Photastic Pho in Richardson: Pho Pasteur

As a huge pho lover, I couldn’t wait to introduce Sara to the hot, steamy goodness. I have never met a bowl of pho that I didn’t like, but I have heard several great things about Pho Pasteur (located in Richardson and Carrollton). We decided on the original Pho Pasteur location in Richardson, which was in a part of town I did not even know existed. Tucked away on Beltline in Richardson, Pho Pasteur is hidden in a small strip mall. I knew this meant it would probably be legit, but it made Sara even more skeptical.

We sat down for lunch and I immediately noticed how spacious and clean this spot was. Sara opted for the Pho Ga (white meat chicken) and I ordered the Pho Tai Nam (eye round steak and flank steak). I usually am a chicken pho gal, but I decided a change would be nice. The bowls came out quickly, along with the usual accompaniments. 

The pho here is very good, probably one of the better bowls that I have had in the metroplex, and I’ve had my fair share, i.e. Pho is for Lovers, Pho Colonial, Pho Bac, Pho Que Huong, Pho Bistro. The broth at Pho Pasteur is what makes these bowls of noodles special. The broth is very flavorful, and the sodium is not overdone. I really enjoyed both steak options, and Sara was impressed by her first go at pho.

Overall, Pho Pasteur gets the Taste Buds stamp of approval.  If you are out in the North Dallas area, whether Richardson or Carrollton, then check out either location. The pho is authentic, and you can easily (and affordably) enjoy a hot bowl of deliciousness.
