Came around dinner time and there were no tables inside so we had to wait for a table. We stood for around 5 minutes before we got a table. The restaurant is small so I could see why it took a while to be seated. However, since the store is small, we ended up getting a table right by their side entrance door so we felt cold wind every time someone entered or exited. This made our dining experience not as enjoyable since it was a pretty chilly night so the wind was cold and interrupted the meal.We ordered the Filet Mignon Pho (15.5) and Shabu Shabu Style Beef Pho (15.5). They were served pretty fast which was good. The noodles and soup were alright, nothing super special from other pho places I have been too. The beef quality for both pho noodles we got were pretty good though. The meat wasn't tough to chew and was easy to bite and swallow. The shabu shabu style beef was nice and unique as well. It made the pho experience different than others. The portions are very generous though for the price. I could have shared it with another person because there was a lot of noodles.Overall, the pho here is pretty average and the only unqiue thing is their shabu shabu style pho option. Their service is also just normal, you have to go to the cashier to pay for your table at the end of the meal. I would recommend just coming here for a try.

Came here on a busy Friday night, so there was a fair amount of waiting to get seated. Once seated you’re greeted with smiles and large menu with a ton of options to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. I came for the pho and I truly enjoyed it! It wasn’t something I’ll drive miles for, but if you’re around, it’s not a bad option.

So far it is the best pho I have had since my Los Angeles living days in 2011. I wasn't really expecting the food to taste as good ???

I recently discovered this pho place over the summer, and it totally blew me away. I used to go to Pho Pasteur on Valley Blvd. in Rosemead, which is also good, but Pho Saigon Pasteur overtook it as my favorite pho place. It looks better, the pho broth is tastier, and the beef balls are bigger. You get more food and it's a buck or two cheaper than Pho Pasteur. The family that owns the place is also super nice. Can't go wrong!

They offer seating indoors and outdoors. Perfect place for lunch and dinner.I recommend any or their soups as the broth is tasty and aromatic! The oxtail is delicious! We also got the vermicelli noodles which was refreshing. Order inside and they bring the food to your table. If you site outdoors, you can order a warm cup of tea or coffee. Perfect to hang out with friends and eat.

Probably my top vote for the best pho in the neighborhood. Inside is clean and somewhat new looking. It also seems to be a family run business and the staff is doing their best to accommodate the high turnover of customers. Pho is solid- no weird tasting broth, good richness in flavor.

This place is our favorite pho restaurant.We always order the sizzling steak with baguette and the fillet mignon pho.I love that they give us a separate soup on the side to cook the beef so you're not eating all the gross blood and fat from the beef like other pho places.I also bring Molly (my dog) here and we sit outside, and the owners are always so nice to Molly.Another good thing is they are a family owned restaurant. So the kids and the whole family works here.I love supporting small family owned businesses! Also, their Thai tea is bomb too

:: Food ::There's a YouTuber that I follow, who vlogs about eating in Vietnam, and there was a specific dish that he tried that made me crave it even though I haven't tried it. It was the Banh Mi Bo Ne and I saw that Pho Saigon Pasteur had something similar. It was seriously so good, I don't know exactly what was in the sauce but it was kinda addicting and paired so well with the baguette, filet mignon, and egg. :: Service :: Service was good. The restaurant was clean and there was outdoor seating available. :: Parking ::There's street parking or there is a parking garage once you turn the corner from Main Street. :: Restroom ::There is a restroom.

Hey, What a great find! It was lunch time during the week and I was pleased to find that they were quite busy, which tells me the food will be fresh, and it was. It's a cute 12-14 tables and a few outside, it is nicely decorated and you can tell they spent a pretty penny on renovation. I think it was the owner that seated us, very sweet lady. We ordered:Pho with Filet mignon- the soup was fantastic, very rich and flavorful, I can tell it was brewed all day. The meat was melt in your mouth silky. It was a bit on the small side, but you can order extra noodles on the side. I love the fact that you can ask for more onions if you'd like and they have this marrow oil you can add to the broth to make it more unctuous. Vermicelli with grilled pork and egg roll salad- the grilled pork was the very essence of grilled on an open fire. This dish only came with one egg roll but it was a good one. I can taste all the great complex spices of a Vietnamese egg roll. They do use the Chinese egg roll paper, I prefer the rice paper, nevertheless it was good. Over all, I thought it was very yummy, but I must say, it is a bit pricey. They charge $8.99 for 4 egg rolls, that's more than $2 per egg roll guys...that's a lot, and they're kinda small.

If you are looking for a pho place in the Alhambra area, I definitely would recommend giving this place a try. There is a lot of options to choose from the menu depending on what you're craving. Upon walking in the lady at the front greeted me and was able to sit down right away. I ordered the pho tai, which is a staple for me when trying out new pho restaurants. I've got to say, the broth here is so flavorful compared to other pho places out there. It was definitely the perfect meal to have in the winter season. The pho was perfectly cooked and the meat was tender as well. The restaurant had a comfortable vibe to it where you can eat peacefully. I definitely would be coming back in the future.

Think I found my new favorite pho place in the area! Pho Saigon Pasteur is a great restaurant with seating options indoors and out. Friendly staff, popular location with a bit of a wait at peak hours but well worth it. Quick service. The spring rolls were refreshing and the peanut sauce was very tasty. The pho had a rich, hearty broth with well cooked noodles and tender meat. Highly recommend!

There’s limited seating inside the restaurant and it was relatively busy on a Saturday night. As soon as they saw us, we were acknowledged immediately by the staff and were asked if dining outside was ok. We decided to eat outside since we were really hungry. Service was so quick. They took our order and our food came out within 10-15 minutes.Despite it being a little chilly outside, the hot pho warmed my soul. The pho dac biet was absolutely delicious, I scarfed the whole meal down.Parking: There’s street parking available and a free parking structure behind the restaurant. It’s pretty easy to find parking.
