That is surprisingly not round.
Potato Shaped :) https://www.planetary.org/space-images/color-view-of-phobos-from-mars-reconnaissance-orbiter
Is the other moon less potato?

I don’t know. That still looks pretty potato. But in another post on this com there’s Deimos passing in front of the sun and it looks from a distance somewhat more spherical I suppose.
It's orbit is further out so it looks smaller and rounder
