Closed on Tuesdays.

A busy little Vietnamese restaurant in the south end of Kanata located within one of the many strip malls along Hazeldean Rd. Their menu contains a variety of dishes which include pho, rice dishes, and vermicelli. The decor was simple, and the tables and chairs unassumingly basic. The atmosphere was bustling as patrons were standing by the door waiting for tables to open up.

The Pho soups come in S,M,L, but the specialty soups only come in M.

Hours are from 11am to 10pm daily. There is some parking within the strip mall.

This restaurant is closed. Pho'licious is now in that location.

Pho Sai Gon.... is gone. A new Pho restaurant with new owners and staff is in its place. The decor has been updated, and the door no longer scrapes along the floor as you enter the restaurant. Even a table was placed in the cramped patio area (I don't want to ask if it's legal to put a table there). The menu looks surprisingly similar to the old restaurant's, although I can't be sure, a lot of the pho restaurants in town do serve the same soups.

A Vietnamese restaurant away from our beaten path (Somerset) offers a variety of rice, vermicelli, and szechuan dishes. A small array of Pho beef soups is also available. A more formal dining atmosphere than other Pho restaurants, and the attentive service was provided with a smile.

Single-sized Pho bowls priced at $6.75. Tea was charged extra.

This is another of the Pho-Bo-Ga chain of restaurants. This one shares the same menu as the others, but doesn't offer the "Special's" menu board. The soup-only menu is a basic array of beef soups as well as various sate offerings. It shares a parking lot behind the restaurant with Pho Bo Ga, where you can find crammed parking there if you come early enough. The cash-only payment method is limiting, so be sure to bring in the greenbacks or you'll be washing dishes in the back.
