I've been coming here since I was a kid, and it's great to see that the recipe for their pho has not changed over the past years. The broth is rich and comforting with a clean, beefy flavor, but without it being overwhelming or oily. Their pho is the best when you're coming down with a cold. I always get the pho tai and avocado smoothie when I visit. The eye round steak is tastes fresh and clean, and their avocado smoothie is creamy and addictive. Service doesn't really stick out to me, but I've never had any issues with their service to begin with, and their ambiance is quick and casual. Personally, I don't care about the outdated decor; it's quite nostalgic for me, especially when there's many new restaurants opening in the same area. read more

I want to be upfront with this review and call out my experience honestly. Personally, I'm sensitive to heavy MSG usage. When I eat at many Japanese or Korean soup restaurants that don't rely heavily on MSG, I rarely get headaches afterward. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. I ordered the bún bò Huế, a spicy and rich Vietnamese noodle soup originating from the central city of Huế. Traditionally, it features a bold, savory broth flavored with lemongrass, shrimp paste, and chili oil, served with thick rice vermicelli noodles, sliced beef, pork (often shank or knuckle), and fresh herbs with crunchy vegetables like banana blossom or cabbage. The portion was generous and visually accurate to the dish, but the broth felt extremely heavy and overpowering for me, and I left with a noticeable headache--something that doesn't usually happen to me at similar soup-focused restaurants. As a side note, the restaurant had a health inspection score of 81 (low B) the last time I checked, which is fairly in line with many older, high-volume ethnic restaurants, but still worth mentioning for transparency. The location is also something to be aware of. It's in a busy parking lot with a lot of reckless driving activity, so be careful when walking--this isn't the kind of place where you can casually stroll through the lot like you might at Whole Foods or Publix. You definitely need to watch left and right. The surrounding businesses include an American Deli and a pizza buffet, which gives you an idea of the overall environment. Overall, Pho Dai Lo serves authentic, bold-flavored Vietnamese dishes, and fans of strong, intense broths may enjoy it. However, if you're sensitive to very rich seasoning or additives, your experience may vary. Im Asian btw I know msg is used in a lot of viet and Chinese dishes and maybe the reasons why I enjoyed this dish. But I do have regret after coming out. It's not cheap either for two person with tip roughly $20 pp. u can get all you can eat buffet or even the Gohan seafood buffet if you think about it. read more

I came here on a Friday night based off a friend's recommendation. To me, the dinning area had a standard setup. A bunch of tables and a main counter. I was seated right away and given water without asking. I ordered a large combination pho with Vietnamese coffee. The broth was good, not too salty. The large pho was super huge with plenty of meat. The coffee was great! Strong and sweet just like I like it. Overall it was a good experience but this area has so many Vietnamese restaurants until there's a lot of competition. read more

Took my parents to PDL for lunch today. I ordered the medium (fatty) brisket and they ordered the combo bowls. What I like about PDL is their prices. A medium is $16 and a large (which is more like an ex large) is $17. You can get a full hearty bowl of soup for under 20 bucks. Definitely a great price. Only suggestion I would make is to make some renovations to the interior of the restaurant. I feel like it would definitely make the ambiance that much better. Otherwise, The service was fast, so, no complaints there. read more

Pho Dai Loi 3 is one of the three restaurants of its namesake except this one is in Duluth. This is a popular household name among people in Metro Atlanta who are interested in Vietnamese food. There are a lot of Vietnamese people who eat here, which should be telling about the food. This location, like the others, is a pretty casual restaurant. You are seated fairly quickly and the service is speedy. We got the Cha Gio, Pho Tai Gau, and Bun Bo Hue. The Cha Gio was thick and crispy. I enjoyed the filling inside, but it tasted pretty typical of egg rolls at a Vietnamese restaurant. The Bun Bo Hue was alright to me; I squeezed a lemon in there to add more flavor. I will say that they are generous with meat portions in the soup, although I wish this place (and other Vietnamese restaurants) would give more noodles in these soups because that is my favorite part! My boyfriend scarfed down the Pho Tai Gau, which had a good broth from what I remember. Overall, I think this is a classic place for anyone to check out if they are looking for a chill Vietnamese spot to eat at. read more

Food/Drink Pho Dac Biet is my go to and never fails to disappoint. Great portions and great flavors. My girl loves to get the Bun Bo Hue here. She says they give a lot of meat and the broth is pretty good. I like how they give the proper fixings for each dish. I've had some restaurants only give things for pho even though someone ordered bun bo hue. Their coconut drink is good. Service Service is great! Fast, accurate, and attentive. Food came all at the same time and the extra requests made were fulfilled - heated bean sprouts and raw meat on the side. Ambiance This place is very mellow and casual. Nothing fancy and very much a typical Vietnamese restaurant read more

Very bad service and very stingy with the food and drinks. Food is good and taste amazing, it's the PEOPLE that work there. They are very rude and make you feel rushed. Very today and ask for hot taro drink without boba and they brought frozen which wasn't a big deal, ask for a change, the server looked ticked off. She went, came back with boba in it when I had already told her twice "without", I left it alone and just gave it to my friend and asked for another one without Bobba. Finally she gives me what I asked for in a very nasty way... I finally got the to go check and asked for another one because the drink it's self taste good but this time around I ordered it without ice so it could be filled up to the top. TELL ME WHY SHE CAME OUT WITH IT HALF WAY FILLED BECAUSE I ORDERED WITHOUT ICE . I said something about it and they looked annoyed, they took it back, took her a while and brought it to me "filled" to the top. I did not drink it because you would know what that meant as soon as they took long on a 30 second drink. read more

As already a fan of Pho Dai Loi #2, I was excited to find out the #3 was just around the corner from where I already was! Got seated right away and had about 3 people come up to take the order within 5 minutes of sitting down, staff were on their toes like always. I got their bun bo hue which I loved! Usually I have a hard time finding a place that makes a balanced and full broth but I seemed to have found my match. There are lots of blood cubes, pork feet, and other unique cuts in the soup. Love the fresh vegetables on the side as toppings and thought the lemon wedges were unique since it's usually limes. Would love to come again for this quick service mom & pap shop for their casual and comfortable environment. read more

I was craving some Vietnamese food on my way to the airport so stopped by Pho Dai Loi 3. It's located on a plaza with plenty of parking. The restaurant was pretty casual, low key with minimal decor. We were seated as soon as we walked in but the waitress asked if we were ready to order before we even looked at the menu. She came back with waters and asked us again if we were ready to order so I felt a bit rushed. My husband had the Vietnamese coffee. I was a bit confused that it came out with hot water in a styrofoam cup and a spoon. I've never poured hot directly into the cup of coffee which was what the waitress did when we asked what it was for. The fried shrimp came out fast, it was good but I wish it was more fragrant with black pepper. It came with sweet chili sauce which complimented it but wish it was fish sauce instead. My bun no hue was ok, flavor wasn't bold and it wasn't spicy, but came loaded with noodles and meats. My husband's chicken pho tasted sweet, with a nice light aroma. He said he liked the broth. No one checked in with us after we received our food. After waiting 15+ mins, we decided to walk up and pay. Overall, good meal but service and broth flavors could be improved. read more

Heard good things/ v good reviews on Yelp AND they have 3 restaurants in Atlanta so we were like ok must be OK (at worst) but uh.... the bahn mi was super soft (no crunch or chew) think like the bread from subway untoasted... the filling was super stingy (literally there was only pork in the middle) and WAY too much mayo the pho was ok - noodles were a little overcooked and broth was nothing special. The egg rolls were so disappointing... underfilled and just like too much taro the broken rice was ok - meat was thin but flavorful ‍ IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

This is a very nice mom and pop owned restaurant. Friendly welcome in, and patronage is good. The food is generous in portions and authentic to Vietnamese culture. Definitely recommend if you are around the area. I was sad they didn't have a spicy broth for their pho but their normal one is a 8/10 on delicious ranking scale. read more

Really great service! The pho is good with good portion size of meat and also the vegetables as well, broth tastes pretty average. I ordered a rice plate to go as well. Would come back here if in the area. read more

The spot is renowned for pho and one of 3 locations in atl. The service is quick and the food arrives pretty efficiently after the order. No fuss spot that just feeds a hungry soul. The brisket pho was very good all round. The chicken however as a texture was not so good. They are very generous with the meat portion so come hungry. read more

Alright, I cannot believe how great this place was. Was craving pho since I'm in town for work and Pho Dai Loi did not disappoint. Pho Dac Biet - broth was not bad at all. I was expecting something not so great but man am I glad they proved me wrong. I'm also glad they provided chili oil on the side for you and it made the taste of the pho that much better. Service was fantastic. Our server was extremely kind and patient with the ordering. He was so friendly, it felt like I was his anh hai. Now the music... they were blasting some sick dubstep. Not my cup of tea at a pho restaurant but it was some sick dubstep nonetheless. read more

Food was pretty good! I spent 15.99 on a Medium bowl which was sorta expensive + tip. I ended up out the door at about $21.

I had a craving for Pho and Yelp led me here... they didn't steer me wrong! Location and Parking Pho Dai Loi 3 is located in a shopping center next to a Goodwill and three other restaurants. Parking is abundant and free. Venue and Atmosphere The restaurant isn't anything fancy, but it is presentable and clean with very clean bathrooms. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages The pho was absolutely amazing. I ordered the well done flank Pho, size small. It was huge and perfect for 2 servings or leftovers. The broth was perfectly seasoned and the meat/veggie/broth ratio was well balanced. Verdict I will surely be back for my fix of delicious Pho! read more

Food was great and they don't skimp on the meat and extras in the Pho! Highly recommend!

Went to grab lunch here as my gf and I was craving Vietnamese food. Definitely one of the best that i've had! We went around 1:30 and the place was busy but we were sat right away. The staff was very attentive. Got our waters instantly and they were ready to get our orders. The broth for pho was very deep and rich in flavor. Broth alone would probably fill me up. The portion was just perfect. The meats that came with the rice dish was marinated and cooked perfectly. Beautiful texture. Very very underrated and more people should try this place out :) read more

Pho Dai Loi has 3 different locations and with more responsibilities there's usually a decrease in quality. Couldn't be further from the truth in regards to Pho Dai Loi. Each and every location provides good service and good food. This is my mother in laws favorite pho spot. I always order the pho dac biet or bun Bo hue. What I love about Dai Loi is they always give you a good amount of meat, almost too much. It's a perfect amount of noodle broth and meat. Some places skimp on meat but every time and every location I've been, it's always plentiful. I'm never disappointed. My only gripe is I'd prefer if my broth was hotter. So on top of the food being delicious, the service is pretty good. They're fast and bring everything you'll need for your dish and even offer to steam your bean sprouts. read more

Something has changed here. I felt like the medium bowls and servings were smaller with less noodles. We went for dinner on a weekend and there were hardly any customers. So many servers were just standing around. Not sure if this is a sign to start scouting another pho place. read more

Solid food with quick service and tasty eats. No frills Vietnamese comfort food. We had the rice dishes because it was kinda hot and not in the mood for soup...but next time I'm in the area will definitely give their Pho a try. Glad we checked this place out! Nice portions! We definitely did not leave hungry. Ample parking in the parking lot and at 11am surprising there was a nice clip of people dining in and doing take out. They open early (9:30am) so that's nice as well if you're wanting to have some Viet eats earlier rather than later. read more

My favorite local Vietnamese restaurant. Yes they have great pho! But my favorite Vietnamese noodle dish is Bún Bò Huế, and they make a great one here. It's a rich and spicy soup with deep layers of flavor. This Central Vietnamese soup has tender slices of beef, pork blood, pork knuckle, and topped with lots of fresh herbs and bean sprouts. You can absolutely forgo either the pork blood or knuckle. I love both but sometimes switch knuckle for extra blood. If you want an alternative to pho, and like a more flavorful soup, definitely try BBH. It looks spicier than it is! I can't eat super spicy and it's enjoyable for me. Of course if you love spice, you can always add more chili oil. If I order pho, I always order number 1 and add meatballs. The broth here is well developed and not too sweet as I sometimes find at other places. My husband loves the chicken pho here as you can choose white meat, dark meat, or combo. They always include a very generous portion of vegetables. Actually the overall portions are generous, even when ordering takeout. I also enjoy the Cơm (rice) dishes here. Number 36 is the classic but there are version depending on what you want with your rice. They have several locations- but if you aren't close to one, and craving good Vietnamese, it's worth the drive! read more

This is the OG of pho restaurants. If you know then you know , Pho Dai Loi 2 was the place before #3. Service is always good, aunties and uncles are friendly. I usually get the rice or noodle bowls because it never misses! Also, growing up I used to see only Asian people eating at Viet restaurants, but now I see every race/ ethnicity here so I love it. The vibe is typical Viet restaurants, can't get any better than that. read more

Looked this place up, saw a few pictures and I knew I had to come visit and I'm certainly glad I did. The pho is real here, (joke alert) and they don't mess around at all. No skimming on the meat, juicy chunks in every bowl, the broth is also great. I love how it isn't over saturated with salt and other additives, it's just a natural blend of flavor. Some may say it's a little bland but you really have to appreciate just enjoying the natural flavors of the broth and all the ingredients inside. I was ready to take on the spice level challenge with the Bun Bo Hue, and I'm glad I did. It was a mellow spice level and not burning your tongue spice. The prices here are all extremely reasonable, you really get a lot of bang for your buck here. The service was great, food came out pretty quickly and everyone was really nice. We had plenty of left overs to take back with us. And most importantly it survived the reheat test ! That's how you know it's high quality. I will definitely come back again here. Well worth the drive. read more

My favorite pho place in all of Atlanta. I go here almost every Friday for home cooked pho like momma use to make.

It's good, Its one of the better pho places in Gwinnett. I find their shrimp rolls to be a bit subpar to others. They just have lettuce and shrimp and no rice noodles. They are a little weird about the herbs too. I mean I get it, most people don't use them, but I have to ask for more every time just to get as much as you would at da loi 2. They just want to give basil and bean sprouts and no culantro, I know they have it, just not for some people. They brought some chopped cilantro but it want what I was after. I'm not going to quit going, but these few things could be better. Right now the pork skin roll is way better than their spring rolls. I also think their menu is about 1-2$ overpriced on every item. read more

I'm in GA for a week and have been trying all types of food so I can get a good idea of what is good here. I wasn't able to dine in today, but still wanted pho and decided to get take out from Dai Loi. I checked their most recent menu online (from 10 months ago) and the prices were pretty reasonable $9~ for a small, $10~ for medium and $11~ for a large. I called to place my order but was told only large is available for take out, no big deal, I can just save the other half for tomorrow or something. Then I was told it's $15~, what a HUGE price difference. I ordered it anyways. The pho was good, nothing spectacular but it was good pho and satisfied my craving. The broth was flavorful and beefy, they're also very generous with their meat as well, not sure if it's because I ordered a large =D I later learned that they charge a different price for take out, not sure why that is. I can understand if they were using DoorDash or UberEats, they want to make up for the commission, but this was an in-house order that I placed. So I took away 1 star because I honestly felt it's bad practice. read more
