Phở Hòa Pasteur

[Ambiance] The restaurant is a bit away from the main tourist area, but still quite popular with visitors. Compared to the famous pho spots right in the city center, this place feels much more local and authentic. The space is large and clean. The first floor doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get a bit warm, while the second floor has AC but it’s quite weak. [Service] The staff don’t speak much English, but they understand orders well and the food came out quickly and accurately. They’re not overly friendly like in some touristy restaurants, but they seem hardworking and sincere — focused on getting things done properly. [Food] ▪︎Fresh Cold Roll – Fresh and clean flavors, with a perfect balance of herbs. ▪︎Spring Roll – The coating was a bit thick for my taste. ▪︎Well Done Brisket – The beef slices were thick and generous, but a bit tough, which made it hard for kids to eat. I wonder if the Raw Beef option would have been more tender.

Absolutely incredible pho — easily the best I’ve had anywhere. The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced — not overly sweet like many places in Australia tend to make it. You can really taste the depth of flavour and the care that’s gone into preparing it. Everything from the fresh herbs to the tender noodles and meat was spot-on. If you’re a pho lover, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!

My food rating guide: 2.5/5 ‐-------> Average taste 5/5 ‐--------> Scrumptious! (My comfort food! 🤩) Nice bowl of pho. Tender fresh beef and al dente beef ball. Medium bodied savoury soup. Smooth and soft noodle. Clean taste. The pho was a 4.5/5

I ordered the beef pho, the soup was really good. The beef was tender. On the table there so many sauces, you can add fresh chili and there are many fresh vegetable provided.

Had this recommended by ChatGPT all the bottom tables were taken, but they have an upstairs section and a section off of that upstairs section which had some seats I got the pho tai chin. That was delicious. Rich broth and lots of sides to add. I also got the iced tea. That was excellent. Service was very fast when you’re done they give you a receipt so you can take to pay at the front counter. Pro tip: bring your own napkins. They charge you 2000 If you use that wet wipe and there’s no napkins on the table.

It was my first time trying an authentic pho and it was so good! The broth is very tasty and there are a lot of greens that you can add. Just be careful on adding lime can it can really alter the taste. We tried the fresh spring roll. It was so-so. If you are not fond of vegetable, skip it cause the greens are overpowering. The fresh juices are very tasty and refreshing. Lastly, the dough sticks are not free but they'll put it in your table even if you didn't order it. But if you'll not eat it, it will not be charged to you. Will definitely go back before flying back home.

• One of the most legendary pho spots in Saigon — clean, consistent, and full-bodied broth. • Tried the brisket bowl and it was the best I’ve ever had • Locals and expats alike swear by it. → Go here if you want a no-fail, OG pho experience.

The best Pho for our family! Really love it here. So nice to be back in HCM after so many years and it still taste so good. Get the all meat combo, you can taste every pho on the menu (except chicken).
