(January 9, 2024, 12:00 pm)Went here for my first time the other day. As most ppl in Ottawa I’m hard to convince to go to any pho spot but my own favourite. I was pleasantly suprised when my friends brought me here. Clean and nice atmosphere inside. Fresh quality ingredients, vibrant green basil and really good broth. I would like to see more veggie option soups though. Over all great place and would recommend.

Toronto pho connoisseur in Ottawa looking for a pho fix. Decided on Saigon Boy due to the close proximity to my downtown hotel, positive reviews, and the fact that they have beef tendon. Lesser pho restaurants don't offer tendon and mostly stick to rare beef, brisket, and beef balls so I knew they were more on the "authentic" side. I arrived on a Saturday evening in the thick of dinner hour. The restaurant was full and they had a party of 4 waiting for a table - a good sign. Thankfully they had a small table available and I was able to be seated immediately.
I ordered a medium size rare beef and tendon pho. I felt the topping portions were generous and did not feel as though they skimped out at all. The rare beef was some of the best I've had - well sliced thin and very tender. The tendon was also perfect bite sized, very tender and delicious. The broth was on the lighter side from what I am used to - it could've used a touch more salt to suit my taste. I added some table black pepper to perk up my broth.
My only *very* minor and picky criticisms:
- they don't serve sawtooth coriander with the basil and beansprouts
- they don't use authentic Huy Fong sriracha sauce - it was some other sriracha that is spicier than Huy Fong which I didn't mind at all
Cash and debit only. Ample street parking. -

(January 14, 2019, 2:50 am)The Pho I ordered was the Saigon Boy bowl. I assumed it was the one that had the assorted meats and toppings. The portions here are pretty big. Upon tasting of the broth, I found that it was slightly sweeter than what I preferred and not salty enough. The aroma was there though.
All in all, this place is not bad for a Pho restaurant.
