Saigon Boy Noodle House - Ottawa, Ontario

We walked in and were immediately greeted with kindness. My friends and I are a very indecisive group of individuals, but they were very patient with us and helped us get our order organized. The food came quickly and everything was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend to anyone trying out pho ... for the first time. Read more

Food is so so.. pho broth is artificial sweet and the beef brisket does not taste so fresh. Food come out quick and big portion.

Mom and pop shop serving some of the best Vietnamese fare in the city. Have been a customer here for over three years, nothing but great things to say about the menu items and overall value for money!

Our first time there and we absolutely loved it. We had the veggie spring rolls, pork spring rolls, avocado shake, chicken & beef rice noodle soup, and pork & shrimp rice noodle soup. Very reasonably priced, good portion size, delicious food, clean and tidy restaurant, very polite, attentive, and friendly ... staff, and we didn’t wait long for our food. We’re definitely going back as soon as we can. Thank you for the great experience!! Read more

**** Solid 4.5 Stars **** Toronto pho connoisseur in Ottawa looking for a pho fix. Decided on Saigon Boy due to the close proximity to my downtown hotel, positive reviews, and the fact that they have beef tendon. Lesser pho restaurants don't offer tendon and mostly stick to rare beef, brisket, ... and beef balls so I knew they were more on the "authentic" side. I arrived on a Saturday evening in the thick of dinner hour. The restaurant was full and they had a party of 4 waiting for a table - a good sign. Thankfully they had a small table available and I was able to be seated immediately. I ordered a medium size rare beef and tendon pho. I felt the topping portions were generous and did not feel as though they skimped out at all. The rare beef was some of the best I've had - well sliced thin and very tender. The tendon was also perfect bite sized, very tender and delicious. The broth was on the lighter side from what I am used to - it could've used a touch more salt to suit my taste. I added some table black pepper to perk up my broth. My only *very* minor and picky criticisms: - they don't serve sawtooth coriander with the basil and beansprouts - they don't use authentic Huy Fong sriracha sauce - it was some other sriracha that is spicier than Huy Fong which I didn't mind at all Cash and debit only. Ample street parking. Read more
