I'm not usually a fan of people's "modern take" on traditional foods, but this place is exceptional. If you love Vietnamese food, this place will definitely satisfy your cravings. Right when you enter the restaurant, the atmosphere is very "hipstery" and modern. The staff is very nice and laid back. This is a vegetarian friendly restaurant, but their meat options are good as well. I tried their tofu bah mi and it was delicious. The tofu was just right and the vegetables were fresh. There is a salad bar where you can add more veggies to your meal if you choose. I also tried their veggie egg rolls and shrimp spring rolls and I have to say it is the best in town (so far). I will be returning here to get my pho/bah mi fix! read more

A few days back I got my to go from Phonatic, a chicken pho and the shrimp rolls. It was alright. The food, service and ambiance is all very so-so. The space is clean and the service is fast. read more

UPDATE! 9.50 combo ban mi and beef pho.... Its beyond tiny. I realize ban mi are smaller but it doesnt even match the length of the bowl.... which is a 16 oz bowl. The ban mi is yummy dont get me wrong but I would pay 8 bucks 8.50 not almost 10. The beef concerned me this time..... my meat is always delivered seperate and raw..... this is cooked, jerky, crumbly strips of beef.... not sure what happened here. read more

3.5 stars of all the Pho places I've been to, I'd rank this in the middle. We both ordered the filet mignon. The broth was good but I added a lot of chili paste b/c it had no heat. was kinda on the bland side compared to pho I've had in chinatown. It also seemed as if we were kinda shorted on the meat overall. BUT, there is a lot more to the Pho place that I would like to try. they have platters and different dishes to try and I am super excited to come back. nothing on menu less than $10.00 read more

PhoNatic - Round Rock - Filet mignon - Vietnamese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

If I could have given no stars, I absolutely would have. I'm warning anyone who eats here to have EXTREME caution. I ordered the vegetable egg rolls tonight and upon receiving them, I bit into one of the three to find a huge piece of PLASTIC! Yes, PLASTIC! As I spoke to the manger who asked me what I wanted, he quickly said a refund and he would make new ones... well.... Still waiting, wonder if they ran out of PLASTIC to place inside of them! Again, please take extreme caution when eating here. There's no excuse for PLASTIC to be in the food. The plastic was fairly large as it looks like it came off a bottle of Sriracha Hot Sauce from where you remove the protective plastic before using it... I'm so annoyed and will NOT be coming back here! read more

Went back just for the sliders and got a Thai Tea which was perfectly sweet! Perfect lunch. Both items under $12 including tip. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place at all! The steak didn't look fresh like it had been sitting out for hours didn't smell good either. We also had spring rolls and the shrimp also didn't look like it was fresh the way they rolled it just said it all like they didn't even care to try. read more

Street tacos were not good the chicken was dry and over cooked (hard as wood) and of course they forgot the sauce even though we spacifically asked for it. We also ordered the Chicken Pho soup witch was good. Total bill $39.67 not worth the price. read more

Vegan pho was pretty good. Ordered meatballs and they were not the best. Def wouldn't mind trying some other stuff on a diff day. Wasn't bad. read more

Going to keep it simple and short; the food was tasty (got the Pat's Plate & 403), the prices were fair (less than $20 including food & drinks), the staff was friendly and the service was fast. Will definitely be visiting again soon. read more

PhoNatic - Round Rock - Crispy tofu. Vegetarian pho. Egg rolls. And tofu banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I used to go to their original location off Anderson ln and it was so good. They had a veggie bar with tons of extra onions , jalapeños, and other extras for your pho. After visiting the round rock location it appears they no longer offer this. I got the pho and Bahn mi today and it wasn't bad, but also not great. Their pho broth taste like regular chicken noodle soup broth with no aromatics. It wasn't very hot either. The bahn mi wasn't bad, but the cucumber and carrots weren't pickled and had zero flavor. I think overall everything would be good if it all had more flavor. The staff was friendly and working hard to keep the tables clean, and have the food come out in a timely manner. I'll come back again to see if maybe it will taste better like the days when they first opened. read more

We just moved to the area and noticed that there's a good amount of pho restaurants. So naturally we said well let's try them all out. Going to Phonatics was an absolute waste of time and money. This is not pho. The broth was so watery & bland. The meat was WAY overcooked & extremely Chewy. They didn't even have tripe on the menu... We also had their veggie eggrolls & that of course was also a disappointment. The veggies were overcooked and mushy. Do not recommend. If you're a pho lover please don't waste your time & money here. Head over to V-nam bistro. Best pho we've found so far! read more

Spent all driving and was in the mood for some Pho. Happy that it was a .5 mile from the hotel, but didn't realize it was a chain. I was definitely leary about the taste when I didn't see any Vietnamese people working, but did spot a couple in the kitchen. Paid for extra meat and didn't believe I got what I paid for, but I was back at the hotel and didn't want to go back out. The broth was OK, but needed more flavor. They charge a surcharge for to-go container which I didn't care, I was to surprised to find two dinner sized plastic containers for 2 spring rolls and 2 egg rolls, definitely can use bags for these instead of containers, if concerned about the planet. The food was ok. People were friendly. read more

The go to dish here is anything with the thit nuong (grilled pork) - that is if you are looking for authenticity. Nice and tender, seasoned perfectly. Pho is so so, which is why I go elsewhere for Pho. read more

Hopefully nobody really thinks this is real pho. Lol. It's an embarrassment of the term "Pho". This place makes pho in every wrong way possible, it tastes like beef ramen from the package. /: read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. My mother had gastric bypass surgery and orders kids meal whenever she goes out to eat (and even then she has a hard time finishing them). When the server delivered our food, he very rudely informed her that she was not allowed to order a kid's meal and that if she ordered it again, they would refuse her service. All in a very rude, condescending tone. She was almost in tears and has never had an issue ordering a kid's meal at any other restaurant. Why wouldn't you just inform me of this policy at the time I ordered the food? Why get all mad about it later on?? Also, the tables are NEVER cleaned off, and it is difficult to find seating due to the high amount of dirty tables. Not to mention that you're also then forced to stare at stranger's old food your entire meal.. I highly recommend skipping this establishment and visiting instead a pho restaurant that actually has authentic pho in a clean and welcoming environment. Will never be coming back! Which is super disappointing because I was just about to have a huge family gathering in Austin and this restaurant was on our list. Definitely not anymore since they won't even allow basic accommodations!! Disgusting. read more

Ordered via UberEats and really enjoyed what we had. I had Pat's plate and wife had shrimp pho. Shrimp were huge and everything was very flavorful and traditionally served. The rolls and meat in Pat's plate was AMAZING. Great flavor and very tender. Will definitely order again. read more

I arrive 8:40 pm and restaurant was open, attended place may order and 5 min later came and say that my order needs to be to go bc they close at 9:00 pm. Worst service that I have ever seen they should close doors at 8:30 if they are on a rush read more

Austin Texas came through with a surprise for me. What a wonderful surprise in a chain restaurant. I almost didn't eat here. When I walked in it was set up like a Moe's restaurant. It didn't pass as a vietnamese place to me. I ordered my food at the counter, received my drink cup and found a seat. Got my soda from the machine and sat down . As soon as I sat down the spring rolls arrived. To my surprise they were definitely hand made. They were the size of a taco bell burrito. What an incredible amount and taste. My pho followed. OMG! To my pleasant surprise there was so much meat and noodles in my bowl. 1 size about a medium like I'm use to. Eye round,brisket,tripe and tendon in every bite. I ordered ox tail because I didn't think I would get enough meat. Boy was I wrong.The broth was to die for. Just the right amount . I actually finished the broth before the noodles and meat. Everything was so tender and melted in my mouth. Listen,I give 5 stars for food and service,about a 3-4 for those looking for a fancier setting. It really won't matter to you. Come to Texas and see for yourself. Enjoy read more

Used to like this place. But steadily gets worst. This is the final straw where they give me 2 burned porkchop in my togo order. They just put the burn side on the bottom... read more

PhoNatic - Round Rock - Vietnamese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

The service was great and the atmosphere was nice that was where the one star came. If I could post zero stars I would. The flavor of the pho broth was like water with a just a hint of beef seasoning in it, so it was completely tasteless. My boyfriend ordered the vermicelli bowl which also lacked flavor in that as well. Don't waste your money on this place and do some research if you want good pho places. There are some on Parmer or Lamar near the asian shops just go there instead. read more

Had a late lunch today. Girl running the register was rude and disengaged. The soda machine wasn't working, and they had almost nothing to chose from in the drink cooler. Would have been easy to run to HEB and get a bunch of canned soda to sell. Floor was dirty, the bowls provided for the toppings were super dirty and clearly not washed well, silverware wasn't clean either. Food was just ok at best. Won't be back. read more

Hair in my pho :((( absolutely horrified that I got so involved with the bowl before I found the hair. read more

We ate at Phonatic this weekend. For some reason they were out of lettuce! We are on a low carb diet and were about to leave. I took a chance and explained to the young man at the register that we couldn't eat rice, noodles or bread. He thought for a moment and asked if we liked zucchini. We said we did and he said we could get out vermicelli bowls with zucchini noodles. Yum! read more

Love their Veggie bowl. This is the place that turned me on to Pho in the first place. (Not to mention that it can be really hard to find a place that HAS a pho veggie bowl, to begin with. The Vietnamese really loves meat and meat sauces etc. (I went to one Pho place in Cedar Park that put's fish sauce on everything... including their sandwiches!) But I digress. The only reason I docked a star was because they didn't explain anything in my very first to-go order. I ordered the Pho and a Tofu plate. Everything came in pieces, nothing was together. I had no idea what went with what. I had a tub of veggie broth, two packets of vegetables, two giant tubs of other veggies with noodles at the bottom, a box of tofu and one ounce of dressing. I ended up going back to ask: "What??" The man behind the register explained it to me as if I was stupid and thus the star was lost. They did give me another ounce of dressing though, as the first one didn't go very far at all. read more

I'm surprised at the low star rating! I've now been here 5 times and I can say that the food is very consistent. Some of my faves besides the Pho are the Classic Spring rolls, Wonton soup and the Banh Mi Sliders. The service is always fast and the restaurant always appears very clean. read more

Ordered ox tail pho! WooHoo!! I'm so happy to have found a place that has my favorite. The broth was super good however, the ox tail was a huge disappointment. The meat was all fat and tough. Possibly an off day or just old from sitting there all day? Regardless, I believe in second chances and will give it another try. read more

Love PhonNatics!! I've visiting for years. Normally I get the Pat's Plate - which is probably still my favorite dish. Today, I opted for the Sara Bowl with extra shrimp. So good... My only rec is probably to slice the pork a little thinner. It's starting to get a little clumpy. Other than that a really filling, savory dish! I add a little hoisin sauce for a pop of sweetness and it's amazing! Also tried the Thai Tea for an afternoon pick me up. read more

Excellent, fresh ingredients and healthy choices make it an easy go-to favorite for us! We love the vermicelli bowls with marinated pork or chicken and veggies. Or if you're in the mood for Pho, the Eye Round has the most unique and comforting aroma and tastes delicious! Order a side of the egg rolls, you won't be sorry. They are crispy and delicious!! read more

Very good food. Service was friendly and very fast. Adoption to eating outside or inside. Will be back soon

We're not pho experts by anyone's standards but we do know what we like, and we do like this place. We've tried pho at about 6 different places and this place exceeds every place we've tried so far. My wife had a kid's wonton soup and it was very tasty. I really enjoyed a #10 washtub of filet pho, the meat was very tender and the broth had great taste....beef brothy goodness! I enjoyed a Vietnamese iced coffee and my wifey had the iced tea and shared one eggroll with me...everything was very good. I like the small condiments bar with sliced onion, pickled and fresh jalapenos and some other goodies like sliced limes....posted a few pics of the food, décor and a pic of smiling service provider. read more

PhoNatic presents an excellent concept in Vietnamese cuisine. Fresh high quality ingredients in a clean and modern environment. The Pho is some of the best I have had outside of Saigon or Hanoi. I believe the Filet Mignon Pho is the way to go if you want beef, however the brisket and oxtail are also great. All bowls are very large portions with plenty of meat and noodle. The spring rolls are fresh, although I would prefer them a little more tightly wound so they don't fall apart when I chomp on them! The Vietnamese iced coffee is also a great pick me up! read more

The broth is terrible. No flavor. I do no recommend ordering pho. The items that were not soup looked okay though.

I was hesitant to order from this place because the low reviews. I ordered ubereats and I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I got the egg rolls, brisket pho and grilled pork banh mi. All flavorful. Only negative was they didn't give me any sauces, lime or bean sprouts for the pho. Overall, good and I will order again. read more

Terrible customer service. Really terrible food. What a waste of money. Never going to back there again. If I could give them a negative star I would. So disappointed. read more

Everything was fresh and the restaurant looks clean. Lots of seating which is nice. Portion sizes seem on the small side in terms of the amount of meat that you get in each dish. I got chicken with rice, the wifey got a filet mignon pho and both were "light" on protein. We'll probably be back just because it is so close to the house and the quality of the food is decent. read more
