    Best beef pho broth we've ever had, hands down, anywhere. Can't explain how amazing it is. Service was great. Owned by a wonderful lady, Wan, who has spent a long time developing this passed down recipe. I usually stay away from tendon and meatballs because it's hard to do them right... Here they are done perfectly and are so delicious. Spring rolls were very flavorful, well balanced, crispy, and served with nice lettuce to wrap. Highly recommended. Update: Been here three times now. Each time, the service and food have been wonderful. Lemongrass chicken vermicelli is delicious. If you want a lighter pho option, they have chicken pho now as well. Delivery: Ordered delivery through Grub Hub for our fourth experience with Just Pho You. Was prepared quickly, packaged expertly for delivery, and included nice instructions for newcomers to pho. We appreciated a free sample of the very tasty papaya salad!

    I was really looking forward to the food here after hearing great reviews on social media. My friend wanted to get the oxtail pho but they didn’t have it that day. The value you get from this establishment is pathetic. I honestly don’t know how there are so many good reviews. $7 for two small spring rolls. The pho was $19 but all I got was a chopstick-full of noodles. Like that’s it? The taste didn’t even justify the price point, everything was mediocre. Service was nonexistent, the two employees in the front were just talking amongst each other the whole time non-stop yet they took forever to get me the bill. This was the absolute worst restaurant experience I have ever had. At least the bathroom was clean 🥲

    Such a pretty little restaurant. The service is excellent here. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The food is good. The Papaya salad could have used some Peanuts for crunch and some more lemon for tang but otherwise all good. Only 2 types of banh mi. Most restaurants have 4 or 5 options.

    A good place for authentic Pho.Went for a late lunch and ordered too many dishes between 2 of us. The spring rolls were good but the grilled pork lettuce wrap is my favourite. There was a good nip in the air and we were looking forward to the hot bowl of pho. We ordered the chicken pho and it was difficult to go through the massive bowl. We also ordered the pork chop with rice. This dish was on the sweeter side but the pork was very well cooked .

    Just Pho You is a hidden gem in UWS. The Bun Bo Hue broth was a delightful blend of tastiness without being overly salty. I requested for it to be extra spicy and heat level was perfect. The beef carpaccio's starter was a great combination of crunch, mint, shallots, and peanuts; combined with tangy and tasty marinade, it really hit all the right notes. The garlic/lemongrass chicken wings made for a perfect, flavorful starter with crispy fried garlic/shallots. Kudos to Wan, the friendly and receptive manager and owner! Having ordered their signature beef short rib pho on Door Dash multiple times, I finally visited in person, and it lived up to every expectation. The broth and flavors are simply exceptional. Not to mention the hoisin and hot sauce are handcrafted to be vegan friendly too. I thought that was pretty neat! Overall I was really happy with my experience and will certainly be back.

    I've been wanting to try this place and so upset I didn't come sooner. The place is beautifully decorated and super clean. My server was super sweet and attentive. I ordered the oxtail pho and had a glass of wine. The pho was 1 of the best I had..the broth was complex and full of layers. The owner came over to talk to us,It made my lunch even more special to feel and see how passionate she is to make GOOD food. The menu is limited but growing and can not wait to see what else there is to come.

    The service is excellent, the interior design is also lovely and cute. I like their choices of utensils as well. I make pho at home, the soup/meat does take a long time to prepare and the raw ingredients also need to be picked heartily. That’s why I also like to go to pho restaurants cuz it’s convenient. Good soup should be light brown and clear and rich in flavor. As the picture shows, the broth in this restaurant is a bit too foggy, and it lacks umami. Same problems happen to me when I boil the bone/meat for too long that dissolves too much fat from the meat to the soup, creating fogginess, or when I put in too much water and the flavor is diluted. It’s completely understandable for a business to extract as much value as possible from the bones/meat, yet the taste is still the key to the product. Aside from that, the side bean sprouts and basil is a bit small. Usually it’s served in a bigger plates. Noodles’ texture is good, onion pieces are cut thin like they should be. Also tried papaya salad. It’s very sour to the point where it hurts my stomach. But I like the idea of a different style of papaya salad even though I never had it in Vietnam or Asia or in any other Vietnamese restaurants in the states.

    My coworker was looking for a good Pho spot. I came across this one on Tiktok decided to try it out. It my first time trying Pho soup, and I gotta say it was aaaamazing! Chicken Pho soup was deep with aromatic flavorful taste. The coffee was on point too! The lady owner/waitress checked in with us a few times making sure we were good. Overall, experience was very welcoming and pleasant from beginning to end. Definitely plan on coming back soon!

    1st time eating here was when they first opened. We ordered their most expensive pho for $25 with very little noodle, we left there very dissatisfied, we vowed not to go back ever. 2nd time we went there for lunch special after 1 1/2 years because a friend insisted that she wanted Pho. Lunch was reasonably priced, but the portion was still small. I would suggest the owner to put a little more noddle in, that might make your guests happier! Not sure I will go in again, but surely the next time i hope I will be happier with more noodles!

    This is literally the best bowl of soup I’ve had IN MY LIFE. They put a new spicy soup on the menu BUN BO HUE and I am pretty sure this place is going to have a line around the block very soon. The spicy pho is just spicy enough and I add their homemade chili oil to get it over the top. You have to try this soup!! Oh and you can get everything gluten free!

    this is one of the best pho I’ve ever had in NYC. if you are hungry, you can order a signature pho plus a shot rib (that is really a wildly large rib). Here are the prices of what I ordered JPY short rib pho 27 JPY signature pho - grand 20 Short rib Add on 13 Note that there is discount for Columbia students
