Spacious and delicious Vietnamese restaurant for grilled meats and soups. Ordered the grilled pork and spring roll vermicelli, spring rolls appetizer and chicken and pork broken rice. Both of the entrees were nicely prepared and had huge portions. The vermicelli also came with two spring rolls! The appetizer spring roll comes with 3 pieces. Friendly staff and would visit again to try their soup noodles and specials. read more

So good! I ordered the bbq pork & spring roll vermicelli and it was the best I've had in Ottawa so far. Will definitely go back and try some other dishes. read more

I came here on my birthday for lunch. I'm glad that I did. Jennifer, like a foodie psychologist, asked me months ago (we are both planners, so this detail is not unusual to either of us), asked me what I was craving. I had noodles on my mind. One of her recommendations was The Noodle House. Sold! I parked on Gladstone Avenue, steps away from this eatery, in front of a used car lot. I walked over, did the touristy thing by taking a photo, found my prompt friend waving at me from within, and walked in. As luck would have it, we got a corner table that was cozy while we got our conversation on. I love pho. I actually have a bumpersticker with that slogan. I just haven't had a chance to slap it on my car. I ordered my usual favourite at any Vietnamese establishment, which is the rare beef and beef ball pho. I went with a large. It's funny how I used to think that I couldn't polish off a large. With experience and practice comes an accomplished eater! A plate with mint, bean sprouts, a chili pepper, and a small lime wedge arrived. Moments later, my pho came over. I was so excited that I couldn't stand it! The soup spoon at this restaurant is huge. Don't try jamming it completely in your mouth. It's not going to fit, even if you think you have the largest mouth in the universe. This spoon will prove you wrong. My pho was delicious. The noodles were perfect. I loved how tender the beef was. The beef balls were cut in half and were a good size. Oh, that broth... heavenly! I loved it all. This place is super clean, including the washroom. Staff here are extremely friendly. The man taking care of my bill asked where I was from and wondered if I had brought the warm, humid weather eastbound. It was a great day meeting up with a cool person and having yummy pho. If you're in town and want decent pho, come here. (272) read more

Ordered the rare beef and flank pho, Shanghai pork dumplings, and shrimp spring rolls. Was extremely impressed with the service, portion size, and cleanliness of the restaurant/bathrooms. Food was priced reasonably too and tasted phenomenal, I'll be back! read more

I went here for lunch with my parents today (as part of their tour of every pho restaurant in Ottawa, lol). The food was fantastic, prices are reasonable, service was great, and the place is bright, new and clean! We loved it and will be back. My dad had the Special Pho (Pho Dac Biet). He got the regular size ($10, small is $8.50). My mom was going to get the same thing, but decided to try their Grilled Beef and Spring Roll Vermicelli instead ($13). I got what I always get at Vietnamese restaurants if it's on the menu, Hu Tieu Nam Vang (Phnom Penh Tapioca Noodle Soup). I also got a large for $10. The server brought out my dad's pho first and I could smell it as he was bringing it from the kitchen. It smelled so delicious. My dad loved it. He said it was one of the best pho broths he's had in Ottawa. It had lots of different types of beef, and I even spotted a quail egg. The accompanying garnishes (beansprouts, basil, lime, and chili peppers) were fresh and plentiful. I had a taste of my mom's dish and the grilled beef was excellent. It was so tender, and the marinade was so flavourful. They were generous with the amount of beef too. The vermicelli was nicely cooked (not too dry, nor too mushy). The spring roll was hot and crispy and filled with ground pork, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage and onions. Overall, very tasty. I would consider getting this dish for myself in the future. The only thing that would make this dish better is if the spring rolls were made of rice paper (banh trang) instead of the usual wheat based wrapping. I love the way spring rolls made of rice paper get all blistery when fried. So delicious! My Hu Tieu Nam Vang did not disappoint either. I've had this dish a lot, and this one at The Noodle House was one of the best (not just in Ottawa, but also in Toronto, my hometown. Believe me, this is high praise, lol). I got 3 large shrimp (they were peeled and properly de-veined), 3 pieces of surimi crab, 3 slices of fried fish cake, some ground pork, and several slices of pork. The tapioca noodles were nice and chewy. The broth was really fragrant and tasty (not too salty nor not too oily). My only complaint is that the pork slices were too fatty for my tastes. I prefer lean meats, but I know that many people like fatty pork, especially in noodle soups. Our server was very courteous, attentive, and efficient. When I asked for a glass of water, it was filled to the brim and had so much ice. I was delighted. How did he know that I love ice? Anyway, he refilled it when it was getting low. They also give you a pot of complimentary tea. The tea had this delicious roasted quality to it and it was really strong. I love strong teas, so I was very happy. Like most pho restaurants, they have a caddy at each table with chopsticks and spoons, and condiments. The place is really clean (including the washrooms). The restaurant is on Gladstone, in between Bell and Lebreton. We were lucky to have found a parking spot on Gladstone just slightly west of the restaurant, but there's just street parking and I can see how parking could be difficult to find around there (Bell Street was completely full of cars). Anyway, this place is awesome. I loved it and so did my parents. Apparently they have specials that change occasionally (weekly? daily? I'm not sure). Today it was Bo Bia (a special type of summer roll with Chinese sausage, jicama, and eggs) and Bun Mam (a fermented fish soup that in my opinion is only for the brave. Personally, the smell makes me run away screaming, haha). I was really impressed to see these less commonly known Vietnamese dishes being served. The owners are really into social media and I saw on their Facebook page that past specials included Bun Bo Hue, Banh Xeo, Hainanese Chicken, and Malaysian Laksa. My mom wants to try their Bun Bo Hue, and I want to try their Laksa, so we will be back for sure. If they offered Che Ba Mau (tri-coloured Vietnamese dessert) my mom would be over the moon. She loves that stuff. Fingers crossed it will be on the menu in the future :) read more

Huge thanks to Jennifer P. in Ottawa for recommending this outstanding place. We ordered the Vietnamese cold chicken slaw with nam plah dressing, crowned with toasted peanut and crispy brown onion. It was THE BEST MEAL WE HAVE HAD IN OTTAWA! The crunchy vegetables (cabbage/slaw), boiled/steamed chicken shreds, coated with perfect nam plah and Vietnamese coriander was a low carb, healthy treat. Highly recommend this restaurant in our Nation's capital, Ottawa! read more

A little non-descript ambiance, but the food more than makes up for this. Never disappointed with the food choices and flavours. Great service too and bottomless green tea. Will definitely be back and back! read more

How is the food? the food here was pretty good, we came to Ottawa just for the weekend, coming from Toronto. Compared to the good Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto this one is actually not too bad. I would not mind to come back here to eat again. How is the service? service is okay, nothing wrong. Anything I need to know? you may find parking slightly challenging to find depending on when you come by the restaurant. we were lucky enough to get a parking directly in-front of the shop. (owner said to also check bell street for parking) Would I recommend? Yes read more

The Noodle House - Chicken vermicelli. - Vietnamese Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

This restaurant has been open for 3 months; I decided to try it after seeing the beautiful presentation pictures on Facebook! There is free street parking outside and on the smaller streets, and also free WiFi (ask for the password)! The restaurant owner is Chinese and really sweet. He told me about the Wifi and answered my questions about the restaurant politely. When I asked for an extra fish sauce for vermicelli, he cheerfully agreed. He also checked up on us while eating, and thanked me, and told me to get some candy while paying! What I tried: - Chicken pad thai: a good portion size, and nicely salty, a bit sour, and a bit sweet. There were pieces of fried tofu which was yummy, and I chose to add chicken. However, pretty plain; I definitely prefer the vermicelli more! - Shrimp vermicelli: Always ask for an extra fish sauce, as it makes a huge difference in taste! The pork springrolls were perfectly crispy and hearty as there was a lot of meat in the filling! There were 5 pieces of shrimp that were butterflied and grilled, and they were delicious! In hindsight, ordering meat would of probably resulted in a larger portion of meat. There were pieces of mint mixed with the lettuce which lent a really fresh flavour! In addition, the onion was pickled, which added a good touch of sour. I really enjoyed this and would order it again! The interiors are really new and clean, and the washroom as a result, is extra clean. I would come back to try their specialty soups (which I hope they have more often)! read more

I love this place and eat here often. My favourites are the chicken and beef soup, and any of the rice paper rolls. Loni (the hostess) is a doll and a delight to chat with, always answering any of my questions while I try out new food. My new favourite drink ever, is iced Vietnamese styled coffee! I'm not even a big coffee fan to begin with and it's amazing! The location is a little off putting at first, but I assure you, the facade of the front of the building is clean and neat, just as the inside. I can truly say I feel right at home here, I feel so very lucky to work down the street, this has quickly become my favourite lunch spot! read more

This is by far the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area!! Always fresh and savoury. The service is always friendly and fast. It is truly comfort food for our family. read more

Not your sariracha-laden, pho-by-the-number joints; this is comfort Vietnamese food prepared with sophistication and visual flair, from the original mother (chef) - daughter (host) team that previously ran the Saigon Boy, known for their use of fresh ingredients, balance in seasoning and careful plating - all present here. The fried spring rolls are crispy, firm and tasty. The weekly specials are worth the trip alone each cycle to try something you may not find anywhere else in the city (from Malaysian-style curry laksa to Vietnamese rice noodle banh cuon.) Don't be deterred by its location next to an auto-body shop in a less-than-vibrant part of Gladstone Ave. This place is a cut above the rest. read more

Hidden gem around the corner from our Air BnB on Bronson. Pad Thai was great and the beef/chicken noodle soup was amazing.

Came with some friends to this new Vietnamese place. Overall the place is bright and clean. Tried the wonton noodle soup and it is one of the more authentic ones in town. Fujian rice/egg noodles with shrimp is a more unique dish here. Will try the rice dish next time. read more

Great place! Service is fast and pays attention to details. Parking on the street is not bad given that its a not much transited area. Meat cooked very well and the crispy spring rolls are delicious. Noodle soup is equally good. read more

This place is great. Tasty dishes elegantly displayed, family owned and clean. So happy they opened up in the neighbourhood! Eat here now!

This has quickly become my new favourite go to place. The restaurant is clean and the food is well presented.
