Vietnamese Food Near Westboro Ottawa — Vietnam Palace
Westboro locals love great food — and for Vietnamese cuisine near Richmond Road, Westboro Beach, and Byron Ave, nothing beats a bowl of pho from Vietnam Palace Restaurant. We’re located at 819 Somerset St W, just a quick ride from Westboro, and we’ve been serving authentic Vietnamese food in Ottawa since 1989.
Why Westboro Chooses Vietnam Palace
Westboro has no shortage of great restaurants along Richmond Road, but Vietnamese cuisine done right — with broth that simmers for hours and ingredients that are fresh every day — is a specialty. Vietnam Palace has mastered it over 35+ years as a family-run operation.
Our 671 Google reviews averaging 4.3 stars reflect what Westboro diners already know: this is the Vietnamese restaurant worth driving across the city for. Whether you’re coming from Byron Ave or heading east from Westboro Beach, we’re a scenic detour with a delicious payoff.
Authentic Vietnamese Food Worth the Drive
Our menu spans over 100 dishes, but pho is always the star. Our beef broth is prepared fresh daily with whole spices, charred aromatics, and slow-cooked bones. The result is a clear, golden broth with layers of flavour that instant noodles can’t touch.
Westboro visitors often start with our crispy spring rolls before moving to the pho, or try our vermicelli bowls with grilled lemongrass pork or shrimp. Whatever you order, you’re getting the real thing.
