About Phở Hiền Vương Pasteur

Skip the sprawling lines on Hopkins Street for slow-simmered, traditional Vietnamese phở in a relaxed room where you can actually hear yourself think. The clear beef broth leans sweet and clean from long-simmered bones, poured over springy rice noodles and thinly cut beef without a slick of grease. Regulars bypass the surrounding street bustle to customize their bowls with both pickled garlic and pickled onions straight from the counter, paired with handmade spring rolls or a cup of the house-blended tea.

  • Pickled garlic and onion condiments: Tables are stocked with both pickled garlic and pickled onions for sharpening the clear bone broth.
  • Naturally sweet, clear broth: Slow-simmered bone broth arrives clear, lightly sweet, and unburdened by heavy oil or artificial additives.
  • Relaxed, unhurried dining: A cozy, calm dining room offers quick service and seating without the long queues found next door.
