Phonatik Vietnamese

Pleasant atmosphere with a clean and minimalist decor. Friendly, polite and attentive staff. I ordered the rare pho and the broth was excellent. It had the perfect amount of body and flavor to it without being heavy or over done. I felt like there could have been a tad more meat though. I ordered the small and it was the perfect size to be able to share a banh mi sandwich with my friend. The pork banh mi was quite tasty. The bread had the perfect crunch on the outside and softness on the inside, the pork was crisp and well flavored, though again, I felt the quantity was lacking. The carrots and lettuce were fresh and I added a little chilli oil for that perfect kick. Would definitely come back to try other items on the menu based on these two excellent dishes!

This place is usually busy and one of the more popular pho restaurants. The popularity is probably due to how they have successfully made it a modern & trendy place to dine. The menu is short and concise, which makes it easy to decide on what to get. Other pho places have 50+ items on their menus. Flavors are pretty mild and good for people who are new to Vietnamese cuisine. They appear to have a successful business model but what matters most is the flavor. The pho broth tastes watered down. It is pretty clear. Adding condiments & garnishes is a must or your will have a bland bowl of noodles. Speaking of condiments... there are not a lot to choose from. Maybe it is due to covid that they just don't want to provide all the additional condiments that just about every other pho shop provides? Less surfaces to touch, less germs? Where is the fish sauce When? The sugar to balance with the lime? When you do ask for certain traditional condiments the servers seem surprised but usually friendly & accommodating. What they seem to do best is the banh mi. There are different types of meats to choose from. You can add and egg & Wasabi mayo to spice it up. The veggies are great. The meat is flavorful. The bun is the perfect texture. I've had banh mi that has been too crunchy & the roof of my mouth has been cut up from eating them. They do a very good job with this. The bread, meat, veggie ratio is spot on. What is missing is that it would be nice to get a traditional banh mi with head cheese.

Delicious vietnamese food, in a modern setting (it is unlikely you have been to a vietnamese restaurant with large dragon murals!). The food is served pretty fast, so awesome. We had the salmon fresh roll and fried tofu fresh roll, both were great. The chicken and seafood pho with chicken broth were both delicious as well. The #13 rice plate with pork was good as well, it comes with a bowl of broth and salad. The staff came by a couple of times to check if we needed anything. We recommend trying Phonatik.

I usually loved this place, but today, everything smelled so bad. I had chicken and shrimp spring rolls and sea food pho and they both smelled unfreshed chicken smell which was very disgusting. Sea food in the pho smelled VERY FISHY AND NOT FRESH at all. I could not have any more bites so even though I was starving I just left all my food behind
