Davey Boy 2.0 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 We like Pho Bo Ga 2 @ Rochester and Somerset. I always get the Special A, beef saté, shrimp, bbq pork with rice noodle. Bit of heat and yes very filling.Pretty damn salty though but that's par for the course I think.You can get the flavouring in bags that are like tea bags, Crystal makes a huge pot of it from time to time for about $5-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I knew you'd be in here...I always mix up the pho bo ga's....Is that the one on the north side of the street?Really (about the teabags) when I make it at home I just use the generic broth in a box, unless I've got some home-made.

bouche Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Saigon Boy for sure man. Not sure what you like but my favourites are:#32 - wonton with egg noodle (delicious chicken broth)#15 - rare beef, beef flank, beef brisket with rice noodle (incredible beef broth)#42 - spring roll, grilled pork vermicelli#50 is a good plate too. Rice, grilled chicken, grilled pork and fried egg (get it runny!)http://www.menudb.ca/e/view?locale=ottawa&id=81&g=Saigon+Boy+Noodle+House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 yes, north side. the good part about the tea bagging is that you get the star anise, ginger and all those 'exotic' flavourings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Or you could just come to T.O. and I'll take you to a real Pho place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Ottawa does the Pho real good!My fav (back in the day) was this small little place that was across from the asian grocery store just over the bridge on Wellington (?- tough to remember as that street changes names about 4 times). It is in Mechanicsville. They had a rare beef satay that I used to add big shrimp to. I still miss that place. I wonder if it is still around?

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 i think that place changed twice already, maybe three times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 That's too bad! It was not the nicest place, but the pho rocked. I usually got the satay, but their normal broth was so tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Any good pho in the hammer? I see tons of places but don't know which to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Pho THU DO! 765 Somerset. This is my favourite pho in Ottawa. I just cruised up and down Somerset like 3 times on Google Maps to find it so you best be giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Any good pho in the hammer? I see tons of places but don't know which to choose.Pho NV, 52 Cannon Street West, Hamilton, ON (905) 912-1777, is my favourite non Ottawa Pho.Pho Pasteur is my fav in T.O.If I'm really hung over the only food I crave is Pho. Especially after an all nighter when nothing else is appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
