Pho Pasteur

wtf. made a Unilocal just to show my feelings hurt real bad. came for 24 hour Vietnamese like its posted all around the store and website and I get here ten minutes until ten pm and excitedly looked at the menu outside the glass entrance doors within scanning the menu one of the workers sneakily locked me out without saying a word and when I tried to open the door all the costumers just stared at me blankly. I am deeply hurt by this lol ok sure the food is probably great but this hurts! feeling faint and not looking forward to salty sheetZ run

Good Phở noodle soup restaurant. Big bowls of good food that comes out fast & hot, with fresh veggies & herbs. The fresh spring rolls are very nice, something different from fried egg rolls. They have extensive menu options besides Phở soup, including traditional rice dishes & sandwiches/​subs.

Ordered a phở special (basically phở with everything in it) — portions sizes are massive — their small seems equivalent to larges in most other places Ive been in the past. Nice quality ingredients, ell seasoned broth.
I ordered a couple banh mi’s to run. Shared them for dinner later in the day. They are solid (bread could be a little crustier), but good price at 4 bucks for a full size hoagie roll.

Absolutely the best place to get phở in the area. Open ²⁴⁄₇.

Best phở in the Harrisburg area. Big portions, delicious broth. The Nem nuong is just like mum’s. Nothing better in the fall/​winter.

I went to the Asia Mall today exclusively for the banh mi (Vietnamese cold cut baguette sandwich) due to a tip from someone. I didn’t know the name of the restaurant, but upon arriving there, I realized I’ve been to «Phở Pasteure» before when it was located on S 29^th St more than 3 years ago. I thought it was shut down due to failed health inspection?! Anyway, even if it is so, I believe in giving someone a second chance.
The atmosphere was more like a cafeteria, nothing special to mention. Clean but appeared ad hoc. However, the waitresses do serve the tables. More than half of the clientele were Asian, so I think that’s a good sign. I didn’t try their phở noodle soup on this trip, but the value of the banh mi takeout is a steal! $ 3.50 for a foot-​long sub and they offered buy-​5-​get-​1 deal. I remember we had to pay $ 5.49 each when we were at JoJu’s in Flushing, NY.
We had the house-​special banh mi — had everything on (liver pâté, ham + various specialty cold cuts, cucumber, cilantro, jalapenos, mayo, and pickled daikon and carrots). Even our 7 year old specifically mentioned the whole combination of ingredients was «addictive». The only negative was my sub somehow got the fatty end of some kind of cold cut, but I am willing to overlook it since it wasn’t an issue on my wife’s and son’s sandwich.
I look forward to trying their phở noodle soup next time I am around Harrisburg. But as far as ordering banh mi to go, I am a fan.

one of many harrisburg phở hauses. this one stands out though, phở pasteur is open ²⁴⁄₇.
this joint is truly what you make of it. and being ²⁴⁄₇ there’s always a lively crowd. sometimes you even see some eyepatched river pirates from the pool hall down the shopping center.
i’m never disappointed here. good, authentic stuff. i recommend you know what it is that you’re ordering before you order it – or face the consequences of eating something you’re not hyped on.

Lousy first experience. We ordered the shrimp and vegetarian spring roll, vegetarian phở soup, and Thai phở soup. The rolls were okay, there wasn’t much more than sprouts in them. The Thai soup had good flavor but way too spicy. I love spicy food and I even like to sweat when I eat it but this was painfully hot and over shadowed the flavors. A warning of just how hot it was would have been nice or even better they could have asked me if
I wanted to melt my face off.
The service was terrible. After we first got our food we waited for about 15 mins to find our waiter again, apparently he was roaming the hall. We asked for less spicy soup and the waiter seemed annoyed like, what do you want me to do about it. Surely I’m not the first person to send something back but he seemed clueless. After my husband’s suggestion, he took my dish and added more broth to dilute it but at the same time seemed to have dumped out a lot of the seafood and vegetables. Later, I had to keep flagging down the waiter for water. When we were done we had to flag him down for the bill and to ask for our food «to-​go». We were surprised when they handed us soup containers that were rather small and no spoon or anything to actually transfer the soup from our large bowls. We both ended up pouring it from the bowl into the containers and dumping soup all over the table and ourselves. We were burnt, wet, and going through all their napkins while they just stood there and looked at us. This should have been done by the staff in the kitchen for safety and cleanliness. I hope they read this and make some changes. Also they really need to get it together at the Asia Mall, the whole place was freezing cold and the bathroom was gross with stains on doors and the ceiling torn up.

Great food, good prices. One of my favorite lunch spots. Nice menu. Good service. Inside the Asia Mall. I like the Phở, the pork vermicelli, and the Banh Mi. Good kids options
