“ After a difficult weekend and a stressful Monday (thankfully ended with a massage), I was walking around Tuesday looking for some comfort food when I found Pho Pasteur in Boston.The pho was exactly what I needed - very flavorful broth, properly steaming hot with little bits of glistening chicken fat on top. I even added some of the brown sauce, which I don't typically do, and it was spot-on. I'm Bart, a Boston realtor who likes to share authentic reviews of restaurants and businesses I've enjoyed. I rarely post negative reviews, preferring instead to message businesses directly with constructive suggestions. ”
“ 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! ”
“ The food was good and served very quickly. There was plenty of food and it was not expensive. I had the ginger duck with rice, half an egg roll, and tried a little bit of pho and chicken noodle soup. It is not gourmet, but if you want good quality and low prices, it is a great place. ”
“ We ate there Pho - at 7-Sep-25, around 16:00. I ate the Pho with the sea food - see in the attached picture. The Pho is very big, so I took half of it in take away. It was very good, with lots of sea fruits. The vegetarian Pho that the other people ordered was also good. The service is quick and efficient, and prices are very reasonable. ”
“ Best authentic southern Pho in Boston (beats ones I've had in Dorchester). Have come back a few times. Great service and atmosphere. Reasonable price and good portions. However I do not recommend the curry vermicelli (bún cà ri gà). It was made using Japanese curry roux and not at all the more traditional Vietnamese coconut curry. ”
