High quality does not have to be pretentious
Unlike other south-east asian cuisines, Vietnamese food has influences from France. Given this influence, cooking is definitely a culmination of East meets West where meals are prepared and cooked for hours rather than flash fried.

With fresh herbs, meats and vegetables, Simply Pasteur goes one step further than other Vietnamese restaurants by crafting our plates to be for a modern-american palette. That is, our cuisine is not only designed to be elegant, but also to be flavorful and to take experience into account.

Come relax and enjoy an elegant pairing of Vietnamese pho, noodles, rice dishes and more with our in-house cocktails, wines and full bar.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner in the patio. The temperature at dusk in September was great and the ambience wonderful. The mango salad was superb, especially with the anchovy lime dressing. The ginger chicken and the shrimp with lobster sauce were both excellent. Service was very attentive despite being a busy Friday evening.

    It was horrible. It took FOREVER to get waited on. Drink order took forever, appetizers took forever , food order took about one hour. Wines are overpriced, food is meh. Don’t waste your time (lots of it) and money. Many many better choices!!!

    They recently redecorated their outdoor patio and it's just beautiful! Plenty of tables to get a seat outside and enjoy the ambiance. The food is excellent - I even noticed more chicken in the Curry Chicken, which is one of my favorites. A bit skimpy on the shrimp in the shrimp and mango salad but the rest of the ingredients and the dressing make up for it. Service staff are very nice - two work the entire patio so someone is always checking on your table. Lovely place!

    We have been going to this location for many years and was extremely disappointed in the menu limitations and the food itself. No imagination nor taste, small portions such as the Saigon crepe as appetizer w minimal lettuce and herbs. My mojito had chopped mint that caught in my teeth as well as floating was very unappealing Cannot recommend. Big loss.

    Had dinner here for the first time in a couple of years. Hasn't lost a step. Food is so flavorful, service is great. A must try for Vietnamese.

    I have eaten at Pasteur a number of times over the past 20 years and the food has never been better than the meals we really enjoyed a few nights ago.

    We love the food, the service and the setting. The outdoor patio is amazing. We just keep going back for more great food. We have been in Vietnam a few times and we just love this cuisine and the way it is prepared at Simply Pasteur.
