Was David R at Phonatic a mag?
My wife and I had two wonderful meals at this great restaurant. We were greeted very quickly and the wait staff were all very attentive, polite and extremely happy. I had Pho Do Bien, a noodle seafood soup and my wife had Bo Kho, a beef stew. They were extremely tasty, light and hit the spot. Cannot recommend this restraunt more highly. View all feedback.

What Cara Muller dislikes about Phonatic:
Very overpriced and not an authentic Vietnamese dining experience!! if you want value for your money, you'd be better off at the restaurants around Hanson road. Plus, waiting time for take away rice for one person was more than 30 mins. Ridiculous? I'd say yes, for the quality of food that they served. View all feedback.
