We were craving Pho after an extensive night out as we were VERY hungover and looking for a warm soup bowl to cure our hangover. We were sat down fairly quickly despite it being very busy, the servers all came across very rude but the food did come out very quickly. I had ordered the Beef Pho and I had asked for it without tripe but they still put it in there anyway.. so after picking out the excess of tripe in the bowl the broth itself was actually very flavorful before I added any Hoisin or Sriracha. The beef was very tender and generously portioned. The bowl itself was huge and enough for both me and my girlfriend to share and still have enough to take home. The spring rolls were very average, not much to say about it there. It's a very cozy family owned style type of place that just makes you feel at home, and makes the food taste even better. Service could use some work and maybe actually writing down orders and modifications could possibly prevent mistakes like mine from happening in the future. read more

I ordered Lemongrass Chicken #42 Not sure if that's what I got, or if the cook was trying out a new recipe? Taste was different and didn't look very appealing. read more

Pho Pasteur - Lemongrass Chicken #42 - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I will preface by saying I think their rice dishes are good, but their pho is not. This is one of the very few Vietnamese restaurants in Boston Chinatown. It is a spacious interior with a lot of seating, coupled with quick service. Their menu is extensive ranging from classic Vietnamese noodle soups to rice dishes to a variety of drinks. However, I was a bit disappointed in the pho that they served. I thought the broth was lacking flavor and did not have that depth or seasoning that I was looking for in a typical pho broth. I did really enjoy the rice dishes like com thit nuong, and thought that the pork chop and other sides were great. read more

Go in, enjoy the food, eat, and get out. The table next to us wanted 5 star service..... don't expect that. Pho was average but hit the spot. Avocado milkshake was delicious. read more

I found this place on google maps while traveling in boston. it was a bit chilly in the evening so i wanted some pho so i came here. it was so busy with so many locals! the food price is very reasonable and the food was so good. the pho hit the spot and it was a perfect way to end the night. the service isn't friendly but it was a busy night. this place isn't suited for bigger parties, and i recommend coming as a couple or maybe as a group of 4. 10/10, would revisit when i'm in boston again! read more

Recently came for a pho fix. Hadn't been here in a long time. Prices are decent and portions are good. Hit the spot for my pho craving but the noodles were really disappointing, they must have been over cooked because they were all broken and falling apart lifting out a chopstick full- every time. read more

Pho Pasteur - 13. COMBINATION BEEF PHO (LARGE BOWL) - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've been coming to Pho Pasteur for years. It is one of the busiest places in Chinatown. They provide complimentary tea upon request. I usually order some type of pho although they have an extensive menu. This time I had the seafood noodle soup.Very good broth and a good amount of seafood. My server seemed bothered when I asked for a fork. Usually although a busy place, I find that servers are generally attentive and also quickly bring your check. This time, I had to go upfront to pay for my bill because I did not see my server for a while. Place wasn't very busy at the time and maybe he had other duties to attend to. Their bathrooms' floor were sticky and did not appear very clean. read more

I stopped by Pho Pasteur for the first time over a weekend and was surprised to see how large the space was! The menu is extensive with a variety of dishes but I opted to go for one of the more popular options, the BBQ Pork Chops (2). The dish ended up much bigger than I expected but overall I felt like the taste was okay. Some of the meat I received was quite fatty and the areas near the bone were still a bit red on the inside. Overall I'd rate my experience as okay - not something I'd necessarily seek out on my own. read more

I came here before a show at the Wilbur. We didn't have much time and we were seated right away and our food came out quickly. It was pretty good. My friend didn't realize she ordered a cold noodle dish, but we still enjoyed the meal. read more

I love the pho here, so healing. Service is usually pretty fast too, even when they're super busy. Very causal dining ambiance. Parking can be a little tough in this Chinatown area though, unless you're willing to pay for garage parking, which is very close. read more

I used to come to Pho Pasteur years ago when I lived in Boston, and I have so many great memories of eating here. I was really looking forward to coming back and experiencing that same sense of nostalgia. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to what I remembered. The quality just wasn't the same. The broth had a strange, off-putting flavor that I wasn't expecting. I kept hoping that adding the dressing and condiments would balance it out or bring back the familiar taste I remembered, but it didn't make much of a difference. It's always disappointing when a place you once loved doesn't live up to the memories you've held onto. I truly wanted to enjoy the meal and relive that experience, but this visit fell short. I hope this was just an off day, because I remember Pho Pasteur being a place I'd happily recommend. read more

Good pho, good appetizers, in good location. On a snowy day, we decided to go to Boston for some Pho. After spending way too long trying to get to expensive parking, I finally parked and made it in to Pho Pasteur. The inside was larger than I expected with plenty of open seating. We ordered the Pho XL Bowl with everything, the egg rolls, and the two quail appetizer. Service was quick, both when they took our orders as well as when it came out of the kitchen. The broth was great, full of flavor and the meat was plentiful, though both of our bowls were missing the tendon. We kept disappointing ourselves by mistaking onions for bits of tendon. The two egg rolls were good but super skinny, making me want for more. And the quail, while great, were a little too overcooked, but that didn't stop us from stripping all of the meat from the bones. If it wasn't for the parking situation, I would come here more often, but instead I may stop by some great places in Lowell that have free and plentiful parking. read more

Came in on a super windy and cold Boston night and got warmed up by some absolutely delicious pho!! Such a busy and packed place, but the servers are doing their BEST in ensuring everyone gets a table and everyone at tables are getting their food! Hot, fresh, tasty, what else can I ask from some pho? An absolute great place to checkout, but have some patience since it can be really busy but trust me it will be worth the wait! read more

Great casual dining in Chinatown. I was staying at the Hilton Doubletree a block away. Very close and convenient. The quality of food was exactly what I expected, coming from the San Jose California area. The service was fairly quick despite a crowded Friday night. Prices matched the quality and quantity so I'd return. read more

Pho on a rainy day in Boston makes everything better. I got the large Beef Noodle Soup (#13) and it completely hit the spot -- super flavorful, hearty, and definitely filling. The fresh rolls were fantastic too, super fresh and tasty. It was pretty busy despite the rain, but the service was quick and friendly. The space is cozy and simple -- nothing fancy, but that's part of the charm. You come here for the quality food, and it absolutely delivers. I'd definitely come back! read more

While on a recent trip to Boston, we were in search of delicious but affordable eats and Pho Pasteur fit the bill. Pho Pasteur is a Vietnamese restaurant with a homey diner feel to it.

Service was fairly quick and even though we did not have a reservation on a weekend night, we were seated fairly quickly. read more

Plenty of Vietnamese dishes in a busy establishment! We got the #12 X-Large Pho, #23 Beef Meatball Pho, and #41 Combo Pork Chop/Skin/Cake Rice Plate. The rice plate was solid all-around: taste, meat tenderness, portion, and ingredient balance were all great. The other members of my group also viewed their dishes similarly. Very efficient operation too, they've clearly optimized it! Worth another trip to explore their extensive menu read more

We love this place! My partner thinks this is the best pho he's ever had (he gets the #12). Food always comes out very quickly and piping hot. Love they have a vegetarian corner of the menu and most things are vegan. The vegetarian fresh rolls were tasty with a great peanut sauce and I enjoyed the 99. canh chua chay (vegetable and tofu hot and sour soup) with a flavorful broth and lots of veggies and tofu. Huge portions too. read more

Phở Pasteur is a classic Vietnamese restaurant that focuses on traditional comfort dishes, especially pho and other noodle soups. We walked into a casual, straightforward space that makes it the type of place you stop by for a quick, warm meal rather than a long dining experience. The atmosphere is nice with a busy, fast-paced energy that fits the style of food being served. The menu covers many Vietnamese staples, including different styles of pho, bun bo hue, rice dishes, and vermicelli bowls, giving plenty of options depending on what you are craving. The main draw here is the pho, but it landed a bit differently than expected. The broth had a lighter profile compared to other pho spots, with less of that deep, aromatic richness that usually makes the dish stand out. It was still enjoyable as a warm noodle soup, but the flavor felt a little more muted and did not have the same depth as some other Vietnamese restaurants nearby. The beef quality was solid, and the portions of noodles and meat were reasonable, but the broth is the part that makes the biggest difference in pho, and here it leaned more subtle than bold. Beyond pho, the menu offers a good selection of other Vietnamese dishes. The bun bo hue is a nice option if you prefer something with more spice and stronger flavors, while the rice and vermicelli dishes provide alternatives to the usual noodle soup. The restaurant also offers familiar sides and drinks like Thai iced tea, which pair naturally with the meal. Service is generally quick and the restaurant has a busy, efficient style, especially during peak hours. The staff handles the steady flow of customers well, and the food comes out without much delay. The location makes it convenient for a casual meal, but the fast pace can sometimes make the experience feel a little rushed. Prices are also a bit higher compared to some other Vietnamese restaurants, especially considering the portion size and the lighter broth profile, which may not feel like the best value for what you get. Phở Pasteur is a convenient option for Vietnamese food in the area, especially if you are looking for a quick bowl of pho. The food is solid, but compared to other pho spots, the lighter broth and higher pricing make it harder to stand out. It works well for a casual meal, though there are other places nearby that offer a more memorable pho experience. For a straightforward, no-fuss stop when you are in the neighborhood, it fills the gap, but it does not quite reach the level of a destination pho spot. read more

While visiting Boston, I was craving some pho and stumbled upon this spot. I decided to order my usual pho order, rare steak with tripe pho, while my friends ordered the Bun Bo Hue. Unfortunately, all of our orders were bland and very oily. I can't speak for their non-soup options, but based on this experience, I probably wouldn't come back for their pho if I'm ever back in Boston. read more

Pho Pasteur - Rare steak and tripe pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Not mind blowing pho but great hours and in a great spot. My dish came out super quickly and ripping hot, plus a generous side of basil and sprouts. I would describe the broth on the lighter side - not overly salty but also not complex. Additional condiments require a light touch. Still, I enjoyed it as a midmorning breakfast since too rich of pho sometimes leaves me overly full. Also liked their ca phe sua da - I've seen Vietnamese style coffee become more trendy and pop up at tons of Boston area cafes, but Pho Pasteur uses the correct beans and condensed milk. A full meal for $25 is quite the steal! Maybe not in Chinatown, but still very appreciated. Pay no attention to all the car drivers who complain about parking - not sure why anyone would want to drive to Chinatown, and obviously Pho Pasteur doesn't control whether or not there are parking spots. I'm excited to come back to try some of the vegetarian options, which I saw quite a few of on the menu but didn't get a chance to today. read more

My family and I thought our meal here was just OK. Definitely not bad, but we've all had better Vietnamese food. I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls and the tofu pho. Both were good but a little bland. Luckily there were lots of sauces at the table - tamarind, soy, sriracha - that I could add for more flavor. I did appreciate that they don't skimp on portions, even for the vegetables, which I've found isn't always the case for pho places. The sauces that the spring rolls came with were also very tasty. Ambiance is unpretentious and comfortable. I always appreciate when a restaurant is not too loud, even when crowded. Service was brusque and quick, which is just the way I like it. Not overbearing at all. I don't think I would necessarily go back, as there are better places in Chinatown, but it got the job done for a pre-show quick dinner. read more

My FAVORITE place to get pho. It is a small restaurant, and there are a lot of tables so you're close to others. It's also usually busy. Every time I go, it's busy but so worth it. Food is brought out quickly and always hot. The food is decently priced for how much you get; I always have food left over for another meal. Everyone that works here is so nice and helpful if you're unsure of what to get. If you're in Boston and want pho, this is the place to go. read more

We were looking for a quick bite to eat before attending a movie nearby. We were taking the T to get into Boston as parking is tough in the area. This place is a block from the Chinatown station and is also very close to the Boston Common and Theater District. It has a pretty large seating area but don't be surprised to be sitting close to others as the tables are close together. The first thing we noticed is most people were enjoying Pho. We ordered Bun Mang Ga- Bamboo shoot, rice vermicelli soup with shredded Chicken and also the Ham Spring rolls. Both were tasty, fresh and a large portion. Prices are very reasonable here. Service is quick. We'll be back! read more

We always eat here a few times whenever visit Boston as pretty close to our hotel. It was my first time to able to take my elder parents & husband with little one go to eat for a family dinner. Restaurant was slammed on Saturday evening with a very long line, we had to leave & found other place. The staff was nice to able to switch us to bigger table as we have stroller, my parents have walking canes & a bit difficult for them to squeeze in small table. Food is always on the good side every single time I eat. The "pho dac biet" is humongous, I couldn't finish half of it but needed a box for later. Shrimp & chicken pad Thai for my parents to share. Bun Bo Hue for my husband, he commented that it was one of the best Bun Bo Hue he ate in a long time. The lady at the cash register was very nice and gave out some candies for my son, she also helps me extra packing drinks to go as I ordered for my parents the next day. I really appreciate the help & they are always in my list for food whenever I will be in Boston. read more

The pho broth is amazing ! Don't forget to order a side of beef or chicken skewers as well! Service is great and fast .

I ordered the #12 XL Beef Pho. Overall it was good, but if I'm being picky, there's some room for improvement: 1. I wish the soup had been hotter. 2. The noodles had a slight funky smell--not the usual aroma I expect. 3. There was a lot of meat (which is great), but I wish there were crushed chili sauces available on the table. 4. The bean sprouts, basil, and lime were nice, but I would have liked some hot green peppers or jalapeños on the side. read more

The weather was terrible today but that means it's a great day for pho. It was wet, snowy, and cold. We happened upon Pho Pasteur on our gallivant through Boston. We wanted Pho and Pho Pasteur answered the call. The Pho was quick! Probably less than 10 mins from ordering to delivery. Cannot complain about that! The meal itself was delicious. It was hot and tasty. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is dated. The bathrooms aren't great but we didn't come here for those two things. We came for the Pho. If you want delicious pho, this is your spot. Will return! read more

The service was quick but unfriendly. The moment my friend and I walked into the restaurant, it felt like the staff's goal was to get us out. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it definitely didn't make me want to go back. The pho itself was disappointing. The soup was room temperature, though flavorful. The beef slices were dry and tough. It gets the job done, but that's about it. read more

Phở Pasteur remains one of the busiest and most consistent spots in Boston's Chinatown for traditional Vietnamese comfort food. It's a high-energy, quick-serve environment that is perfect for a casual lunch or a fast dinner before a show in the nearby Theater District. The Food: * Pho: The star of the menu is definitely the pho. The broth is decent and reliable, served in oversized bowls that are perfect for a hearty meal. * Bún Măng Vịt: We also tried the bamboo shoot and duck noodle soup. It was okay, but it didn't quite hit the same heights as the classic beef noodle soups. * Freshness: The herb plates are generally generous and fresh, which is a must for any good boba or pho experience. The Experience: The service is extremely fast--designed to get people in and out--which is helpful because this place is almost always busy. Despite the constant crowd, the staff handles the volume well. It's not the place for a long, lingering conversation, but it is exactly where you go when you want a steaming bowl of noodles without the wait. read more

Pho is one of my favorite comfort foods that I can't live without. Pho Pasteur was a place I had to try as I was passing Chinatown. I know it was good as it is the only place packed and a line forming as I passed by. I finally got in without a line and sat close to the window. The menu was vast but I only targeted the Pho. I ordered the x-large which was packed with thinly sliced beef and globs of parts. The soup was not super hot but very rich broth. For the price and the amount of protein I got - My belly was happy. Service was great as they make the rounds to get you in, feed you and get you out for the next customer. Highly recommend. read more

We went to Pho Pasteur around 11am. Street parking was almost impossible. Found a parking structure and parking was very challenging. Pho Pasteur was easy to find and was seated right away. The service was bit slow but pleasant. Pho dishes' portion was big. I had rare steak pho and I wished the steak was thinner and more noodles. The soup was really good. The egg rolls were really good but I didn't really care for fried quails. Everyone enjoyed the pho and egg rolls. Two of our party loved the fried quail. read more
