I wish I could give this place 0 stars! Let's start with…read morethe entrance. There is a vestibule- the first door pushes out and the next door pulls in. So you kinda get cramped in before entering the semi- basement. We noticed there were some cracked tiles and the furnishings were cheap and dark. We decided to start with the appetizer. We had crab cakes. Two cakes the size of a loonie. They were good. But not worth the price. My hubby ordered a chicken curry dish. The bread it came with was greasy. The chicken had bone fragments in it. I had some sort of noodle beef dish. It was the smallest piece of beef with udon noodles and the dish was DROWNED in hoysin sauce. We went for lunch and it came to about $80. We should have just gone to the foodcourt in Jackson square. It would have tasted better and we could have saved $70

I got the pear ginger cocktail which was refreshing and pretty good size - lasted throughout our meal. We got 4 appetizers for two of us to share: sushi tacos, fried chicken, lobster shumai and beef bao. Sushi tacos were my favorite for sure. I love ahi tuna and the texture and spice were perfection. The flavor of the KFC Fried chicken was really tasty as well. We got a little messy and had to wash our hands several times, but overall great experience. Service was excellent. Ambiance was nice. We'll definitely be back to try more things.

It's not often that we find East Asian food in this area, so we had high hopes considering the reviews. Although our food tasted and looked great, the prices seemed a bit too high for the portion size and ingredients. I could see these prices at a fine dining establishment, but the ambiance felt more of a typical local bar/restaurant than fine dining. Perhaps we're too used to the plethora of East Asian food options in the GTA. I will say that the use of Cumbrae's meat stood out in the poutine (super tender!), as well as the rich broth in the shumai.

The menu is extensive and it was a challenge settling on just one but finally settled on stir fried chicken, shrimp, and beef with veggies on rice vermicelli. My dining partner had a grilled pork chop, fried rice, and fried rice. The entrees were competent (yet not spectacular), plentiful, and decent value. A nice change from the usual quick service fare. The room is fine. Again adequate without being spectacular. Lastly, we had enough to carry next days lunch away.

My go-to here is any of the vermicelli bowls - these are always perfect for me, no notes. They always serve just the right serving size and I leave satisfied but not super full.

Ahhhhhh Pho. Who doesn't love a bottomless bowl of soup?!? Nobody I tell you, NOBODY! Broth,…read morenoodles, 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.

Big restaurant. -J I liked this restaurant, I thought I was in Toronto the whole time but it turns out we were in Hamilton. Pho was good but lowkey need more content like there was not a lot of beef and not as much noodle as I was expecting. Maybe bump up noodle content by 15% and like 10% more beef and it would've been stellar. Broth tasted good as hell but at the end of the day I'm here for the noodles and beef and they mostly delivered. Okay I'd recommend if you're in Hamilton. -G

I went here for lunch and ordered a lot of the dim sum options in addition to the sushi rolls. The dim sum food was pretty good and you don't usually see this at other AYCE restaurants so I quite enjoyed this. My go-to dim sum dishes are chicken feet and beef tripe, and both of these were fairly good here. The sushi and grill options were quite standard here - the only roll that stood out for me that was unique and surprisingly delicious was the mango/avocado/cream cheese roll (forgot the specific name of the roll).. yes, it sounds a bit odd, but it's definitely worth a try.. just don't dip it in soy sauce! My only complaint about this place was that the ice cream was served in foam take out containers along with plastic spoons - very wasteful.

It was not during peak time, so the person on cash also cooked our meal. We tried the Spicy Peanut Noodle Box and Black Bean and Garlic Box, both with chicken option. While the food was made with fresh ingredients, the taste was fair. Both dishes needed more flavour. The sauce on the Spicy Peanut Noodle Box was a little too thick, and I didn't taste the balance of coconut. The Black Bean and Garlic Box could have used a little more black bean and seasoning. Portions were good. Overall, there are other restaurants I would try first before returning.

There was a decent number of diners present when we dined in on a rainy Thursday evening. What did not sit well with me was their menu pricing was different from what you were charged at the machine. This was true for the seafood combo I ordered. I went with fish which is about a dollar cheaper compared to the shrimp. When I went to pay, I noticed that I have been charged the more expensive item for their seafood combo. I brought it up with the server and she initially mentioned that it was due to tax being applied. I argued again and explained clearly that it cannot be due to the tax and that I was clearly charged the higher rate. After some more arguing and back and forth which was accentuated more due to the problem with communication from their end, she then just mentioned that the seafood combo was just priced that way with the machine. I still did not accept this reasoning but decided to pay for the higher-priced false advertising seeing that the conversation was just going nowhere.
