  Portion pretty large. A medium size filled me up good. ( for reference I'm a 24 decent build male)
  The pho was very nice, and the soup is excellent!

  The portion is large, but I wish they could add more meats.  We ordered the special bowl, the broth is decent.  We're in Canada, so we don't expect too much, just enjoy it during the cold weather.

  I'm not from Ottawa, so I'm not too sure as to what places are really worth eating at. Although it had such a silly name, iPho looked like it had decent reviews, so my family and I decided to go there for dinner. Walking in, I thought it was a bit of a run down place - their phone was dinging quite loudly, there was no background music, one upper seating area was well-lit while the lower seating area was quite dim, and there were two televisions playing the CBC with no sound, one TV looking a bit staticky. I definitely think their business can freshen the place up a bit. However, the food made up for the lack in atmosphere. I had the Shrimp Rice Paper Wrap and Pork Spring Rolls - a definite must! Then I had a small bowl of BBQ pork and udon noodles in chicken broth. I was genuinely blown away. It was delicious AND filling, and moderately priced, too! I'd absolutely recommend this place.

  Did a quick take out order from this place.  I originally wanted just 2 shrimp salad rolls or shrimp rice paper wraps as they call it here. I should have known that something was wrong when I went to pick it up and was charged $13. I thought it was normal because this place was in the Byward Market and things are sometimes priced higher. Obviously when I got back and looked more carefully, I got two orders instead of the one that I ordered. Not the biggest issue because they were eaten and shared with others.  The big issue is the person taking the order didn't speak or understand English well.  
  
  Anyways, I've had better shrimp rolls from the places in Chinatown.

  This restaurant is not welcoming kids or they don't have good manners. We eat our all the time with kids, but this is the very first restaurant that I felt very uncomfortable because of the server/owner's attitude toward our infant.
  Pho was just alright. Grilled chicken +beef wasn't so good. Not sure why they charge so much on not-so-good food. It's really hard to find Vietnamese restaurants that have bad grilled chicken and beef.
