  One of the best Pho joints in the region. I usually choose the Pho Rau Cai and the fresh spring rolls and both are exceptional. The restaurant is quite small and can get VERY crowded especially at lunch. The table density, and awkward entryway may be problematic for elderly or disabled patrons of this ground floor location. Give it a try and I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

  Just a Vietnamese Pho joint. But it's the Vietnamese Pho joint against which all are measured. Inexpensive Withe a great and richly deserved reputation.

This is a great place to learn about Vietnamese cuisine.

  Pho Sure Good!. Lots of awards all over the walls! Many patrons coming and going with cramped seating and small tables. Service was friendly, prompt, and food delivered very quickly. I recommend the Pho, of course, which is piping hot broth poured over noodles and raw ingredients. I ordered the Beef Noodle Bowl with rare steak, flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe. HUGE! Lots of meat, vegetables, and served with bean sprouts & basil. Wish the broth had been more flavorful. The menu has many other options, including appetizers (try spring rolls, fried quails, or shrimp cakes!), salads, seafood/beef/chicken entrees, noodle or rice plates, and vegetarian options. Prices are affordable and portions are plenty.

Good cheap eats.. I came here twice, once during a convention weekend so it was super busy but the service was still pretty adequate and I ate, paid and left rather quickly which is good as my time on vacation is limited.

Food tasted good and plentiful, plus is value for your buck.
  
This place was recommended to us by a VN bakery clerk in China Town as he rfavorite VN restaurant. Hhw was right!! We enjoyed our meals. My friend ran a restaurant in VN and said the soup was like home. We also ordered takeout as we live in Foxboro, We will be back!!
  
Good Pho. Good Pho, good broth, and priced well.

I am sitting in Pho Pasteur right now. It is 11:44 am and not too busy, so no excuse for what I am experiencing, which is the WORST Vietnamese food I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot. In fairness, I did not order Pho. But the Cha Gio (fried spring rolls) were served cold, with no mint or cucumber. WTF. The shrimp rolls were lukewarm and rubber. But the worst thing was the chicken with lemongrass. The chicken was perfectly cooked but bland. The sauce was a gelatinous atrocity against taste buds everywhere. Completely inedible and really just gross to look at. I would not eat here again if it were free (which it definitely wasn't). Avoid this place.

Well run, machine-like service. Delicious broth, good quality meat, and a generous serving of very fresh basil. Overcooked, mushy noodles were a disappointment. In all my years this was the first time I've encountered mushy, falling apart rice noodles at a pho restaurant. $7.75 total bill, maybe that's why?
Unsure opinion now. The first time i went here with my boyfriend, the service was quick and tasted good. yet recently, i went during the blizzard and the broth tasted like broth powder, the broth was not hot enough, the servers all stared at us, waiting to finish to give the check. my friends either got too little meat in their bowls of pho or too much. i just ate it because i was starving. to say it is delicious, not so much. it is not the prettiest of places, but what asian restaurant with "authentic" taste are?
