Pho Pasteur

Amazing Pho! This place is an absolute gem for pho lovers and anyone who appreciates fresh and flavorful Vietnamese cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a casual lunch or a relaxing dinner.

The combination of outstanding food, friendly service, and a welcoming vibe makes this spot a must visit. Whether you are a regular pho fan or trying it for the first time, you will leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. Highly recommend.

If you love authentic TRUE VIETNAMESE tasting pho come here ! It is so delicious and nutritious and it leaves you wanting more. The number 14 is filet mignon with rice and vegetable sides and mini pho broth soup. Impeccable. All the ladies as well are sooo so kind ! Shout out to them 💗🙏🏼 I suggest this place highly

My brother disregarded that it was a pho restaurant and ordered bu luc lac (shaking beef) instead. Still he seemed to like it, the surprise was it was fried with jalapeno so the seeds were a good kick. I'll probably try the pho next time we are around. Service was nice. Tried pho this morning, it was tasty.

First off, The service in this spot is extremely friendly and welcoming, From the greeting to the informative menu explanation, It made my experience all that amazing. The pho broth was perfect. Zero complaints. This has been the best pho I have had! Highly recommend!

Their claim to fame is filet mignon slices with their pho. And, yea, those slices ARE tender and goes down well. They are also generous the doesn't slices they provide. Good stuff.

Great service, quick and great pho in the San Jose. It’s perfect for cold fall day!

The pho is amazing. My girlfriend and I both eat a lot of pho in Los angeles. We even went to vietnam and had pho. This place us awesome and tasty. Atmosphere could be better, staff was very friendly and food was amazing.

2/13/2022 at 9am. Opens early. Basic place to get food without service. Just like a food court in malls. Too oily and bowl size does not match value price.

Pho Pasteur is located in the Lion Plaza Food Court area. Dining hall seating for all. Decent spot for groups of people, you would need to stake out tables early enough. *Pho Dac Biet: steak, flank, brisket, tendon, tripe (Reg). Choice between thin or wide noodles. Clean, flavorful, and simple broth. They will help bus your dirty dishes. Support your local business.

I was confirmed with the phone number, to send payment via Venmo, on their business card when calling in for an order. I got there to pick up my order she said she didn't receive the payment. It was supposed to be another phone number. It was just lost payment and I won't be coming back for anything else. Update: I got a call and apologize from the sister for not relating about the Venmo payment. I went back to pick up the order. I like it!

When in SJ, you have to get a bowl of pho! I still havs not found a bad bowl of pho in SJ. And this spot inside the plaza is no different. Just a simple traditional bowl of pho that hits the spot. Also at this plaza, there are other Vietnamese cuisine so sure to accommodate everyone's palatte.

The last time I came to the Lion Plaza food court, I knew before I even got into my car that I was going to end up at Bo Ne Phu Yen. However, if I hadn't already decided, there's a better than decent chance I would've ended up coming to Pho Pasteur instead. It's not to say that it's the only interesting place, let alone the most interesting, but the trays of pho I saw coming out of here looked super enticing! Of course, it didn't hurt either that so many Yelp friends have given this relatively high marks! Given the obvious limitations of being a food court stall, as opposed to a full service restaurant, it makes sense that Pho Pasteur's offerings are relatively modest by comparison. There aren't any starters/small dishes, vermicelli bowls, or rice plates for the most part (you can find them at the neighboring stalls), but the menu does have a bunch of noodle soups to choose from, including beef pho with various meat combinations, Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue, and several types of Hu Tieu. In addition, they also have Com Bo Buc Lac, Bo Kho (with noodles or French bread), and Bot Chien Gion. That last one in particular is something I don't see very often (in SF, anyways), which makes me regret not ordering it despite my cravings for the two things I did try. -- (#7) PHO TAI, DUOI BO - Beef Pho with Slices of Rare Steak, Flank, and Brisket...$19 (Large) While this looked more impressive than it tasted, it was still great. All three cuts of beef were flavorful (the brisket was best), the noodles had a nice bite, and the broth wasn't too fatty. Also, the oxtail I added (+$5) was pretty good, but it felt like it needed to be cooked longer (the meat wouldn't release). -- (#14) COM BO LUC LAC (Shaking Beef) - Shaking Cubed Filet Mignon Steak with Red Rice, Fried Egg, and Soup...$19 In hindsight, I wish I got the Bot Chien Gion instead of this purely for its uniqueness. Not that this was bad; this was actually pretty solid. The cubes of beef were tender and I liked the red rice, but the meat felt a little light on seasoning, though the sauce it came with made up for that. As much as I've enjoyed my trips to Pho Pasteur, one thing that did surprise me the first time I came here was how the menu prices were a little higher than I would've expected for a food court eatery. I get that things are more expensive these days, but I wouldn't have guessed a large bowl of pho would be almost $20. That said, they're well worth the money, given how loaded with beef my bowl of pho was and how good it tasted, so I wouldn't say the menu here is overpriced at all. In fact, I've obviously been back already and I wouldn't be opposed to making more in the future to try more. If I lived in SJ, this place would definitely be in my rotation whenever the mood for pho strikes!

5/5 for one of the best quality taste in #12, Bun Bo Hue Suon Bo beef noodle bowl. It's not the regular #11 Bun Bo Hue, but it's the better one with the big pork bone/not spicy soup. This is actually pretty darn good and authentic for food court style fast foods. Impressed. This is my first time ever ordering from them. The best Hu Tieu place across the aisle was shutdown. Pho Pasteur was empty after 1 pm Monday. No lines and no crowds. My bowl was huge! Generous portions. Condiments on front counter to the far right. Best of all, they accept credit cards now compared to cash only just few years ago. Most food stalls here accept credit cards now. Staffs were hardworking women and the lady kindly sprinkled additional black pepper onto my noodle bowl. Very welcoming and friendly with good smiles. Old uncles or janitors have been keeping the entire food court clean during pandemic years. Around $20 range, my noodle bowl quality was top notch for this type of place. Ingredients were fully packed. Soup was excellent in taste. People usually order their popular Pho noodle bowls here. They give you a buzzer/ringer when waiting for your order. I'm glad I stopped by. Not disappointing. Authentic Vietnamese cooking for sure. Red meats were tender and plentiful in my bowl. I have a very good feeling about this place. Absolutely delicious today.

Only tried the bot chien Uniquely thin layer crispy Comes with ponzo like dipping sauce with pickled carrots dailon Lots of fresh green onions Option to add sriracha Inside good court of lion plaza- the asian market/ plaza You get a buzzer while waiting

Goes to phở eatery and doesn't order phở. That's me! Cuz BBH over phở on any day but I didn't order that either at Phở Pasteur. I'm that weirdo that's came for an app but not just any basic Viet app you can find everywhere. Bột Chiên Giòn: Crispy Rice Flour Cake & Eggs. Iykyk...this is such an underrated S. Viet savory snack. And unfortunately, it's a unicorn in the city which means you gotta drive to E Man Jose for it (Red Bowl's version in daly city just doesn't hit the same way). Phở Pasteur is located inside Lion Plaza's food court. They're open for takeout and dine-in only. Outdoor seating available. M E N U Phở, Hủ Tiếu (pork and seafood noodle soup), BBH (spicy beef noodle soup), Bún Riêu (crab noodle soup), Bò Kho (beef stew), Bò Lúc Lắc (shaking beef), Bột Chiên Giòn (crispy rice flour cake & eggs), and Bánh Kẹp Lá Dứa (pandan waffle). Complimentary hot tea provided for dine-in. Cc's accepted. F O O D * #14 Bột Chiên Giòn: Crispy Rice Flour Cake & Eggs (Large - $15): https://tinyurl.com/3vtb3a52 Crunchy rice flour cakes enveloped by an omelette topped with scallion oil and served with a sweet soy dipping sauce. The owner said, they made it extra crispy for me. I didn't request it extra crispy so the rice cakes lost its fluffy soft center to contrast the crispy browned crust. The sweet soy was watered down, missing a sweet tang so we used nước chấm from the other eatery we ordered from for dipping. Don't get me wrong, the bột chiên giòn was still good just not my ideal texture. S E R V I C E Very friendly owner. They give you a buzzer which worked fine outside. Order was ready in about 10-12 minutes as quoted. A M B I A N C E Run down, dingy food court. It hasn't changed since I was a kid eons ago. You come here strictly for the food, not the vibes. P A R K I N G Challenging parking during peak hours but totally doable before 12 pm on the weekends. Overall, tasty bột chiên giòn. Would order again but will make sure to specify not extra crispy.

Best Pho place in this food court. Fast service and tasty. Complementary hot tea. Price is reasonable.

Pho Pasteur is good! I don't know if it's the best pho spot in the food court, but it's a solid choice if you can't decide what you want. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet and it was real tasty. I like how it came with some tea. I'm a fan of Louis Pasteur so only makes sense that Pho Pasteur would be good too.

I like all the pho in pasteur. Love the drinks and the staff are pretty polite and nice ! I had a great experience there and I love my visit there . It a great treat to have anytime , and I would go here if I was at Lion plaza . Thanks for serving me , and I will be back sometimes.

Still the BEST BEEF PHO IN SAN JOSE!!! I have been eating here since I rediscovered it. It's been good 3-4mos, I never missed a week. Let me tell you, THE CONSISTENCY IS JUST TOP NOTCH. Flavorful & just yummy goodness! I don't normally enjoy eating pho in the morning but not anymore. I changed! I now eat PHO for breakfast. Sooooooooo goooood!! Nothing beats a fresh hot soup'!!! The ladies in the front are so sweet. Very nice!!!

Wouldn't come back. Came here for the bot chien gion (radish cake with eggs) and didn't like it. The radish cakes were smaller and thinner and not made very well imo. Didn't have the chewy fluffy, qq texture that makes this dish sing when it's done well. The eggs were not fluffy and everything tasted overly oily which meant the temperature was not high enough during the initial frying process. The pho broth was decent though more sour than other broths but the meat was stingy and quality.

I've been told a number of times over the years that Pho Pasteur is the place in the East Side for pho. While I agree their pho is good -- competition in the SJ pho business is alive and well. I picked up my goddaughter from school and we decided to grab boba and pho. Since we were nearby, I suggested we check this spot out as it was a weekday afternoon which meant the plaza would not be as crowded as usual. When we walked up to the stall (located in the food court of Lyon Plaza) -- a very nice lady took our order. My goddaughter wanted specific meats in her pho and they were able to customize which was nice. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet which is essentially "the works" -- yum. The broth was savory but the noodles were a tad bit over cooked for me (I asked for the fresh noodles and my goddaughter wanted the regular thin pho noodles). There was a lot of meat in both bowls so they don't skimp for all you carnivores. I would say it's worth trying. Support local small businesses, y'all!

Parking is plenty. Service is fast. Waffles tasted so good. Located in Asian food court. Ambience homey.

I've been eating their pho for years. True to its name, their pho is very good. Recently, I decided to try something else on their menu, Bun Cha Ca Thia La. It's a rice noodle soup with fried fish paste and fresh dill. I love the taste! The portion comes with slices of fresh white fish, fried tasty fish paste, tomato, fried tofu and pineapple. The broth is clear but rich flavor and delicious. It quickly becomes one of my favorites beside Bun Rieu from this place when I want to something light instead of beef pho.

Sweetest family-owned pho restaurant. The ladies are always greeting me with a smile, and it brings me joy to see them too! Once you go into the Lion Plaza food court, they will be the first restaurant to the left. They take both cash and credit card, and will give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. My favorite go-to is the Pho Tai, and the broth is so tasty and comforting. The nice cashier lady tends to ask if I want black pepper to sprinkle on top, which helps bring out the flavor even more. Bun Bo Hue and Bo Luc Lac is also available to order here. A cup of hot tea will be served with your entree order.

The staff are so friendly and nice all the time!! They never complained about how much condiments you'll eat, which thank you for not pointing me out haha!! The pho is comforting as usual, highly recommend

The food was amazing here. The broth was nice and salty and the noodles had a nice spring to them. They also had the thick noodles which were also amazing. The beef ball and the rare steak were also nice additions. With a bit of Sriracha and lime, the broth was just next level. Also, the service was so easy and so fast here. I got my food within 5 minutes of ordering. Definitely try!

I think my first experience here literally altered my brain chemistry. I had always gone to this plaza growing up and my family and I occasionally ate in the food court. Not sure when Pho Pasteur was added but I wish I had known about it sooner. The food court is nothing special, you order your food and find a table in the center communal seating area. The workers are so incredibly friendly, I couldn't stop talking about how nice they were. Also, they accept Venmo for payment!! The oxtail pho with fresh noodles is one of the best pho I've ever had in my life. My boyfriend, who is a huge soup guy, also agreed it was one of the best he's tried. The broth is so savory and flavorful, I really couldn't believe I could eat something this delicious and receive such good of service at a food court LOL. I wish I still lived in San Jose and could come eat here more often!

Honestly I never crave pho as much as BBH. Surprisingly as many pho restaurants out there, I find it pretty difficult to find a solid spot. San Jose probably has pho restaurants in every corner but sometimes the best spot are hidden like this one. Pho Pasteur is located in Lion Plaza's food court. The food court has a ton of more options to choose from but whenever I do crave for pho, I come here. I always get pho dac biet which comes with a little bit of everything with wide noodles. The beef broth is pretty good and wide noodles are my noodle preference, I believe they have thin noodles as well. The ladies that work there are super sweet, they would ask me "what would you like to order? everything is good!" The only issue is finding a table especially if you're going on the weekend during lunch time. 11:30am-2pm is rush hour during the weekends. I recommend bringing sanitize wipes for the tables. During rush hour you have to be on a look out to see who gets up so you could claim a table.

My dad introduced me to this place one morning when we were looking for some morning pho at 8AM (they open at 8!), and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Trust me, especially since the pandemic, it's been hard to find restaurants that open that early. Being from San Jose, we've been lucky to have tried tons of great, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and this place is no exception. It's located in an unassuming small food court in the corner of a plaza with other food options, but there are tons of regulars that come eat here specifically it seems, so you know it has to be pretty good. My dad's also gotten the pho for me togo before, and they package it really well-with everything separate so nothing is cooked/soggy. I'm pretty simple and my favorite kind of pho is pho tai because the rare slices of beef are my favorite. They definitely don't skimp on the meat either. I've tried both #1 pho dac biet (basically the combination pho-rare slices steak, flank, brisket, tendon, tripe) and #5 pho tai bo vien (rare slices steak, beef meat ball). My favorite was the #5 because I get lots of steak and meat balls, but if you like the different cuts of meat in your pho I recommend #1. Oh, and you know sometimes the meatball tastes almost *too* meaty? Their meatballs are surprisingly really good. You also have the choice between thin and wide/flat noodles, but my preference for pho is thin noodles. The broth is hearty, not too salty, and authentically aromatic. On the side, you get bean sprouts, jalapenos, basil, lime, etc. Their bean sprouts are pre-boiled (super side note/personal preference), but my family prefers that so the bean sprouts don't taste too raw in the pho. $15 for a regular size (#5) My dad likes to get bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup and beef ribs) or #9 bun rieu (crab paste, tomato, vermicelli soup). He likes them both and as seen in my photos, it's a hearty portion size with lots of toppings. $16 for a regular size (#9) The ladies there are super friendly (even at 8 in the morning), and my dad always asks for their complimentary hot tea, which is a nice touch. You can pay with cash/card, and they give you a buzzer for you to grab your meal. Condiments (sriracha/hoisin/etc) are self serve at their counter. Overall, this is a great pho place with friendly service and yummy homemade meals. There's also outdoor seating, if you prefer that. Support your local businesses! I really enjoy coming with my dad for some morning pho here and I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu :)

Superb pho at pho pasteur, delicious home made beef broth, nice clean cuts of ox tail and soft beef slice. Soup was perfect for any day, seemingly not thirsty after consuming a bowl which is a great sign! Will definitely return to try more beef noods

Located in a food court next to some other popular Vietnamese spots, Pho Pasteur is some A tier pho. Broth is flavorful and proteins are generous. Got the #1 and loved trying every type of protein, especially their meatballs! Highly recommend opting for the fresh noodles (thicker). Seals the deal for this spot!

I have actually not had the phở here yet, but we love the Bột Chiên Giòn. It's great for sharing as a snack or appetizer. I will try the phở eventually, there's just so many good options in this food court!

The food was so good the pandan waffle went well with the soy milk, the daikon radish omelette was a must try and so was the Com bo luc lac. The food came out so fast and was delicious. This is in a food court. Dont expect anything fancy, but everything will taste authentic and scrumptious. Some other restaurants in the food court dont take credit cards but they do.

Best Pho in the bay!!!! We've tried all pho spots in the town but this is our number 1!! The owners are so sweet and kind, friendly and just so welcoming. Thanks guys!

We love coming here on the weekends. We seem to always get there early enough that the eating area is quiet. So quiet, in fact, that the food is speaking for itself. We either get the Pho combination #1 or #2. Always with flat noodle! :) The kind woman behind the counter is so friendly and always offers us fresh hot tea. Thank you!

one of my favorite pho in San Jose. Open very early, very authentic. I also had their botchien once and it is also good.

Located inside the Lion Plaza Food Court. Customer service is super friendly! If you order to eat there, there is ample outdoor seating in the outdoor courtyard area. They give you a buzzer and it will vibrate to let you know when your order us ready to pickup We ordered the #2 (rare filet mignon) and #3 (steak) pho. They give you a small cup of tea as well-- a plus! I preferred the #2 because the meat is more tender. The soup broth was also very flavorful and fragrant. Portion sizes are good and they also give you the option to choose between thin noodles and thick noodles. I like the thin noodles (what usually comes with pho) and my husband liked the texture of the thick noodles. They also put the bean sprouts for you in the soup instead of on the side. Personally, I don't like bean sprouts and usually let my husband have them all, so I picked mine out and gave them to him :P At first we thought it didn't come with them, but we found them on the bottom of our soup. If you prefer to add in your own bean sprouts or do not like them, just make sure to ask for them on the side. And they also do give you basil, lime, jalapeño slices. Solid pho place inside the plaza with only outdoor seating right now with nice customer service. Give them a try!

Another great find tucked away inside the Lion Plaza - something again I would have never found. But then one day, a food angel came into my life and shared this little shop of heaven with me. It's the first shop to your left when you walk in. Surprisingly, a pretty large selection of different soup options and a few other entrees/appetizers, and even pandan waffles! I'm all about the #1 pho dac biet (which includes rare steak, flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe). One of the first pho places that I've been to that offers the option of pho noodles or the wide noodles (12) for the regular and a dollar more for the large. When you get your order, it's always topped with so much green onions - it's like a sea of green, so I hope you love green onions. All the condiments are next to the cash register, so after you pay, make sure you get your sauce your onions. If you want to give it a shot, the #8 sound pretty bomb with the beef rib, too. Otherwise, every experience so far, I hadn't had a bad time or found hair in my food. The family that runs the shop are super sweet and starts to recognize you by the face and know your order. I would say if you think about it, it seems pretty pricey for pho, but in hinesight, the food is about average price for inside the food court. I mean, I've had worse for more and this ranks pretty high up there. Not to mention that they're essentially opened 7 days a week and they're opened early!

Awesome place to get "banh kep." It is a Pandan waffle. Wife and I got some dry noodle. My wife beef stew. There are many other restaurants in the Lion Plaza but I always come to this waffle. Fcc c

I bet "Where is a good pho restaurant?" is a commonly asked question. It all depends on your taste bud. I like my broth beefy and have aromatic smell of all the spices. My go to place for pho is here. Its located inside the Vietnamese food court called Lion Plaza. Their broth is savory and rich, good for both cold and hot days. I usually order the filet mignon on the side and dip it into my broth to eat it with every bite. I am against putting hoisin sauce and siracha into the broth. It's as bad as pouring soy sauce onto a Chinese's dish. Don't believe me? Then go watch The Joy Luck Club movie.

So wonderful Pho I ever had in my life It's so so so good, the broth so different with all the Pho I ever ate and the meats taste very good. I really like the service is very good too, they are friendly and treated customers very good. I will introduce family and friends to know so they can enjoy this best Pho

There's several places in this plaza that does Pandan waffles but this one is solid! Crisp, mochi texture mmmmmm

This is a family favorite for delicious pho! I usually get their pho tai bo vien, which is the pho w/ steak and meatballs. Their broth is tasty and their meat isn't dry or chewy. The service is really friendly and quick. I also tried their pandan waffle, which was quite the surprise for me. Super crispy and wayy better than the ones I've had at Lion's plaza before.

We all have different taste buds I believe all their foods are perfect. These ladies use open flames cooking style which heats up food to perfect temperature and bring put the taste. So These beautiful people get 5 stars that the bottom line!

I've never enjoyed pho broth as much as I did at this place. I wouldn't say this is a little hole in the wall, but it is kind of hard to find if you've never been to the Lion plaza before. Park near lion's market, head further inside the plaza and keep walking straight until you see the food court. I got the Pho Dac Biet and my friend got the Pho Tai. I really like how they asked what noodle, thick or thin, we wanted on our pho. Very convenient. The broth was fresh and satisfying. Definitely something you'd love after a wild night out or to start your day with, or if you're sick. The meat was tender. Service was great. Be sure to tip them through their tip jar after paying for your food. It's not your traditional restaurant where you tip at the end. But tip. My new favorite pho spot back home. Will definitely be coming here often.

One star for the service. I called in my order for 3 items and the lady told me it would take 30 minutes because something that I ordered had to be fried and it would take awhile. I told her it was totally fine because I'm coming from the other side of San Jose so there would be no problem. I came 20/30 minutes and spoke to one of the Asian ladies in the back. I told her I had called and she told me I have to order again because my order didn't go through. I told her I didn't order online and that I called and spoke to an actually person. She then told me she doesn't know anything. At this moment another girl came and she said "sorry she doesn't know English" I told her "that's fine I was speaking to her in Vietnamese so it doesn't matter if she knew English or not." I told her what I told the other lady that I called in and this girl told me "Yeah I know you spoke to me on the phone.." I'm like okay.. Pretty bad interaction. I am totally fine with the whole interaction except for the part where she tried to tell me the other lady didn't speak English..because clearly I was speaking Vietnamese to her so you shouldn't be saying something to your customers until you know. I could tell the guy who was at the cashier was trying to be extra nice and possibly doing damage control. The damage has already been done sir. He was very nice and made conversation as I was waiting.. Forget the service onto the food. Their Hu Tieu Mi Kho was BOMB!!! I highly recommend that and their bot chien gion was really good too!!! They give you a lot and the sauce that comes with it is flavored very well!!! I totally recommend these two items if you do come here. Their pho was so..maybe because the hu tieu and the bot chien were so good while the pho was so so. Unfortunately, due to my encounter I will not be back here but, don't let that stop you from coming here for their food. 2 stars because Service 1 star Pho 2 stars Hu Tieu 4 stars Bot Chien 4 stars

Part of the food court with other great counter-style restaurants as well. Ordered the Pho dac biet (special), with thin noodles. There's an option for thin or thick noodles. The nice lady behind the counter also asked if I wanted nuoc beo, a fatty broth but I didn't get. The pho bowl is ready in less than 5 minutes, comes with all the standard pho fixins like sprouts/basil/peppers. The taste itself is one of the best I had in awhile. Broth seasoned well, noodles firm, and loaded with lots of beef cuts. The place has a lot of Viet customers, but don't be intimidated if you are non-Viet. The ladies here are super friendly!

Came here on the recommendation of a friend of a friend, and thank God about that recommendation since I would have never found this place! This place truly is a hidden gem. As other reviews mention, Pho Pasteur is tucked away in a plaza. And by tucked away, I mean even the plaza itself is hidden from street view. You would have to park in the strip mall area and then walk to even find the plaza. The menu is pretty limited as to be expected from a restaurant of this physical size, but what they do, they do well. I ordered a regular-sized Pho Tai Nam Chin (steak, flank, and brisket) with the thin noodles. Service was great -- the woman at the front was eager to help. Portion was larger than expected, and the front had all the mix-ins I needed (some hoisin sauce, Sriracha, and onions). The broth was great, very tasty and flavorful. The meat was rare upon serving and given just enough time to be lightly cooked in the broth, resulting in a really good eating texture. I'm a big fan of this place and definitely would come back!

The two ladies working there are always super sweet! The Mom always tries to greet us in English and she's soo cute. Love the pho here. I think we drop by after work once a week or every 2 weeks.

I was craving soup. I had a DoorDash credit, so the roommate and I decided to order lunch from Pho Pasteur on Sunday, March 19th. I placed the order at 12:31pm and it arrived at 1:20pm. The roommate's place is in Evergreen. 1. Pho Dac Biet: eye of round steak, well done flank, brisket, tendon, tripe, Skinny rice noodles ($10) 15. Bun Rieu Cua Dong: crab paste tomatoes soup with rice vermicelli and tofu ($10) I got the bun rieu. It was actually a good size and they provided a good amount of bean sprouts, mint, etc. I do wish they gave us more hot sauce and hoisin as the roommate needed more hoisin for his bowl. I wanted sambal, but we only had sriracha at his house, so I made due. The soup was flavorful and they provided the shrimp paste I asked for. The roommate's pho seemed small for a #1, but we were going out to dinner in about 3.5 hours, so he wasn't looking to eat much for lunch anyways. Good place for pho delivery. They aren't many options for delivery in SJ, so I'm glad I got to try Pho Pasteur through DoorDash.

Pho pasteur is the place to be. It's a hidden gem in san jose with delicious, authentic pho. I always order the pho filet dap, gau, bo vien banh tuoi-- or tenderized filet mignon, fatty brisket, and meat ball pho with wide noodles. The quality of the meat is what elevates a pho bowl. The specific cuts and tenderized meat (aka beat with a mallet or something) makes all the difference. Highly recommend the above combo, you wont regret it!

Wonton noodle soup is terrible. The worse I ever ate. And expensive too. $17 for this wonton. Although there was few more.

I have always been a fan of supporting these smaller local businesses. I like pho here simply because it has that homemade pho taste. Added the beef bone which isn't necessary but it changes the pho eating experience .

Came here for the first time with my boss who loves this place for some pho. We both had the pho dac biet with tai dap. We also had some nuoc beo and tiet hot ga. Noodles were cooked well, meat was alright, and the soup was pretty good (albeit not very hot). The nuoc beo really helped the soup. My boss said it wasn't as beefy as it usually is today. Service was pretty friendly for a food court place. What I really liked was the tiet hot ga which is soup with congealed blood and egg yolk. Really rich and flavorful. It was a nice brunch, definitely high on the list for pho places in San Jose.

One of my favorite pho restaurants! I grew up eating pho bo vien, so I've become particularly picky about restaurant-made pho. My go-to order is the pho bo vien with pandan waffles! The flat noodles are chewy and delicious, and the broth is to die for. I can drink the broth itself! The bo vien is also really good; they're soft (but not too soft that it isn't chewy) and full of flavor. The pandan waffles are always made perfectly with the perfect amount of crunch and softness. During COVID, they offer delivery and they seal up all the soups and noodles very carefully! I haven't had a single order get messed up or have any spillage out of the many times I've gotten delivery. If you're looking for a pho place for your cravings or the morning after cures, I definitely recommend ordering from here.

I got the bun rieu here while my husband got pho with the fatty broth. The fatty broth was really good and unlike any other pho broth I've had before! My husband liked his pho but I didn't like my bun rieu. There was hardly any crab in there. There was probably just a small spoon of it and the tomato broth had one little piece of canned tomato in there. The tomato was definitely not fresh because all you can taste is brine, as if it was sitting in a can of salted water. I would not order the bun rieu from here again but maybe I will try a pho with the fatty broth. If you want a bun rieu, try going to Hue, they give you sooooo much crab paste.

I have been going to this pho place since I found it on Yelp about 3 months ago. I always get the #5 but I will try others next time. The girl behind the counter now remembers me and my order which is cool. The broth, noodles and meat was excellent. So I decide to bring my visiting brother and sister-in-law (I think she grew up in Ohio) from Los Angeles. The first thing she said was that the broth tasted fresh and proceeded to finish the whole thing. Yes it is in a hole in the wall location but isn't it where one finds the best food? So try it!
