PhoNatic Vietnamese Restaurant

I loved this place. No photos taken because I ate my food too quickly. Service was quick, food was delicious (and my lemongrass beef turned out a little crispy, just the way I like it) so I'll definitely come here again. Nina is very nice and helpful and made sure we got everything we wanted

Food came out quick and portions are big but the place is filthy. As you can see, almost all the chairs are dirty and where they keep the sauces are rusted. I just lost my appetite after seeing it. When a bus boy wipes tables, he should wipe the chairs as well. The laminated menus are sticky and dirty as well. They should focus on cleanliness of this place.

I love this place cant wait to go back. Now I know it is not traditional Vietnamese and traditional culture. However, if you want good food and to break into the start of a culture outside the standard American fare this is a great start. The soups are dynamic, yet simplistic and are really tasty. Also, the food is very high quality no matter what you get. My wife and I had a great time and although I have had Vietnamese before; my wife never had, but now she is a fan as well. You just can't go wrong with the food. The parking is relatively easy to get in and out of, even from IKEA or I 35. Also the food is not the most expensive we bought a two entrees a soup and a drink for around 25 dollars. So if you want a great experience and something new this is it.

Food is fresh, but i didn't like the way the broth for the pho tasted like cloves. I give 5 stars for neatness and freshness, but 2 stars for taste. Chicken was extremely dry. I could not eat it.
