I used to have Pho Pasteur in Boston/Chinatown at least once a week due to its cheap, veggie comfort food. Their red bean and coconut milkshake kept me alive during flu seasons in New England.
Now we are in a new era...or at least new area and I was jonesing for some PHO. My brother found this place and I can't believe how often I drove or rode my bike past this tiny lil complex without realzing Pho was in my vicinity all along. Walking in, its set up like a proper Pho place should be- absolutely NO FRILLS. White walls, simple tables and chairs, tvs on, and ordering counter with pyramids of spring rolls waiting for your take out bag. We got tea and water right away and I spinned around the Lazy Susan-yup, all the sauces and utensils are there. Check. I got the simple veggie Pho and veggie spring rolls with cold soy milk (it can get really hot and the broth means the heat can stay on your lips-soy milk is a good way to counter the effect). Delicious. Nothing crazy, all fresh, no non-sense staff, cheap amazing prices. Quick service and my Pho craving totally sated-this may be my new places I stop on my bike to eat something fast besides the near-by notoriously slow-serviced Pita Jungle.
