Yummy food. Great atmosphere.
Do not order Pho to go from here unless you hate Pho broth. Ordered a "large" beef stew to go. There was next to no broth. not even enough to lightly cover the noodles.
This is more like spaghetti than it is soup.
Highly disappointed

PHOnatik Vietnamese Cuisine & Lounge is a popular spot known for its attentive servers and delicious food. Customers continue to praise the food as fantastic and flavorful, especially the Beef Stew and the rare steak pho. The broth in the rare steak pho has been described as rich and flavorful, while the steak is tender and perfectly cooked, making it a favorite among diners. The beef stew pho and make-it-yourself pho remain highly recommended, alongside the grilled pork plate that is a hit with families. Fresh rolls and deep-fried egg rolls are great appetizers. The OX tail pho is also a must-try, with the restaurant offering a variety of flavorful dishes, including the “Caliphornia spring roll” with pickled carrot, grilled chicken, avocado, and green onion. Diners appreciate the beef bone broth, considered divine and fairly priced, and the large rare steak bowl with well-balanced ratios of beef, noodles, veggies, and broth. The ability to customize with bok choy, onion, jalapeño, and other vegetables is also appreciated.
While the pho is generally good, some customers feel it is overpriced, and wait times can be long, especially during busy hours like lunch rushes. One customer noted a 35-minute wait but still recommended the food. It is advised to arrive early for bahn mi to avoid waiting. Some guests mentioned a lack of napkins at tables and that waitstaff did not always check back after delivering food. The ambiance features cozy surroundings with smooth R&B music, enhancing the overall experience.
Concerns about cleanliness, particularly regarding the bathrooms, have been raised, but improvements in temperature control are underway, as some guests found the inside cold. Despite these issues, the overall feedback has been positive, with many enjoying the flavorful food and attentive service. The restaurant’s warm atmosphere, generous portion sizes, and delicious dishes make it a favorite for many, though patience during busy times and some attention to cleanliness would enhance the experience further.
