Ok... this place was meh... the waitstaff wasn't as fluent as I would expect w/ communicating when asked Qs about items on the menu. They seem to expect their visitors to come place their order, eat & LV. Since U have to go to their counter (placed in the back next to the kitchen/window) to close Ur tab, every1 that's standing in the line to pay (1 POS machine) gets trampled over by the waitstaff; coming & going. The paying customers R standing & breathing over the food that's sitting on the window to be served. read more

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta. Although they are technically outside of 285, I have yet to dine at a Vietnamese restaurant that has come close to their amazing pho, pork, and authentic dishes. Even their bubble tea and coffee surpasses many others, including Dai Loi II. If you want to have great food, great service, and a great time, Pho Dai Loi will not disappoint. I've been dining there for almost 15 years and have never had a bad experience. The food is consistent and the owner and his family are wonderful. The prices have gone up, however, they are still affordable and portions are excellent for the cost. I generally stick to ordering between three dishes and spring rolls, No13, No23, or No28. The pho cannot be matched, its full body and flavor is worth the drive. read more

I came here one day, as I was waiting for my car to be serviced at a nearby mechanic shop. It was a rainy day and I wanted to get some good "mood" food. Of course, I came to Yelp to look up some food options in the area, and was instantly peaked by the high rating of this restaurant. I have really enjoyed the Vietnamese food that I've had in the past and decided to come give this place a try. The restaurant is a decent size, but from my first impression, could see it gets very busy during the lunch rush hours. Tables were constantly being emptied and filled during my visit, with anxious guest waiting to be seated. So, I clearly knew I was in the right place. I was quickly seated upon entering, and was given a glass of water immediately. My waiter came and asked my order fairly quick, and gave me a meal ticket, in which I would use to pay for my meal at the end at that counter. The food came exceptionally quick, approx. 10 mins after ordering. I ordered #45 which was a beef and rice dish. My food came with 2 house soups, and a Vietnamese salad of bean sprouts. My entree tasted amazing. The meat was very tender, and savory. The sauce that dressed the meat was simply immaculate. It paired well with the rice and salad mix that comes on the plate. It was definitely the best Vietnamese I've had to date. The soup I had was a broth based soup that paired chives and cilantro together for a nice palate cleanser, and compliment to the meal itself. I definitely enjoyed my visit to this restaurant, and will be back again in the future! read more

This is my go-to most authentic Vietnamese spot in the city. They have two locations. I like the fact that they only serve Vietnamese food and doesn't mix with other Asian fusion whatever. Their veggies are super fresh and service is fast. I'm a regular. read more

Pho was actually really good. I wasn't expecting a ton getting pho in a ghetto Atlanta area suburb, but I was pleasantly surprised. I've had a lot of pho, so I know good pho. I got well done flank and brisket in mine, I might skip on the brisket next time and get rare steak and well done flank. Broth was good, deep enough but not overpowering. Seemed fresh. I got a small size and it was adequate for a meal. I don't recommend the bubble tea though, it just tasted like chemicals. read more

Always great pho. I eat here whenever I go to the airport and have time. Never been disappointed. I highly recommend stopping in for some great pho. read more

I really like this place since I started my journey of nothing but seafood and turkey it's hard to find places to eat out but this place is great the staff are very friendly and helpful especially since I don't no what the heck I'm talking about when I walk in there they laugh at me every time nice place tho read more

This is a great restaurant if you want authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Food is fresh and tasty. Prices are pretty decent for dining on food. Take out pho is only 1 size , which is a bummer and the language barrier needs work. Very sweet staff but it'll be much better once more English is established. I usually order the spicy noodle bowl and Vietnamese grinder or hoagie. Yes! I'm born n raised in the NE. The Vietnamese term would be banh mi. read more

Prices keep going up, it's to the point of going to Pho Dai Loi is a luxury lunch. Soup is still good, but not for a casual lunch at this price point. read more

This place is amazing. It never fails to disappoint when I want some Pho. I always get the chicken, it has nice chunks of whole meat and all the condiments I need to make my meal complete. I had a chicken Bahn Mi to go with the pho. The only challenge you run into is when you ask a question or some additional details from the wait staff. You always give up and just enjoy what you have ordered. I took my other half who is a very picky eater and she lovd it. A good friend turned me onto this place and I try to turn as many peole on to it as I can! read more

My experience wasn't a good nor terrible one. Ordering the food and the timing for it to come out. I did specifically request I didn't want onions, but the waiter forgot to mention it in the kitchen. His words. At our table flies kept bothering us, up to four were just flying around our food and on us. We did finish our meals feeling full, but not satisfied. read more

Great Pho! I would love if the meat was fresher but I am a Thai Boat Noodle soup flavor person. Definitely fast and cool place for the south side. read more

This is my 3rd time here everything is always fresh with good customer service. The Pho is great here i get the #5 but you have to try a side of the grilled pork. The sause thats on it great but mixed with the Char-Broil flavor is to die for plus i throw a few pieces in my pho to add extra flavor. P.s. rolls with shredded pork or shrimp.I love this place read more

Arguably the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. The beef meat in #44 or #45 was extremely tender. Shrimp egg rolls had the whole shrimp in it, including the tail, and were fresh, not frozen. The coconut chicken was delicious as well. Prices are reasonable. read more

Just as good as pho dai loi 2! Same menu, excellent pho! Try the #27--pork, shrimp and egg rolls on vermicelli....so good! read more

Pho Dai Loi - Vietnamese Near Me - Forest Park, Georgia

This place surprised me. I live right around the corner and never thought to stop. When you walk in the server seats you and greats you with a wonderful attitude. The restaurant is very clean. If you haven't eaten Pho or Vietnamese food, don't worry they will explain. The Pho broth is very tasty, hot so that your veggies will cook. The jalapeños are fresh, place them in your soup and the spicy flavor evolves. Bubble tea of all flavors. I gave them a five because everything was fresh, service was amazing, the atmosphere was not too loud, temperature was comfortable. The lighting was enough so that you could see your food. The flavors and spices of the food were just right. If you sit in a certain spot you can see the kitchen and watch them make your food. I highly recommend this spot. read more

This is the best Pho place I had ! Waiters are amazing and friendly ! Sundays are a bit busy but you get seated quick ! Shrimp egg rolls , Spring Rolls & Shrimp Pho are my to-go order they taste awesome read more

Oh this is my spot right here. Everytime im in town I come through. The food and service is top notch. A little out of the way but its well worth it. People living in the area should definitely come by and get some food. Perfect place to stop by before catching a flight, which is what I do. lol read more

One of my favorite places to go for pho. Ocassionally, i would order pho, so this time I ordered com tam thit nuong. Boy did they packed my plate with loads of rice and meat. It took me two days to eat all of this. The food was pretty good. I would have to come here again. read more

One word. YUM. My fellow fat girl foodie insists that there is no good eating on the southside, so I was happy to discover this place on one of our fat girl festivals. We had an order of cha gio, which were tasty on the inside, but the wrapper had a sorta thick quality, almost like they had been made up the day before and sat out absorbing all the moisture from the kitchen. This was not enough of a deterrent to keep us from gobbling them up like starving people, but I wouldn't get them again (and honestly, with the ginormous servings of pho, you don't really need anything else). So, on to the pho- OMG. Really? What pig is designing the bowls and serving sizes? We both got smalls, and they were huge! Steaming hot flavorful broth, tons of noodles and lots of whatever meat you want. Being a tripe fanatic, I got something that had tripe, flank and brisket, and was quite happy. This place is a winner for sure. There were some previous comments about the cleanliness...I don't know if my travels up and down buford hwy and penchant for cave type establishments has jaded me, but I didn't have a problem. I didn't see any outward signs of filth, and no one got sick, so I say go....eat. Don't fret. We also got some iced coffee with condensed milk. Um....I don't know what exactly was served in those cups.....black tarry liquid crack perhaps? All I can say is that between the lush portion of condensed milk and the caffeine...I was a studying fool for about six solid hours after our meal. In true fatty fashion, we both got a bubble tea to go- she some pineapple coconut concoction, and I got a taro (which wasn't very taroish, or tasty). Mine actually tasted very very coconutty, which didn't keep me from drinking it, but I wasn't impressed. She on the other hand....uh, yes, from the speed by which the drink was consumed, appeared to really, really enjoy hers. What I enjoyed the most, actually, was the fact that when she asked if she could combine flavors, the waitress actually looked at me and totally rolled her eyes. LOL! Sorry lady! Didn't know that was a cardinal sin! Service- not a plus. Better order everything you want when someone is at your table....because once your food is dropped off....service is over! Luckily, you have a full range of condiments, napkins and silverware, because you are truly on your own. Oh well. The service is initially quick, and our server was friendly. The rest is extra I suppose. Score one for the Southside with this place. read more

I LOVE this place! Best Pho in town. I always get #22. So good! The girls at work say I have an addiction to this place haha. Their Spring Rolls are delicious too (there is mint in it and it compliments the sauce so well!). The bubble tea is very good as well. My favorite is the coconut. It tastes like true coconut and not the powdered crap. You gotta try this place. read more

Pho Dai Loi - Beef Pho with well done flank steak. Yum! - Vietnamese Near Me - Forest Park, Georgia

I finally ordered take-out from Pho Dai Loi on Jonesboro Rd. yesterday. I ordered my usual Vietnamese fair partially because I didn't have a menu and I was winging it. The spring rolls were a tiny bit on the dry side but it was take-out so maybe they just stack them up somewhere for the pick-up orders. Then I got the shrimp pho. This is why this place is getting 4 stars. Man oh man was the broth good. Not overpowering, not too salty, just phoey goodness. The broth is the hardest part to make people! I was going to attempt to make it at home but aborted the mission after I read some recipes. I must admit I ate every last drop. Seriously, I used my chopsticks until they were of no use to me anymore and then I tipped the bowl and drank the rest. Yeah, I was kind of shocked too but at least its pretty healthy right? In the end, I was more thrilled because now I have a place close to home where I can satisfy my frequent pho cravings. DELICIOUS! read more

Whenever I have family in town I like to take them here. There's a nice atmosphere even during covid-19. Meals are prepared quickly which I really appreciate. Very flavorful meals with a large sized portion, have kept me coming back for years now and bringing others. read more

I live very close to this place and am a frequent customer but not as of lately. The service can be okay, but the little vietnamese that I know usually helps but not all the time. The food is pretty good...it can be a hit or miss but usually its pretty good to me. I love their shrimp eggroll and their rice dishes are awesome during the summer. It does come with a little bowl of pho soup to wash it down. I usually save the pho for winter to warm me up. read more

I've been here several times. Pho is just ok to me. On my most recent visit I opted for a medium bowl, no meat. Such a disappointment for the price, tip included. Service is always quick though. read more

Excellent Vietnamese food. I usually do not like Vietnamese food, but the food here was really delicious. We ordered the vermicelli with charbroiled pork/eggroll and also the beef stew with the French bread. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. Prices were fairly cheap too. read more

What's that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of deliciousness... this place has fast become a regular stop for us at least twice a month. i only had the pho #13 (because i'm a creature of habit) but everything i've seen carried to other tables looks awesome. the service is consistently fast and polite, but the best part about this place is COCONUT BUBBLE TEA. oh god, i want one Right. Now. read more

Their bubble tea, pho, and even the rice dishes are 100/100. I've been a loyal customer for more than 4+ years and this restaurant never disappoint me. read more

First reaction: This place needs a lot of renovation. For example, their restrooms are very nasty like it's just ready for a big infestation. The parking lot is very cracked and bumpy and their restaurant looks very old. The lights are just ceiling fans, if they have enough money for a two whole new restaurants, then why don't they have enough money to just update their original restaurant? Now onto the food... The spring rolls were very nasty because the vegetables inside of them were not good and overall it just tasted... old. Their pho was okay, it just tasted like any other pho restaurant but a bit worse due to it being so oily, and i didn't even ask for nuoc beo. Overall, I would not come to this place again, if i'm craving some pho i'll think i'll just take my money to VN PHO. read more

No vegetarian broth every broth is made with chicken or beef so it's not pescatarian or vegan friendly I think they need to be innovative and understand that there is a new demographic read more

Overall: My weekly lunch treat. Turned me on to the wonders of Pho while at the same time offering me bubble tea. Consistently delicious and pleasant. The Good: Delicious, Delicious food. I had only had pho once before and remember it being good but not ever planning to seek it out... and then a coworker took me here and now we end up going once a week. They also have really good bubble tea which delighted me greatly since I got hooked on the stuff a while back. The waitstaff is kind and timely, and seem to have the perfect balance of appearing right as you start to want for something. The place is lively, but rarely jammed with people. Families and business-folks mix in happily to enjoy the ambrosia. The Bad: Nothing really. Be thee warned: If the parking lot is full you may have to drive to a back-lot and wait for 5-10 minutes for a seat... but that's only happened to us once in about 3 months of weekly visits. read more

It was recommended that I try the Beef Flank Pho in Forest Park. This is by far the best Pho I've had in the U.S! Thanks Pho Dai Loi!

I knew this was a legit pho restaurant by the sheer amount of Vietnamese customers inside the restaurant. Plus, there were PLENTY of Vietnamese customers coming in and out of the restaurant to pick up their pho to-go orders. Did it live up? An absolute YES. The beef pho here is not just good for southern standards, but also pretty darn good for Houston/Orange County standards. It's absolutely legit. I felt like I was back in Garden Grove or Westminster in southern California. We ate at both locations and both were delicious. That's why my review of the other location is a copy and paste of this review. (And yes, both locations had plenty of Vietnamese traffic). I wish it was closer to Nashville. read more

Absolutely the best! They treat me and my husband like family and their food cannot be beat! Fast and delicious!

The pho was delicious. Broth was perfect. The spring rolls are great. My daughter got the pork chop meal and said it was really good. We will definitely be back!! read more

This was the first Vietnamese restaurant I ever visited, back in its pioneering days, and a decade-plus later it's still the king. I'm lucky it's a lunch option at my workplace - I've introduced a lot of people to this place over the years. One thing that has also changed over the years - I became a pescatarian. That strongly limits what I can have here. Shrimp vermicelli could be considered my go-to meal, but that's a little like calling oxygen my go-to compound when it comes to breathing. I have a dream that one day a Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta will serve a vegetarian pho broth. Nevertheless, a shining star (a big gold one) in Forest Park, and among Vietnamese restaurants in general. read more

I think I died and went to heaven in the form of a noodle soup with Eye of Round and a noodle bowl with grilled shrimp and pork. My husband and I have been dying to try this place and we finally went tonight. We just kept looking at each other saying "wow" - this place is SO GOOD. For two great sized bowls we could share along with a shredded pork spring roll for each of us, it was $17 without tip. Service is fast - food comes out FAST - place is super clean. I immediately texted my brother and told him we are SO bringing him to this place when he comes to visit. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Stopped for lunch, the place was packed! Excellent quality and very fresh food! Served fast!

This was an unexpected finding for me. I just wanted to eat somewhere and this place was close. I was very pleasantly surprised by the food and service. Service was fast. It was one of the best Vietnamese food I ever had. You have to try their shrimp egg rolls. Its shrimp covered with ground pork, wrapped in an egg-roll sheet and crisp deep fried! I highly recommend this place. Cheap and tasty. read more
