ABOUT US

Pho Pasteur opened in Boston’s Chinatown in 1991 as the very first Vietnamese restaurant in the city - pioneering authentic pho and traditional Vietnamese cuisine for generations of Bostonians.
Long before Vietnamese food became popular in Massachusetts, we introduced the warmth, flavor, and comfort of Vietnamese home cooking to Boston, setting the standard for authenticity and quality.

Conveniently located in the heart of Chinatown, our Boston restaurant is just steps away from many of the city’s most visited destinations — Boston’s Theatre District, the Financial District, Boston Common, Downtown Crossing, Tufts Medical Center, and Tufts Dental School. For decades, Pho Pasteur has been a staple for locals, students, hospital workers, visitors, performers, and professionals from all over the city.

Over the years, Pho Pasteur has become world renowned, welcoming guests from across the country and around the globe. We’ve been proudly reviewed and recognized by numerous publications and media outlets, including Boston Magazine, Readers Poll Awards, Boston Phoenix, TV-5, TV-2 Top Winner, Boston A-List CityVoter, WGBH, and many more — solidifying our place as one of the most iconic and beloved pho destinations in New England.

At the core of our kitchen are proprietary family recipes, carefully refined and protected for generations. Our signature broth is simmered fresh every morning, crafted with patience, care, and a distinctive blend of herbs and spices that embody true Vietnamese flavor. Every bowl is prepared with the same intention, tradition, and love that has kept customers returning for over 30 years.

Our motto, “Customer is Family,” reflects the heart of who we are. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or have been dining with us for decades, our goal is to make every guest feel welcomed, cared for, and at home.

* Pho Pasteur Quincy
Our second location brings the same iconic pho, handcrafted Vietnamese dishes, and warm hospitality to the South Shore. Located in the heart of Quincy Center on Hancock Street, our Quincy restaurant is just a short walk from Quincy Center Station and Quincy College, with public parking conveniently available nearby.

Pho Pasteur Quincy continues the legacy of our Boston flagship - a welcoming space for families, students, professionals, and anyone craving fresh, authentic Vietnamese comfort food.

Across both Boston and Quincy, our mission remains simple:
Serve real Vietnamese comfort food - made fresh daily - with the same love, tradition, and craftsmanship that have defined Pho Pasteur for more than 30 years.

Pho Pasteur - Boston’s first Vietnamese restaurant, world renowned, and a place where tradition, community, and family come together in every bowl.
