Seat yourself. Quick and great service. The pot stickers were so good! We really enjoy the fresh taste of the spring rolls. My son loves the milk tea. We try new dishes when we come in and it is always good. They don’t have a soda machine, sodas will come in can. Everything tastes good. They do have delivery but you need to use a specific app.
First time eating here today and won’t be the last! We stopped by for lunch and there was plenty of seating. We were promptly greeted, given menu’s and water. I ordered a fried vegan noodle dish, my husband had a noodle soup and egg rolls. Everything came out quickly and we were really pleased with our dishes. My food was super flavorful with lots of veggies. My husband’s food was also great. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was really clean. The food is fantastic. Definitely recommend Just Pho You! Can’t wait to eat here again.
We came to White Sands National Park to have some fun and stopped by here for a meal. The food turned out to be much better than we expected. We ordered the pho and the spicy pho — both were delicious, and you can really tell the broth isn’t made from store-bought soup base. Also, their restroom is super clean.
Tried this when I first moved here, I liked the food so much that I ate there 4 times that week. I haven’t tried anything on their menu that I haven’t liked and I think that says a lot! The pho is so good. The owners are great people and the server is friendly. Feels just like a home in there. Some things feel a little pricey but when you learn it’s only run by a few people, it makes it feel so worth it. Will really miss this food when I move.
