    Yucky mushy tapioca pearls that were in my Thai tea. I poured the Thai tea into a separate cup & threw the pearls away.
    Eve L.

    We dined at Pho Cali in Macon for the first time a few weekends ago & it was good. I love pho & my favorite place is in Atlanta. When I'm in Macon & want pho, I'll dine at Pho Cali for a pho fix. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls & the oxtail pho. Both were good. There were several oxtails in the pho & they were meaty. I'd order it again, minus the meatballs. I didn't like the way the meatballs tasted. Also, the tapioca pearls were awful & mushy in my Thai tea. I would never order tapioca pearls in my Thai tea again from Pho Cali! Yuck!! The service was fine. The atmosphere was okay. The bathroom was clean.

    Nothing because I never got a menu.

    When I walked in no one said anything. 2 other people walked in after me and they were told that they can sit anywhere. They also received menus before I did. I had to call the restaurant in order to receive a menu. After 5 mins, I still don't have a menu. Below is what I ordered.....nothing because I never I got a menu. The lady asked if I wanted to move seats, uuummm no. I'm content. Just got a menu. Total it took about 20mins to get a menu. Okay, I left no one cake to take my order nor do I have drinks. Yikes. This restaurant may be great for some, but not for me.

    Estela was amazing! She ensured all our food was served hot and ready! Her service was amazing too. She created an ambiance in which we could eat in peace. We ordered the veggie pho and the oxtail and tenderloin pho. Both were incredible. We love this place! Highly recommend it for Vietnamese food!

    stopped here on my way to Savannah from Atlanta. We ordered the pho with brisket and the pork spring rolls. The pho broth was savory and rich. The spring rolls had delicious charbroiled pork in it with a delicious peanut sauce. Support your local small business!

    This is a decent little spot. Ended up coming across this place on Yelp, while we were wrapping up with our visit to the Macon museum down the road..so I figured we would give it a try. My review is based on other Vietnamese places around this part of town. I've been spoiled by Chamblee/Duluth area restaurants and when compared to the big guns, this place wouldn't hold up...but when compared to it's local competition, this place is high up on my short list of places that I would tell people to go. The Pho broth was darker in color than what I am used to getting from other places, but it was fatty, salty and aromatic none the less. All the veggies were fresh and crisp. Their meat variety was a little on the light side, but the quality of the meat they did have, was good. The fresh rolls were tasty...I think I've come to the conclusion that I really don't like iceberg lettuce. The taste of the lettuce was not doing it for me, and I would have rather had a leafy green or heck even a romaine...the meat was a little on the sweeter side-not a knock just an observation. Their peanut sauce is more hoisin than peanut butter. Will be back, sometime I'm in Macon.

    This small shop is in a strip mall. I had just checked into my hotel and was starving. Not wanting fast food chain I turned to Yelp and found this shop. My first disappointment was- it was closing in 10 min- they had changed times from 9 to 8. I could get food to take out but not eat in- There were 2 booths and a table of 8 still eating. I got my food to go. It got cold on the way back- only a 6 min. drive. I got coconut shimp appetizer- tasty but the sauce was bland (on the side) and I got a fav of mine at my local Vietnamese shop - vermicelli with pork, shrimp and egg rolls in it. Again the sauce was bland. Made me appreciate my local restaurant in Dunedin.

    Grilled pork sliced spring roll

    This restaurant is located on the edge of a shopping strip. I have been craving true Asian cuisine and was excited to try here. They specialize in Vietnamese food and the dishes I had were truly amazing. I had the grilled pork sliced spring rolls , beef tenderloin pho, and Thai milk tea. The spring rolls were delicious ! I was not expecting the sweetness of the meat but it was amazing none the less. The dipping sauce added another flavor element and I added sriracha which was in the table along side chili flakes, soy, sugar, oyster sauce, etc. I devoured these and wanted more but waited for my pho. The pho was mouthwateringly dynamic and flavorful. You can tell the broth had been made with live and over time. I loved the pho by itself but added sriracha, oyster sauce, and chili oil to add some heat and extra flavor. This only enhanced the quality of the dish. Not only was the broth amazing, but the meat was tender, the noodles were perfect, and the boat of bean sprout, mint, cilantro, and mine were fresh and made the pho all the more enjoyable. I am happy I found this gem and will be back to explore the menu more soon. If you're thinking about go here..: do it now ! I took my Thai milk tea with boba to go. It was creamy, sweet, and just how I like my Thai milk tea. The boba was chewy and well flavored.

    Stopped by on our way home from Warner Robin's and was not disappointed! Upon entering we were greeted and seated. The place is very clean and seating is spaced out. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. We ordered a large and regular size pho, R1.grilled pork rice dish, strawberry smoothie, and mango smoothie. Both with tapioca. Food was delicious and I was surprised at how fresh everything was! The pho was up there with my favorite pho spots. I could smell the spices from the hot and satisfying broth. Everyone gets their own serving of herbs. I asked for steamed sprouts and received just that. Did miss the basil and culantro that usually comes with pho which isn't included. The noodles were also a little overdone and breaking in the soup. But overall the broth made the dish and I wouldn't hesitate to order pho again from here. The rice dish we ordered came with broken Jasmin rice, pork chops, shrimp, eggroll, a fried egg, pickled carrots and daikon, lettuce, and cucumber. It also came with a fish sauce based sauce. This dish is THE dish that I'm most looking forward to ordering the next time we stop by. Not only did the dish look beautiful it was full of flavor. The pork chops were thin but not dry. I could actually taste the lemongrass in the marinade on the chops and that was a surprise to me. The smoothies were amazing. They actually had real fruit in the smoothies! The ultimate test was the avocado smoothie but they ran out so that will have to be for the next time we stop by. And there will definitely be a next time!

    Pork Bahn Mi - mayo was perfect addition and amount.

    See all

    Tokyo Alley

    (82 reviews)

    $$

    Tucked away in a alley off 2nd Street in downtown Macon. Tokyo Alley feels like one of those "if…read moreyou know, you know" kind of spots. Thankfully, it's just a short stroll down the alley and you're greeted by a quaint exterior that already sets the tone. We were in the area on a Saturday night, and decided to give this place a try. The restaurant was packed. Inside, the ambiance is intimate and cozy, perfect for date night or a low-key evening out. Despite its small size, they've managed to make great use of the space and accommodate a solid crowd without it feeling overwhelming. We didn't make reservations, and although the wait wasn't bad at all, we decided to order to go instead. The woman at the front was friendly, professional, and kept things moving smoothly while a constant stream of customers walked in as others were checking out. The menu is refreshingly simple. We started with the crispy shrimp roll appetizer, which was a hit. The sauce it came with tasted house made and paired beautifully. For our entrées, we both went with the stir fried veggies with shrimp in garlic sauce. I got mine with noodles and fried rice, while my husband went all in with double rice. The portions were generous, and the veggies were fresh and cooked just right. The garlic sauce, it didn't quite hit the flavor note I was hoping for. And the fried rice? A bit on the bland side. However, the cold noodles that came with my dish was surprisingly tasty (think angel hair pasta tossed in a creamy sauce that somehow just works). Unexpected star of the show. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the portions were solid, and the customer service was great. While everything didn't completely wow me, there's definitely enough potential here to bring me back. Next time, we'll come prepared, make reservations, dine in, and explore more of the menu.

    100% would recommend. Great food, great service. Super cool vibe. Loved it. I'd come back…read moreagain and again.
