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.

How do I make a reservation?

You can book a table online at phobynight.com/reservations. Online booking is available for groups of 4 to 6 guests with at least 3 hours advance notice. For parties of 7 or more, please call us directly at 613-789-8885.

The Closest Real Pho to uOttawa Campus

If you study, live, or work in Sandy Hill, you do not have to travel far to find authentic Vietnamese pho. Pho By Night sits at 309 Dalhousie Street — a 12-minute walk from the University of Ottawa, just outside Sandy Hill in ByWard Market.

Generations of uOttawa students have warmed up here after late lectures, post-exam celebrations, and brutal Ottawa winters. The broth is the same one the family has simmered since 2000 — long before the current student body was born.

For a hot, filling, real meal that does not break a student budget, this is where Sandy Hill comes for a proper bowl of pho.

Why Sandy Hill Picks Pho By Night

12 Minutes from uOttawa Campus

Walk from Tabaret Hall, the FSS building, or Morisset Library — Pho By Night is the closest real pho to the University of Ottawa.

Real Food, Fair Student Prices

Bowls start around $18.99. Cheaper than two coffees and a panini, and it actually fills you up — for hours.

Open Late for Study Sessions

Open later than most Sandy Hill spots. A bowl of hot broth at 9pm is the unofficial study fuel of uOttawa.

Halal-Friendly for Diverse Campus

Halal-certified beef and chicken. Inclusive menu for international students and Sandy Hill's diverse community.

What uOttawa Students Order

Rare Beef Pho (Pho Tai)

The student favourite. Hot broth, rare beef, herbs, lime — comfort and protein in one bowl.

Chicken Pho (Pho Ga)

Lighter and easier on the stomach for late-night study sessions. Plus the universal cure for an Ottawa cold.

Vegan Pho

Vegetable broth with tofu puffs, mushrooms, and fresh herbs — for plant-based students in residence.

Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Pork

Cool noodles, hot grilled meat, fresh herbs. A satisfying lunch that travels well for takeout to class.
