" I have been to many Vietnamese places, and while Mother Pho has some excellent dishes like the pho, I found the banh mi a bit underwhelming. The service was okay; it varies depending on who is working. Overall, I would come back for the pho but may skip the other dishes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've traveled extensively in Vietnam, and I can confidently say that the pho here is top-notch. The broth has that home-cooked flavor and the ingredients are super fresh. I've recommended this place to friends who love Vietnamese food. Each time I've come here, the owners and staff have been friendly and helpful. For authentic pho, this place is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Mother Pho for years and it never disappoints! The pho is fantastic; it’s truly a taste of Vietnam here in Athens. My favorite part is that the ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are on point. While I did experience a bit of a wait for my food recently, the deliciousness of the meal made it worthwhile. I always recommend this place to friends looking for good Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visits have been a mixed bag. I tried the curry chicken last time, and it was way too oily for my taste, and the flavor was a bit flat. That being said, their mango smoothie is absolutely refreshing and one of my favorites. The service has also been a hit or miss; some server interactions were wonderful, while others left me feeling neglected. Still, I can't shake off how great their pho is! I believe I can overlook the negatives for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really pleased with Mother Pho! The pho was delightful, with tender meat and a broth that was just right. I've tried various Vietnamese dishes from here, and they all leave me wanting more. One thing to note is that during busy hours, the service can slow down significantly. However, if you're patient and enjoy good food, it's worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the privilege of dining at Mother Pho last week, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience! The pho was extraordinarily rich and flavorful, boasting a perfect blend of spices that instantly brought me back to Vietnam. The staff were incredibly accommodating, truly exemplifying what it means to run a family business. I'm already planning my next visit! Highly recommend the spicy beef pho if you're a fan of a bit of heat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard so much about Mother Pho but this was my first visit, and I was excited! I tried their pho and fresh spring rolls, both of which were delicious. The only issue was the service didn't match up to the food quality. My waitress seemed overwhelmed and oftentimes unhelpful. But, the food was so good that I might give it another shot despite the service issues. Highly recommended for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)
