I've been trying to replace my original Chinese restaurant for over 2 years and was hoping they might be the one.

My husband and I had dinner here and it was excellent…read more I had the Beef and Spring rolls Vermicelli ($12.75) from the Vietnamese menu, while my husband had the Combination Plate with General Tao Chicken and Mixed Vegetables ($14.75) from the Chinese menu. The grilled beef and spring rolls vermicelli was legit! It was so tasty. The beef was flavourful and also moist and juicy, yet lean and not fatty nor gristely at all. The best of all worlds! I loved the beef and cannot rave enough about it. The spring rolls were good too. Crispy on the outside, with ground pork, vermicelli, onions and carrots inside. The wrapper was the more common wheat wrapper as opposed to the rarer rice paper wrapper, which is in my opinion more delicious, but admittedly not as popular here in Ottawa. The vermicelli was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying vegetables (cucumber, carrots, lettuce and mint) were fresh. I asked for no bean sprouts. I also asked for no fish sauce and was asked if I wanted peanut sauce instead, and I accepted. The peanut sauce was delicious. It didn't have that hoisin flavour that some peanut sauces have that I don't like. It wasn't too rich, but was full of peanut flavour. The portion size of the vermicelli bowl was good too. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My husband's dish was very Westernized Chinese Food, but it was good for what it was. I had a piece of the General Tao Chicken and it was a bit spicy, but mostly sweet. I liked it. The mixed vegetables were good, but nothing remarkable IMO. I found the chicken fried rice a bit on the salty side. My husband enjoyed his meal though. I think that Vietnamese food is their specialty and more authentic. The Chinese food is more Westernized. Given that this restaurant is in a strip mall in Kanata North, I think the Westernized food is to accomodate the desires of the local clientele. They have chopsticks as part of the place settings, but also forks and knives ;) Service was courteous and efficient. Decor is simple and it's a very casual eatery. It is wheelchair accessible. They serve wine and beer. If you're in Kanata North and craving some good Vietnamese food, you don't have to travel far, there's Phu-Yen! With all due respect, I was a bit surprised to find this gem in a nondescript strip mall in suburbia ;) Lots of free parking in the strip mall.

I was disappointed with…read morethe rolls because there was too much lettuce (although my wife liked that there wasn't any rice in them). The pho broth was tasty, but the chicken was chewy, and not much of it. The service was efficient and friendly, and the price was average. Ambiance was pleasant, but the floors need cleaning.

Friendly service and clean restaurant. Had the Bun…read moreVermicelli with BBQ Pork and spring roll. This one of my favourite dishes. I found the noodles a bit over cooked (too soft) but the pork was very flavourful and the spring roll was crunchy and piping hot. Their broth is served hot, I'm used to it being cold. But no difference to me. Maybe prefer it cold because the dish is almost like a refreshing salad but very filling.

I dropped by Crazy Pho You for a late lunch and it was great. Admittedly, I was drawn to the…read morerestaurant because of its cool punny name - yes I love puns, lol, but the food turned out to be delicious too. I got the beef and spring rolls vermicelli ($12.95) with no bean sprouts and no fish sauce. They were kind enough to offer me an alternative sauce "brown sauce" or "peanut sauce." I went with the latter and it was a little too strong in hoisin flavour for me, but I found it good in small amounts. Honestly, the beef was so well marinated and flavoured that I didn't even really need any sauce. The portion size was great. I was stuffed silly after finishing the bowl. If I wasn't such a glutton, it could have eaten half and easily saved the rest for dinner. The beef was sliced really thin, but I got a good amount. It was lean with no fatty nor gristely bits, yet it wasn't tough nor chewy, so I was a very happy camper. I loved the marinade, it was a bit sweet and very umami. Lots of flavour. The pork spring rolls were hot and crispy. They were filled with pork, vegetables and vermicelli. They were good, despite being made with the wheat wrapper and not the more traditional rice paper wrapper that we all know I love oh so much ;) The vermicelli was hot and the perfect consistency. The vegetables were shredded lettuce, carrots and cucumbers. I think the carrots were pickled. They also sprinkled on a lot of crushed peanuts and some fried scallions, so yummy, I love fried scallions. I arrived at about 2:45pm on a weekday. The guy who served me was really nice. I think he ended his shift at 3pm though, because shortly after dropping off my food, he put on his coat and headed out the door. I didn't even realize this until as he was leaving he yelled out to me "thanks, have a great day!" He surprised me, and my mouth was full but I managed to squeeze out a "thanks!" I wish he had told me he was leaving because I would have gladly settled the bill so he would get his tip. I'm hoping he got his tip regardless. After he left, I was kind of left to my own devices as despite having people who appeared to work there enter and exit, no one seemed to take on the role of server. I didn't mind this too much because once I get my food, as long as it's my correct order, I am a very low maintenance customer. Towards the end of my meal, a man who turned out to be either the owner or the owner's son appeared behind the counter, so I asked him for some more water. We chatted a bit and he told me that the restaurant has been around for 3 years. When it first opened it was "a partnership" but for the last year or so it's been "just him and his family." So it's definitely a family run business. I told him I really enjoyed my meal, and he thanked me for supporting their business. I would definitely come back. I'd like to try out their other dishes. Parking is a bit of a pain in this area, as it's street parking only, and there are a lot of restrictions, but if you don't mind walking a bit, you can find parking a little further out.

The potstickers were fantastic and you could tell were made in house. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the price for just 4. I should've stopped my order there, but I made the mistake of adding some General Chicken. It was made using dark meat which is fine, but the meat itself was very fatty and grisly. The sauce had good flavor, but I couldn't get past the texture of the chicken. I ended up only eat 3-4 pieces and throwing out the rest. I wonder if there's an option for white meat chicken instead.

So, I would only go back to In's Kitchen if I was by myself (or someone with whom I wasn't close) and wanted a simple lunch. That said, the food was good and the service was friendly.

I got some takeout for my…read morehusband and I for dinner and overall the food was really good, but I found the prices a bit high, but I guess everything is expensive these days. I got the Beef Bulgogi Dinner ($22) and the Dakgalbi Dinner ($22). The Beef Bulgogi Dinner came with beef bulgogi, salad, Kimchi, pickled radishes, rice and a canned drink (I got a grapefruit Bubly). The Dakgalbi Dinner came with rice, a salad and a canned drink (I got a strawberry Bubly). I asked for no sesame seeds in the food and this request was gladly accommodated. The Beef Bulgogi was tasty. The meat was lean and not gristley like at some places. There was a tad too much onions in this dish for my liking, but it was still very good and and huge hit with my husband. The Dakgalbi was a bit spicy, nothing crazy though, not even lip tingles, lol, just a bit of a kick. The chicken was dark meat, but not too fatty. It had cabbage, sweet potatoes and rice cakes shaped like tubes. It was delicious. I loved the soft and chewy rice cakes. The salads were mostly shredded cabbage with pickled radishes. The salad dressing, served on the side by default, was a tangy citrus dressing. I really enjoyed it and loved that it came on the side without me having to request it that way. The cabbage was crunchy and fresh. The rice was purple rice and tasted good. The kimchi was mild, crunchy and not too pungent. I liked it. The pickled radishes were good too, not too sour. Service was courteous and friendly. They make the food to order. I'm really hoping they add Japchae to the menu and they are able to make it without sesame seeds, since at most restaurants it's premade and covered in sesame seeds and I can never have it, lol. In's Kitchen is across from the University of Ottawa Henderson Residences and very close to the campus. I'm sure it's popular with the students. The inside of the restaurant nice and it's more spacious than you would expect from looking at it from the outside. There's some outdoor seating as well. Street parking only.

This was our last time visiting that place. The owner was…read moreextremely rude. The service was not organized. We were group of 9. The appetizers were serves to us within 5 minutes apart, instead at the same time. Some of us already had main menu, and the others were waiting for appetizer. Two of them had to finally cancel. One of the guest asked for beer and waited 15 minutes. When the issue was raised to the owner, who burst into shouting. He was coming back and forth to our table and yelling. At one point he come by our table holding a tiny baby in diapers! and still yelling. His excuse of anger was that the service people are young and learning. He asked us to leave the to restaurant instead of apologizing. Such an ugly evening ! He ruin my birthday.
