Been here a few times and it is now my favourite Viet place. It’s cash only and a few dollars pricier than other phở places. They do give u more meat and noodles than other places and the flavour is on point! Their satay is phenomenal. One star off for cleanliness tho cause the utensils always felt oily.

Need 24-hour phở? Have 24 hr phở. That’s all that needs to be said. If you need more of a review, there are plenty here, but this place has average food at an average price with outstanding hours.

Pretty good phở and stew. Not always the cleanest and the service can be a little slow sometimes but overall the food is pretty darn tasty. Lots of options, try the stews!

My friend and I were in the area and are huge phở fanatics. We heard good things about Phở Pasteur so we were excited to give it a try. Perhaps our expectations were too high or they were just having an off night but the entire overall experience wasn’t a good one. The staff was really rude/indifferent to us. The food took a very long time to be served and I can honestly say it was the least impressive phở I’ve ever had. Very bland and overdone. We ordered a side of spring rolls and they too were very unappetizing. The food was overpriced for phở in general but also for the quality and there were flies in the establishment. They didn’t accept credit or debit so we had to go down the street to an atm machine. The only perk for this place is that it’s 24 hours, but even that won’t persuade me in returning here.

Not that consistent it depends what time you go and the cook’s mood. If you are some neat freak this place is not for you! There is time I go there and very impressed with the dishes. I like the signature phở, the broth is solid and also they are very generous with the meat. The best part is the thinly sliced habanero pepper in macerated in the white vinegar. It is so fruity and elevates the dish big time, super refreshing. The spring roll is big portion great appetizer for two. I found there are a few times I went late at night the quality of the food is not as good. But opening 24 hours is a big commitment. I would rather go in earlier when the cook is happier food taste a lot better. I recommend the phở; spring rolls and goat curry.

This 24 hours restaurant is one of the best phở i found in downtown for late night. I mostly get beef phở and although not amazing, it is good enough for post-drinking food. Their service is pretty decent considering how understaffed they are. Although servers are a bit too slow, but they are always nice If you haven’t tried yet, I would also recommend their spring rolls. These are not the typical skinny spring rolls you find in many restaurants. Instead, they are very thick and have lots of ingredients. Like many places in Chinatown, this restaurant do not accept cards, so make sure you bring enough cash.

Not the best phở place in Toronto but it opens 24 hours which is amazing Their Phở is standard MSG filled broth. Their Bun rieu is pretty decent. The spring rolls here are huge. The menu is also huge here, you can get all kinds of dishes. Their Avocado milk shake is very good too

Just landed in Toronto and friend recommended we eat here(since I’m Asian I guess?). The place was packed which is always a good sign. The downside was that it took forever for the food to get out since, as the server kept mentioning, they only had one cook in the back while the place was packed. We had to wait quite a bit for our food to come out but it wasn’t really that big of an issue. Ordered their Durian shake which was awesome. I can tell it wasn’t that powdered one that they mix with water or whatever. This tasted like it was made fresh from the actual fruit. Their eggrolls weren’t anything to write home about. Not a big fan of it to be honest. Ordered their number 69 which was some kind of mixed meat rice plate. Had baked shrimp, some sort of egg monstrosity and a porkchop. Overall it wasn’t that bad but as with all the other stuff I go(besides the shake), it was average.

3am. It’s late, and you’ve stumbled into Chinatown. If you can’t make it a block further north, this is probably the ONLY time you should come here. Just to give it a fair shot, I came here a few weeks ago on a regular Thursday night. I felt bad because a buddy had passionately defended the place so much the night before. Phở was mediocre at best. I ordered the Dac Biet Special. Too much noodle to broth ratio, and the meat was fatty. I actually didn’t even finish the bowl! Also ordered some spring rolls. They were decent, but still very greasy. I do like the fact that they use taro in the filling. Still, I would say these were average, but for the price?! $ 9.00 is extortion! True to my original conclusion, you have to be half in the bag to make it through the meal. It’s still okay to turn back, you’ve probably made enough bad decisions for one night!

Best phở I ever had in the city! I have no idea how I missed this place. It is my #1. I can’t wait to go again.

Phở Pasteur 巴斯德牛肉粉 is arguably one of the best phở in the GTA — I’m not kidding. They have the best crispy spring rolls(Ch giò) in town, and you have to order this without fail. It is not your typical spring roll, it is larger than normal, and the customary tradition would be to wrap a spring roll in lettuce with basil, vegetables and dip this in fish sauce — delicious! We also ordered a large portion of grilled pork chop(Com Suon Hot Ga) that is served with a sunny-side up egg and of course delicious Vietnamese condiments like shredded vegetables with fish sauce. One of the unique noodle dishes would be the Hue-style Beef Vermicelli Soup which is bursting with flavours and spicy enough to bring on a manly sweat. Ending of on a sweeter note, we ordered a traditional Vietnamese iced coffee(cà phê sa đá), which is the perfect drink after such a feast.

There was a worker with a insect spray can spraying the front door. Get inside the restaurant at around 11pm and theres quite a few people eating. And there’s like a bunch of flies flying around. But the phở is really tasty, the broth is legit. 24 hours is a nice gimmick. I wouldn’t come back unless they get rid of the flies tho.

I’m basing my review on the phở I received. The phở actually had flavour which I did not expect from a 24 hour restaurant. The portions was fitting to the price. BUT@@@ The rice here is terrible. It’s honestly something I could have done at home & been better. The beef in the beef & rice combo does not look like beef. It looks like dried pork??? The restaurant is relatively clean and bright. *Sidenote: The guy who manages the place does seem to get confused as he delivered the wrong items to our table twice that was meant for another table.

The only things Phở Pasteur has going for them is the fact that they are open 24⁄7 and they have fast service. Other than that the quality of the phở is actually pretty poor. I ordered the raw beef and tendon phở and received 1) really tough pieces of beef, 2) minuscule amounts of tendon and 3) undercooked noodles. I think we deserve higher quality ingredients for our beloved comfort food. That being said the above points might not be relevant for someone who is intoxicated enough and need some warm noodles in their belly at 3am.

Great cheap convenient and various sizes of phở– you can get a small medium OR large— small is enough! Generous with sprouts, basil, fixings etc Fast and hits the spot every time Was good 10 years ago and still is Delicious!

They’re open 24⁄7 so it was convenient to grab a bite early in the morning before we flew out. Serve time is quick. My beef stew was ok however, I preferred it w/ho fun and had asked if I can substitute if it came w/rice noodles instead. She said yes but my order came out to be rice noodles anyways. Not a big deal but still. Hubs ordered a Phở Dac Biet. Came w/all sorts of things, even plastic. Yes, a piece of plastic was found in his bowl halfway through. Not too happy about that and he stopped munching. Didn’t have CAD so they were willing to take USD but at a 1:1 rate which made our meal a bit pricey.

I used to frequent here when I lived in Chinatown. Their price point seems to be higher for a Vietnamese restaurant but the portion is quite generous, both in quantity of meat and bean sprout. I like their phở more than other spots in Chinatown but the broth tends to be on salty side. Bun bo hue taste good as well and the spicy level is hot enough, but the broth isn’t as flavourful as Phở Linh. They also serve large selection of menu, and their spring roll is HUGE but quite delicious. One of my favourite item is their curry goat with bun, so yummy and tasty. Service wise is similar to other Vietnamese restaurant. Overall a good place to grab Vietnamese bite. Not the best in term of phở or bun bo hue but good enough to worth visit in Chinatown. 3.5÷5

Food was ok, nothing special. The smell was horrible though. There was a garbage smell coming from the kitchen! Not even from the bathroom. The bathroom surprisingly smelled fine. But the restaurant smelled horrible instead of smelling like food or broth.

Still decent broth, but the prices have definitely gone up. Over $ 7.00 for an order of spring rolls is insane. Just a tip: they’re pretty greasy, anyway. The phở remains large with lots if accompanying sprouts and basil, but there were only a few small bits of tendon in my soup. There used to be a lot more.

L’avantage de vivre au Canada c’est l’ouverture H24 de certains restaurants. Le Phô Pasteur en fait partie. A la recherché d’un lieu pour manger après 22h et pas envie de l’éternel Hot Dog? Allez faire un tour dans ce resto où vous pourrez déguster votre bol de Phô pour environ 8 $ avec un service rapide et souriant.

This is really a 3.5 star rating. They are open 24-hours and give you lot a generous portion of everything if you get the beef soup house special. The broth taste clean and was nicely seasoned. You can tell this place knows phở because as part of the condiments plate regulars such as bean sprouts, lime, chili peppers, and thai basil, they also provide culantro. Culantro is similar to cilantro and does get mistaken for it because they look similar. Culantro helps to balance out the flavours of the phở by add a bit of fresh raw bitterness to soup. I will definitely add this place to my list of late-night go-to eats.
