    N2. Rare Steak Noodle Soup
    Maximus C.

    I came here to get just Pho and came out with more this is a great place for Pho and more Vietnamese dishes. I personally recommend this place for anyone interested in Vietnamese cuisine. 1. Service was great we were seated in the back and we served fast but we were the only ones there and the restaurant was very appealing and more. 2. The food was amazing and the Rare Steak stew had a perfect balance between meaty and soy sauce and salty the Pork spring roll was good it reminded me of a salad and the drinks were good. 3. The overall experience was excellent and the Ambience was a good mix between Vietnamese and English but it was good overall I personally rate this place a 4.4/5 you should visit if you're ready for Vietnamese cuisine.

    N7. Shrimp Noodle Soup with B3. Thai Tea
    Gabrielle C.

    Got up this morning and said I was going to get some good pho today...well, nothing in Atlanta compares to Pho Lee. I drove all the way to Auburn from Atlanta on a random Friday morning for this meal and it did not disappoint! I graduated from Auburn in 2019 and I'm glad to see Pho Lee is still in business with the same owners some time later. Good service and good food doesn't change I guess. Everything is how I remember it down to the table cloths and the bicycle mounted on the wall lol but the food is the star I will continue to drive back to Auburn and visit for as long as Pho Lee is here. So worth the drive. Made my day!

    N5. Rare Steak & Flank Noodle Soup
    Ben F.

    I was in Auburn and my companion, and I decided to go to Pho Lee for dinner. What a great choice. The restaurant is in a strip mall. We were greeted at the door by the owner/manager, and handed us off to a hostess, who seated us immediately. The waitress immediately approached the table and took our drink order. We had a minute to review the menu and settled on the shrimp spring rolls and two bowls of pho. I ordered the meatball and steak pho while my companion ordered the steak. We also ordered two French Vietnamese iced coffees. The spring rolls were very tasty and fresh and the peanut sauce had a wonderful flavor. Interestingly, the wrappers were open ended with two good sized shrimp. The French Vietnamese iced coffee arrived shortly thereafter. I have had this drink in a number of places, but never served like this. The condensed milk was poured in the bottom of a clear glass with a miniature brew pot sitting on top. The hot coffee then sat on the condensed milk. It makes for an absolutely lovely layered presentation. Luckily, the owner saw my confusion and before I poured the concoction over ice, he suggested that I stir the condensed milk and coffee. Talk about fresh. The coffee had the usual depth of flavor and the little brew pot was neat. Our pho arrived fairly quickly. I ordered the regular size bowl and my companion ordered the small. I should have ordered the small as the regular was very filling. I can only imagine that the large would be meant for two or taking home leftovers. The pho was served with the usual side of bean sprouts, fresh herbs, and limes. The table also had a hot sauce and dark sauce so you could adjust the pho to your liking. I tinkered with the flavoring, but would have been fine with accepting it directly as served. There were plenty of meatballs and slices of steak in mine and just the right amount of noodles. The server did give us the option of using chopsticks or utensils and we chose chopsticks. When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty, but in nearly an hour around dinner time it filled quickly. The service was fast and efficient so there is unlikely to be a long wait. This was a delightful place and I have every intention of returning when I am back in Auburn.

    Love the food here! Comfort food. A big bowl of pho on a rainy day..... my dream. Service is great, parking is easy. This place does so much takeout business! Great food, they deserve it.

    V3. Grilled Pork, Egg Roll and Vermicelli Rice Noodles one of my favorites
    Nahyun K.

    I've been here several times and it never disappoints. The service is always good, the bathroom is very clean, and the food is always nice and fresh. I prefer the vermicelli dish here over any Vietnamese restaurants in the Auburn and Columbus area because their marinated pork has a really delicious, authentic taste. I love that they offer 3 different size pho bowls instead of the usual 2. Something I wish they did a little differently is giving more vegetables for the pho but it's probably due to shortage of food and inflation. Their spring rolls and fried egg rolls are definitely on the higher end in terms of price compared to Columbus pho places. I normally get about 5 fried egg rolls for the price of the 2 they give here. Overall, this is a place I'll continue to come and enjoy food! I highly recommend.

    Pork Bahn Mi Sandwich
    Kelsey L.

    Holy moly!!!! I've only ever had one Bahn Mi before so I don't have much to compare it to but this one honestly blew the other one I tried out of the water!! It was packed full of meat and the veggies on top tasted fresh. There are a few sauces provided at the table and I tried both of them on top and both were very good with it, but it honestly doesn't need anything extra. So much flavor!!! I'll be dreaming about this sandwich Service was great, too. It was busy but I was seated promptly and my order was taken and delivered in a good amount of time. It was also very clean inside. 100% would recommend!

    Pho-tastic!

I always get their pho & banh mi (pork) and this time I tried their fresh spring rolls and it was quite thin. It was delicious, but I don't think I'd get that again because it wasn't amazing compared to other spring rolls I've had. On the other hand, their pho and banh mi are so delicious! I always get their large pho and the broth is so good. They always give cilantro on the side which is nice for people who don't like cilantro in their pho. I love finishing my meal with Vietnamese coffee. Most of the time their coffee tastes burnt but the most recent time I went (7/16/2026) it didn't taste burnt !!! so I'm hoping it stays this way because it was extra delicious this day! Another thing I want to note is how attentive and friendly the servers are. From all the times I ate here, I never had any problems with the servers. If you are ever in Columbus, GA, do yourself a favor and go get some yummy Vietnamese food from Big Mama!

The Summer Roll was wonderful I was happy to see they had options to order without pork. The rice paper and all ingredients were fresh. The Beef Pho was exceptional. Great flavor and good temperature to enjoy. I appreciated that the menu allowed for some selection on the Pho. I hardly ever finish an entire bowl and appreciated that I could order a small serving. Also, although I ordered a small serving, it was more than enough and I still had to take some to go. Lastly, the iced Vietnamese Coffee was the best! Super strong and delicious!

I ordered the Lemongrass Tofu Vermicelli...which was $17.50. I have had this dish in several major cities on the East Coast including Philadelphia and Atlanta and this was the most expensive dish. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't follow the price. While the tofu itself was reasonably well cooked/seasoned, it didn't taste what this dish is supposed to taste like. The dish also didn't include fried spring rolls which is pretty standard so I ordered some. I should have clarified with the hostess because the spring rolls I received weren't fried but fresh spring rolls (summer rolls). In any instance, that is my fault for not clarifying, and while they weren't what I expected the summer rolls were tasty. While I wouldn't order the vermicelli again, I might return for the summer rolls and to try the pho since the reviews for it seem to be a bit better.

I arrived to pick up a DoorDash order and entered the restaurant without being greeted by any employee. I sat down, assuming that someone would eventually ask if I needed assistance. During that time, two separate groups entered the restaurant and were immediately greeted and acknowledged. Meanwhile, multiple employees looked directly at me and continued to ignore me. After waiting approximately 15 minutes, I finally received the order, but only after the customer I was delivering for called the restaurant. When the food was handed to me, I politely mentioned to the employee that I had not been greeted when I arrived, despite other customers being acknowledged right away. Rather than addressing my concern, the employee refused to give me the order and called over the owner or manager. When he asked what the issue was, I explained that I simply wanted to bring attention to the fact that I had not been acknowledged when I entered the restaurant. He responded by saying that he knew I was a DoorDash driver and that the food was not ready. I asked how he could have known I was a DoorDash driver if no one had ever greeted or spoken to me. Instead of answering the question, he asked if I was going to take the food or not and told me I needed to leave because he was tired of dealing with me. He then began raising his voice, insisting that my wait was due to the food not being ready. I repeatedly explained that my concern was never the wait time. I understand that food preparation takes time. My issue was that no one acknowledged me when I arrived. Without speaking to me, the staff had no way of knowing whether I was a DoorDash driver, a customer dining in, or someone else needing assistance. Despite my attempts to clarify my concern, I was again told to leave because he did not want to deal with me. What should have been a simple conversation about customer service and acknowledgment became an unnecessarily hostile interaction. As a result, I will not be returning to this establishment and wanted to share my experience.
