Athens Pho

Athens Pho on Barnett Shoals Road brings Vietnamese pho and specialties to the east side of Athens with a 4.8 star rating and over 214 reviews. The restaurant has quickly earned a devoted following among Athens diners who appreciate authentic Vietnamese cooking with real depth of flavor. The pho is the centerpiece: hot, fragrant bowls with properly simmered broth that delivers the complexity that defines great pho. The menu extends into other Vietnamese dishes including banh mi, spring rolls, and rice and noodle plates. The authenticity of the cooking sets Athens Pho apart from more generic Asian restaurants, with flavors and techniques that reflect genuine Vietnamese culinary tradition. The Barnett Shoals Road location on the east side of Athens fills a gap in Vietnamese dining for that part of the city. The restaurant opened in the space formerly occupied by The Crab Hut and has quickly established its own identity and loyal customer base. Athens Pho is open for lunch and dinner. The $$ pricing is fair for the quality of authentic Vietnamese cooking. The restaurant handles both dine in and takeout, with the pho being a particularly popular takeout item during cooler months.
