Pho Bo Ga La - Ottawa

Cozy, friendly place; great variety of tasty soups, rice and noodle dishes, including pad Thai. Better than average pile of cilantro, basil, and sprouts for your phó, but no chilies or fish sauce. Worth coming back to.

Enjoyed the meal at this classic Vietnamese joint. We started with Thai style spring rolls and pork spring rolls. Both were enjoyable. Pork spring roll had a lovely seasoning. I ordered the vermicelli bowl with bbq pork, shrimp, chicken, which was served with fish sauce and sitting on veggies (lettuce, carrots, cucumbers). My husband and sister both order chicken pho. One great feature is the ability to order the pho in a variety of sizes, to suit your appetite. Will return. Not sure if all the pho bo ga la's are related, or why there are so many with the same name in the Neighbourhood...

Classic viet joint. This place is great and almost always packed whenever we go here. Probably the best viet food. The prices are what they are so make sure to order what u like

Best Tum Kha Soup (S11) I usually only get it with shrimp only with rice noodle. It tasts Amazing!! The only thing is, they never give water! The soup can be a bit spicy so the water is a must. The amount is fairly generous. Also sometimes, the only down side is the broth has pieces of fat. It makes the experience unpleasant. But overall, its tasty

I ordered a large custom Beef Pho with well done beef, beef tendon, and beef tripe. The portion as usual was huge and packed with a VERY generous portion of meat. The broth was rich and not overly salty. The noodles were perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I have been to Hanoi, Vietnam and had authentic Pho, and I can confidently say that this is some of the best Pho you can get in Ottawa. And at $10.99 for a large Pho, it's a bargain.
