Wow Pho & Grill — Restaurant in Georgia

We came here yesterday afternoon. We chose this place because of the reviews... We're avid Pho eaters, and it being a cold day, it seemed like the right choice. NOT!

We ordered the basil chicken wings for my daughter, chicken and rice for my son, shrimp spring rolls, spicy noodles bowl for myself, which was 1000000% horrible.. lacked flavor and tasted like lightly seasoned water.. I was so mad! We also ordered a rice noodles plate, and kindly requested to sub the rice noodles for fried rice.. Not trippin about an up charge if needed, because you know, it was a substitute..

The young man that took our order was not enthused about our request.. and kept insinuating it wasn't a good choice to make the change. It was like he couldn't comprehend our simple request, though there wasn't a language barrier..🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Finally after about a min of nicely trying to explain, we didn't want the rice noodles, and wanted to sub for the fried rice... He finally agreed to go ask if a substitute could be accommodated.. which it was.. with an upcharge of 3.99.. Cool. I NEVER had to negotiate a simple substitute..

The spicy noodles bowl was beyond flavorless, lacked substance, love, energy, and patience... lt literally tasted like oil,water, meat and a sprinkle of salt a and pepper. Chicken broth from the grocery store tasted better than this! For 101.00 you'd think you'd have amazing food, and better service.

Though it wasn't a horrible experience... But the back and forth between the waiter, the dry chicken on the rice noodle plate, and beyond bland soup.. We wouldn't...

I just ate lunch here for my first time. Wow indeed. I found the PHO to be tasty, and the shrimp spring rolls fresh and therefore not “chewy” as in some places.

They have “Americanized“ the food just enough to be palatable to the general Georgian, while still meaning the authenticity of what it means to be bona fide Vietnamese food. The menu items are printed conveniently in English, but they will certainly know what you mean if you want to order in Vietnamese, because they are Vietnamese.

The place is very clean, with an elegant decor. If you have never had Vietnamese food before, you will feel very comfortable here. If you have had Vietnamese food before, you’ll feel even more comfortable because the food is fantastic and won’t disappoint you. The service was friendly and prompt, without being over bearing.

More than a Pho Shop, they sport a full Vietnamese menu ranging from stir-fry, to vermicelli bowls, to rice dishes. I plan to have dinner there soon and try the latter.

For fans of “bubble teas“, they have a very nice selection of these as well, and mine was very tasty. If I had to nitpick, it was a bit on the small side.

I will definitely be coming back here, and I have a feeling they will get to know me well. And I don’t live close. It’s about a 20 minute drive for me, but well worth it.

Pricing was reasonable. Overall, I...

This place was welcoming and neat as a pin. The atmosphere was open but pleasant with themed music playing softly in the background. The menu was extensive and provided pictures as well as descriptions. The prices were fair and the food was good.

My wife and I shared the fried pork wontons with a spicy Asian sauce, a grilled pork bohn mi, and a large bowl of the pho with paperthin rare steak, sliced flank steak and meatballs with all the fixings.

The wontons were excellent and I wouldn't change a thing.

The bohn mi was good but sparse on the meat and vegetables. It tasted better after I added some hoisin and sriracha sauce but needed at least 1/2 again as much filling to fill the bread.

The pho bowl was huge (two people can easily share it). The broth was good on it's own though basic but became quite tasty after adding the fixings and using the tableside condiments (hoisin, sriracha and seasoning sauce...but no fish sauce was available) to dress it up. It had a very good portion of meat and noodles for its size.

The service was above average and either the owner or the manager (not sure which) checked on us in person during the meal.

Overall, I would give the place a 3.75 out of 5. It is good and I would definitely go back again but in my opinion, it could use a few tweaks to the broth and amount of sandwich ingredients to carry it...
