Think of this as a barbecue place with a Vietnamese twist to it. If you love southern barbecue and Vietnamese food, and wished it could be one - this is the place.Walking to the place and you smell the smoke. Look around and it appears to be a barbecue place, with a bar and big screen TV for sports. Not your traditional Vietnamese place.The chicken wings were excellent. I think the wings and bahn mi were best thing we had today. The bahn mi, or Vietnamese sandwich, was made on a fresh bun, which made it wonderful to bite into. Instead of your typical meats, it has a choice of barbecue meat. Not quite traditional, and I almost didn't order it, but it somehow worked. I highly recommend this sandwich and the wings!The vermicelli bowl was pretty good. A nice dish on a hot summer day. It comes with barbecue chicken on top. The crispiness of the chicken and dissolved this to the vegetables worked really well on a hot day.Other reviews mentioned the brisket egg rolls, so I ordered it. I was disappointed. It felt like it was fried and some oil snuck into the egg rolls leaving grease pockets. Also, based on the texture of the vermicelli in it, it didn't seem the freshest.The pho with brisket with also disappointed pointing. The menu says the broth has simmered for 28 hours. I didn't quite get that taste. I'll presume honesty and good intentions, so something else in there, or via the cooking process, made it salty and similar to the taste you get from a to go pho a place using bouillon cubes. I highly recommend not ordering this.The disappointment of the soup almost knocked me down to three or four stars. However, the service was excellent. I'll give it that fifth star for the founder's courage to be creative.This is the first Vietnamese (or barbecue) place in Atlanta. I've given five stars to (n=7).
Service was great. Poppers were good in theory, but need more finesse. Brisket egg rolls were very good and the phó was good, but the stand out item was the smoked wings with lemongrass wet. Extremely good!
Stopped in Friday for a late lunch. Place had plenty of space and not crowded! We ordered:Pho Bowl - All the basics of Vietnamese Pho except the meat is Texas BBQ style! We got the brisket which was soft, flavorful and buttery in the broth. It came with all the typical pho fixings and all the sauces were available too ( hoisin, chili garlic paste, sriracha, fish sauce… ) alongside some bbq sauce! It’s a good bowl - but don’t expect buford hwy pho flavor - this has its own delicious personality.Bahn Mi - The pork Bánh mi has hefty amount of fillings and they don’t skimp on the pork. Sandwich was delicious - toppings were all very fresh. Meat was again american bbq style so don’t expect Vietnamese bbq style and you’ll love it!! It’s different and delicious!Wings - Damn these are huge and delicious. The lemongrass and pepper sauce is just perfect man. Like we don’t love strong lemon pepper so this was a gamble but it’s subtle and the wings are smoked to perfection. The meat inside is tender and it’s not charred to death so I enjoyed the wing skin a lot!Rum Gummies - Just a little throwback to your trashy college days. Good times.I’d recommend you stop in if you have a chance! It’s something different and definitely good!
What a gem of a restaurant! Had a great time sampling the pho (we had brisket and pork), dumplings, egg rolls, and chicken wings. Had to try the rum gummies too :) Love that the trays with sprouts/herbs had lots to add to Pho. Oh and service was fantastic. Owner super nice too! Definitely on my return list!
Egg rolls are delicious! The fried rice with pulled pork was satisfying with a little tangy side. My kids liked the smoked chicken and the porky beans. Service was awesome with caring, kind and courteous staff.
The pork belly tostado blew me away! I liked the brisket egg roll too.
Cool staff, great food and drinks. Had the sliced brisket pho and the brisket egg rolls, so delicious! Portions were enough to be filling and I took some home! Will be coming here again, new fave!
So so good! My friend and I stopped by today. It was a little full but the food came out promptly and it was DELISH! If you're ever in the area do not hesitate to stop by! The eggrolls are a must!!
Most amazing staff and most amazing food you'll ever have! can't wait to eat again!
Delicious food with large portions. I wish I took pictures of the food but our group demolished it as soon as it came to the table. My favorite appetizers are the smoked brisket eggrolls and the banh fris. It's hard to pick a favorite for the main dish. The owner suggested selecting pulled pork for the banh mi sandwich and it was a hit. We all went home with leftovers.
