Pho Pasteur
On Friday before heading out to see Darkbuster play at O’Briens, PK and I decided to go for a quick/cheap dinner at Pho Pasteur. We started off with an order of Goi Cuon Dau Hu (Vegetarian Fresh Rolls). I had a small Dac Biet pho ($4.75; beef noodle soup with rare steak, well done brisket, beef flank, tendon, and tripe) which, as always, was great. I am not a fan of tripe so this was the only part of my meal that was left in the bowl. PK had a Bun Tom Thit ($5.75; vermicelli with grilled shrimp and pork) which was also delicious.
Verdict: Pho Pasteur is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area. For some reason, I like their locations in Allston and Chinatown better than their other restaurants. Also, their Nuoc Cham sauce is the best in the area. Too many places make it too sweet for my liking. However, many people tell me that I need to try Pho 2000 in Dorchester, which I will do soon…
Bro,
I love your site – just found it through Chowhound. I was the guy with the Gardner Cafe comments. I wish I had the time / brilliance to do something like this. Well done. I also like your taste in music. “Megusta punk rock”

Heh, don’t give him a swelled head!

Oh yeah, I was only kidding about the secret…..we should give those people their props.
Not a bad place. They did my friend peanuts on his app, even after he he told them when ordering that he is allergic. The waiter actually asked why my friend couldn’t just brush them off the food.
EVH – Thanks for the compliments and glad that you like the site… I am looking forward to trying the Gardner for lunch, but I have to wait for a day when both PK and I can escape from work for at least an hour…
I’ll put a plug in for the Cambridge Pho Pasteur. If you sit at the bar, for some reason, your order comes out really quickly. Once I ordered a small bowl of pho ($5.50…more than enough for me) and I swear it was in front of me in under a minute. I was shocked.
