Ha Noi Pho

We ordered: Veggie spring rolls (I can tell most places seem to freeze things like these. rarely fresh) However, they were still yummy! Good filling, well seasoned. Tasted good plain without dipping sauce.
The Phở was great, very aromatic! I could smell the Cinnamon? Star Anise? Nutmeg? It was quite nice.
Beef was tennnderrrrrr mmmmmmmmmmmm
Prices also fair: Medium beef and flank, double meat, and a pop to drink, «15 $»
The flank was too fatty. Stick with regular rare beef. Tender!
Spring rolls, small double meat beef soup, and a pop, 17 $
Waiter was attentive also.
I would go back for sure!

Was just so-​so. I had a spring roll appetizer and a #68, Coconut beef, I think it was. Lots of celery, green peppers and a sauce much saltier than I would have liked. Nice waitress. Friendly, but not hovering.
And this might be silly, but I hate not getting a bill — Waitress never brought a bill. You stop at the cash on the way out, tell her what you had and she tells you the total. I like to eyeball the bill especially when with a group.
Been there, done that, will try something different next time.

This place is okay. The staff was not that friendly and they took a long time for our order to be served. The phở was not that great. They placed too much noodles and barely any broth and beef. Highly disappointed.

Never will return stir fry too spicy, even when they said that it was mild, we had the chicken with it only three little pieces of chicken the spring rolls were not eatable won ton soup no taste, we go to viet rest. a lot this place is off the list, plus the washrooms were discusting…

Love love love the rare beef phở! Great ratio of content to broth and the broth was very tasty! My dad really his chicken with crispy noodles too!

One of the better Vietnamese restaurants in the area but I would not necessarily compare it to Ottawa restaurants. The menu expands to more than Phở. I did not try the Phở as I went for #34 (bun tom nuong/​chao tom) which is the vermicelli entrée with the shrimp paste on a sugar cane stick (see pic). It was very good overall although it could have used a side of fresh basil and cilantro. Service was attentive. Seems more of a lunch place. Went around 8P and it was pretty empty but I hear it is busy during the day. Overall a very good restaurant if you need a Vietnamese fix and do not want to go all the way to Ottawa.

I tried to give 2.5 stars but my phone was being difficult I found the phở just o.k., but the salad rolls and peanut sauce were both lacking. Salad rolls had no mint leaves — which for the vegetarian salad rolls was a huge omission for me, and the peanut sauce was bland and watery.

I use to love to eat here, till a recent visit with a friend, as she was leaving to her car she realized she forgot her phone in the restaurant. When she went back in to ask if they had seen her phone on the table, the waiter said he hadn’t seen it and even suggested with a smirk that maybe she never even came in the resto with her phone. The only other couple who was sitting at the resto spoke up and said «actually, I noticed you pick up an iPhone with a pink case when you were cleaning her table off and you gave it to the other employee who was working». When the customer said that, all of a sudden the waiter and the other guy working said that another girl had just came in to pick up the phone saying that she also forgot her phone at the resto earlier that day.
She told him that was impossible seeing as she was out of the resto for no more then 5 minutes, and he replied basically saying ‘well that’s not really my problem”. So she told him okay, well I’m gonna call the cops. So she did right in front of him. This must have shook the employees because they then started pretending to look around for it, the other ones on the phone speaking in his language and keeps saying the word ‘iPhone’. He then told her that the girl who ‘picked up her phone’ is a regular, so next time she comes in, he will tell her she took the wrong phone.
Then sure enough, the next day he called her friend to explain to them how nice people from Orleans are because the ‘girl’ came in the next day after realizing the phone wasn’t hers. Also when she pick it up, the sim wasn’t in the phone anymore.

The portions are very good and staff are very friendly.

the food here is great.
remember people its not all about the phở (soup), try the rice dishes they do a great job here! the pricing here is perfect even for an intimate evening
the only food negatives i’ve encountered, the sauce they use for the calimari isn’t that great but more suited for use with chicken fingers.
Rarely but it does happen the meat can be somewhat fatty with their other items.
should you eat here? Yes! especially if you are in Orleans and want some vietnamese cooking but don’t want to travel to chinatown (somerset st.) to experience some.
this place is perfect to bring a date, you don’t really have to have the dessert here. (but try the fried banana!) theres also baskin robbins in the same complex if you are in the mood for different ice cream.

I really had hit and miss experiences with this place. I personally think that there is better vietnamese restaurants in Orleans. The flavors the broth of phở is okay.
Going back to the hit and miss, For example, i order for take out some chicken phở and i had big piece that were really chewy.
Anyhow, this a place that is just okay and for that reason deserves 2.5 stars.

This is a Vietnamese Phở place that you’d want to have a romantic evening with someone who wants to try out Phở without having to go to a hole in the wall somewhere at Chinatown.
The décor is new Asian, with a red bicycle at the door that evokes the image of a long haired vietnamese girl biking down a dirt path. Inside, the atmosphere is more suitable for you to sit down, eat and chat than the typical phở places where they’re more spartan and prefers turnover once you’re done your noodles.
I tried this place back in December, when it had just opened recently, and I had Vermicelli with Chicken. The Chicken was cut thinner, but compared to other restaurants, they didn’t give me less. The unfortunate thing is that although the chicken cooks faster because it’s thinner, you’d be missing the grill marks that you’ve grown to expect for this dish. Also, if you’re looking for classic phở, you’d expect this to be served in a big Asian bowl; the cutlery here matches the décor too. Despite the cosmetic differences, the dish’s still authentic.
Since they’re catering to more of the high end, it is a bit pricer than what I’m used to. I was also particularly hungry that day, so I ordered a snack out of the appetizer menu. The staff’s new, and the guy thought I wanted the check. When he found out I was gonna order more, he apologized profusely. The female waitress was either ditzy or overworked, since there was 4 guys on the floor, one manning the till, but only 2 was actively serving at a place that they could use 3 waiters. Perhaps they have sorted this out after the new opening.
The snack that I ordered was sliced pork wrapped in rice paper — normally my favourite treat before phở. The difference between Ha Noi Phở and others is that they have left a little surprise in it. They used green granny apple in with the sliced pork. The pork and the sauce that comes with is typically very sweet, and the naturalsourness from the green apples is the perfect complement.
It was a great time that I had there, except that their alcohol license was pending. If they have wine, it would be a great place to spend a romantic evening.
