Palais du Vietnam is now Vietnam Palace Restaurant at 819 Somerset street West Ottawa K1R6R4 — Restaurant in Ottawa

We really love that we have a restaurant of this calibre with free parking (no need to head to Somerset Street in Ottawa). The decor inside is very soothing with the faux flame lamps.

We have come here as a family and enjoyed it.

This restaurant has something on the menu that everyone would like.

It also has a substantial lunch time menu. When I find myself wanting to try something new I turn to my son. Everything that he chooses, seems to hit it out of the park.

I have also come here several times with friends for either the Lunch or Dinner Specials and never been disappointed.

After dining here, I always feel refreshed.

The Dinner Special has an option with or without wine (which is quite a good deal) and I believe there is a beer option as well.

The food is delicious comforting and so very tasty. I especially like their soups. The wine with the Dinner Special is an excellent choice to compliment the meal.

There is a patio that is not currently in use for outdoor dining and could be dressed up quite nicely with a little inventiveness, creativity and imagination.

The restaurant's Dinning Room has two (2) levels with many tables. The room divider is gone which I did quite enjoy because it was more intimate for a group gathering.

We have even run into acquaintances on occaission which is a wonderful way to catch up while waiting for our meals to arrive.

We especially enjoy the Curry dish and the Korean BBQ Pork. These are our go to meals when we want comfort food.

The inside has large windows which allow you to admire the greenery outside while allowing the sunshine in. It is quite soothing to enjoy this place on...

August 2022 update

They have a full menu including pho, vermicelli, salad and many varieties of dishes to order from.

They also offer many set menus for 2 including appetizer ( soup and spring rolls) and a main course with rice starting $42/2 people.

However, I find the food to be “ all right”.

Vermicelli was served in a dish and vermicelli’s were all broken up. It means it was either over cooked or stayed out for a while so they are all broken up. Spring rolls are small and overwhelmed with carrot taste….. Fried calamari was chewy and batter was brown and stale. Green tea ( with charge) was weak. Despite the fact asking to add a second tea bag to the individual pot; it was still bland. Perhaps they should change the tea bags used. Principal dishes beef with lemon grass and chicken with broccoli were 4/5. Although they were served on plates , they did come with quite a bit of sauce and the portion was small. ( sauce tastes very similar from each other with the exception beef had chilly added to it. ).

Overall, not a very good Vietnamese restaurant food but the ambiance was nice and place was...

They are now under new ownership.

We were there yesterday and the food isn't as good as it used to be. Their menu is nicer though and easier to read. The deep fried Banana with ice cream was supposed to come with vanilla ice cream, but it came with chocolate, it was good otherwise. We ordered two lime sodas and both were different from another, one with lime and one lemon, the pho was very bland and such a small portion for a large size, spring rolls weren't as good either as it used to be, vermicelli with shrimp on sugar came and spring rolls was decent, the Jelly fish salad with shrimp and pork was the only thing that was really good and highly recommend. Service was okay as they got busy and only had 2 servers.

My whole family, parents and I have been customers since I was in diapers over 30 years ago and the former owners always treated us like family, and their food was great. So to compare, the food has...
