Pho Dai Loi

So unassuming and inexpensive that it's sometimes hard to believe how great the food is, Pho Dai Loi has become something of a shrine to the pleasures of basic, but flavorful Vietnamese cooking. Crispy, Vietnamese-style egg rolls and soft steamed rolls make fine appetizers. But true to its name, pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) is the main attraction here, with rich broth highlighted by aromatic spices and silky, just al dente noodles. Bun (vermicelli) dishes are another good choice, layered in a bowl with plenty of bright, crunchy veggies and herbs, and topped with the likes of grilled pork, marinated shrimp or lemon grass chicken. There’s a second location on Buford Highway.
