Pho la Express - Ottawa

I ordered the Mini Fish Patties and Tomato Soup Bun Cha Ca expecting a light dish with tomato soup. To my surprise, it was more savory than I anticipated, with chili in the soup and the "mini fish patties" actually being fried fish fillet.

This place is very cute! It has a very nice environment and the staff are very friendly. I came by with a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food comes a a good portion as all Vietnamese restaurants! I would definitely come by again :

Just like Chinatown. Wont be needing to go all the way to Chinatown for a nice hot bowl of noodles. The fact that you can make your own choice is awesome. Very happy with my order, spring rolls didn 't have a huge amount to of carrots but the meat was a tad bit soft inside. Rice wraps were well made, I personally like mine with more vegetables inside, the pieces of shrimp we decent size. The sauce that came with the rice wrap I didn 't like, faint flavour of hoisin or something. My bowl of noodles soup had a good amount of noodles, meats, could use a bit more 'floating greens ' but that 's my personal preference. The beef I had in my bowl had a fresh texture to it, as opposed to a defrost meat texture like some places. Will most definitely go again and hopefully have the same quality.

Delicious pho in the heart of Vanier. Broth was super yummy and all the fixings were great! The deep fried wontons with spicy mayo were also quite yummy. The decor was nice and modern, very clean. Will definitely be returning. Good stuff!

Amazing food, amazing service. I'll definitely be going back...often!
