The pho is good but the fish sauce if you order the vermicelli is very lackluster. The mango smoothies are delish, but for some reason it took about ten minutes to get it!

Not really the best place to go for thai food. It tasted alright....quite small portions, watered down sauces and prices a little high. Better choices out there for sure.

Ahhhhhh Pho. Who doesn't love a bottomless bowl of soup?!? Nobody I tell you, NOBODY! Broth, noodles, veggies and meat. Delicious.
So now, more importantly, how is Pho Bo on Barton??
Pros:
Good Value. I often have the Seafood soup and Pho Bo easily gives you more shrimp, calamari, crab etc. then any other Pho restaurant I've been too in Hamilton. 7/10 on value.
Decent Food. Not the best Pho out there, but still rates a 7/10 in my books.
Cons:
Location. It might be difficult for you to convince others that a restaurant located next door to Barton Jail has something to offer. But it does.
Ambiance. Ya ...... there isn't any. Unless you dig vietnamese comedies which is usually what's playing on their 1980's 20 inch TV.
Cons aside, I'm not going to Pho Bo to revel in my affluent lifestyle and be treated like a King. I'm going because I have $10 bucks in my pocket and want a solid meal, not Subway. You will be out the door full and all in for the $10'er.
My favourite item. Appetizer. Grilled Calamari. Holy Sh*t people, this is by FAR the best calamari I have ever had. EVER. ANYWHERE. If you like calamari, get it.
