Kanata Noodle House - Ottawa

Traveling from Massachusetts to Canada for a visit, a hungry family enjoyed the food at the restaurant very much. The dishes were authentic and came in generous portions.

I recently dined at this Vietnamese restaurant and was extremely impressed with the food. The dishes were incredibly tasty and the portions were large. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and very fresh. The service was good, although nothing exceptional. I appreciated that the tables were spaced far enough apart to ensure a comfortable dining experience without feeling crowded or bumping into other customers. Overall, great value for delicious food in a comfortable setting.

I went to the Kanata Noodle house yesterday. One of my favourite places for Pho soup. After ordering I was brought bean sprouts and after the server left I noticed a few on top were fresh and the rest appeared rotten. It took a while to flag the server and when I pointed this out and asked for fresh ones she said its because that's all we have left. I said I would like to change my order and she said I couldn't because it is already made. I have a rule that I don't make too much of a fuss when someone is making your food so I decided to accept it without adding the bean sprouts and just said ok. She said thanks for your understanding and left the rotten bean sprouts on my table. I have placed a picture of them in the photos. I have eaten here often and the service and quality of the food are going down. They haven't brought me tea on my last 2 visits and I've had to ask for it a few times before they bring it on a few recent visits. I use to see the owner or his nephew there all the time but they haven't been there when I have visited. I suspected that maybe the ownership had changed and that would explain the decline but I was advised it was the same owners. Disappointed as this use to be a good place to go for a reasonably priced meal.

Been here twice now with my young son he 's a 'Pho 'natic. While he certainly enjoys this place (it 's not up to his (Co Cham standards) I find it to be superb in every way. Big, clean, friendly service, huge and delicious portions. They even have the fried rice paper wrap chagio which I don 't notice at most places. This is the traditional northern egg roll which I ate in Hanoi and fell in love. The pho is EXCELLENT. I had the beef broth pho once and the Hu Tieu (Chicken broth) last time. Large bowl is the way to go. We always have enough for one more bowl the next morning. Happy to have found a superb Viet place closer to my hood. Bravo KNH!!!

I have visited this restaurant many times, especially the one on Carling Avenue. I always enjoy the food, but I wish they had more options for vegetarians. As a strict vegetarian, I do not appreciate having beef or chicken pho as a base for my vegetarian dishes.
