Have you been in the mood for a great bowl of pho and haven’t been quite sure where to go to get one?
Have you been in the mood for a great bowl of pho and haven’t been quite sure where to go to get one? Since there is no shortage of selection in the GTHA, the choice as to where to dine can be a tough one—especially when great pho restaurants are plentiful across cities.
When it comes to great pho restaurants, everything is important. Is the medium-rare beef truly medium-rare and deliciously pink in the middle? Is the broth hot and flavourful? Is the hot sauce bottle full and ready to go?
Both Mississauga and Hamilton are known for their respective food scenes, and both offer a ton of excellent burger joints—but only one city can have the absolute best hotspots.

Hamilton has become something of a food mecca in Southern Ontario and for good reason, the restaurants are always on point. Those in the mood for some pho can try the always busy (and always satisfying) Pho Binh Minh on Upper James Street, the hidden (but so worth it) Pho Lac Vien, the incredibly popular Pho Dui Bo on Cannon Street (prepare yourself for huge portions), the Stoney Creek mountain favourite that is Lotus and our number one pick, the adorably named (and always tasty) Made Pho You on Queenston Road. While Made Pho You is our number one pick, we know there’s no lack of pho in Hamilton.
