Don't pass this gem of a restaurant by while in Ottawa

If you are looking for really good pho then Vietnam Palace is the place to go in Ottawa. The spring rolls are delicious, the sizzling beef plate is excellent, the service beyond reproach. We have visited Ottawa several times and Vietnam Palace is always on our list of must-eat-at restaurants. Consistently excellent, always greeted by wonderful hosts who cater to... more

very good

This was a return visit to this restaurant. the location is great even has parking. We enjoyed the food as each of the 4 of us ordered different dishes to share.Each dish was delicious and nary a crumb was left. Excellent food & service.
Our yearly reunion of friends will be at The Vietnamese Palace Restaurant.

Excellent

While spending a long weekend in Ottawa, my wife and I took our two young children here for dinner, and it was terrific! The service was fast, and the staff were sweet to my kids. The menu has a huge selection of items, and a lot of vegetarian options. Everything we had tasted fresh and delicious, and the prices were... more

Always great service with quality food

My husband and I frequent this China Town gem. We have brought many family members and friends and every single item we order is perfection. There has never been an error in the many times we have been. The food is flavourful and the portions are a great size. They never have to write down our order, they remember us... more

My favourite asian restaurant...no contest

The food is always delicious and fresh. I frequent the Vietnam Palace on Somerset where I can get great service and value. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Just like Ho Chi Minh City

I've eaten in Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam Palace - I can't tell the difference. I always get V2 (vermicelli noodle bowl) and it is the best I have had in Ottawa. Make sure to ask for their hot sauce - it definitely kicks it up a notch.

Great food. Highly recommended.

Been going here for years. Whenever I am in the mood for Vietnamese (real food, not soup) I go here. You can't go wrong with their combo platters and after many years their food is very consistent and delicious.

Extremely good

The food is just delicious and honest. The waitress was very warm and helpful.
One of the must haves: Papaya shrimp salad
I had the Fish steak with the traditional sauce which was awesome. A fish I remember forever. Highly recommended.

Excellent food

My husband and I had taken friends there last year (one of them from out of town) and we decided to return last week. The food certainly did not disappoint. It is of the highest quality and the menu choices are endless. When going with a group, we recommend each person order one dish and then share, which is what... more

Always good

I eat there at least once a month and the food is always excellent! They have a great selection on the menu and the service is fast.

The best Vietnamese food in Ottawa

We have been going to this restaurant for over ten years. We moved to Toronto and when we visit Ottawa we always make an effort to go. The spring rolls, curry chicken and calamari are amazing. The owners an servers are nice and the prices are wry reasonable.

I enjoyed this place. We were with a group of friends for a birthday. Service was friendly. It is a family owned business. The food was delicious, service is friendly but not as knowledgeable when it came to mainstream business hospitality practices in North America. That being said, there is nothing North American with this place. The food is what I believe to be authentic Vietnamese food,... more

Good Basic Asian Food

The food here always tastes great. The value is good. Some of the soups and salad portions are generous even though I feel sometimes that I would like a little more won tons in my won ton soup. The chicken wings are a little on the smallish side.
The service is quick. This place is great in terms of value... more

Terrible service, extremely rude waiter. He even insulted me for not knowing the name of a Vietnamese dish. I will never go back to this place again.

Food great, service slow

We went as a group of six mid week. The restaurant was busy, but not full. They seemed to be little understaffed. We waited 20 minutes to get any attention and then another 20 for our drinks to arrive. The food was also slow and one of our dishes was missing (but quickly replaced). We ordered a variety of dishes... more

Great Vietnamese Food in the heart of Chinatown

Vietnam Palace is a family favourite and my large extended family has been going there for years now. The owners are very friendly and the staff are attentive and kind. The food is the best I have tasted in a number of Vietnamese restaurants in several Canadian cities. The weekday lunch specials are very popular. For roughly $10 you can... more

Best springrolls ever

I used to live in Ottawa and frequent this restaurant. I moved away about 12 years and don't get back there very often. But when I do... YUMMY! The springrolls are so yummy... when they bring them to the table you also get rice paper, lettuce and a dish of pickled carrot, mint leaves, bean sprouts. Wrap it all together... more

Excellent tasty fresh food with superb hosts and decor

Best bun in the City, very nice pork grilled perfectly and seasoned with fresh veggies and noodles served with a flavourful sauce. Lunch specials include a bowl of delicious soup, a little spring roll and vermicelli or rice with a salad. With that are chicken, shrimp and pork served in a variety of styles and a vegetarian offering which is... more

Try this restaurant; you won't be disappointed

My husband and I are weekly patrons at the Vietnam Palace. The lunch specials are delicious and plentiful. The large menu offers many choices, most of them excellent. The restaurant is very clean and well decorated; the owners run the restaurant and are pleasant and efficient. Even though Somerset Street has been a construction zone all summer, the restaurant is... more

Had a great evening

Went there a group of 5, all with different taste buds, but everyone left happy!! we all ordered something different, i had the coconut chicken curry (very good), and my friend had the fried beef noodles, awesome!!!

Our favourite Vietnamese restaurant too

We've been eating here for over 13 years and we are always extremely happy with our visits. They are the best spring rolls hands down, anywhere, anytime. We also love the beef pho, wrap and rolls, curry coconut chicken; everything we've tried here has been excellent.

Our favorite Vietnamese in Ottawa

My wife and I both LOVE this restaurant. The spring rolls are devine, and they serve the BEST hot and sour soup I have ever tried. The specials for 2+ people are what we usually order, as they give a nice variety of choices for a reasonable price. I highly recommend the chicken with chilies and lemongrass (the beef is... more

Food is always amazing, and the atmosphere is very clean and classy. My only small gripe is that the portions aren't bigger, but that only makes it easier to order different dishes and share; not to mention it leaves you wanting to come back for more.
