The Tastiest Vietnamese in Atlanta

"I've only tried this place once, but it's probably in my top three Vietnamese restaurants I've tried in the Atlanta area so far. The quality of the food was excellent even for take-out. My mom and I tried the rare steak, well done flank, and brisket combination pho, the grilled pork báhn mì, and the spring rolls. Everything was very tasty and fresh! We would reorder everything we tried. I can't speak on the in-person service or ambiance as this was a delivery order, but I would definitely recommend the food. Everything was well-portioned - plenty to share or for leftovers, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Give them a try if you haven't yet."

"My sister and I came here on a Friday night to find the establishment pretty full. Even so, we got seated right away as well as a set of menus. Since we knew what we came here for, looking through their extensive menu was pretty straightforward. Shortly after, the same gentleman who sat us came to take our order of 5. Pho with all the fixings and Bun Bo Hue Style noodle soup. What was nice about their menu is the pho had pictures and names of the types of meats offered in the soup. Promptly after ordering, he came with our side of vegetables which was bean sprouts, cabbage, jalapeños, dandelion leaves, Thai basil, and slices of lemons as opposed to limes that I'm used to. I was in love with both soups but would have appreciated a stronger lemon grass taste from BBH. Pho toppings included the rare steak, soft tendon, tripe, and marbled steak. BBH toppings were pigs feet, liver, Vietnamese ham, and thick slices of beef, I believe. What would have made it better would be some extra chili oil to give it an extra kick. Overall, we had a great experience. Service was incredibly fast but they were still so nice to us. I really don't think you could go wrong with ordering either soup and I'm so interested in trying their other dishes. We ordered medium sized which was perfect for my sister and I, including all the broth. Everything tasted very authentic so I'm happy I came across this place. I would love to come again!"

Le Colonial - Atlanta

★★★★☆ 4 (529) • $$$

"I'd been anticipating coming here for a while, but in all honesty it didn't live up to the hype. Many influencers and top Atlanta "foodies " rave about this restaurant. It's located in the Buckhead Village District. Valet parking is available.The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the decor is simply stunning. It's described as an upscale French-Vietnamese restaurant. I made reservations prior for lunch and was seated quickly. My server greeted me promptly. I ordered the French Kiss for my cocktail. It consisted of rye, hibiscus herb honey, yuzu liqueur, orgeat and elderflower. It was well made and delicious. To eat, I ordered crispy shrimp and pork rolls, ribs and fried rice. The food was good, not great. The fried rice in particular lacked flavor, but I requested chili sauce which helped quite a bit.I honestly was expecting to be blown away, but this was not the case. The food was fine, but nothing outstanding. On the other hand, the customer service was excellent."

Pho Bac

★★★★☆ 4 (489) • $

"Made another visit. This time we had bowls of pho. Maybe this is what I should've ordered during my meals here because the pho broth, one of the most flavorful coming directly out of the kitchen (without me adding any other toppings) has become one of my favorites out of all the other pho houses we've gone to recently. I was also amazed at the generous amount of meat and anything else that you order that they put in the pho. I guess that kind of justifies the higher prices found at Pho Bac.The service kind of confuses me because employees are attentive to customers up until they serve the food. They acknowledge customers quickly, seat them quickly, take their orders quickly, and serve their food within a decent time frame. After that, however, customers have to flag them down for anything and everything else because they don't check on you unless they're prompted. So if you need drink refills, have any questions, or want your check, you have to flag your suddenly inattentive server down. Although they'll bring your check to you at the end of your meal, the servers won't take your payment. Customers have to walk to the register to pay."

"We tried to come here one Friday night a month ago and it was too packed to consider waiting! We learned our lesson: on "peak" nights, go early! When we came back a different Friday right after opening there was no wait, but it fills up quickly.So Ba is a cool spot, with a nice focused menu with all the standards. We had the vegan spring rolls, and the bun (vermicelli bowl) with egg rolls/pork/shrimp and my dinner buddy had the broken rice with tofu. Everything was tasty, the bun was a very solid version of the classic. I wish the order of spring rolls included more spring rolls (especially for the price). The drinks here are good, and pretty strong! Can recommend the bourbon honey and the bee's knees."

"Stop by for a dinner break as we were heading home. I opt for the Bo Kho with the bread. I've had better elsewhere. The bread wasn't baked well and it wasn't crispy or hot how i liked it. The soup was a bit bland, but there was a lot of meat. Service was okay. They do offer an extensive menu of Vietnamese dishes."

Vietvana Pho Noodle House - Avondale

★★★★☆ 3.7 (314) • $$

"While being on a kick for delicious Vietnamese food, this place is closer to us and one that we have visited often for pho. I like how I can understand what's in the broths for the pho. They offer lots of options, but if you want something besides pho, they have it. The other nice thing is that you can get it delivered. while that's not how I recommend it, sometimes, you just don't feel like sitting in a restaurant. It is kid friendly too and a great place to introduce kids to different foods."

"It was a very cold night and was craving something warm and comforting. We frequented this place when we lived in Midtown. There are other Vietnamese restaurants in the city but we liked this one. With that said, you do pay for city prices when dining here.Looks can be deceiving but there are more tables in the back past the kitchen/counter area. We opted to sit by the door since some tables had a reserved sign and some tables were left dirty and not bussed. We came during busy hour as they had tons of people coming in and out for their online pick up orders. It didn't take very long until we were greeted by the server to give us our water. He came back 5 mins after and placed our order of butter stone eggplant, grilled pork vermicelli bowl and combo pho. We waited maybe 20 mins after getting our eggplant appetizer. It was crispy with a sweet sauce - think Mongolian beef without the rice crispies and made with eggplant. We waited for 20 mins after that and our meals arrived. The kitchen must have been chaotic since people who ordered after us got their meals before we did. Thank goodness we ordered an appetizer though. My grilled pork bowl came with tons of rice noodles and shredded lettuce and carrots with a good amount of grilled pork and egg roll. I asked for extra nuoc mam and the server came back a few minutes after with that. My husband ordered a combo pho but he never got the sauces or side of veggies that pho is typically served with. Customer service that night was definitely lacking since they were very busy. We had to track down our server so we could pay. Our total bill for the night was around $40. Parking: park at the Viewpoint deck to get validated parking. We didn't realize where this was until leaving the deck since we would walk here before"

Pho Dai Viet Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (231) • $$

"Ordered from Ubereats. We ordered pho ga medium bowls with grilled pork spring rolls. They had a buy one get one deal with the spring rolls. They were all very tasty. The pork was actually grilled which I appreciated. The pho selection was based on size, medium or large and a choice between broths (chicken, veggie and beef). The pho definitely quenched my pho craving and perfect for a rainy Spring cool afternoon. The packaging was in a microwaveable bowl with separate packaging for the broth. The veggies were packed in nicely. One thing to note, their jalapeños were hot! I absolutely loved and appreciated that. It was all yummy."

"Another Atlanta hidden treasure. This has to be in my opinion the best pho in Atlanta. Tucked in a little strip you step into plenty of open seating but there is always someone up front to greet and seat you. Menu has plenty of choices of ready to go pho or build your own bowls. If you are paralyzed on decision making you cannot go wrong with the ready to go bowls. But you are eating pho! Be adventurous! You can always add extra meat to any bowl, prices are listed separately. Food comes out piping hot and I never leave unsatisfied. And for the amount of food for the price it's the best value in Atlanta by far. And if you know you know. Highly recommended."

Pho Dai Nam

★★★★☆ 4.4 (185) • $$

"Y'all. I finally have an answer for when people ask me for the best pho in Atlanta. Hands down, my vote is for Pho Dai Nam. Ok, listen. I've been here a handful of times and almost every single time I've ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt. I usually don't order this at other pho restaurants but this place does it so well I can't refuse. We are talking about the perfect ratio of soup / meat / noodles. Speaking of meat, they are very generous with their meat servings even for a small order. The noodles are thick and delicious, not the el cheapo kind you find at most pho places. This place also doesn't skimp on vegetables and they also include a side of their house specialty hot sauce with your bowl. The house hot sauce really brings everything together. In my visits, I've tried the following:- Gỏi Cuốn (2): Fresh Spring Rolls with Pork & Shrimp- Bánh Bèo Chén: Savory streamed rice cake w/ shrimp- Phở Đặc Biệt: House special combination- Bún Măng Vịt: Duck & Bamboo Shoot Vermicelli Noddle Soup- Nui Xào Bò/Tôm: Rice Macaroni Stir-fried with Beef or ShrimpEverything is delicious! I honestly can't say I've ever had a bad dish here. I also love the cleanliness of the restaurant. Like most Asian restaurants, service is quick - I oftentimes can come during lunch and not be pressed for time. Pho Dai Nam remains one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants since I discovered it a couple of years ago. If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for?!"

DUA Vietnamese Noodle Soup

★★★★☆ 4.3 (161)

"It is consistently delicious and fairly priced. I never end up leaving hungry or unsatisfied. Though It would be cool if they had a lunch special. Service is fast, excellent and very thoughtful. Inside has plenty of seating. Comfortable chairs and natural of lighting with big open windows. What you do is order first at the counter and they give you a table number to find you when your food is ready. What I normally order is the combination house pho, spring rolls, grilled pork banh mi, and shaking beef. -house pho: combo of all the meats. So much variety and noodles. SOO good with tasty broth. I add a little extra salt -spring rolls have pork and shrimp. The pork is seasoned and grilled. Different but I love it! Filled with herbs and noodles too -pork banh mi: yummy grilled pork but I will say the size could be bigger for $10 and the bread.. not sure if it's store bought or purchased at a home made place. Definitely not made in house-shaking beef: comes with pickled veggies and noodles! I normally like it with riceThe flavor is spot on and the portions are perfect. I enjoy my visits and all the staff takes care of every guest with care every time. I love the smiles I get from my boyfriend and family When I bring food home from here. Officially a regular!"

"I am addicted to the food here. Everything is good. The lemongrass chicken is the only thing that I didn't like but that doesn't so mean so much that it isn't a quality dish just that I didn't like it. The wings! Yes! Grilled pork banh mi?! Yes!! Pho?! Mmmhmmm? Yes! Vermicelli bun?!! Yes!!! See what I mean?! Shrimp appetizer fried egg roll things?! Yes!!! Also cute patio seating and robot service inside. A million things to love about this place. I often find Groupons and they accept them with no issues. Go. now."

"This is a banh mi and pho shop located in a strip mall area with ample parking.There's several tables indoors. We ordered our banh mi to go. I had the grilled pork sandwich and it was good. The bread was toasty and the pork was good. It wasn't the best banh mi I've had but it was good. I also had their taro slush with boba and it's okay, almost bit too sweet. I did also try their banh mi dac biet which is the classic sandwich and itWas actually better tasting than the grilled pork sandwich, hence the 4 stars rating.Service was friendly. I didn't try the pho but perhaps next time when we are in the area."

"Y U M M Y!Be Banh Mi is excellent. I think this place trumps Quoc Huong in my book. Contemporary, excellent service, and much cleaner. The prices here are a tad higher than its competitor; however, the banh mi wrapping and clear labels make a huge difference. * Grilled Pork Banh Mi ($5.39/regular): My go-to order. Their pork is very flavorful. The banh mi itself is significant. The workers here don't skimp out on the proteins, which is a huge plus!Tip: Ask for veggies on the side if you're not eating the sandwiches immediately. Overall, the banh mi is super tasty. My new go-to spot now. Service and quick and staff are very friendly here. Love it!"

"I came here a Friday afternoon and traffic busy but parking was not hard to find. I parked on the residential street and walked one block to the venue. I know there is parking for the shops and restaurants that were closer but I took the first spot I saw.I did like that the restrooms were gender neutral. Both were single stall so it makes it easier to pull off but I know this means a great deal to many people.The inside of the bar has soft lighting and simple decor. The bar upfront is a nice touch. The tables on the inside are ideal for dates but can easily be put together for larger parties.The outdoor patio is a sight to behold. The outdoor patio can be enclosed in plastic for bad weather. The patio has plenty of plants. The outdoor patio seems to be set up for larger parties. This makes sense since large parties can be pretty loud and having them outside will not bother the inside guests.The first thing I ordered was the Egg Noodles with Chicken and Beef. It is a very tasty meal and quite filling. I was pleasantly surprised by all the vegetables that put in the dish. The Owner (David) is a good guy. He stopped by to make sure I was enjoying myself and liked the food. I asked him for recommendations and he mentioned the Salt Pepper Wings. Staff is really nice as well. The waitress ordered me some hot sauce on the side and that cup of sauce is packed with heat and flavor. I even poured some sauce on the noodles.Everything tasted great. I want to return when they have live music."

"Came here with the fiancé and in-laws. Everyone was surprise by the interior and how modern and bright it was. Definitely not your typical Vietnamese restaurant. Good amount of space with multiple booths and long central tables for large groups. You order by the bowl of noodles then by the amount of chicken you want (quarter, half, or whole). They do have option of having chicken already in the pho but our server encouraged us to order it separately because it tasted better.Pho noodles were thin which I loved. You can also get thicker noodles too. Broth was clean and flavorful. Chicken itself was fresh but could have used more seasoning. I really enjoyed the ginger fish dipping sauce, a classic for chicken pho. Expect to spend about $10 per person. Bowl of noodles by itself with broth was almost $6. A quarter chicken was $8 and a half chicken was $14. You can get a plate of gizzards (heart, liver, other organs) for about $6.My in laws who are super traditional didn't like it at all. They thought broth lacked flavor and the chicken was bland. So be wary of that if you're wanting to bring your Vietnamese elders here.Otherwise, I thought it was a tasty option on a cold, rainy day when I don't feel like cooking chicken pho but craving some."

"Ordered their BBQ pork banh mi and also got to try my friend's shrimp vermicelli bowl. Out of the two, I would certainly come back for the vermicelli since it was a hefty portion and tasted fresh, bright, and delicious. The sandwich wasn't bad but prefer the pork to be sliced as opposed to almost grounded. Something also seemed to be missing that would have elevated it further, maybe scallion oil or vietnamese pâté? Anyways, I would come again to try more from their menu!"

"Thanh Thanh has officially back up for business y'all. After speaking to the owner, we found out they took the whole family back to the motherland that's why they were closed for so long. my family was sadden when we thought they shut down for good. The day we went back, we ordered a whole fish and the Vietnamese bbq. Mind you it was only my sister and I and we were eating like there was no tomorrow. All the herbs and vegetables was so fresh and their Che was so so good. Please be mindful that this is a family owned restaurant and they're super short staffed so don't get on their back about the service. They do put grass on the ticket due to our own people are very cheap when it comes to tipping. If you want to try more of an authentic Vietnamese food, this place is the place for you. Until next time!!! Peace"

Vietvana Pho Noodle House - Ponce City Market

★★★★☆ 3.6 (39)

"While spending some time, on a cold day, at PCM we decided to get Pho. We stopped by Vietvana and I ordered the veggie broth based pho with tofu. I loved that the tofu was fried. The flavor of the broth was really good. The only constructive criticism I have is that I would have liked some vegetables in the pho. The tofu pho came with noodles, jalapenos and onions. Some broccoli, carrots, etc. would've been nice. Additionally, this pho did not come with the traditional pho toppings: bean sprouts, basil, etc. I would definitely return if at PCM."

"Hey there,Official Vietnamese-American repping the Asian delegation here. (Chapelle show reference, FYI.) Would I drive across town to eat at Dua II? Would I bring my angry, yet very loving and hard-working refugee mother there if she visited me? No. But if I worked Downtown and wanted to eat Vietnamese, I would consider eating at Dua II often. Things to know:*****I. LOCATION & PARKING: Their stand resides inside of Sweet Auburn Market, near a soul-food and juice stands. About parking, Sweet Auburn Market has a lot, but finding a spot can be difficult at times.II. FOOD & DRINK: They focus on mainstream Vietnamese fare ranging from your standard egg rolls and spring rolls, several different iterations of pho, com (rice dishes), and bun (tapioca + rice) noodle iterations. Don't expect to find any street food or cafe sua (da) there. My suggestions:===Not Recommend===*Eggrolls ($3.25): Filled with ground pork meat and other fixings their egg rolls lack key ingredients such as daikon, carrot, shiitake mushroom, and bean thread. Even if they did use these ingredients, though, then I don't taste them. Also, the size of them resemble Chinese egg rolls (smaller), so they don't seem authentic to me. I have no major qualms with their fish sauce, though.===A-OK===*Spring Rolls: Not bad. It comes with slices of pork and pieces of shrimp, and it's complemented by herbs and noodles all wrapped in a rice paper. The spring roll itself could be wrapped tighter. Regarding the sauce, it's a peanut one mixed with hoison sauce. Not bad. But not something I would go out of my way for, though. *Spicy Lemon Grass Tofu w/ Rice ($8): I need more lemongrass in their tofu, and I think the sauce they have (which seems like an altered oyster sauce) overpowers everything else. Accompanied with a cup of rice and helping of veggies, it'll just do enough to satisfy your inner vegan.*Beef Pho ($8.75): This pho caters to non-Asian folks (and that's fine). And, as a person who both cooks pho and has high standards for it, it's passable. The broth lacks layers of umami, but it does have an appropriate ratio of spices and savoriness. The slices of brisket taste fine, but it needs more accompaniments (slices of onion, scallions). They could also include culantro, too. ===RECOMMEND===*Bun Bo Hue ($8.75): I could say similar critiques about their bun bo hue similar like I did with their pho, but I like their bun bo hue. Aside from street vendors in Vietnam, I haven't found many places that serve bun bo hue this quickly (without sacrificing TOO much quality). Yes, I wish they added more spice, a pork foot, and banana blossom, but I would eat this regularly if I worked nearby.*Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio ($8.95): Their marinated meat is delicious, and it reminds me of Vietnamese potlucks I used to hit up as a shorty. They provide a generous amount of food, too. III. SERVICE: A bit slow, but they're a lot faster than other stalls in Sweet Auburn Market. I found the person taking my order very friendly and helpful, too.IV. PRICES: A substantial lunch for under $10? Yes, please. Sure, they're a few cents more than other Vietnamese restaurants, but authentic Vietnamese eats rarely break the bank. V. OVERALL: A fast-casual Vietnamese stops in one of Atlanta's premier Downtown institutions appealing to non-Vietnamese audiences? I can support that. And I would more often if I worked Downtown."
