    This place is pretty good. It's definitely our go-to spot for Vietnamese in Ottawa.

    Their rice paper wraps are great.

    Consistently good and reliable vietnamese with lots of more unique offerings that aren't on the menus of all of the other Pho spots within a ten minute walk.

    If you like spicy, get the 136 (beef or chicken) and enjoy the delicious satay goodness. Pair it with a coconut shake and you have the perfect combination of hot and cool - and a perfect meal for less than $15.

    Wrap and roll dishes are popular here and great fun if you're in a group or introducing a friend to vietnamese food for the first time.

    Large round tables are perfect for groups, and they are full to brimming on weekend afternoons.

    My cousin took me here for dinner with a few other family members. We ordered a few of your regular dishes, including Vietnamese deep fried spring rolls, shrimp rolls, Yeung Chow fried rice, and some pho.

    I had a great time with my family, catching up over food. It's too bad that I found the food to just be mediocre. There was nothing special about any of the dishes. They tasted good and weren't too greasy, but they weren't too flavorful, either. New Mee Fung is supposed to be pretty popular, but I've definitely had much better food elsewhere, especially on Somerset in Chinatown.

    I've found that the food here is consistently really good. The pho broth is excellent and the wrap-and-rolls are super good too. It's one of the only Vietnamese places in Ottawa that reminds me of the incredible Vietnamese food we used to eat when I was growing up there 15/20 years ago. Things don't seem quite as delicious anymore, for some reason...

    I'm not a huge fan of the decor, though.

    I used to be a loyal customer of Mee Fung as far back as when the original spot was on Somerset next to the now Bubblicity.  The food was always great and the service the same.  Recently since the change of ownership, I've found the prices have almost double and the service has gone down hill.   You don't even get a thank you after paying.  When it happened to first time, I was like okay, off day.  Upon visit after visit of getting consistency I finally had enough.  

    This lack of appreciation and the level of service is why I don't go back anymore.

    I'm Vietnamese and I completely agree with the previous two posters on this one, NMF was a lot better a few years ago, when it was smaller and not as popular.  Perhaps also before the change in ownership, although I don't know for sure that there was one.

    The menu looks daunting, but really there's only a few different choices, then it's just various meat/seafood variations of the same dish (eg.  rice with chicken, rice with beef, rice with chicken and beef, etc.).  The sauce and everything stays the same.

    They do a few dishes well (shrimp wonton soup being one), but it's not what it used to be.

    Sadly, it's still one of the better (read few) Vietnamese restaurants in town that isn't a "Pho" place.  Not really traditional Vietnamese food either.

    This is one of the oldest Vietnamese restaurants in Ottawa and I have very fond memories of going here years ago and loving the food. Unfortunately the secret got out and the rest of Ottawa also discovered it, driving the quality of food down considerably.

    There is still a huge menu with a good selection of various vermicelli's, rice paper rolls, noodle soups, bubble and jelly drinks, as well as a lot of other items at a reasonable price that you order by writing the item number down. However not all of it is good (I think the quality of food may just depend on luck and the time you visit) and the service is quite iffy (this time they lost two of our three orders and had to be reminded about the food twice).

    Well I guess I can always hope that people stop going raising the quality of food again....

    A good place for a cheap lunch. Quite a large menu, decent food and service. Some vegetarian options but many of the dressings/sauces/dips seem to have fish sauce in them. They have a large table for up to 10 people.
