Atlanta's Best Vietnamese Restaurants

I'm trying to cover some deep Asian restaurants lists in Atlanta, partly because I haven't finished European and South American restaurants.

Speaking of Vietnamese restaurants, people always think about a huge bowl of pho (Pronounced as 'Fuh' by the way) with customized herbs and bean sprouts. But don't forget about delicious meat dishes and cheap fresh bahn mi, Vietnamese sandwich. Plus, most dishes are cheap!



1 Lee's Bakery
Address: 4005 Buford Hwy NE Atlanta GA 30345
Phone: 404-728-1008
I cannot stress enough how I love Lee's Bakery. Atlantans lined up in Saturday for lunch; New York Times ranked it as Top 10 bahn mi places in this nation. Yes, it is THAT good. They have a secret sauce to make those sandwiches extra delicious. Compare to other restaurants, waiters speak good English, and services are also very good. What's worth noting is even they are so popular, they don't raise their bahn mi's prices, $3.25 for one sandwich!


2 Pho Dai Loi
Address: 4186 Buford Hwy NE Atlanta GA 30345
Phone:404-633-2111
Pho Dai Loi is commonly acknowledged as the best pho place. They've developed three restaurants at different locations, and inevitably, raised prices. Anyway, the pho soup is still solid, but you might need to size up to at least medium bowl. Don't forget to order paper wrapped spring rolls. They are the best!

Best Bubble Tea in Atlanta

Having been busy with moving, I couldn't have enough time to finish this post. Now that everything is settled and I live in metro Atlanta again, I need to write more posts about all the delicious restaurants.

 It is amazing that in Atlanta, so many options for bubble teas and snacks. Especially when you are on Buford Highway, or Duluth. Now here are some of the best.


1 Sweet Hut Bakery & Cafe
Address: 5150 Buford Hwy Ste A-100 Doraville GA 30340
Phone: 470-545-2585
Website: http://www.sweethutbakery.com/
Cheap authentic Cantonese bakeries, bubble teas, snacks and more. Who can deny that?! Sweet Hut is so popular that it's hard to find a seat in busy nights. Almost every Asian knows this place and goes there. What's more, they close late, 3AM late. Try their grass jelly bubble tea, egg tarts and chicken nuggets. Egg tarts run out quickly. They has a midtown branch newly opened, and is coming to Duluth, nearby Great Wall Supermarket.



2 Quickly
Address: 5090 Buford Hwy Ste 106 Doraville GA 30340
Phone: 404-348-8847
Headquartered in Taiwan, opposite to Sweet Hut Buford Highway location, Quickly is seriously Sweet Hut's biggest competitor. I like their grass jelly bubble tea much better, since they put more stuff as original ones. But they only accept CASH. The Duluth Quickly looks better than Buford highway one.
