What makes Pho By Night different from other pho restaurants?

We have been family-owned and operated in ByWard Market since 2000. Our broth is slow-simmered for over 12 hours using the same traditional recipe we started with, and we source halal-certified beef and chicken. Many of our customers have been coming back for two decades.

Is the pho at Pho By Night halal?

Yes. Our beef and chicken are sourced from halal-certified suppliers. We have proudly served Ottawa's Muslim community since we first opened, and our halal-friendly dishes are among our most popular items.

Do you have vegan or vegetarian options?

We do. Our vegan menu includes plant-based pho with mushroom broth, tofu vermicelli bowls, vegetable spring rolls, and vegan banh mi. Vegan dishes are prepared separately to avoid cross-contamination.

What are your hours of operation?

We are open Sunday through Thursday from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. We are one of the few spots in ByWard Market open for late-night dining on weekends.

Can I order for delivery or pickup?

Yes. You can place an order through our online system at order.phobynight.com for both delivery and pickup. Our delivery covers Ottawa and surrounding areas.

Do you offer catering for events?

We do. Our catering packages include pho stations, banh mi platters, spring roll trays, and vermicelli bowls — perfect for corporate events, weddings, and private gatherings. Call us at 613-789-8885 or visit our catering page for details.
