Good Food, Service. The ambiance is plain and simple in a quaint setting. They will need to expand space soon.

Update: since opening this establishment has gotten so much better. For decent pho, I recommend giving Pho Town a try.

It was a cold, dreary Monday. I wanted soup, specifically Chinese. Only the Chinese places we like are closed on Monday. Then I remembered Pho Town, a Vietnamese place. It was open. Only I've never eaten Vietnamese food. I dialed our cosmopolitan daughter who lives in Raleigh and has spots she likes. I was seeking advice, but she didn't answer. I ventured in, casting my fate to the wind. I asked an employee to talk me through the menu. She was very gracious and patient, but we did have a little bit of a communication gap; however, she repeated things for me. I went for the signature pho (pronounced "fu" and not the expected "fo") with chicken, cooked beef eye round, and marbled brisket. WARNING: The brisket is raw, but it comes in a separate plastic bag. When the kitchen door swung open once, I could see a rotisserie chicken in a plastic container on the prep table. I also ordered the steamed rice with grilled baby back ribs, and fried eggs. Also, the fish cakes appetizer. And finally, the Bahn Mi French sandwich special combo. It was a lot of food, but I wanted to make sure I had enough in case there was something we couldn't handle. While I was waiting, two regulars came in. They said they eat there often and everything is good. I felt more confident and assured. The sandwich was self-explanatory: two crusty pieces of bread with a flavorful filling. My husband ate most of it, leaving me a healthy bite. The bread was firm and crusty, and the filling had a kinda teriyaki taste, a little sweet and a little savory. I'd definite order it again. It requires no prep on my part. The employee had patiently explained what I'd get with the pho and the steamed rice, but she didn't really explain the assembly. So, I had to wing it. With the pho, I put the raw brisket in a bowl, topped with the cooked proteins, added the sticky noodles and poured the reheated broth over that. It seemed to poach the brisket nicely. Then i added the garnishes and a swirl of hoisin sauce. I don't know if this is the right way, but it was pretty tasty and a change of pace from our usual wonton. With the rice, which comes in a nice mound, I cut it in half (for us to share) and topped it with the baby back ribs (which were more like short ribs). I put half of the egg on top (not a good move, since it overcooked in the microwave and had to be cut with a knife). After I reheated, I swirled some of the slightly sweet sauce on it and garnished. Except for the egg, this, too, was good. My big epic fail was the fish cakes. They had cooled by the time we were ready to eat them. I nuked them. REALLY BAD MOVE. I had to stab mine with a fork and attempt to yank a piece off with great effort. Dried beef jerky is more tender. I take the blame on this. The speed with which I got my order was great--just a few minutes. (But my tutor did notice an item was missing, so she ensured it was included before I left.) I am grateful for her taking the time to explain things to me, but I wish she had given me a better explanation about the serving assembly. And don't think I'll order anything with chicken, since it seems to be rotisserie from Sam's Club. I've heard that pho is great for breaking up congestion. I had the sniffles and they did seem to lessen after a bowl of pho. I'll go back to Pho Town again with a better idea of what I'm getting and a clearer idea of questions I can ask. As for the pho loosening congestion, if we could only pour some over I-75 during jams and fix that, it'd be great. read more

I loved it! Broth was really good. Ordered the mixed beef pho. Would return again! Added the chili and hoseim saucEs.

This place was alright I got the pho oxtail and the wings. The only reason I gave them 3 stars is for the oxtail. I never seen oxtail that small in my life there was hardly any meat on the oxtail. The broth and toppings were good but I will never order their oxtails again. read more

Pho Town is a cute little Pho place with good food. The chicken pho and beef pho were both excellent. It's very customizable. The portions are huge. We couldn't even finish the medium bowl so coMe hungry if you want the large. read more

This place is awesome! The food was great! I love the fact that they have the spicy condiments on the table so you can adjust your level of heat. My only gripe was that they didn't have a separate area for their take-out customers. Some lingered around us as we ate. Other than that, I'd visit again, I'll just be more aware of my seating area. read more

The broth doesn't have flavor. It's just a bit too bland. Is above average price wise. I prefer vn pho in morrow. Don't feel like this compares at all. read more

My wife and son love this place! They enjoy several of their offerings. Prices very reasonable.

Seriously best pho I had in a long time. Reminded me about the small place in Ho Chi Minh where I used to go. The place is very clean, service is very nice and quick. And the Pho is just so ridiculously good... I'll be coming back while in Atlanta. Can't wait to try everything they have on the menu. Amazing. read more

Delicious Pho,wings and Bahn mi sandwich !everything was great and the service was super nice and quick ! Some the best Pho I have had in Georgia ! read more

Mehhhh. I wasn't as impressed as I expected to be. To me, the food was subpar. Additionally, they kind of messed up my order a few times although they did correct it relatively quickly. The venue is nice, cute, and quaint, the staff is very friendly, I just was not impressed by the food. I've had Pho numerous times, so maybe I was holding this place to the standard of a lot of restaurants I go to in Atlanta. But yea I probably won't be back. It was a delightful experience nonetheless. read more

This was the first time I ordered from this restaurant and I had the shrimp pho with beef broth and the fresh spring rolls. The spring rolls were kind of bland. I tried dipping it in the peanut sauce, but I still was not fond of it. The shrimp pho was very bland as well and the smell from the broth made my stomach turn. I tried adding more seasonings and some sriracha, but that did not help much especially since I could not get over the smell of the broth. Also, they only gave a little bit of shrimp. However, I did like the type of noodle they used. read more

Place and bathroom were clean asf, service was friendly as quick! Thai tea was on point and avocado bobba too yum

I like Pho town but the shrimp fried rice I got today was very mushy and not worth the price. Even the portion size was disappointing considering how much I spent. The pho and smoothies are good though. read more

Best pho in this area, worth price because it's authentic with a good selection of options. For Vietnamese food the only thing disappointing is that the side salad is butter lettuce without sauce but really everything else is so good. Rice cooked to perfection and every protein I've tried including the tofu is seasoned well read more

This place has horrible customer service and average pho. We placed an order for The Vermicelli with Grilled Cured Ground Pork. We didn't receive the egg roll or the shrimp it was supposed to come with. We called and was told that they would just remake a bowl if we didn't mind coming back. We said sure and was going to go back and pick up the bowl and leave a positive review as it relates to their customer service. 30 seconds later we get a call saying they were sure they made the order correctly. We explained that they did not and gave them our order to review. Then they said we ordered the wrong thing and it was our fault. We checked our order and receipt and we order exactly what we wanted off of yelp. It came with a picture a description and the price. We called back and informed them that we ordered correctly to see if they would amend the issue. He was insistent that my husband ordered incorrectly. I told him we had pictures from yelp, an order receipt, order number and I read the description of the item. I was then told that sometimes when you order off line the menu is different then whats in the store. I then asked how can you ever know if you are ordering what you want and he laughed as opposed to taking ownership. I was dumbfounded at the blatant lack of concern and care. I cant understand how we went from we will make you all another bowl free of charge to we don't care in 30 seconds flat. I told him to go check the menu on yelp and our order number and he did not care. I asked if he was willing to offer a partial refund considering we didn't get half our meat or the egg roll. He said he cant do that. I then said if this doesn't matter to you then fine. His response was "yeah, uh huh, I'm busy. Have a good day" We will never go back here. Whats wrong with people that they feel its okay to treat people any kind of way after they've taken your money. I hope others decide not to eat here at all. This was just blatant disrespect. We have to start hold businesses accountable for their lack of customer service. We will never go back. There should be a higher standard of customer service here in McDonough. read more

Love this being close to home! It's about time we had some good pho restaurants on the south side of town! It's hard to find it is an empty shopping center behind Dick's Sporting Goods, on the flipside no problems parking. Very clean interior very friendly people food is fantastic read more

Ok, first time trying vietnamese food and it was very good. The staff helped me to understand the different meals and combinations available, which really helped me. Very friendly and clean. I was about to make a big mistake and he stopped me, corrected me and I'm glad, it made all the difference. Highly recommend and if it's your first time, tell them, you will not regret it. read more

My family and I are always to try a new business that comes to McDonough and Pho Town is definitely a great addition! We got a pretty diverse selection and all of it was great! The bubble tea was also very good. The employees were super sweet and seemed genuinely grateful for our purchase. We will be gladly returning :) read more

I have eaten Pho all over. It was nothing super special but it was good. I only tried the Pho and Thai Tea but my portions were definitely fair. The service was good when I was there. read more

Love love love this establishment. The broth is everything here !!!!!!! I always get my meal to go food is always hot. Haven't been disappointed yet been coming now for the past six months. read more

I work in Decatur so I am surrounded by really good restaurants so believe me when I say Photown is great!! My son and I go there at least once a month. I even got my picky husband to try it. The people that work there are so nice and helpful. If you have never had Pho they will help you select a bowl and ingredients to put it in it. The food is incredibly fresh and the flavors are perfect. The reataurant is new and clean and decorared nicely. We love it and I thiink you will too. Oh, and have Thai tea when you go. They make really good Thai tea it's not too sweet. read more

Awesome meal! I really like that I could chose beef, chicken or vegan broth. The add ins were fresh and plentiful. The service was prompt and very friendly - do yourself a favor and check them out! read more

Very attentive clean respectful delicious home cook meal!! First time eating here and I am glad I made the decision to dine in instead of ordering take out. Such a warm invite in. read more

Tried this place for lunch today and I had the special combo pho. Not everything was available from the menu. It was tasty, but I thought they skim on the meat in the pho. Other restaurants have more ingredients(meat) in their special combo pho. If they want to stay in business they need to go to Pho Dai Loi restaurant and compare the ingredients in the pho. I will give it a few weeks and return and see if they have improved on their pho. read more

Clean, courteous, well staffed, and amazing food. One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Well worth the 930 mile drive from Texas! read more

Unfortunately, I will not be returning. The food is flavorless and the menu is confusing. It was a big bowl of mint tasting bland food.

My wife and I were quite please with the food , atmosphere and service. Some type of sticky sweet rice dessert would have been a plus.

It's a nice, quaint place. Good to have on a cold day or any day. I can never complete a bowl by myself.

Finally a pho place closer to home! Tried it for the first time today to try the noodles and it was wonderful wish it came with a bit more meat but that is my preference :) the soup broth tho :) pretty good! read more

Oh no, they certainly overprice their prices for the portions of their food. First off I seen they now have a BAKERY? They buy from another shop and sell for more money, like seriously you can see it on the package. Sweet tea poured from a gallon from walmart charged $2 a cup and their boba are just iced filled with a price tags of $5. My cup of "Vietnamese Coffee" had literally an inch filled of coffee and the rest filled with ice and was seen shaken up just to make the cup look full for nearly $5, don't be fooled. Pho portions 1/4 meat and 3/4 noodles, sticking with my pho shops up north. disappointed. read more

Very good food, they are fast and efficient. would have gave 5 stars but one lady had a complete attitude towards us. idk if she was having a bad day but it wasn't very welcoming .. read more

I love this place! It's the first time I've tried Pho and have to come here at least once a week now. Great food and great customer service! I live in Covington and come out of my way to eat here. read more

Pho Town - Vietnamese Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

First we tried ti call our order in on both their numbers listed. Either it was turned off or they kept sending it to voicemail, so that already was a sign. Secondly, I had put in my order for the three meats and spring rolls. Well got my order looked at the first to go box and saw it was the fresh spring rolls instead of the fried egg rolls, went back and asked to change it. Of course they kept telling me "you ordered it"! Ok.... It was a mistake I want the fried ones but I didn't feel like arguing so I took it. Got home saw my meats and it was sad. They cut the meatballs in half so it looked like a double order then they forgot my second meat on my other order. So to say it will be a minute before I come back here. read more

Loved this Pho! Service was great and pho was great! As a new place in McDonough, I was hesitant but glad I went and went back a second time too! Recommend! read more

Love Pho Town! I adore the staff. They are always kind when I come in. The broth is very savory in my opinion. The fresh veggie rolls are my absolute favorite. I can't wait to go back. read more

Compair to another Vietnamese Pho, this is not good, try Pho Dai Loi at forest park and VN pho, you will see what the difference, thanks

Super tasty. Took my grandparents for their first Vietnamese experience and they enjoyed themselves. Quality food and good service.
