Pho Bamboo Vietnamese Restaurant

Restaurant décor is nice and server is friendly. Place needs a good washing as floor feels sticky. Fish tank is so dirty it is not appetizing to be near it.
I have never seen such small noodle portions in any phở restaurant. Medium portion is way to small for what they charge.

First visit was a huge disappointment. The dining room is nice, filled with bamboo accents, and clean. We had two phở lunch combo specials with spring rolls and salad rolls. The sprouts that came with the side dish was not fresh at all. Salad rolls were bland and void of flavor. The phở was the biggest disappointment. Noodles and meat portion were scarce (maybe they give you smaller portion because it was a special), and the soup stock had a day-​old taste to it.
I had read many favorable reviews about this place and was looking forward to trying it out myself. I can’t see myself going back.

I have been here a few times now and the overall experience has been average at best. Although it is one of the better places for the quality of food in Ottawa,
The décor is supposedly cozy. I have seen people like it. I personally find it a bit cheap and that it is trying too hard. The service although pleasant is painfully slow and sort of unattentive. The food however arrives pretty quickly.
I have tried their spring rolls and almost all of their phở. Good. The vermicelli is good too. The pricing is competitve.
There is limited parking in the back. The big turnoff wid this place is the location. There is a sketchy massage parlour on the 2^nd floor which shares the parking.
I keep coming here coz its close to where I live and phở on a cold weekend is awesome!

Had my first phở experience here while staying outside Ottawa. It was delicious and I regret just trying it for the first time just weeks ago. The décor and ambiance of the restaurant is adorable.
