Under-priced delicious food. The meatballs are spectacular. The basil spring rolls are amazing. The pho is fantastic. More people need to visit this place, with amazing service, and an incredibly friendly staff that make great food.

Ordered takeout, and excellent customer service immediately. I got the Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls and both were amazing. If you love spicy, get it! I tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Athens, and honestly, Athens Pho tops it all. The noodle soup tastes very authentic and portions are outstanding. Spring rolls are super fresh and the peanut sauce is great. I love how each part of the dish is packaged separately! Plenty of meat, veggies, and condiments! I’ve been searching for a Vietnamese spot that reminds me of my favorite hometown restaurant back home, as a college student. I’m so impressed with my experience. Will definitely be back :)

My husband wanted to try out some restaurant next door, something de Paris; however, that business is closed. I looked at the Crab Hut and saw the window signs for pho and bahn mi's. I told my husband, "Hey, why not try this place? Maybe it just moved locations or something." Completely different restaurant, but well worth it. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing with traditional vietnamese mix songs playing. The staff was really nice and I believe our waiter said they're brothers who run it. The food was phenomenal. My husband is Vietnamese, so we always try to find a Vietnamese restaurant that has true to flavor traditional food. Hands down one of the best Vietnamese restaurants we have ever been to. Fair pricing compared to other restaurants. Our waiter was really nice and gave us a sample to try of their Thai tea and passionfruit lemonade. Both of them were delicious and refreshing. They press the juices right there at the bar. The spring rolls and peanut sauce were really good. I like that it was both shrimp and pork. Most places will only do one or just chicken. The crispy tofu and sweet chili sauce was absolute heaven. I want to know how they got the tofu so crispy and perfectly golden brown. My husband was in heaven with his combination bahn mi and even ordered one to go. It's probably the most affordable place for a bahn mi as most places charge upwards of $8+ for 1. My filet mignon pho was amazing. The broth was perfect. I normally add soy sauce to my pho for added flavor, but this broth doesn't need anything extra, in my opinion. I ordered the medium bowl, and it was loaded with noodles and steak, more than what most pho places give you. Athens Pho is where The Crab Hut used to be, and at the time we went, during their soft opening, they're offering 10% off plus a free fountain drink. I highly recommend this place, and my family will definitely frequent this location for our go-to vietnamese dishes. You have to give this place a try, you won't regret it.

The Korean BBQ short ribs special isn't always available, so order it when it's available. The grilled pork is really good. The interior isn't fancy, but the fiod is great.

The food was amazing! Pho was so good and the Korean BBQ ribs flavored just right! Our waiter was so sweet and always checked on us too. The music they played was really good and I love the decorations! Not to mention the small pho size was a big portion! 10/10 would recommend

This hidden gem has the best Vietnamese food i ever had in a while. This place just opened up 5 days ago, and we got the chance to come during the soft opening. The food is like my moms cooking, and it brings back memories. I highly recommend coming here to experience authentic Vietnamese food . The staff is extremely friendly and they also recommend dishes if you can't decide. The staff are family members and take their time to cook the food with traditional values. This place is worth coming too and it's not downtown near the college.

This is the best and most reasonably priced pho in Athens. My wife and I got 2 XL bowls of beef type pho, two orders of spring rolls, two jasmine teas, and two milk teas, and it was 57 dollars. You could easily eat here for 13 or 14 dollars per person. The broth was absolutely amazing. The cook in the back knows precisely what they are doing. The service is top tier. Our waiter was so nice and jovial, and the atmosphere was quiet and subdued. 10/10 would recommend.

FINALLY the great pho place Athens deserves. We loved our lunch here and can't wait to visit again and try many new things. The broth brings life! Highly recommend if you love pho.

This is probably the best pho/viet cuisine in Athens now. It used to be CrabHut, where this place currently is and re-opened as. Atmosphere is brighter than the old place, the service was good and nice. The menu and food was fairly traditional viet cuisine and it was definitely a step up from before and compared to the rest of the places in Athens. Highly recommend the pho and bahn mi.

Absolutely delicious and the service is wonderful! Loved the music! Portions sizes are incredible and so affordable as well. I recommend a small pho bowl unless you’re prepared for a massive portion. Love love love and will definitely be back!
