Friends And Pho - Village of Hamilton

If anyone gives this place 2 or more stars, has never eaten a bowl of pho or have lived under a rock all their lives! We ordered pho and bun bo hue and the only difference was a little red coloring in the bun bo hue’s bowl. The bowls came out with nothing but noodles, broth, 3 half cut beef meatballs, and two pieces of mystery meat! No ciltrano, no green onions, no basil, no bean sprouts, NOTHING! A wasted of time and money!

This place was underwhelming. I ordered the pho (beef noodle soup), and it came with just noodles, a few slices of beef and maybe 2 meatballs, broth and a slice of lime. It doesn’t come with basil leaves or bean sprouts! How do you call that authentic?! The noodles tasted like it came from a packet and was a bit hard. Broth was meh.Also got the Vietnamese coffee, and it came in a plastic takeout container with a lid and straw. What kind of ghetto presentation is that? Put it in a cup, especially since I’m dining in. SMH. Too much condensed milk — made me want to go #3.Do not recommend this place whatsoever.

The pho is inauthentic. The noodles have the texture of prepackaged noodles, they are not fresh, and the broth tastes similar to what you would find in instant noodle/ramen from the store. In addition, when stirring the beef pho, a significant amount of starch from the noodles began to make the broth cloudy. On busy nights, there is also an extended wait time (I had to wait around 55 minutes). Unfortunately, will not be back.

This place is fantastic. Not only was the person taking my order friendly, but he helped me pick out what to eat. As a person who has only ever had instant pho from a convenience store this place has blown me away. The pho is hands down delicious and I will definitely come back again.

The pho here is just okay... I think the taste is an Americanized version of pho which is good in itself.
