“ Pho Dai Loi serves some of the best pho I've ever had! The broth is rich and flavorful, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. ”
“ Pho Dai Loi #2 is my favorite & generally recognized as 1 of the best Atlanta-area noodle houses. PDL is located in Saigon Plaza, close to Plaza Fiesta. There are other locations in Forest Park & Duluth. PDL gives cafeteria seating vibes. The staff is cordial & will make suggestions, but do not expect frequent check-ins. The staff is always cleaning, & will clear your table quickly once you leave. This is also a restaurant where you pay your check @ the counter. I Ordered: Ca phe sua đa - iced coffee w/condensed milk Cha Gio - egg rolls Pho tai Gan - Pho w/eye round steak & marble brisket Che Dac Biet - dessert w/ sweet red beans, jelly, mung beans, banh lot, & coconut milk Soda Chanh Muoi - salty lemonade w/club soda Com Tam Bi Cha Suon Nuong Trung Ga - jasmine rice w/pork 2 ways, & eggs The iced coffee is delicious and packs a caffeine punch. I loved the salty lemonade’s balance of salty, sour, & sweet and it is my new refreshing cold beverage. I loved the crunch & flavor of the egg rolls, which served as a great texture contrast to the Pho. My Pho is always aromatic & flavorful. Their chili sauce is a great condiment. I enjoyed the pork chop of the Com Tam Bi Cha Suon Nuong Trung Ga & found the shredded pork interesting. The eggs were more over easy than sunny side up, & I missed mixing the runny yolk w/ the rice. I enjoyed the sweet red & mung beans of the Che Dac Biet. But I struggled w/the dessert’s textural contrasts, particularly w/ the jellies & the crushed ice. ”
“ By far the best Pho in Atlanta but, even though their online ordering says it offers delivery, there’s never any drivers available. I used to have it regularly delivered by Uber Eats but they are no longer available there. I don’t mind picking up, but I’ve been without a vehicle lately. Totally bummed because I’ve been craving Pho Dai Loi’s delicious food for a few weeks. So, go, have yummy pho and think about me. Ha! I’m hoping someone at the restaurant will see this and find a reliable delivery service. ”
“ Pho Dai Loi serves some of the most authentic and flavorful pho I’ve ever had! The broth is rich, the portions are generous, and the ingredients are always fresh. It’s my favorite spot for comfort food. ”
“ My fried rice was seasoned to perfection, the best I’ve had since moving to Georgia from NY. The shrimp were large and juicy. The carrot salad was awesome! My family had Pho with brisket and steamed rice. Everyone enjoyed their food. The servers were super personable and the place was clean. ”
“ The pho here is incredibly flavorful with rich, aromatic broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The portions are generous, and the ingredients taste fresh every time. The service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Definitely one of the best places for authentic Vietnamese pho! ”
“ I’ve never been around Atlanta, and my friend’s parents recommended this place for Pho! It was super clean, and staff were very friendly! I really enjoyed their Pho and broth used! We came again before we left because it was so good! ”
“ BuHi strikes again y'all! Me and my friends continued our Buford Hwy adventure at Pho Dai Loi #2 in the hopes of getting some pho before the weather got too warm. And let me tell ya, we're so glad we did. We ordered some spring rolls (pork I believe). They were crispy and super well seasoned. We also got one of the rice noodle bowls to share with roasted pork and shrimp. Tossed with the sauce it disappeared faster than it was brought out. We also got a sauteed beef and fried rice dish. That beef was incredibly tender. Honestly I don't even know how they do it!!! Finally, the star of the show: the pho. We ordered 3 mini pho ga (chicken pho) and one standard beef combination pho. All were so freaking flavorful. The broth is really how you judge a pho place and Pho Dai Loi #2 did not disappoint. The mini is PLENTY of good btw, especially if you get appetizers or something else to share. Also, yes this place is transit accessible: right off the MARTA Route 39. ”
