Pho Pasteur Restaurant — Restaurant in Union City

My family loves Vietnamese Pho, but we tend to come to this restaurant once or twice a year. My pet peeve is that this establishment is still cash only, and usually that means, the owners are avoiding paying taxes on the revenue they make. Also, in this day and age, I personally do not carry a lot of cash. They do not have an ATM machine in the restaurant, and the cashier/owner will tell you that there is a bank in the area. Pros: Free parking; food is good; usually no waiting; restaurant is well lit and bright; Cons: CASH ONLY for payment; no ATM machine in the restaurant; service could be better - they got my son's noodle order wrong, and they never come by after to see if anything else is needed (take your order - drop your food - get your money); the servers that bring out the food need a bit more training - my son who got the wrong order almost burned his hand when the server HANDED him the hot bowl, instead of placing the bowl down in front of him; prices could be better since they are not paying extra for debit/credit machine fees or taxes on non-reported cash transactions; food is good, not great, so we do tend only come once in a blue moon. It's hard to support a business where the owners only think about themselves, and not...

You don't get the soup broth with your meal if you order togo, and for $15 for a rice plate you should. It's good food, but it's not that good. The place across the street is just as good but also about the same price, I think it's called Pho VN...anyhow your best value vietnamese food bet is getting the Banh Mi over at Cam Hoang(other side of Dyer), they also have a steam table selection. I'm not a big Pho person I usually get Com Dia, and at Pho Pasteur the highlights are the veggies: thick sliced carrots daikon and cukes, and good Nuoc Cham. I usually go for grilled pork or shrimp cake, but the protein always comes out good. But the correct balance of sweet spicy and savory are on point to get that umami goodness you get from Viet food. Now if they just lowered prices and/or had...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Nah- this place gets a 5 star here's why. I, an avid lover of pho, have lived all over CA from the bay, to LA, to Sac. I've tried SOOOOO many pho spots- THIS PLACE IS THE TRUTH. No broth can compare. Some dude commented that the broth was off. No, Sir. Either Your tastebuds are or youre just used to mediocre broth profiles. Listen folks- i dont get paid for this but i will take the time to show some love to this Amazing pho house. Put it like this- I was born in the bay and I asked all my local vietnemese homies, maybe 17 years ago now, when my pho game was in its infancy, where to go other than their grandmas house for that quality bowl of pho and they said the Pho Pasteur. Them folks are friends for real. 5...
