Pho Hoan Pasteur Fusion Noodle House

I have eaten here many times and tried the vermicelli bowls, satay beef phở, grilled chicken and rice dish, tripe/​tendon/​rare beef phở, spring rolls, grilled pork chops, and more. I enjoy the satay beef phở on a cold night wth the fresh bean sprouts, hot pepper and lime wedges. Satay is peanutty, savoury goodness in every bite and spicy to boot. Too many restos serve satay soup that’s watery and not flavourful. I judge the broth by it’s voluminous, rich density and how it sticks to the rice noodles.
The usual condiments are set out on each table, hoisin, chili oil, sriracha, soy, napkins, chopsticks and spoons. Service is very fast as I’ve never waited more than 12 minutes from time of order to my food arriving. A few times, my order was ready in under 5 minutes. They have a wide assortment of drinks to choose from and several bubble tea flavours.
I much prefer this place vs the competition that is visible across the parking lot.

Used to come here often since I live around the area.
My friends and I were treated so rudely the last time that we never returned. There seemed to be some argument in the kitchen with a lot of yelling. The female owner took it out on us by rolling her eyes when I asked for a water refill. She ignored us whenever she walked by and when we went to pay, she put it all on one bill. I asked politely for her to separate the bills and she glared at me with no reply… After repeating myself four times she ripped the machine out of my hand to cancel the transaction and then split the bills incorrectly. We just paid because it was such a hassle to get her to reply. After we paid, she walked away without saying anything.
There are so many vietnamese restaurants out there, I don’t know why you would want to try this horrible place.

The broth for the beef sate I always get is to die for. They add curry and peanuts which is not only addictive, but a little different which I like. Highly recommended!!!
The appetizers I have tried have been average, except the fried onion which is delish! Friendly & fast service, clean inside.

I’m always on the lookout for good Phở, so I decided to go out of my way to try this place. I started with the shrimp summer rolls … there was not a lot of taste to them, but they were prepared nicely and the peanut sauce was spicy enough to at least give me something to taste.
This was followed by the steak and meatball phở and … there was not a lot of taste to it, either. The plate of sprouts and leaves that came with the dish was a bit old and wilted, too. Now, they provide a variety of sauces on the table, so I was able to inject some heat and flavour into the bowl, but even at that I really didn’t get a sense of good appeal. Also, the vermicelli had congealed into a blobby ball in the broth, and I had to pull and stretch it to get the right amount onto my chopsticks.
The service was … well, about what you’d expect from a phở restaurant, actually. Nobody will ever win Miss Congeniality; but that comes with the territory. The food arrived quickly, which was a big plus for me, since I was on a limited lunch break.
Overall, I’d only go back if I was hungry, already there, and didn’t have a lot of time.

A okay Vietnamese restaurant with quick service and okay food. A bit pricy with the size of foods. Average experience.

Service was horrible. Once we were seated and given our tea and menus we were completely forgotten about. After 20 min i got up and went to the cashier to have her actually acknowledge our existence. Food was ok very typical.

Had the beef sate phở and they added way too much chilli oil — it was greasy and that’s all I could taste. I prefer clean phở.

We went there over a year ago and weren’t impressed, but I can’t remember why. We gave it another chance. We went there about a month ago and the food was pretty good, no complaints. The best part about the restaurant is that they’re very quick. The food was ready in about 5 minutes and the service was friendly. The spring rolls were good– familiar tasty greasy goodness. However this time when I got my takeout home there were a couple problems. I should’ve checked the order there because I’d ordered 3 vermicelli dishes and only got 2 — a misunderstanding. The salad rolls came with fish sauce, not peanut sauce (I guess you have to ask for that extra). I drove back to get a 3^rd vermicelli dish and was disappointed with the taste. Most of the pork was burnt around the edges. I’m not sure we’ll go back. There are plenty of other better Vietnamese places pretty close by.

Food is always consistent, eat here for lunch often. Better overall flavor compared to many other Vietnamese places.

Typical Vietnamese place. If you are in a rush and need to be in and out, go here. But even when I am in a rush, there are so many other places around that I prefer over this place.
Not that this place is terrible, but also nothing amazing either. Service is ok, nothing super friendly but nothing bad either. Food comes out pretty fast. I tried the salad rolls here but it didn’t taste like there was much inside. The phở is okay, nothing special though. The only thing I really like about this place is that since it is on the newer side, the place is clean and very spacious.
If you just need a quick fix for Viet food and can’t bother to drive to Crowfoot, I guess this is the place for you.

It’s a decent vietnamese restaurant the quality and the quantity of the food is good although sometimes there is an unpleasant smell on the table which is not from the food nor the cooking smeell… that made my lunch experience alot less enjoyable… good restaurant but could be more clean …

It’s our go-​to place for Vietnamese in Royal Oak. Head and shoulders above the Saigon place. Reliable quality and good quantity. Never had a problem with the service.

Horrible. Took one bite of my food, paid and left. Tastes like the grill has never been cleaned.

This place was my go-​to at least once a week. I never had the best service there, but it was close to work and the food was always decent. One visit to Phở Hoan and the waitress spilt a whole pitcher of water on my lap and didn’t even apologize. And most recent I was drinking my coke (that they bring you in a glass with ice and a straw) and what seemed like a worm came through my straw… I was already ¾ done my soup when I pulled it out of my straw. I was absolutely appalled and disgusted. When I approached the waitress about it, she said it was a «jelly», but abruptly took the napkin I had placed it on away, never to return or apologize. When I didn’t leave a tip, the cashier scoffed at me. Needless to say, I will not be back, which is unfortunate because it is so close to my work! In short, I will never be back!

My wife and I typically get take out from Phở Hoan Pastuer. They always get the order correct and have it ready in reasonable time.
The vermicelli is great but I absolutely love the satay beef soup. Probably the best I have had.

Good phở BUT:
–long wait times. (30 min @ 1 pm Friday)
–incorrect order (#1 instead of #3)
–bathroom service slack (out of paper)

Lunch was great and made quick. Under 10 minute wait. Service was ok but to be expected since it was take out. I find with take out at most places, especially Vietnamese restaurants isn’t always the best service. The food was great and the portion big enough for lunch.

Seated immediately.
Tea came promptly without having to ask and was tasty w light rice taste.
Fast and friendly service.
Onion cake was nicely done.
My beef and flank phở had a great broth, beef was nicely medium rare, flank was perfect.
Iced coffee was nice and strong!

Stumbled upon this restaurant. It’s located kitty corner from Walmart in Royal Oaks.
Appy:
Onion Cake — looks like 2 really big onion rings, quartered. Delicious with a faint taste of green onions.
Entrees:
Beef Flank with Tendon Phở — the beef soup is so light and not at all oily and comes with a plate of fresh bean sprouts, green mint leaves, a lil’ red Thai pepper. Very tasty. Great, tender peieces of tendon with the beef slices.
Grilled Beef with Spring Roll Bun — Good size of vermicelli with grilled beef, spring rolls and lots of finely shredded vege. The fish sauce condiment added lots of flavour to the bun but I like to add more hot sauce in to spice mine up!
Grilled Chicken and Prawns on Rice — Good sized plate of rice with pieces of Grilled Chicken and Prawns (no shells) and a side of some fresh veges — delicious. Comes with the fish sauce condiment.
Dessert:
3 Beans with Coconut Cream Drink — Love it!
The restaurant is fairly large, very clean, with a bright & airy atmosphere. Service is pretty good. Prices are very reasonable.

What is better than a bowl of phở when it is minus 30 out?! Nothing!
We thought we would get to know this place a bit better rather than just driving by all the time wondering how it was. Glad we did!
The building is large and newer. Typical Vietnamese décor, nothing fancy, tacky-​chic.
I was a bit surprised that a large bowl of phở was only $ 9! We will come back often for that price. Both of us ate, drank (water and tea) for under $ 20! (plus tip) LOVE free tea as not all places serve it. (Jasmine)
Very casual and informal, you pay at the cash when done eating (they accept credit cards). Staff was very pleasant.
We ordered the beef satay phở which to my surprise hubby loved as it was spicy and normally he is not into that. Plus he normally only ever orders chicken. The beef WAS delicious. The satay had a sweeter peanut quality to it (peanut based for anyone with allergies out there) but it was addictive. Just when you think you cannot eat one more bite of even liquid, you dive right on back in the bowl. The meat was perfectly medium rare and was very tender.
I got my typical seafood phở with just shrimp. It was a very simple broth, very well done and came with all the trimmings of course, bean sprouts, greenery and if you want fresh chilies like I did, just ask and they will bring you some! Chili sauce and oil could be found on the table.
We are anxious to come back on a warmer day to try the vermicelli bowls. The menu was your typical Vietnamese fare, lots to choose from.
A must try when in the NW!
