    a man sitting at a table in a restaurant
    Deborah K.

    My husband and I were at this location of Pho Lac Vien last week for the first time. We've been to the one in Mississauga many times, so we thought it would be fun to compare. We were really impressed with the dishes we had. I had a bowl of chicken curry soup with rice noodles and it was so tasty. There was a reasonable amount of chicken in it and I asked for half noodles, which was exactly what I got (not always the case). The broth was really delicious and a little bit spicy. Just perfect. My husband had a noodle soup with pork and shrimp and his was also very tasty with plenty of protein. The interior of the restaurant was spacious, airy and clean and the server (owner) was very friendly. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Hamilton.

    Hmmmmm yum!! Raw beef pho

    One of my favourite pho places in Canada! I'm picky for my pho (food in general) so that says a lot. The portions are generous, fresh and tasty. Tastes authentic and delicious. The restaurant has a modest decor and is comfortable. Nothing fancy however with good food, you don't need the decor to make up for anything. Staff is always friendly and polite and radiate good energy I highly recommend and have already become a regular customer myself.

    The pho tasted a bit different from typical pho you can get in the GTA. The broth tasted a bit sour. Some people may enjoy it but it wasn't my type of pho. Where is the beef broth? I also got a lychee bubble tea which came at the end of our meal. I didn't particularly enjoy it, either. It was too much of syrupy taste. Inside is decorated nicely with a small aquarium and lots of plants. The entrance is at the back where the parking lot is and it is right next to some garbage bin.

    My traveling companion had a spicy satay noodle soup with beef, which I had a few bites of and it was delicious.

    My family and I have been 15+ times since Em Oi opened, and have never been disappointed. The food…read moreis delicious - my particular favourites are the shaking beef, the pad Thai, and the carmelized pork fresh rolls. The new additions of banh mi and bao round out the menu by offering slightly smaller meals at lower prices. We've tried lots more over our many visit, and have yet to find a dish we haven't enjoyed. The Vietnamese coffee is a treat, with a deliciously sweet mix of sweetened condensed milk and coffee. In terms of ambiance and service - the restaurant is spacious and the seats are nicely spread out. The noise isn't overly loud and you can actually have a conversation while you eat. The servers are attentive and check in often. The only disappointment we've ever had is the day we went to get a meal only to find out it was fully booked out for a holiday party. Now we know to call ahead of time in the holiday season - it sees others love this place just as much as we do!

    This Vietnamese restaurant has a more upscale feel when you walk inside with nice and bright decor…read more The service is friendly from when they first greet you and throughout our seating time. For appetizer we ordered their spring rolls and bo la lot and both dishes tasted fantastic and savory. The peanuts on top of the bo la lot was a great addition and spring rolls were nice and crispy, both are great options to start your meal. For my main I ordered the bun bo hue and my family all ordered their bowl of pho. The pho broth was nice and light but still had great flavours from all the pho spices. My bun bo hue was also delicious and flavourful. A great bowl of soup to warm up the soul during the cold fall weather. The pieces of meat that comes with the bowl was also cooked well and was tender. We will definitely return whenever we come visit Hamilton area.

    I'm fortunate that my girlfriend is Vietnamese, otherwise I would have never found out that there's…read moreamazing banh mi in Hamilton. The bread is crispy yet chewy yet tender, and it's filled to the brim with delicious toppings. I've tried their Country Pate, Ultimate Oink, and the standard Saigon -- all are delicious. I'm not an expert on banh mi, but this blows all the places in the city right out of the water. If you're ever in the area and craving a good sandwich... McQueen's is the place to be.

I've only had Bahn Mi a few times and I have to say it was mediocre at best so I was expecting more of the same. Wow! Wow! Wow! McQueen's is like night and day with other Bahn Mi places. The taste and the flavors are of the chart. The place is just a sandwich shop with no seating and only about 6 offerings of Bahn Mi. I went with their classic recommendation The Saigon with was pork based with pork belly, pate and roast pork as well as some great veggies. But the standout was the bun ...crispy,crunchy,flaky on the outside and like a soft pillow on the inside. Delicious! I couldn't stop eating it once I started bite after bite... barely swallowing before the next bite.. it was gluttonous! I had found a sandwich which I would drive 45minutes to buy easily! The staff were extremely nice and feel they really care about putting out quality food! Easily a 5 star rating! Thanks McQueen's see you so
