There is a lot to like about this place and I will definitely return. I like straightforward steak pho like you get at places like iPho, and they have that covered here just fine. But their banh mi is where they hang their hat, and I get that. I've had the Banh Mi Bo Nuong with pork, and I loved that pork in there, very nicely cooked. I think I'll get that again for sure. We also tried their "Vietnamese Roll Roll" which is, I kid you not, a full fried egg roll INSIDE an oversized cold spring roll! And it works! I would get that again! But like, definitely split it with at least one person as an appetizer. I've also gotten smoothies both times, and I REALLY liked the taro one. The manager that has been here for both of my visits is so nice, you will definitely love her if you chat with her. And she's really honest about her menu, she will tell you if something isn't as good or popular as something else. Specifically, if you get a smoothie you should ask for her recommendation about adding boba bits. But don't get me wrong, she is very proud of their food. This is a really cute, homey neighborhood Vietnamese place that I look forward to visiting with some regularity. read more

Food: Strawberry Smoothies with tapioca was amazing, special fried rice was good but a bit dry, spring rolls were good, oxtail pho was amazing. Service: Very lovely people. Price: Rather expensive to get the full experience, but worth it. Ambiance: A tad loud but not overly so. read more

Finding a good pho spot in the Twin Cities is always a win, and this one did not disappoint! I was so impressed that they open super early, and the space is really big, which is a nice bonus. The pho broth had a great balance of beefy and herby flavors--exactly how I like it. The portion size was perfect, and the Vietnamese coffee was a total hit! It was strong and sweet, just the way it should be. read more

Saw this place online and really wanted to try the egg rolls cause I never seen any like that. They have a small parking lot on the side of the building. I got there about an hour before close and the staff was still very friendly and accommodating. Average asian restaurant inside, nothing too crazy. Felt like a cozy family owned spot. I sat down, ordered a few things. It all came out as prepared and was very hot! I love when restaurants do this but I usually have to ask. I cant stress enough how nice these people were, I was shown how they like to eat the egg rolls. Wasn't many people in there but they made sure I was taken care of. Egg rolls were super good and filling, the wings were pretty good and the shrimp were the basic ones you usually get. Still such a great experience and I will be going back to try the pho, I just wasn't craving it that night. read more

Great Vietnamese food here at Pho Pasteur! The pho was delicious, I devoured the whole bowl in a heartbeat. They have a wide selection of meals and drinks to wash the whole thing down with. The dining room is large and can accommodate many people. The wait staff was kind and very helpful. I look forward to having another bowl of Pho again there soon! read more

Came to Pho Pasteur to meet up with a new friend and this place did not disappoint! Their pho broth is INSANELY flavorful like it didn't even need the extra stuff like the sriracha, soy sauce, hoisin. I added it because PHO but everything was so flavorful. I got the Pho Tai and we also shared some spring rolls which were so good! I would absolutely come back to Pho Pasteur, it reminded me so much of the amazing Pho restaurants I used to frequent in San Diego. read more

Been on a journey to find the best pho and banh mi spot in the twin cities - so far pho pasteur is the top contender!!! Not only was there a dedicated parking lot, the restaurant was spacious with so many food options to select from! Definitely had to try the pho as well as their banh mi and it did not disappoint! The banh mi was so FRESH and tasty! Pho broth was absolute perfection (especially for a cold day) but my only criticism is that there was not a lot of meat compared to other pho spots :'( Aside from that, the prices for the portion size was pretty reasonable! Needless to say, we'll be back! read more

Authentic, Fresh, and Comforting - A Rice-Based Haven in St. Paul We had a fantastic meal at Pho Pasteur in St. Paul, and I'm already looking forward to going back. As someone who grew up loving Malaysian food, Vietnamese cuisine hits all the right notes for me; rice-based, freshly cooked, light yet flavorful, and packed with vibrant herbs, textures, and balance. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything came out beautifully: 1. Chè Ba Màu (Vietnamese 3-color dessert or similar) - Shaved ice, mung bean, and sweet syrup layered over a soft base. Cold, sweet, and refreshing. The perfect way to end the meal. 2. Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò - Vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and crispy egg rolls. The pork was charred just right, well-marinated, and full of flavor. Loved the crunch of the crushed peanuts and the cool freshness of the lettuce and herbs. 3. Cơm Tấm Sườn Nướng (Broken Rice Plate with Pork Chop) - A beautiful plate with a grilled pork chop, shredded pork skin, steamed egg custard, fried egg, and broken rice, all tied together with a side of fish sauce. The rice was fluffy, and that green scallion oil on top? Magic. The food came out hot and fast, and the atmosphere was low-key and welcoming. It felt like a home-cooked meal, which is warm, balanced, and made with care. If you're a fan of Southeast Asian flavors, especially Malaysian or Thai, Vietnamese food offers that same soulful, balanced experience with its own unique twist; Pho Pasteur delivers that beautifully. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the Twin Cities and craving something deeply satisfying yet clean and fresh. read more

My husband and I are Phi connoisseurs (or so we like to think). We have tried MANY Pho's across the places we have lived and we can say confidently this is in our top 3. The location is a good size so you shouldnt struggle for a table. They have some limited parking which is useful. The fresh spring rolls were good too. Definitely putting this one on our Pho rotation! read more

my go to pho shop, always fresh, always delicious. it's a must stop for my out of town friends and family.

I am in love with the Thai tea here. It is thick and creamy. I love the taste of it. I love how creamy it was. You can honestly add ice cream and it still taste yummy. The spicy chicken wings wasnt spicy. It just had herb/ pepper flakes to it. Nothing special about it. The pho was good, not too beefy, but it could be better. The bun bu hue was very shrimp paste based. It was good for the first few bites, but the shrimp paste gets stronger. The service was ok, i was super thirsty, they didnt serve water very often. The atmosphere was light, there were some people there. No music though; but it was oka. Would definitely go for the thai tea again! read more

Amazing food. I want to give a fifth star but can not with the environmental impact of to go. But horrified to see styrofoam in use for take-out. No one has used styrofoam in a decade. It is made out of petroleum. It is (factually) poisonous. It takes forever to biodegrade. It is ancient history. Please change to paper take-out containers. There are a number of options these days. There is another kind made of corn starch that is almost like plastic in feel, but it is corn. Thank you very much. read more

Decided to check out this place out for their pho because they're open a little later than most places that serves pho in the Twin Cities (most pho places close at 8pm). Got here around 7pm, plenty of parking and overall the place is spacious. My friend and ordered pho #48 each, a strawberry bubble tea, and fried dumplings to share. Although the pho looked great and I really liked the tendons in the pho- I felt the broth was watery- I ended up adding a lot of fish sauce and other condiments to make up for it. As for the dumplings- I think they're packaged frozen dumplings, I don't mind frozen but I did wish they would be made in house. The bubble tea was very good and perfect- milky and blended nicely. Overall service was okay- after ordering our waiter only came once to refill water which I'm cool with. I did like how they didn't come by often. Even so it was a bit pricey and I felt the food felt short, I would still come back to try their banhmi and other dishes though because it definitely gives me a good mom & pop type of feel and I love that the most about local restaurants. read more

i'm kind of surprised how i've never been here before the spring roll-egg roll combo is a game changer! usually i'd have fried egg rolls with the egg rolls wrapped inside, but the whole egg roll?! i'm all for it pho was very good in taste, it's a bit over powering with the onions but i'd just ask for it on the side or none next time! very spacious location with limited parking read more

I LOVE the banh mi from Pho Pasteur; it's one of my favorites in the Cities. My husband & I walk over for lunch & grab sandwiches to go: --Banh Mi Tofu: French bread with fried tofu & vegetables --Banh Mi Thit: French bread with pork & vegetables The sauce coating the fried tofu is 10/10; add mayo & pickled veggies & I'm THERE! My husband gets the pork version, which he also agrees is super tasty. We do have a couple of complaints, though: --The meat sandwiches are always sitting on the counter in a room temperature plastic box. They make the tofu sandwich fresh, but it does seem like there could be some health issues with the sandwiches being stored at room temp. --The cilantro includes the whole stem. It's a minor complaint, but it's annoying to have the entire stem pull out when you take a bite. --The woman who's usually at the counter is often short & pushy in her responses (i.e., "What do you want? Hello? Hello?"); that's a bit of a turn-off. I've gotten the Vietnamese coffee here a couple of times & it's really good; the coffee is bold & tasty, with the right amount of sweetness. We came here for dinner one or two times & ate in, trying some of the noodle dishes & pho. They were okay! Definitely not the best I've had, but decent. With everything said, I still would give this place a 4/5 purely because I love their tofu banh mi & Vietnamese coffee so much. In all, I'd recommend ordering banh mi for takeout :) read more

I've been here a couple of times before and I'm always impressed. Their service is fast for how busy they always are. Every time I go, they're always packed but it's makes sense due to how good the food is. People go for their Pho but I'm not much of a Pho person. I ordered their cream cheese wontons and was not disappointed. They came out so warm and crunchy with a side of sweet sauce that goes well with the wontons. I ordered the chicken pad thai and the flavors were definitely noticeable. It isn't the best but it's pretty darn good. They do not skimp on their meat, the chicken slices there long, tender and well cooked. The noodles were well seasoned but a little too sticky for my liking, although I would order it again. read more

OVERVIEW: Pho Pasteur has some of the best pho in the twin cities. It's like a little hole in the wall that packs a huge punch. Prices are reasonable and everything is so flavorful. The service is super quick. We ordered take out this time, and they had everything ready within 15 minutes to pick up. It's never too busy inside, and there isn't any crazy decorations. LOCATION: located right off of the busy street of Snelling it's nice because they have a small parking lot. Inside there's booths or tables you can sit at if you are eating in. FOOD: We ordered the number 44 pho which has a ton of flavor and freshness to it. Broth was super hot even to go, so it was perfect right when we got home. Their original bahn mi is very fresh and has really good flavor. Fried rice was good, especially if you have a picky eater in your group, but needed to add a little soy sauce. read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. Pho is fantastic. Everything I have had there is very good. Friendly staff.

I have been to Pho Pasteur VN a few times, and I always say I wish this restaurant was open back when I went to Hamline. It's a short walk for college students down the street, and I know I would have been a regular customer here back in the day. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, search no further. Pho Pasteur has everything from banh mi to vermicelli noodle salad to different types of soup (yes, not just pho y'all). I really enjoy their banh mi here. The first time I had one, I was so surprised at how massive they are. The loaf is a big boy, and it comes with Vietnamese mayo, pate, and fresh pickled veggies. I think they have one of the best and most underrated banh mi in the Twin Cities. I also like their Vietnamese iced coffee here. Strong and delicious. It's been pretty busy each time I've visited Pho Pasteur, but the owner here is so sweet. I have seen her visiting with customers dining in, and it seems like she has many patrons that come back time and time again. They seem to know her, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the food. If you're getting takeout, be patient as there is sometimes a line. They're generally quick about getting you your order, but it's a small family business, so they only have a couple of people working here. Next time I'm out in St. Paul, I plan to try one of their Vietnamese soups and a smoothie. There's a small parking lot to the right of the restaurant or street-parking in surrounding neighborhoods. read more

If words were capable for describing my love for this place, I would need a book longer than the Bible to accurately capture the how delicious this photo place. I've never physically been to Vietnam but the X-Large #48 spiritually teleports me to those lovely beaches in Vietnam. Something about the way broth soothes me and releases me from the everyday stresses of life. Something about the way the noodles remind me about the joys of life... If I had one wish, it would be to thank the owner for opening this place. Thank you for blessing Saint Paul with your amazing business. Thank you for making Pho that reminds me about the joys of living. Thank you. WHOEVER YOU ARE THANK YOU !!!! read more

It can sometimes be difficult to find mock duck in Asian restaurants, especially prepared well, but I am always satisfied with the mock duck lo mien here.

Me and my friend visited Pho Pasteur on a Sunday mid-afternoon. We quickly found a seat as there was plenty of seating and only a handful of other customers. They have their own parking lot on the side of the building which I always appreciate. The ambiance of this place is plain and simple but who cares when the food is AMAZING! The service was good, we got seated quickly, ordered in a reasonable amount of time and got our food very quick. We got lots of food! My friend ordered the pho and the cream cheese wontons and I ordered the Banh Mi and the chicken spring rolls. Everything was very reasonably priced. The most expensive thing we ordered was the pho and it was $12.50. My friend really enjoyed the pho and it had a really great unique flavor. We split the cream cheese wontons and the spring rolls. I personally love both of these dishes. They were both good but could've use a little something. However, I thought the sauce each dish came with was superb. I have loved Banh Mi for a long time so maybe I am a little biased about this type of meal. Overall, the sandwich was good! However, if you have issues with meat this dish is not for you. This restaurant is great. If you want something other than the basic Minnesota hamburgers or Italian food please try this place. read more

Consider this your warning: DO NOT COME HERE. Regretted this choice completely. 100% would NOT recommend. This place was not great...I expected better given the reviews and pictures but I'm glad there are more critical reviews out there like mine...My sister and I got the veggie pho, veggie eggrolls, and the pork vermicelli bowl between the two of us. The veggie eggrolls were giant but SO greasy that I couldn't even eat half of one. I felt so gross after eating just half too since it was DRIPPING OIL. Not executed right. My pho had a decent flavor but I've had 10x better broth...the veggies in it were a little too much and random. Carrots in pho? No thanks. My sister's pork was also dyed with red so that was a turn off for her. Overall, I REGRET coming here and spending money on this overpriced and very sub-par Vietnamese. read more

I loved everything I ordered here! I had pho tai, cream cheese wontons, and egg rolls. The pho tai was amazing! The ingredients were all crisp and fresh, and the broth was flavorful. The cream cheese wontons were a perfect portion size and the duck sauce was good, too. The egg rolls were huge! Overall, great pho and I'd definitely be back both for pho and to try new menu items! There is a small parking lot, and street parking was also easy. It's a large restaurant but there were plenty of staff when we came for lunch on a Saturday. I would love to try their banh mi next time. The bread smelled heavenly! read more

I was looking forward to trying this new pho restaurant in St Paul and was unfortunately not as satisfied when we left. My sister and I arrived at an awkward time, in-between lunch and dinner so the place was pretty empty. I ordered the pork vermecelli with eggroll and my sister, the veggie pho. My vermecelli was okay, I've had better a other Vietnamese restaurants in MN. The egg roll was pretty oily but it was crispy so that was nice! The pork I could tell had red food coloring on it and was a little chewy. The veggies they had seem to come straight from a spring mix salad bag, which was interesting because never really seen that before. Service was good, however, not great despite the empty restaurant. We asked for extra cilantro for the pho and the waiter came back 5 mins later.. pretty sure he forgot about us. Overall, I probably would not be coming back. read more

It's ok. Saw a list that mentioned this place as having awesome egg rolls. I disagree. Nothing wrong with them but much better out there at Que Viet or Pho Tempo. The pho was ok. Noodles were extremely soft but broth was not very warm. Banh Mi was mostly bun and could have used more meat and/or veggies. read more
