Best Spring Rolls & Salad Rolls in Ottawa

Ottawa’s Favorite Vietnamese Rolls — Handmade Since 1989
Whether you call them spring rolls, salad rolls, or by their Vietnamese names — chả giò and gỏi cuốn — Vietnam Palace has been rolling them fresh by hand for over 35 years. They’re one of the most-ordered items on our menu, and for good reason.
Fresh Salad Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn)
Our salad rolls are the perfect starter. Soft rice paper wrapped around fresh shrimp, sliced pork, rice vermicelli, lettuce, mint, and cilantro. Served with our house-made peanut hoisin dipping sauce.
Each roll is made to order — not pre-made and sitting in a fridge. That’s why the rice paper is perfectly soft, the herbs are vibrant, and the shrimp is sweet and tender. This is what authentic Vietnamese salad rolls should taste like.
Salad Roll Variations
- Classic Gỏi Cuốn — Shrimp and pork with herbs
- Vegetarian Rolls — Tofu, vegetables, and fresh herbs
- Grilled Meat Rolls — With chargrilled pork or chicken
Crispy Spring Rolls (Chả Giò)
Our crispy spring rolls are legendary. A crispy, golden shell filled with seasoned ground pork, taro, glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, and vegetables — deep-fried to perfection. Served with fresh lettuce, herbs, and our tangy nước chấm fish sauce.
The secret to our spring rolls is the filling-to-wrapper ratio. Too much wrapper and it’s all crunch, no flavor. Too much filling and it falls apart. After 35 years, we’ve got it dialed in perfectly.
How to Eat Vietnamese Spring Rolls
If you’re new to Vietnamese spring rolls, here’s the authentic way to enjoy them:
- Take a piece of fresh lettuce
- Place a spring roll on the lettuce leaf
- Add fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, perilla)
- Wrap it up like a small bundle
- Dip in nước chấm (fish sauce with lime, garlic, and chili)
- Enjoy the perfect bite — crispy, fresh, tangy, and savory
