What User likes about Pho Bac:

Went here for a lunch with my boyfriend and his dad. It was the first time I had Vietnamese food ever. I must say I was very disappointed with this restaurant.

Pho Bac is a family-run Vietnamese restaurant that has been a favorite among locals for years. Known for their delicious spring rolls and fantastic pho, this cozy hole-in-the-wall spot offers incredible value and friendly service. While the decor may be lacking, the flavors of the food transport you to Vietnam. The menu offers traditional dishes like Bun Cha Hanoi and Bun Bo Hue, as well as unique specialties like the Hanoi Special. Customers rave about the generous portions and unbeatable taste of the dishes. For authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Ottawa, Pho Bac is a must-try.

This small, unassuming restaurant serves the best spring rolls in Ottawa, and possibly even in the world outside of Vietnam. As a big fan of spring rolls, I alw...

For once, a Bun Bo hue, (the spicy cousin of pho) that is not diluted like the others in Chinatown! And for a great price in comparison other C-town prices! The...
