To me, pho is all about the soup base. Here, the soup base is full bodied and flavorful. Also the noodles are not precooked stuck together at the bottom like some places.

I rarely resort to leaving a negative review, but today my mom, son and I went to Pho Pasteur, where we've been lots of times before. I ordered Bun with tofu, not for the first time, but I took literally one bite and it tasted rancid, like literally rancid oil. The sauce, which is normally clear, had a brown cast and it was separated, with a layer of shiny grease on the surface that I'd never seen before. I told the always-rude waitress (who I'd rather not ever have to interact with, honestly) that I couldn't eat my food because it tasted very off, not like it usually does. I ordered a banh mi, since my mom was having one and it seemed fine. Rude Waitress offered me a to-go box, which I declined...and asked why would I want to take home inedible food? And she said, "Well it's not our fault you don't like it." And I said that I wasn't sending it back because I "didn't like it", I was sending it back because it tasted like it was spoiled. She shrugged (!) and asked if I still wanted the sandwich and I said no, not if she wasn't going to take the Bun off of my bill??? She picked it up and walked away without a word. I didn't have the budget to add another thing to my bill. So I watched my family eat dinner. When I went to pay my $50+ check, I left the tip line blank. She literally looked down at it and said, "excuse me?" I said, quite softly because I could hardly believe what had just happened, "Actually no, I won't. Not today." And we just left. As an added kick, I've had an off stomach all day, and my son, who got the combo pho he also always gets, thought his ingredients (like the tendon and tripe, normally his favorite) tasted odd by the middle of his bowl and has been very ill this evening. I want to let my fellow diners know that this place has gone noticeably downhill and today was the straw. There are too many great pho places in Richardson to put up with rude service and dodgy ingredients, where they are way friendlier and don't give you intestinal distress as a bonus! Hope maybe I spare someone a really bad experience. It's so insanely expensive to dine out these days!

Was craving bun bo hue and decided to order out. Not sure about the ambiance of the restaurant but if the food is great to go (door dash) I bet its even better dine in. Food was still nice and hit when in arrived. Ordered - bun bo hue - pho ga (chicken) - pho dac biet - egg rolls Everything was packaged well and they don't skimp on meat! They also provide lots of bean sprouts and herbs! Bun Bo Hue satisfied the craving! One of the few places that actually provides the pig feet/ham hock and congealed pig blood. All of the broths were good. Made mini bowls for the toddlers and they ate the pho right up! Would 100% order again

The food tasted good and service was fast. Unfortunately the overall experience was not great. The entire time we were there, someone chose to sit in the table next to us and sort cutlery by throwing it into plastic pails, loudly. There were only a couple other tables in use, so they could have chosen to seat anywhere but they sat next to us, making conversation (CLANG) very (CLANG) annoying (CLANG) and I almost felt (CLANG) it was on purpose because (CLANG) I complained (CLANG) about the iced tea...which was the worst iced tea I've ever tasted. Seriously, it was like old dish water. Simply awful iced tea. Maybe I'll try them again in the future, but I didn't really feel like they wanted my business.

This POS. I ordered food for pick up. Came in and paid in cash. He doesn't give me change and says order over there and points to that direction where food is, and says anything wrong? I said yes give me change. Then I ask what is his name he said I don't wanna give to you. Useless trash posing in service industry. I've been customer at this restaurant for 3 years. Hope owner gets this.

Service is sub par at best. The vermicelli noodles were mushy. The waitress gave us a look for requesting two peanut sauces for the spring rolls. Later she came around to offer water by just reaching to grab the glass. I let her know I was too cold to take more ice in my water and she answered “ok” and walked away instead of just getting water no ice. Not returning.

My favorite pho restaurant in the area, I’d consider myself a connoisseur and this place is amazing alway … 4th time here this
This was my first pho experience and I am very open to new things. But, this was mediocre at best. The meat wasn't cooked enough for me and the broth was rather bland. The eggrolls were ok, but greasy. I wasnt awful, but just ok.
