Quality of food was okay. The broth was maybe a bit too salty and not as rich as some other places. We received a large portion of meat, which I appreciated for the price, but I think there was too much for the amount of noodles provided. The bahn mi was more full of toppings than meat, but was otherwise a decent quality sandwich.
The restaurant was empty, so service was quick and the seating area was clean. For the price, I think a fine bowl of pho.

I came to Just Pho and overall was good taste wise, I just didn’t find it worth it for the price.

No chili oil OR basil. Enough said. “Owner hasn’t bought basil in months”
Ordered a regular sized brisket pho. Came with good amount of brisket, decently fatty enough and not overcooked. Came with less than average noodles compared to other pho places Iv visited. Broth wasn’t anything crazy, a little on the saltier side.
18.19 for a normal pho and a can of coke.
Would not recommend, try “Mother Pho” instead.

Quality changed. One large pho combination, one small pho combination, one BBQ pork vermicelli two iced coffees and one coke came up to be $90. With the tip I left, the bill came to be $100 and some change. The vermicelli dish noodles was mixed with oil so when you ate it with the cold veggies it turned syrupy. There should be no oil in the vermicelli noodles as it is meant to be a refreshing salad. I'm sad to say but I won't be coming back. I gave an extra star because I know the two ladies are trying. I was just very disappointed though and this is my honest experience.

I have been a long time customer of Just Pho (since it opened) but I’m wondering if there’s new ownership, maybe? The quality has changed DRAMATICALLY & not for the better.
We got two bowls of Pho for takeout tonight and they were mediocre & disappointing. The broth doesn’t have nearly the complexity or depth of flavor it used to have and this is the FOUNDATION of a solid Pho. What’s more—they used to give you a big bag of toppings including Thai basil, cilantro, onions, jalapeño slices, limes & fresh bean sprouts. They no longer give you a big bag of toppings & they don’t give you ANY basil or bean sprouts at all—they are a critical part of the authentic Pho experience.
All in all, we spent $45 on two bowls of Pho, which weren’t impressive and didn’t even have basil or bean sprouts included. Just weak! Sad to say but we’ve decided to branch out and try the other Pho restaurants in town. Let’s be honest, $45 is ridiculous for 2 bowls of mediocre soup.

Great Vietnamese food. Been eating there for years. Great vegan options. Atmosphere is great, especially on the patio. Lots of plants.
Changed ownership, but the food is as good as ever.
While you're here, stick your head in Foxglove Plantbar, an exotic plant store. Even if you aren't in the market for a plant, it's worth visiting. The displays are awesome to see.

Had the pleasure of meeting the owner. She has had this restaurant for 15 years, since her daughter attended UGA and there weren’t many options for Vietnamese food in Athens back then. She told us how she makes the broth as basically a superfood. You can tell she puts so much time and effort into making the food and it shows. I even took the leftover broth home for later. We will be back!

Got Banh MI to go. Worst I have ever had. Bread was stale. Chicken tasted like it was out of a can. They should be embarrased to serve this.

Food is good, but service is not. Not only are hours incorrect online, causing me to wait over an hour when I got there, they just pointed at my order for me to pick up.

Unfortunately, the food here seemed unleavened to me. I didn't get the rich taste of dishes that Vietnamese cuisine has. The spring rolls were of poor quality, and the peanut sauce was strange. In Russia, the Vietnamese cooked much more deliciously. In the United States, I have not yet found a place where the food is as delicious. Unfortunately, the food here seemed bland to me. I did not feel the rich taste of the dishes inherent in Vietnamese cuisine. The spring rolls were low quality and had that weird peanut sauce.
