My daughter and I were looking for a place to have lunch. We came across this restaurant in a small plaza. To our surprise the food was fresh and the place was really clean :) The service was great too!

This is our favourite Vietnamese restaurant. The food is always fresh and delicious and service is very good. I’ve been going there since I moved to Hamilton in 2011.

I am a somewhat regular - every month or so for past few years. I am always happy with the fresh food and good service. I really enjoy their take out soups.

We were at Pho Binh Minh recently and were very disappointed at how slow the service was. Typically Vietnamese places are very quick - and that's the main reason we went there. We had a plane to catch and told the waitress - I am...sure she understood. But, my only guess was that we weren't 'Regulars' so we were actually served after people who were seated after us despite ordering before them too. Then when we went to pay, they had a sign posted that all items were $1 more due to covid - it would not have made a difference to us but it should have been posted on the door or in the menu before we ordered. My vermicilli bowl was however the standard I would expect.More

Ordered from lunch menu last friday, which had ample choice, which Included choice of main, egg roll . Little bit of confusion with orders this time, even at other tables, but that didnt stop the meals people were enjoying. Of course we fill out the...form, so could always be our error. They are constantly busy with pick up orders. Not sure if they do deliver I never search the whole menu, so not aware if desirable for vegans, but likely have alot of choices that would suit diet.More

Went out for lunch with 6 adults and 2 kids. Service was great. Ordered pho, wonton soup with noodles, fried rice noodles, shrimp fried rice, and an appetizer plate. All highly recommended. Highly recommend. For comparison, we've been to many Pho restaurants in Toronto and...Mississauga. This one ranks right up there with our favourites!More

Decided to come back to this restaurant after i found out i can eat food with fish in it.. So after many years away, we went back. I wasn't disappointed. The chicken bowl with vermechelli noodles has a drop of fish oil or sauce in...it, but this was okayNo reaction. I really enjoyed this dish tonight. My husband had vegetable spring roll and chicken vegetables and rice. He said his dinner was excellent as well.this is the second time i tried this dish and i wasn't disappointed! They get busy after 6 o'clock, so go early.More

We have yet again had a great meal at this, our favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Hamilton! We sat beside some first timers who we heard raving about how great and plentiful the food was! I had beef and vegetables on a sizzling platter and my...wife this time had her new favourite Orange Chicken. The fresh orange slices that accompanied her food were very fresh and delicious! My beef was perfect! We both had vermicelli noodle sides as well, perfect with the meal! Leftovers came home. The complimentary tea was hot and plentiful! You simply cannot go wrong here no matter what you get! Happy to recommend this great spot!More

Norm & I arrived at approx. 12:05 p.m. & parked in the No Frills lot right next to it and then took a short walk to this Vietnamese restaurant. The place is nice & clean. It appears that it would hold 40 - 50 Customers....We were asked to select a table anywhere we wanted & chose one near the windows. The venue probably had 12 - 15 customers already seated & enjoy ing food & drinks. We both selected the Shaken Beef with fried rice & vegetables & we both ordered a cola. I also ordered two different types of deep fried spring rolls as a take-out for my wife. Our meals arrived in 5 - 7 minutes. After applying some of their hot sauces to our rice, which are found on each table, we began our lunches. The hot sauces enhanced the rice. The beef was tender & our vegetables were still crunchy. Everything was delicious. During our meal, a lady came by & asked how our meals were.....a classy touch & unusual in an Asian restaurant. During our meal quite a few people came in to eat & also to pick up their take-out orders. By the time that we were ready to leave, it was quite busy inside. We both agreed that we will return.More

In town for business so I stopped in for a quick lunch. Restaurant nice and clean, lots of seating, waiters very friendly and quick service. Ordered shrimp fresh rolls with peanut sauce and a small bowl of chicken pho. Food service was quick and the...chicken pho was delicious....I have never had a chicken pho with so much chicken....total bill came to $13.55 without tip, which is very reasonable....I will return for sure!More

We've tried a number of Vietnamese restaurants in the Hamilton area and to date, this one wins the award for the best bowl of pho. First, the broth has the beef taste. Some places had sour, too oily or bland broth. Second, rice noodles are...just right, not overcooked, too thick or thin. The service was quick and efficient. This restaurant seemed busy, and it felt a bit crowded with tables arranged close to each other.More
