Pho Pasteur Restaurant

Pho Pasteur is a Vietnamese restaurant in Boston’s Chinatown that opened in 1991 and describes itself as the city’s very first Vietnamese restaurant, introducing pho and traditional Vietnamese home cooking long before the cuisine became popular in Massachusetts. Its signature broth is simmered fresh every morning from proprietary family recipes and a distinctive blend of herbs and spices. The Chinatown dining room sits close to the Theatre District, Boston Common, Downtown Crossing and Tufts Medical Center.

For more than 30 years the restaurant has fed a mix of locals, students, hospital workers, performers, professionals and visitors from around the world. Its motto, Customer is Family, reflects a goal of making every guest feel at home, whether it is a first visit or a decades-long habit. Pho Pasteur has been recognized by outlets including Boston Magazine, the Boston Phoenix, WGBH and Boston A-List voters.
