Pho Binh Minh

Our new go-to Vietnamese restaurant! Hidden gem. Not knowing where to go on a Monday for lunch when most is closed we decided to try here. It’s nice to try someplace new. The restaurant had tons of tables and is very clean. The menu pages of items that you write down the menu item number when ordering. We landed on mango salad with chicken skewers, coconut shrimp, spring rolls and grilled pork chop, fried egg n rice. The mango salad was so fresh and the coconut shrimp was the best I have ever had (not too sweet which is my common experience), and the spring rolls where hot and crispy. Excellent. Fair prices and good service.

Delicious food and great dining/date experience. Lunch specials on weekdays are good value, but it's the rest of the menu that really shines. The grilled pork with vermicelli is really flavourful and topped nicely with green onion and peanuts. The spring rolls are large, crispy, and just extremely good with the fish vinegar or peanut sauce to dip. The yellow curry glass noodles have a very mild curry taste, but are also really good (green would be spicier). Cashew chicken has a nice sauce and lots of crunchy veggies. The large size portions are very generous and fairly priced, which is good because the food is tasty and you'll want to eat more of it. The place is understaffed according to their sign at the cash, but I didn't notice as the servers did a great job and were all very friendly. I'll definitely be back to try the other items.

When I’m in the Hamilton area and feel like Vietnamese food, this is the restaurant of choice. The pho, the bun, the salad rolls, the spring rolls are all delicious. The restaurant is clean and the service is generally acceptable. My only gripe is that since I’ve been going to this restaurant, they haven’t served beef tendon and can’t be bothered to take it off the menu. Seems simple enough - either source it or remove it from the menu instead of getting my hopes up. Either than that I would definitely recommend.
