Vietnamese Restaurant Ottawa
Pho By Night — Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine Since 2000
Family-owned for 26+ years. Slow-simmered pho, fresh Vietnamese dishes, halal-friendly and vegan options in the heart of Ottawa's ByWard Market.
Ottawa's Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant
Pho By Night is a family-owned Vietnamese restaurant located in the heart of Ottawa's ByWard Market at 309 Dalhousie St. Since opening in 2000, we have been serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine to the Ottawa community — from students and families to professionals and international visitors.
Vietnamese food is about balance: the warmth of slow-simmered broth, the freshness of herbs and lime, the richness of grilled meats, and the crunch of pickled vegetables. At Pho By Night, every dish reflects this philosophy. Our recipes are passed down through three generations, and our kitchen prepares everything from scratch — including our signature 12-hour pho broth.
Whether you are searching for the best pho in Ottawa, looking for halal-friendly Vietnamese food, or want to explore vegan Vietnamese dishes, Pho By Night has something for everyone. We also offer delivery and takeout across downtown Ottawa and catering for events.
