Vietnamese Food Delivery to Kanata Ottawa — Vietnam Palace

Craving authentic pho on a cold Kanata evening? Whether you’re winding down after a day near Tanger Outlets, heading home along Terry Fox Drive, or finishing up in the Kanata Centrum area, Vietnam Palace Restaurant is your go-to destination for real Vietnamese cuisine in Ottawa. We’re at 819 Somerset St W, Ottawa, ON K1R 6R4 in Ottawa’s historic Chinatown — a drive that’s absolutely worth it.

Why Kanata Residents Drive to Vietnam Palace

Kanata is one of Ottawa’s fastest-growing communities, but truly authentic Vietnamese food can be hard to find out west. That’s why so many families from Terry Fox Drive and the Kanata Centrum area make the trip into Chinatown to visit Vietnam Palace. Since 1989 — over 35 years — we’ve been serving Ottawa with the same family recipes, rich broths, and commitment to authenticity that made us a local institution.

Our menu features over 100 dishes, from steaming bowls of phở bò (beef noodle soup) to crispy chả giò (spring rolls), fragrant bún bò Huế, and flavourful cơm tấm (broken rice plates). Every dish is prepared fresh daily, and our pho broth is simmered for hours with star anise, cinnamon, and charred ginger — the way it’s done in Vietnam.

Planning Your Visit from Kanata

From Kanata Centrum or Tanger Outlets, Vietnam Palace is roughly a 25–30 minute drive along Highway 417 East. We recommend coming during weekday lunch hours to avoid wait times, or booking a table in advance for weekend dinners. With 671 Google reviews and a 4.3-star rating, we’re one of Ottawa’s most trusted Vietnamese restaurants — and Kanata residents are a big part of that community.

Travelling along Terry Fox Drive toward the city? You’re practically on the highway already. Many of our regular Kanata customers have made this a weekly ritual — especially families who want a reliable, delicious meal every time.
