Tucked away on Somerset Street West in the heart of Ottawa’s Chinatown, Vietnam Palace has been quietly serving some of the city’s best Vietnamese food since 1989. No flashy marketing, no celebrity endorsements β just honest food, warm hospitality, and a dining room that feels like coming home.
The Space
Step inside and you’ll find a restaurant that’s unpretentious and welcoming. The dining room is spacious enough for family celebrations, intimate enough for a quiet dinner for two, and lively enough for a night out with friends. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over a bowl of phα» without watching the clock.
The People
The staff at Vietnam Palace aren’t just serving food β they’re sharing a piece of their culture with every dish. Many of our team members have been with us for years, and their warmth and knowledge make every visit special. Ask them for recommendations and you’ll discover dishes you never knew existed.
