say there is an extra charge for tapioca noodles. On the menu H11 is described as "seafood medley, crispy shrimp cracker with tapioca noodles." Both servers seemed as confused about the charge as I was and both denied punching in the extra charge, so in the end they just corrected my bill. I thought the whole situation was a little weird. Nevertheless, they were nice about it all. Decor is that of a casual eatery. The restaurant is in a strip mall next to Popeye's (the supplement store). There's lots of free parking. Overall, 3.5 stars from me.

I visited Pho Thi along with my mother to catch up and to have some delicious pho…read more It was our first visit and we were not sure what to expect. When I entered the restaurant it seemed small and it was quite hot in there. We were greeted by the hostess and she seated us and proceeded to bring a kettle of green tea. I almost left but my mom suggested we switch to a different area (near the windows) and my perspective totally changed (I guess being away from the kitchen helped). I ordered some chicken spring rolls to start and within a few minutes, our order arrived. It was deliciously made and it tasted amazing. We ordered two large H6 (pork pho) and Oh My Gawddd they brought two humongous bowls with a plate with the condiments. The table already comes prepared with 3 different sauces. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the broth tasted fresh, it was not my first time at a pho house but my GOD this restaurant makes really great pho. The staff was very attentive but not overwhelming, the washroom is very clean. I had a really good experience at this place, as always..please support your local small businesses.

It turns out, it's up the ramp on the left hand side. Once parked up here, there is a couple of glass doors and one of them takes you directly into the restaurant. Great to know for next time I'm in the area! As you walk down the stairs, you'll see it's renovated pretty nicely and not overly done. We grabbed a seat and were served with water pretty quickly. We had a look through the menu and they serve up more than just ramen. There's don, sukiyaki, code noodles as well as a bunch of sides. Since it was a pretty cold day, I knew I was going to settle on a ramen. I settled on the spicy tantan as I get that at many places. Service was good and the food came out pretty quickly. I started with the broth. It was alright. I got a second spoon with some chili oil and it that was OK too. I tried some of the ramen...it was OK. I don't know why but it reminded me of instant noodles so wasn't a huge fan of that especially at the price point. The egg was cooked well and the other toppings are decent as well. Portion size was standard but staff are super friendly and attentive. Even though the ramen I ordered was ok at best, it's nice to see more shops pop up around Ottawa. I'll definitely come back to try one of the dishes.

The Short Version: Casual restaurant in Old Ottawa South…read morespecializing in Vietnamese cuisine, but their menu has many popular Chinese items and Thai items as well. The Long Version: I'm a bit surprised by the poor reviews because I had dinner here recently and I thought it was pretty good. I had the Three Meats Vermicelli ($18.25). It comes with grilled chicken, beef and pork, as well as vermicelli, pickled carrots, cucumbers and lettuce. It usually comes with bean sprouts, but I asked for no bean sprouts. It also comes with fish sauce on the side, but I didn't use any and the marinade on the meats gave plenty of flavour and I don't like my food too saucy anyway, so I thought it was good without sauce. The meats were relatively lean, without any gristley bits so I appreciated that. The portion of meats was also good. The vermicelli was nicely cooked, not too mushy and not too hard. Vegetables were fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I've read on several different platforms that service is rude. So the server I had said courteous words, but the manner in which she said them sounded brusque and abrasive to my ears. I'm not sure if that's just her usual tone. I don't know what to make of it, so I'll just leave it at that. Service was very quick. I was greeted immediately and led to a table. I got water right away. I didn't even have time to take pictures of the entire menu to post on Yelp because the server was asking me if I was ready to order shortly after giving me the menu, lol. The food came out quickly too. These people don't waste any time! Decor is casual. They are only open for dinner and are closed on Mondays. Street parking only. Review #89 (2026)

I got the Combination Plate #10 ($14.95) which comes with an egg roll, chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli and General Tao's Chicken. I also got the Lunch Special B ($9.95) which comes with an egg roll, chicken fried rice, 5 sweet and sour chicken balls, and a canned drink of your choice (I got root beer and it was A&W Root Beer). Note the Lunch Specials are only available 11am-2pm Mon-Sat (they are only open for dinner on Sundays). I walked in and ordered at the restaurant and waited there for it. It was ready in about 10 minutes. Service was courteous and efficient. It's a takeout only operation. I was impressed with the Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls. The batter was crispy on the outside and not excessive in relation to the meat. The meat was lean chicken breast and was moist and tender. My little niece loved it. She is a picky eater and eats very little but she ate 3 pieces! The egg rolls were pretty standard, with ground pork and vegetables. They were crispy. The chicken fried rice had tiny pieces of chicken breast in it as well as green onions and soy sauce. The beef and broccoli was more broccoli than beef, but the beef was tender and lean, and the broccoli was a good texture, not too mushy, but not too hard. It wasn't too salty. The General Tao Chicken was good. Like the Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls, the batter was not excessive in amount. It was crispy and there was good meat to batter ratio. The sauce wasn't tangy nor spicy though. It lacked that fiery kick, but was still enjoyable. There's free parking on site.

The place was always empty. So one day the hubz brings home some chinese take out and just told me he got the food from a restaurant down the street. As hungry as I was, I dug into some almond guy ding, steamed rice, and tofu mixed with vegetables and found the food quite tasty. The food appeared like it was handled with care, packaged very well, and the vegetables were bright and crunchy. The food was enjoyable. The hubz confessed that he got it from Hung Fatt. I was quite impressed. There were no leftovers with our meals as we demolished it all in one sitting. Although I only tried a couple items from their menu and can only speak highly of those items, I am intrigued to try this restaurant again. 3.5 stars.

My husband and I had dinner here and it was excellent…read more I had the Beef and Spring rolls Vermicelli ($12.75) from the Vietnamese menu, while my husband had the Combination Plate with General Tao Chicken and Mixed Vegetables ($14.75) from the Chinese menu. The grilled beef and spring rolls vermicelli was legit! It was so tasty. The beef was flavourful and also moist and juicy, yet lean and not fatty nor gristely at all. The best of all worlds! I loved the beef and cannot rave enough about it. The spring rolls were good too. Crispy on the outside, with ground pork, vermicelli, onions and carrots inside. The wrapper was the more common wheat wrapper as opposed to the rarer rice paper wrapper, which is in my opinion more delicious, but admittedly not as popular here in Ottawa. The vermicelli was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying vegetables (cucumber, carrots, lettuce and mint) were fresh. I asked for no bean sprouts. I also asked for no fish sauce and was asked if I wanted peanut sauce instead, and I accepted. The peanut sauce was delicious. It didn't have that hoisin flavour that some peanut sauces have that I don't like. It wasn't too rich, but was full of peanut flavour. The portion size of the vermicelli bowl was good too. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My husband's dish was very Westernized Chinese Food, but it was good for what it was. I had a piece of the General Tao Chicken and it was a bit spicy, but mostly sweet. I liked it. The mixed vegetables were good, but nothing remarkable IMO. I found the chicken fried rice a bit on the salty side. My husband enjoyed his meal though. I think that Vietnamese food is their specialty and more authentic. The Chinese food is more Westernized. Given that this restaurant is in a strip mall in Kanata North, I think the Westernized food is to accomodate the desires of the local clientele. They have chopsticks as part of the place settings, but also forks and knives ;) Service was courteous and efficient. Decor is simple and it's a very casual eatery. It is wheelchair accessible. They serve wine and beer. If you're in Kanata North and craving some good Vietnamese food, you don't have to travel far, there's Phu-Yen! With all due respect, I was a bit surprised to find this gem in a nondescript strip mall in suburbia ;) Lots of free parking in the strip mall.
