What People Are Saying About Le's Restaurant

Featured Review

In Short – Many first-time customers of Le's (formerly known as Pho Pasteur) make the mistake of ordering too many dishes, as most entrees are large enough for two. Straightforward pho (noodle soups) prove popular, and the adventurous have many interesting dishes (caramelized catfish, fresh squid with scallions) to choose from. Bowls of vermicelli, topped with grilled meats, shredded lettuce, mint and roasted peanuts, are meals in themselves. Traditional desserts include chilled Asian fruits and creamy rice pudding.

  • Pros: awesome food, great service
  • Cons: none

Middle of the road Vietnamese, Thai +

by Alex Rosenzweig , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

Contrary to some 5 star reviews, I believe Le's (former Pho Pasteur) has gotten worse since it has been sold and renamed. Portions are "ample" bordering on huge in the case of Pho. I have a bone to pick with the depth of flavor vs quantity . When I come to Le's, I'm craving a big bowl of pho. I still prefer this location over others in Harvard sq and Atrium mall. The lemonade, fruit shakes, vietnamese coffee are all good and authentic. Back the Pho, the tripe was too chewy and the other cuts were overly fatty/grisly. Le's also offers Thai dishes, in case you want a bit more variety, which are good but nothing wow.

  • Pros: Portions, seating, timing of food
  • Cons: not as good as it used to be
