Phonatic has a variety of dishes to please anybody. I love the street tacos and the rice bowl with tofu.
This is a restaurant but they told me they closed their kitchen 15 mins before closing which is 9p. Door was unlocked, they were still open. They would not serve me. Was there 8:55p and wanted a quick meal to go. But they refused me. Why even be open?
Pho is mediocre. Not much depth of flavour in the broth, also didn't come with much herbs in the side. Ok portion size. Served very hot which I like. Noodles were a bit overcooked, and the steak came precooked instead of raw in bowl, so it ended up being a bit overcooked. Food came fast though. Maybe come for the rice dishes.
Eat here often. Large portion sizes, fast service, clean dining area and very reasonable prices. Great take out.
Omg! Best pho place ever. Definitely my favorite in Austin. The wonton pho, tacos, tofu, egg rolls, and sliders are a must get. also love their thai tea! we have the best little date night here - all the food was fresh and wonderful, with amazing staff and service to top it off. They are so kind and welcoming ☺️ Phonatic is an absolute must while in Austin, and locally and family owned! ✨
Wanted something warm while I finished up shopping. Came by on 12.21.23 to check it out since I'm a big fan of pho and had never tried this spot. Place is very modern and they have a nice open, clean looking kitchen. I ordered the works and a hot viet coffee. Paid and took my seat and waited about 15 minutes for my food. The noodles and meat were very good, save the meatballs that had an unusual sourness. The broth was very bland as well. The restaurant was not attended to the entire time I was in there, (maybe 45 minutes?) So I was sitting next to a table with a wet sanitation tag and a chemical spray bottle the whole time. Lots of tables were very dirty as well. It wasn't until I stepped away for 5 minutes to use the restroom that I came back to find my meal and coffee had been cleaned up! Asked the nice lady at the register if she could prepare me another coffee at least and was told it would be about 10 minutes. I decided to opt for a refund instead. The restrooms were a disaster as well. The TP dispenser sat on the floor, instead of mounted to the wall In conclusion, there are better pho spots in the area, this was a big miss. Ill be following up in 48 hours if I have any issues with my refund
I order for pick up and they did not include lime, jalapeños, hoisin, sprouts or sriracha with my pho. There was also hardly any chicken. Didn’t notice until I got him and definitely did it feel like going back. Won’t order from here again.
We ordered the pho. Unless you enjoy eating lukewarm soup with raw old meat in it (soup has to be hot in order to cook the meat) I’d recommend to stay far away from this place. It was so gross and tasteless. Even after we added all the fixings, still gross. Stick to a mom and pop restaurant.

Wonderful food and clean restaurant!
