Pho Near Hintonburg Ottawa — Vietnam Palace Restaurant
Hintonburg is one of Ottawa’s most creative and community-driven neighbourhoods — and it deserves Vietnamese food that matches its character. Vietnam Palace Restaurant is just a short walk or bus ride from Wellington West, the Parkdale Market, and the Hintonburg Community Centre. We’ve been making authentic pho at 819 Somerset St W since 1989, and we’re proud to be part of west Ottawa’s culinary fabric.
Wellington West Meets Vietnamese Tradition
The Wellington West strip is known for its independent spirit and quality food culture. Vietnam Palace fits right in: family-owned, longstanding, and genuinely passionate about Vietnamese cuisine. When Hintonburg locals are craving something that’s both comforting and complex, our pho is the answer.
Over 35 years of cooking experience shows in every bowl. Our broth is never rushed — it simmers for the better part of a day, drawing out the depth of bone, spice, and aromatics. When you ladle it over fresh noodles and rice paper-thin beef, you’re tasting that patience.
From Parkdale Market Produce to Your Bowl
We believe fresh ingredients make the difference. Like the vendors at Parkdale Market, we prioritize freshness in everything we serve. Our herbs, vegetables, and garnishes are sourced to ensure that every pho bowl is bright, aromatic, and alive.
Beyond pho, our 100+ item menu includes:
- Freshly rolled Vietnamese spring rolls with herbs and shrimp
- Lemongrass beef and chicken stir-fries
- Vermicelli bowls (bun) with grilled pork, chicken, or shrimp
- Broken rice plates (com tam) with a sunny-side egg
- Slow-braised Vietnamese claypot dishes
Your Hintonburg Dinner Destination
After an event at the Hintonburg Community Centre or a Saturday morning at Parkdale Market, come in and sit down for a proper meal. We’re open for lunch and dinner six days a week. Groups are welcome — just book ahead and we’ll make sure there’s room.
