What Chris likes about Pho Thu Do:
One of the better pho places in ottawa in my opinion. The price has skyrocketed however but I truly enjoy the difference in the spring rolls and the quality of the soup. Once upon a time this place was the secret gem of great food for a great price. What sets this place apart from 9tger is the beef broth, it has depth of flavor.Food: 5/5 View all feedback. What kaledoniain doesn't like about Pho Thu Do:
This place was open on a Monday when other Vietnamese restaurants on Somerset were closed. It was okay but I would rather try other places nearby than return here. Nice teapots. View all feedback.

Average pho, nothing special. Would like a bit more beef in the pho for the price. Around $30 for 2.

Very efficient in serving their delicious food. My Montreal friends loved it and they will be back for sure.

In a bustling area of Ottawa's Chinatown, Pho Tu Do stands out as a classic favorite for many. Some customers have noted changes in portion sizes and quality over time, expressing disappointment in the food compared to previous visits. However, others rave about the flavorful broth, generous meat portions, and friendly service that keep them coming back week after week. With options for both meat lovers and vegetarians, this cozy Vietnamese spot in Ottawa's Chinatown seems to have something for everyone. If you're in the area and craving a hearty bowl of pho, Pho Tu Do may just be the place to satisfy your cravings.

I had rare beef pho and beef rice wraps. My daughter had fried veggie spring rolls and veggie noodle soup. Both were delicious.
