Review from Jenn C.

Now that the Superstore has opened right next to it, going to Pho Hoan Pasteur for dinner right before doing groceries has become the yummy norm. After ordering my favourite #14 pho (or maybe it was 13 - whichever one has the brisket and crunchy) the last few times (sometimes you get more brisket, sometimes more tendon and crunchy, but always excellent resilient noodles), I decided to try something new that I'd been eyeing for a while - bun bo hue, which is supposed to be a spicy lemongrass broth beef noodle soup. I love spicy and I love lemongrass, and bun-type noodles are my favourite!
As usual, service was super fast. Since this was the first time I'd ever eaten this dish, I wouldn't be able to tell you how authentic it was, but it was pretty good! A good kick of spice - nice droplets of red fat/oil on the surface of the soup. The lemongrass taste was not as pronounced as I thought it was going to be, but still really nice. Noticeably more cilantro (taste-wise from the garnish) than in their pho - really brightens up the soup. There was a slight pungent taste that I associate with fish sauce - not overwhelming at all - a nice complement. The meat was beef brisket - a little bit fatty, just the way I like it, plus these Asian meatballs - I think they were pork with cilantro (love the resilient texture of them). You get all the usual garnishes plus some shredded red cabbage - yum. Overall, would order it again.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Mmm! Their pho sure is tasty. Good broth similar to Tau Bay (my current favourite). The large bowl… Read more »

I was in the area and my options were essentially this, Pizza 73, and Quizno's, so I turned to my handy Yelp app and went here.
And while I wasn't expecting it to be packed on a Saturday afternoon, sure enough it was so packed that I needed to take my food to go. Most of the people dining there were Vietnamese, but there were plenty of non-Vietnamese people eating there as well.
The menu itself is fairly typical for a Pho place, despite the fact that Pho Hoan Pasteur calls itself a "fusion noodle house."
While I had initially come to Pho Hoan Pasteur to eat its namesake dish, the necessity to take out made me want something a little less likely to spill in the bag. So I went for some sort of a hodgepodge noodle plate, which included "shredded pork," sausage, grilled shrimp, and a pork spring roll. The sausage and the shrimp had fantastic flavour - and you could really taste some well seasoned grilling on that shrimp.
Despite claiming to come with vegetables, the plate only came with a little bit of shredded lettuce, some shredded carrots, some shredded cucumber, and some bean sprouts. I was expecting more veggies in the dish.
All food tasted fresh and had the perfect amount of grease.
I look forward to actually trying the Pho here sometime.Listed in: The Underdog Challenge

I am going to be the first person to give this a place a warm (comparatively, speaking) review.
Don't get me wrong; I have been here quite a few time and, every time, the place is clean looking, the food is good, and the service is what you expect but the food for me doesn't stand out.
If you have a big appetite, the regular size soup won't be enough without an appetizer.
I saw a customer eat spring rolls at the next table over blotting out grease with a napkin. It could have been that they were oily or he was just crazy.
I found the Bun Bo Hue to be pretty bland compared to outside places.
The Beef noodle soup to be good but the broth lacking richness.
The pork chop, rice, and egg plate to be the same as everywhere else.
My mother and I hold some sort of ambivalence about this place but my sister and father love it so it could be a matter of preference.
Milkshakes and Vietnamese Coffee are a big thing for Vietnamese restaurants and they are hit and miss each time that I've tried it. -

Friday night at 7pm and the place was packed, but we were still able to get a table as soon as we walked in the door.
The service was really neither here nor there. It was fairly prompt in terms of ordering and delivering of food - considering how busy they were - but the waitress was quite bland and I don't remember her saying anything other than repeating our order.
There are menu items other than pho, but I was in the mood for pho so I didn't look at anything else. A small bowl is $7 and a large is $8, more for extra meat. At first I ordered a small, but when I saw the dirty dishes cart rolling by and saw how small it really was, I decided to switch my order to a large - a rare occurrence, I hardly ever order large. The noodles were plentiful. The broth was quite good but not my favourite in the city. However, the meat was probably the best pho meat I've had in the city. It just tasted fresher and of better quality than I've had at other places.
Super duper bonus - they accept credit and debit!Listed in: So Pho-king good!

In general I really like Pho, and with Pho Hoan Pasteur I know that when I'm craving Pho I'll get a good bowl consistently. The service is quick, the food is always tasty and the prices are really reasonable. What I love best is their really clear soup broths that are full of flavour.

This place is awesome. Fast and friendly service and when they say your pickup order is going to be ready in 10 minutes, they're not kidding! Pho is fabulous here. This is not the place to come for green onion cakes (they're deep fried instead of pan fried), but everything else I've had on the menu has been excellent.

Pho Hoan Pasteur has the decor and menu of a typical noodle house you would find in Chinatown, or pretty much anywhere else in the city. What sets this place apart is the freshness of the ingredients and especially the flavour. I had chicken pho ga and it was incredible. The broth was perfectly seasoned without being too greasy or salty. The all-white meat chicken tasted as though it had been cooked fresh for the soup. The other meal ordered at our table was a beef vermicelli bowl. A generous portion of noodles topped with pickled carrots, cucumbers and a heaping of freshly-grilled beef was both attractive and delicious. I've heard a few people rave about this place and had to experience it for myself - now I see why. I will be back, and often.
