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.

This is my go to place for vietnamese. Hands down the best service. I come here every week and everyone gets to know your name. The taste of the food is amazing and everyone is open to suggestions. They have an amazing upstairs and outdoor area which i can image great for parties. They also do great entertainment for new years and chinese new year.

Went in to see a close friend that worked their, talked to the person at the counter and he said my friend would be a bit, he later on disrespected me by throwing my food and I swore at him once, after that he tackled me choke and slaped me. -1000/10 if your looking not to get attacked this is not the place to get food.
