    Bun Bo Hue
    Icy E.

    We have returned here a couple of times. My sister says it has more depth of flavor. Our visits and customer service have been so much better. Today we both ordered the Bun Bho Hue. It was delicious but we detected some type of spice seeds we are not commonly used to having in it and were spitting them out onto a napkin frequently. The flavor of the broth was well seasoned.

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

    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.

    Ordered take out for the first time. Great service, ordered online and the staff was super prompt. Super super yummy and delicious! Ordered the beef pho and pork noodles and you need to get the fried calamari Can't wait for my next visit

    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
    TiAja G.

    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.

    Portion is awesome. Taste was a bit flat. We are use to longer developing taste in the broth. Tough to find good places in Macon

    The other reviews are true. Authentic Vietnamese food that can rival the good ones in California and Atlanta. Macon needs this!

    The only thing we would've changed is possibly ordering more because every dish was delicious?…read more Pork egg roll: Crunch, warm, and super tasty. The sweet chili sauce was perfect as well. Braised Wings: The crispy wings and sweet sauce are a must every time. Shrimp fried rice: The Shrimp was well seasoned and juicy. And the fried rice was flavorful, especially with a small splash of soy sauce. Pork Bahn mi: This was our favorite dish. The meat was sweet and tender, the bread warm with the perfect amount of crunch. It was a perfect sandwich. Chicken Curry: We're used to curry with rice on the side, so the noodles with broth was a nice change of pace. The chicken was falling off the bone and we drank every sip of the broth. Strawberry dragonfruit with peach popping boba was a great compliment to the savory dishes as well.

    Pho Viet is a solid option for pho in the area. I ordered the beef pho with the thinner sliced…read morebeef. The portion size was generous, and the service was fast and attentive as always. For me personally, the broth needed a little extra help from the add-ins (hoisin, sriracha, herbs, etc.) to really bring out the flavor I was looking for. Once adjusted, it was enjoyable. I will say prices seem to have gone up a bit, but you do get a decent amount of food for what you pay. Overall, it's a reliable spot when you're craving pho.
