Always have loved this spot but the prices have really hiked over the past year... $22 for just a vermicelli dish and $23 for pho. Likely won't be a regular visitor anymore. Otherwise nice ambiance, service, and great flavor as always. read more

District III is located in a prime spot with plenty of foot traffic. I was eager to try this place as I expected great things from a place in the same "district" as rumis, south kitchen, etc. The menu is filled with Thai and Vietnamese options which I thought was an interesting choice. I usually opt for Pho or Vermicelli whenever trying a new Viet restaurant. Was surprised to not see a pork option for the vermicelli. So I moved on from that option and landed on Nam Tok (beef salad), but upon asking the staff if it came with rice (how id usually eat beef salad at home) they told me it's a salad and isn't ate with rice. In an awkward couple of seconds I panicked and chose pad Thai. In the end my table ended up with fresh spring rolls, pad Thai and panang Curry. Overall, the food was good, but nothing you can't get anywhere else cheaper and similar quality. The fresh spring rolls did stand out though. I'm not sure if they steam the rice paper or what but it was super soft and probably close to the best Ive had in Atlanta. The staff was nice and attentive and the place does look great overall. With a surplus of options in the area I'm not sure if I would visit again considering the phenomenal Vietnamese and Thai restaurants in Atlanta. Worth a try if you're cravings desire and you're in the area but any other time I would recommend a visit to Buford Hwy or Duluth. read more

I'm a little confused why this is listed as a Vietnamese place when the majority of the menu seems to be Thai minus a couple of bowls of pho. The food overall is okay but super overpriced, as is expected of any restaurant in/around the Avalon. The service is super nice and the manager was walking around all night making sure everyone was doing well. My husband loved his crispy basil duck, and I took him for veteran's day so I did not tell him his dish was almost $35 I kind of feel like this restaurant might be having an identity crisis and wants to do multiple Asian cuisines without really mastering any of them. They are also very protective of their rice and give our pretty small bowls of it lol. Plating is nice and everything seems upscale but isn't. The tofu pad Thai was a mixed plate for me, I felt the tofu was awesome but the noodles themselves were too soggy and clumpy. I think it would be wiser to save your money and get take out from a local Thai place next to a grocery store or something on that level. read more

We visited District for my Bday Dinner! We were craving Thai & a nice ambiance. During the week the restaurant is fairly quiet! Our waiter & hosts were very nice! I ordered the Massaman Curry without the cashews and my Fiancé ordered the Drunken Noodles! Both were very very tasty! However, I wish I had ordered the drunken noodle lol. Lots of Flavor and a nice portion size! The Massaman was good, just not as flavorful as the noodles. Our waitress was very attentive & informative about the different dishes my Fiancé was interested in & helped him make a very good decision lol. Overall, District is very tasty. I would go back for the Drunken Noodles & possibly other dishes on the menu. However, the prices for their food are rather high compared to other thai restaurants we're used to & I'm assuming it's dur to being located in The Avalon. No biggie! There were no cons! read more

We've known about this restaurant in the Avalon for some time and finally got to try it!! We will certainly be back many more times. I was extremely impressed with the food and service. Our waitress, Annie, was super sweet and kept the refills coming. We tried a number of different dishes on the menu. The dishes we ordered were the Massaman Curry with Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles with Chicken and Pad See Ew with Chicken. All entrees came smoking hot and freshly made with great flavor. I was very impressed! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone of all ages. read more

After a long day of shopping we decided to stop by District III for a quick bite. We ordered the chicken fried rice, papaya salad, eggrolls and their crab dip. Skip the papaya salad here, this is probably the worst I've ever had. The chicken fried rice was good but the crab dip was delicious. The service was pretty mediocre. read more

Checked out District III in the Avalon for a weekday dinner recently. They were a participant restaurant in the date night at the Avalon. So for that they had a limited menu of items for us. We decided to go with shrimp rolls for an appetizer that came with a sweet chili sauce. That was really good! For my entree I got the District III steak. It was really good and came with a Thai sauce and sticky rice. I had enough to take home. For desert we got the sticky rice mango which was so good! The customer service was really good and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu! read more

The pho is delicious and the lychee martini is even better! They do not skimp out on the meat in the pho. I love the aura of the place. It's classy yet inviting.

Good food for dinner: basil spring roll appetizer w/Pho & green curry entrees; service was good also but a bit on the slow side read more

No greeting or follow up...ordered the District III steak and papaya salad and all were terrible! It was not as pictured and it look like a fajita instead- with chewy, overly-cooked beef with no flavor of char or seasoning. The sauce tasted like water. Papaya salad had one flavor: sweet. They are missing lime and spices....this speaks nothing of Vietnamese cuisine. We will not return or dare recommend this to our worst enemy. Not to mention this meal is overpriced and they gave us less meat than indicated on the menu. read more

If this restaurant wasn't located in the Avalon it would probably have struggled to stay busy. We ordered a good number of appetizers and all of them were mediocre at best. Just look at the salt and pepper shrimp.....undercooked. Crab fried rice was probably the only dish that was slightly better than average. Overall all dishes lacked flavor and almost all of them were predominantly more sweet than savory. Most disappointing Vietnamese food I've ever had. Service - 3.5/5 Food - 3/5 Ambience - 3/5 read more

Stopped by after a little retail therapy to enjoy a light lunch at District III. We started with cool cocktails and ( served hot) appetizers. The Walnut shrimp served with candied walnuts on chopped lettuce is wonderful. Just wished more of the sauce hit the lettuce. Plus a nice shredded lettuce instead of chopped makes for a beautiful presentation. The second appetizer was the shrimp and pork egg rolls. Hot crispy and very tasty when dipped in the light sauce. Excellent choice as a starter. The Entrees we selected were the Shrimp in garlic sauce over noodles. The sauce was light and very garlicky. The shrimp were perfectly pink. Then the D3 pad Thai spot on with the sweet sauce, crushed peanuts and bean sprouts plus egg. The location is wonderful, the ambiance beautiful. The staff was very friendly. Bring your patient especially if you have kids the food does not come out super fast. But when it does it is so worth the wait. We truly enjoyed our meal and hope to bring others back with us. read more

My review is based solely off of takeout. I never dined in the actual restaurant I got the roti, shrimp egg rolls and shrimp garlic noodle. The roti was okay but small for $5 that Doordash had starved for it. Egg rolls were the best part of my order. Tasty and not too greasy The garlic noodle is where I struggled. For my taste, I didn't enjoy it. They did not skimp on the garlic at all - that was all I got. It overpowered any other kind of flavor that the food had. There was no spice at all too, so that didn't help. I'd definitely try to visit the restaurant and try other things off the menu! @featuringabi on IG read more

The service and inside was amazing! My waiter was nice and made sure everything was good. The inside of District III is SO pretty, and is very instagramable. However, I expected better for my food. Compared to other Pho places, there was more grease and was not as seasoned as I preferred. I think if I had ordered something else, I would've had a different opinion. read more

District III - Pho Filet Mignon - Vietnamese Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Cute little restaurant at the Avalon. Not your typical Vietnamese spot though. The food was more Asian fusion. Everything was okay. The pho was not good and it was expensive. The broth could have been more flavorful and the noodles was hard. The fish sauce for the spring rolls was very light. The spring rolls were a good size though. The drunken noodle was good but too spicy to enjoy. Vietnamese coffee felt like it didn't have enough condensed milk in it. The fish sauce wings was okay as well.. needed more flavor. Service was good, our server was there for refills and everything we need. The food was just lacking some seasoning. read more

I like the flavor of their foods, but I feel like it's a bit overpriced for their portions (I'm looking at you, seafood clay rice bowl). The egg roll appetizer was good, but I wished they would've used the leafy parts of green lettuce so we could better wrap our eggrolls instead of the tough parts of lettuce. I actually think this place is more of a 3/3.5, but considering there aren't too many Vietnamese restaurants in the area and this place does have quite an extensive menu, I'll bump it to a 4. read more

Came here for lunch during the holidays shopping season and came in with a group of 8. The waiter we had was juggling another large table so it took a while to take our order, get our drinks, but he was friendly enough. The shaking beef with rice was delicious and had tons of flavor in the marinade. Watch out ordering Thai tea with no ice as they charge $1 extra which is okay but they don't tell you that. Overall, very yummy! read more

District III - Shaken Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

District III is a Vietnamese restaurant located in Avalon on the side where the Avalon hotel is. Their menu has a pretty extensive list of options. They have a ton of appetizers to choose from, pho, Vermicelli, bahn mi sandwiches, noodle dishes, different entrees, fried rice, and veggies. We ordered the Mango Salad, Chicken Clay Pot, and the L.A. Street Corn. The mango salad was really refreshing and had tons of flavor. I loved the hint of mint throughout the dish. The L.A. Street Corn was delicious as well and the corn was cooked perfectly. My husband enjoyed his chicken clay pot, but it was more soupy than we expected it to be. No complaints on the food from what we had. The reason for the four stars instead of five was the service. Since it was a nice day we asked if we could sit outside at one of their tables on the sidewalk. The server walked us to a table that still had crumbs on it and no silverware. He proceeded to bring out the menus and place settings and set them on the dirty table. We asked if the table could be cleaned first and he said yes but we just moved to the clean table next to it. We were just kind of surprised they sat us at a table with food crumbs. Some of the plates they brought out also had some food spots left. It just wasn't the cleanliness we expected for this restaurant being so nice. Overall we had a nice dining experience and would come back. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant goes the EXTRA mile. I'm talking about homemade, high quality, super fresh food. Like I was thinking when I first got there like damn this is expensive for pho! But WORTH IT!! Extra special depth of flavor. I was very happy when I left. And FULL BAR??! *claps , you guys are legit I highly recommend the calamari. As simple as it sounds it's wayyyy better. They make it special. Like it should be called something fancier Bc the name does not do it justice. This is not your typical calamari. Reminds me of Malaysian style fried squid. Soooooo good. Trust me and try it !!! Bun bo hue(spicy beef soup) was bomb too, no blood cubes, which I was thankful for , and very fresh veggies and the meat was tenderrrrr Shaking beef ? I think that's what it was called. Super tender super tasty. Very very good. Overall service was decent, the environment was classy. This restaurant can compete with the other restaurants in the area. Vietnamese cuisine FTW!!!! read more

This used to be our favorite place for Pho without having to go to the OG spots in Duluth, but after our last visit almost a year ago, we haven't been since due to the quality and taste having been pretty "off"...but we swung by today to see if it would be the same experience or just a random "off day" that last time, and it'll definitely be our last. District III has always been a very bougie, overpriced place to have pho, but given the location, it made sense. Since Duluth is much further for us, we usually just make the trek out to Avalon for pho there. You can notice a few changes on the menu with dishes re-named, or just off the menu entirely. I ordered the usual Pho Tai, when previously it was Pho Filet Mignon. Similar price as well...when we got our Shrimp Spring Rolls, we noticed that the Sriracha sauce was still some off-brand one, and we all know it'll make or break your soup! Now with the random shortages going on, I could see how they may have not gotten their supply yet. I then asked for the chili oil that you have to ask for, except for this time they said it'd be an up charge...that's when I knew that management must have changed. We ordered a fried rice dish for the kids, their usual, but once we got the food, the presentation was no longer the same, and neither was the pho as well. For what we ordered, it was on par with what you would expect to get at a grocery store food court...and still, the pho places inside the grocery stores will never up charge you for extra sauce, garlic oil, etc., and you better bet they would have found a better alternative to the off-brand sriracha that District was serving. The place was completely dead for a Sunday afternoon, and after confirming with the server about the new management change, we knew the place was no longer a place you'd go to for pho. She did say that they added more Thai dishes, and although we didn't try the new dishes, if you're used to coming here for good, quality pho? Forget it... read more

Turns out it's more of an Asian fusion place, not truly Vietnamese cuisine as listed in yelp. So keep that in mind and you won't be too disappointed. Food was more on the sweet side. Service was decent. It was a slow Saturday afternoon but the server forgot to bring us ice when we requested. We ordered: *Massaman curry - it was flavorful, but a bit sweeter than it should be *Papaya salad - it's ok *Candle steak - thin steak on cast iron plater, good flavor but make sure to eat it fast or take it off the plate otherwise the medium steak will soon be a well done steak. The sticky rice was not stored well, so it had hardened *Grilled pork vermicelli - the grilled pork was dry and tough; it should be juicy and the veggies weren't pickled. The sauce was not the typical sauce, it was watered down and more like a sweet chili sauce *Thai coffee - it should be sweet, but it was too sweet read more

I had the Pho combo and it was absolutely amazing. Best I've had in a very long time. Everyone was very friendly! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It was meh... The crab fried smelled a little fishy but was well presented. The flavor was pretty bland but had a nice level of heat( spicey) to it. My son liked his salmon with rice though he said it had too many onions. Their decor is great and our service was nicely accommodating. We thought to get pho, but it was too hot today for it. I will try it again in the future based on the other reviews of food, but for now, there are better options in Avalon. read more

Great ambiance! Attentive waiters! Perfect lunch! Parking in lot plentiful or valet near restaurant.. great location.. Menu is immense! So many interesting selections. Check out their website! Authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Reviews from my Yelp community were spot on! Something for everyone's pallet! Our lunch consisted of Fresh Spring Rolls with delicious peanut sauce, ((Watermelon Martini $10 for me) Pork and sausage fried rice, and Claypot Salmon in a delicious caramelized sauce which was scrumptious! Jasmine Rice was great too! We can't wait to come back and sample more of their great menu items! read more

The quality and flavor of the dishes were fresh and tasty. Food is great but they're not about the presentation or service. The drinks and dishes could had used some garnish to pretty up the presentation. The service could have been better coordinated... we finished our appetizers and was waiting for the main dishes (table came after us got served before us) while another staff walked over and asked if we were ready for the bill.

I was hesitant coming in. I've walked pass this restaurant many many times and never pulled the door open. Let me say ( I'm not religious) OMG. The wife had an appetizer; sizzling pancake 12.00 worth every penny. I want more. We both shared the shrimp egg rolls. It is a misnomer it was really fresh fried shrimp, nothing in that roll but shrimp. I got the OMG shrimp pad Thai; there I go again getting religious. I wish it wouldn't end. Noodles sweet juicy shrimp fresh bean sprouts with awesome sauce. Dinner cost 49 with tip. All these times I just walked on by, oh my. To bad so sad; guess what it's my new Avalon eatery.

District III - Raspberry martini - Vietnamese Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Hubby wanted to try foods 'he'd never had before' so here we are. This restaurant is in the heart of Avalon; tastefully decorated. We were seated immediately (wasn't very busy today). We had the lettuce wraps- they were good- a little messy to fix up but tasted good. Definitely liked the sauce. We then shared the shaken beef. We both liked the flavor but the beef was tough to cut up (certain pieces) and you don't have a knife so was just hard to eat such big chunks. Service was good. I'd like to come back to try a Bahn Mi sandwich sometime. read more

Decided to come here because they had a lot of gluten-free options (I'm gluten-intolerant) on the menu. Halfway through my entree, my stomach started hurting, and I couldn't finish my meal/lost my appetite. I don't know why this happened because I ordered everything gluten-free. I made a reservation on OpenTable and were seated right away, but the service after that was slow. When they brought out the spring roll appetizer, it was wrong (shrimp, but I asked for tofu), so I sent it back, and instead of taking our order before she left to correct the appetizer, she took the order when the correct dish was ready to bring back, so we had to wait even longer for our main meal. The food was just ok; I've had much tastier when it comes to vermicelli bowls. GF Calamari: I recommend this appetizer; it's crispy and tender but the pieces aren't the usual circular shape which surprised me. comes with a side of pickled carrots too. Tofu Fresh Spring Rolls (GF): tasty, but too much lettuce. I don't like when they put shredded lettuce in spring rolls-it's much better with cabbage or larger pieces of greens. Sadly I couldn't have the peanut dipping sauce because it wasn't gluten-free, but I liked the plum sauce. Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl (GF): they omit the egg roll, so the rest is gluten-free. Came with vermicelli noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, peanut, and the sauce. It was not that flavorful, and it was the same sauce that came with the fresh rolls), so honestly it felt like i was just eating a deconstructed fresh roll. I've had much better vermicelli bowls. The ratio of noodles to everything else was very large. Nothing special here, but if you're craving Vietnamese, and don't want to drive all the way to Buford, then this will do. The staff was friendly, though. read more

This place is full of puzzlement. Didn't realize it was located in Avalon and was super hard locating it with its camaflouging store front. Ordered pho and vermicelli and the simplistic, meaning bare table, was cumbersome, especially when the servers couldn't keep up with the lunch crowd. There was no silverware even though food was out, no sauces on the table, nor any veggies for the pho until it was requested. You're charging twice as much for these dishes with the essentials all hidden... On top of it, vermicelli was dry, especially the pork, and pho broth was too thick and salty. Crossed off my list. read more
