    (P10W) Combo Phở

    Such amazing pho which was perfect for a cold winter day. The broth was delicious and was a pretty hearty serving. And the spring rolls were delicious. The staff was also very attentive and kind. Highly recommend!

    This was an impulse stop after visiting the Atlanta ballet. It was a colder day so pho seemed appropriate for the day. The space is pretty unassuming but the service is fantastic. Our server was very patient with our ordering and actually made some changes to our dishes to accommodate a dietary needs. The Vietnamese iced coffee is definitely one of the best in the city. The weekend for with tofu is very well balanced and the portions are pretty generous. I did not personally like the green tea but that's just not my palate. Parking is at the strip mall and you should have no issues finding the space.

    So I am in town for work and we were deciding on a nice Vietnamese restaurant to eat at! Look no further. I highly recommend Pho Dakao, their customer service was outstanding, the attention to detail, the feeling like you are at home eating a warm meal! Atmosphere is great, weather is business or just a bite to eat. This is the spot. I ordered the P10 Combo Pho, has a little bit of everything in it, the taste before me adding spice was a 9/10 I would say adding lime and chili sauce will spike up the Taste to a 10/10. Would definitely eat here again.

    I had a taste for a Pho or Vietnamese vermicelli bowl and this spot seemed to have the best option close by. I called ahead. My food was ready for pick up when I arrived. I got the grilled chicken bowl and keep in mind you have to ask for cucumbers which comes standard at some other spots. They also charge a 0.75 cent takeout fee which I believe is not cool. They don't tell you that. The food was good but my chicken was very dry-almost impossible to chew. I like the pork egg rolls. The Thai Milk Tea is good but quite sweet. Some milk teas are not as sweet. The experience overall was decent and I implore them not to charge people just to get food to go and to cook juicier chicken.

    Pho on a rainy day is always a good idea! Met up with family who lives in the area, as we are driving home. The restaurant can pack a good number of customers in what you'd think was a small space. We got in just before the rush, and as we were getting ready to pay and leave, every table was full. There's plenty of options for everyone on the menu. This place has beef broth, chicken broth, and veggie broth pho!! You can modify your spring rolls (they're not pre-made). Ordering happened pretty quickly, and food came out in a timely manner. The Banh Mi (not pictured) my brother ordered took some time to come out and it took us a while to pay out. Overall, good environment, delicious food, great experience.

    Good stuff good combination of flavors. Great staff. Sometimes it could be a hit or miss from a service perspective. Ver 3.5 out of 6 stars. There are some good things about this location. It's close and convenient- on cold winter evenings it's a good option to dine. What could take them over the top? A cleaner location, less noise when placing used dishes in the bin, they clamor of noise when they are clearing tables and the floors are not always swept.

    Service was speedy and friendly. I ordered the fresh shrimp and pork spring rolls, combo pho, and a Thai coffee. The pho broth was fragrant and clear. The ambiance was lacking so that's why I gave 4 stars.

    Great proportions . I had the beef P4. Meatball Pho.Broth was seasoned perfectly and they give a variety of veggies to add into your pho
    Kennethia H.

    Great proportions will definitely get your moneys worth . I had the beef meatball pho. Service was speedy and the receptionist and worker in the back were very nice . I'd probably get extra chili oil if you like it spicy but overall a great dish and will be returning to try other entres in the future

    Was feeling down and wanted some comfort food so Pho was my go-to. This was close to me and saw the good reviews so I'd give it a try. The service was good, and always is since I've been here a couple of times. I'm always served quickly and seated immediately. The Pho is always amazing. Great temperature, great portion size, great flavor. They have all the extra ingredients to add; hoisin, cilantro, jalapeños, Sriracha, lime, bean sprouts, you know, the works! The place is clean down to the bathrooms, and they have TVs so you can the news and even some good ol Pink Panther on YouTube. Give it a try! It's busy around lunch time and early dinner but it's still worth a try! Great price, great food, real Pho, and a great atmosphere!

    Our go to spot for Pho around Smyrna, since driving to Buford Highway is quite a hike. We have done take out several times and this is our first time dining in. We came in on a Tuesday evening around 5:30 pm and our service was pretty fast. We would definitely be getting pho, since it's a perfect comfort food on cold days

    I have been here 3 times and never had a complaint. This is a Michelin Guide restaurant and I want…read moreto try all the items. So far I have had the pho twice, the rice cubes, and the shaking beef. Everything tasted great. Big parking lot for free parking. It is amazing how similar my visits have been. Staff was not as attentive as I would have like. My table had everything I needed so my meal was not interrupted. Getting my bill took longer than expected. I think the servers do not want to interrupt your meal but I wish they would come by more often. This place looks a little rough on the outside but it is extremely clean and some what fancy on the inside. The combination Pho has all the different types of meat. I remember the meatballs, flank steak, and tripe. Next time I will get something simpler.

    I like Nam Phuong. I don't dislike this place...but I don't get the hype. I've eaten here several…read moretimes and have covered the spread in terms of what they have to offer. I think their dishes although prepared authentically are underwhelming in terms of the depths in flavor and really the soul of Vietnamese food. I'm not an expert but I've eaten my fair share of Vietnamese food for a standard issue white girl. The pork patty was dry and likely made at the beginning of the week and just reheated as the week went on. It was pretty bland and had this rubbery overly bouncy consistency and literally snapped when I bit into it. It basically got lost amongst all the fresh herbs too. As you can tell from the photo the Bánh bột chiên was burnt and it ended up being burnt on both sides. The squares were cut too thick...and because they were cut too thick they were on the mushy side even after being overly pan fried. All of the veg was fresh and well cleaned, the rice noodles were not overly sticky and clumped together. The pickled carrot/daikon were tasty. The server I had was attentive and polite. The interior was as to be expected and I couldn't care less that it's a little rough around the edges. If the tile isn't cracked, if the booth's vinyl isn't taped up, the utensils aren't mismatched and the tables aren't wobbly then I don't trust the place!! Like I said-I don't dislike it here. I just don't see the hype. Then again I feel like I have to piece together my favorite dishes from several spots between Doraville/Chamblee and Duluth, so maybe it's because I haven't found one place that checks all the boxes and I can get all my favs from one place. I will come again...because I love Bánh hỏi.

    I went to Pho Dai Loi 2 on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience. We were seated right away…read moreand it wasn't too crowded, which made it really relaxing. I ordered the Pho Dae Biet #5, which comes with eye round steak, well-done flank, marble brisket, soft tendon, and tripe. We got the large bowl, and it was very filling, so much so that we couldn't finish it and had to take the rest to go. The broth was comforting and flavorful, and all the meats were cooked well. They also served hot tea, which was perfect to sip on while we waited for our food. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the service was smooth. Overall, this is a great spot for pho with satisfying portions, and good service.

There's no real ambiance to speak of--but when the food is this good, it truly doesn't matter. The value here is incredible. The portions are generous, the quality is consistently excellent, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Most importantly, the pho is as authentic as I've had anywhere. The depth of flavor in the broth, the freshness of the ingredients, and the balance of aromatics all hit exactly the right notes. My Vietnamese friends who eat here regularly have confirmed the same: this is the real deal. If you're looking for a place where the food speaks for itself--and speaks loudly--Pho Dai Loi 2 is it. This is the place. 5/5 no room for debate

Pedimos una variedad de comida y todo tenía excelente presentación, porciones generosas y sabores bien marcados. Lo que más me impresionó: El plato sizzling de carne con huevos Llegó caliente en sartén, con carne jugosa, vegetales frescos y huevos perfectamente cocidos. Ese toque de paté le da un sabor único, muy auténtico. Los noodles con carne y vegetales Bien salteados, con buen balance entre salsa y textura. Nada seco, nada grasoso--justo en el punto. Los mejillones con pan Súper sabrosos, ideales para compartir. El pan ayuda a aprovechar toda la salsa Calamares fritos Crujientes por fuera, suaves por dentro, acompañados de una salsa muy buena. Spring rolls frescos Ligero, fresco y perfecto para empezar la comida. Cerveza fría (Bia Saigon) Excelente para acompañar, le da ese toque completo a la experiencia. Lo mejor: * Comida fresca y bien sazonada * Excelente presentación * Porciones generosas * Buen ambiente para compartir A mejorar: * Puede llenarse rápido (vale la pena ir con tiempo) Conclusión: Definitivamente es un lugar al que regresaría. Si te gusta la comida vietnamita o quieres probar algo diferente con mucho sabor, este lugar no falla. Recomendado 100%

I ended up taking the pho to go and had to order an additional side of noodles for $3. The customer service was pleasant and look forward to returning.

We had to grab our own water with styrofoam cups, which was fine but what wasn't great was the lack of service after that. No one checked on us and the same guy at the front never once acknowledged how our food was or if we needed anything. On his phone the whole time never once left his spot in the front. Even as we were leaving and saying thank you, he didn't look up from his phone. So my overall experience dining in was ehh it was ok. I would def do take out next time instead of dining in.
