Best Pho in Orléans Ottawa — Vietnam Palace Restaurant

Looking for the best pho near Orléans? Residents from Place d’Orléans, along Innes Road, and out toward Trim Road have been making the journey to Vietnam Palace Restaurant in Ottawa Chinatown for decades. If you want authentic Vietnamese food — not a watered-down approximation — there’s only one address: 819 Somerset St W, Ottawa, ON K1R 6R4.

Orléans Locals Know the Secret

Orléans is a bilingual, multicultural community that appreciates real, honest food. And that’s exactly what Vietnam Palace has delivered since 1989. Our family-run restaurant has served three generations of Ottawa families, and our Orléans regulars are some of our most dedicated guests. They know that the commute along Highway 174 West is a small price to pay for pho that actually tastes like it came from a Hanoi street kitchen.

With over 671 Google reviews and a 4.3-star rating, we’re consistently ranked among the best Vietnamese restaurants in Ottawa. Our broth is simmered for 12+ hours, our herbs are always fresh, and our menu of 100+ dishes ensures there’s something for every palate.

The Vietnam Palace Orléans Experience

Many Orléans visitors turn their meal at Vietnam Palace into an event. After stopping at Place d’Orléans for errands, they head down the 174 for dinner before the drive home on Innes or Trim. Others come specifically for our weekend family spreads — ordering sharing plates like gỏi cuốn, chả giò, and bánh xèo (Vietnamese sizzling crêpes) along with individual pho bowls.

Our dining room is warm, welcoming, and unhurried. We don’t rush you through your meal. Sit, eat, and let the experience settle — that’s how Vietnamese dining should feel.
