My buddy and I went here for dinner last Saturday and the food was delicious!! I had the Chicken Vermicelli with spring rolls and he had the Beef Pad Thai. The food was really good, staff was very kind, and the prices were good too in my opinion. We will definitely be coming back soon. If you're on the fence about trying Chez Lam I strongly recommend that you do.

I went to try the pho but instead tried the grilled broccoli and shared it with my dining companion. The staff was very friendly and brought us two plates so we could share. We also got some rolls and they were quite good. I found the sauce on the chicken was quite lovely, I would happily eat there again if I was in the area! The prices were a little high, but it was a large enough portion for two people to split the meal.

Had a great dinner at Chez Lam! We live in the East end of Ottawa so have not tried many restaurants in the West end. We were in the area for a concert and decided we wanted to try somewhere new for pho. We were not dissapointed. The service was super fast and very kind. We went early to give ourselves time, our orders were taken right away and the food came out very quickly. There were 2 staff working the dining area at the time and they were both very friendly and kind. The pho broth was delicious. Fresh ingredients and the chicken and beef were both tender and well cooked. The appetizers we had were also delicious. I had the medium pho and my husband had the large. I couldn't finish the medium. And he barely finished the large. The portions of everything were very good. The prices were also fair and on par with other similar restaurants. Would definitely recommend this place and we will visit again if we are in the area.

I randomly went into this Vietnamese restaurant just to have a snack and I am glad I did. The spicy beef soup I had was excellent and the broth was very flavourful. Service was fast and friendly. I saw lots of people coming in after I came and this confirmed to me that others like the food here as well. If you like good soup and my reviews, photos or videos then why not pho the like button

This was a really really good pho. The broth, the meat, everything was done perfectly. 10/10, why are you so far from my home?

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! This place is a must go! I come here as often as my bank account allows and would come more if I could. Not only is the food absolutely amazing the staff is above and beyond kind and welcoming. Food got five stars it comes out hot every time it comes out quickly every time and it is fantastic every time. The service five stars also, for the reasons I stated above and then some! The atmosphere got five stars as well because it is so relaxing. There is frequent traffic in and out the door but the place itself is usually not overly busy(I don’t know why they aren’t packed). There is calming music played at a low level for ultimate comfort. It’s warm and inviting and great for any one of any age. I can not recommend this amazing Vietnamese Pho restaurant enough!!! This is the best restaurant is Kanata!!!
