I Luv Pho

I loved this place! I already am a fan of Vietnamese, so this furthered my love towards the culture’s food.
We started off with the Shredded Chicken Rolls, which were to DIE for. They served it with a peanut sauce, which orginally looked off-​putting, but to my delight tasted wonderful with the rolls!
For the main course, I ordered the I LOVE PHO soup, and was delighted! The soup and broth was so filling. I’d defintely reccomend getting the small bowl though! It couldn’t even fill me up.
Defintely would reccomend to others. Food was great, service was super nice, and the prices were very reasonable!

Always an enjoyable experience! Love the food and the staff! 100 percent on health assessment! Definitely recommended if you love Vietnamese soups!

Excellent food, excellent place. We stopped by all hungry after landing at PDK Airport. This is one of the best Phở restaurants I’ve eaten at. Highly recommended.

The service here sucks and the meals are even more expensive. Go to the one in Duluth!
One waiter specifically was so rude. I asked for scissors and an extra plate and both requests he completely ignored.

I went with my mom to eat here for lunch, and omg it was amazing. Like seriously, a HUGE bowl of phở (their large size) could easily feed two people (and we were stuffed!). The soup was extremely rich without being heavy and the noodles were on point. We ordered their summer rolls with shrimp inside them and it was just like the ones I had in vietnam! The price is extremely cheap, the food is amazing, and the atmosphere is homey and local-​feeling. If you want both quantity and quality, come here ASAP!

We always make this a priority stop when we’re in the area! The food is always fresh, and the service is fast + friendly.
The atmosphere is great, too. Large building with a very authentic feel.

The resturant is clean, has good service, and styled the way you would expect a nicer phở place to look. That’s why I gave it 3 stars.
BUT, I am all about the PHO!
The flavor of their broth was generic. I only tried the soup so I cannot comment on their other dishes.
There are better phở places nearby for example Dai Loi 2.
Also, I always mention the best phở I have found so far is Dai Nam on Rockbridge Rd.

Wow, started with chicken rolls which are 2 large basil chicken rolls $ 3.95 with a too thick peanut sauce. But try it. I enjoyed.
Beef brisket & filet mignon Phở. Broth was perfect. They bring Thai & regular basil, bean sprouts, lime and cilantro that you can add to it. I like a bite so I added chili garlic sauce. Lots of meat and well worth the price. You can get bowls in 3 sizes med, large and xlarge. This big dude was full on large and basil rolls and that was with no breakfast.
Rather fast food looking interior in a strip mall, well isn’t all of BoFord Hwy (as the way Google Maps pronounced it)
Had a meeting in Chamblee and glad I stopped in. Not sure how autentic, but who cares if the food is good. But looking at clientele is NOT a tourist trap.

If you’re looking for a place for a late dinner and don’t want to spend too much time eating, I luv Phở is good choice (but they’re not ²⁴⁄₇).
My friend and I came here after watching the movies and got here around 10p to eat. There was a decent amount of people here at 10p but still lots of open seats and we got seated immediately. I ended up just getting the small phở with basically everything in it (I forget what number). The food came out quickly. The phở was pretty good, but I definitely wished that my soup was a bit hotter, especially since there were some rare meats in the phở still. The phở only costed ~7 dollars, which is a great price for a filling meal.

Great beef brisket phở! Better than other options in Bu Hi, and as tasty as Dua downtown.
The broth was well seasoned and the noodles were cooked well.
Service was fast and courteous, and prices are reasonable for the portion sizes.
Fried shrimp app was decent.
Hot tea was good

Pretty good phở place. Note that I was quite hungry when I got there, so my experience may have been better than it would normally. However, I got to try three dishes, including a banh mi (pretty good, could’ve used a bit more veggies, and I like a bit of patte on it), the phở (more star anise than normal, and they were a bit careless with how they threw in a clump of meat, but still pretty good), and a charbroiled pork w/​broken rice dish (tasty). Their menu is fairly large but concentrates on more home-​style dishes. I’d go back again.

Parking: Parking lot outside the restaurant.
Service: Service is fast!
Food: Definitely the best place to get phở near Atlanta! Very authentic. They give a LOT of meat in their phở, but you can never have enough. Get their phở and their pork bahn mi. You will NOT regret it. We always leave full and satisfied.
overall experience: A+

One of the best phở places in Atlanta! They have a size option for the phở and a X-​large is humongous — the bowl is bigger than a child’s head! We’ve tried the rice, vermicelli dishes, and appetizer rolls and I think the phở dishes are best.
The doraiville location is good. We’ve also tried the location in Duluth and we didn’t like that one as much as the one in doraiville.

I know there’s what seems like several thousand phở places along Buford Highway, but for real, I Luv Phở, takes it up a few notches.
Before trying out I Luv Phở, I thought Phở Dai Loi 3 was good, but this place is better — it’s got ambiance, I kid you not. My fiancé convinced me to go after he’d been once with a co-​worker for lunch, and I was not disappointed.
Unlike most phở places, which are sort of faux-​fancy, I Luv Phở is actually nicely decorated inside. It’s in an odd two-​story building across the street from Sweet Hut, but inside it feels Asian and inviting — just more tastefully so than most, not so kitschy.
And like many great phở restaurants, they have a big menu with lots of options (many of which were foreign to me) and some that were more familiar. My fiancé choose to go with the same phở beef bowl he’d gotten before, but I had trouble deciding — there were so many noodle dishes, rice dishes, soups, etc. Finally, I chose a noodle dish that sounded interesting, but when I told the waiter what I wanted, he asked if I’d had it before, told me it wasn’t too popular and suggested another phở option. Ok, sure, he should know better than me, so I agreed to his suggestion, which was a chicken phở bowl and we also got an order of egg rolls to share.
When our food came out, I was impressed with the size of the phở bowls (big), and they smelled great. They were great, and so were the egg rolls — I went a little heavy on the sriracha and chili sauce, but despite the new spicy factor it still tasted very good. And of course, the whole bill was less than $ 20.
Very nice job, I Luv Phở. We’ll be back for certain.

Been here numerous times and never had a complaint about their phở. If you come here super hungry, order their largest bowl because it’s HUGE! Service is great, broth is yummy, and not over priced.

I love this restaurant! I used to go here every weekend, but I don’t know why we stopped. The food is great, and are in large protiins, which is good, since you get what you paid for! They even allow you to bring home your leftovers, since you obviously paid for it. Their bathroom is really nice although people seem to like to trash the toilet seats… Yuck! But it is not the restaurant’s fault. The employees are very welcoming and I will be back soon!

I eat here at least once a week. It is by far the best Phở I’ve ever had. Dark flavorful broth. The filet is tender. The French sandwich is so go. The wait staff is attentive. It is all around excellent.

The portions are huge and the food is delicious! The servers are very attentive and get your food to you as soon as it’s ready, which can be awkward if your friends food isn’t ready yet but I liked it. If you are going for the Phở, get a small unless you are really really hungry. They are open late, so it’s never too late to scratch that Vietnamese itch. Unless it’s 2 AM, then it actually is too late but you are probably just going to Waffle House at that time of night anyway. They have special restaurant chopsticks that they wash and will chase you down if you try to steal them.

I’ve tried other Phở places on BuHi and this is definitely my new favorite. They have A LOT of options but I went with the vegetarian phở after seeing a picture on Unilocal (I’m not a vegetarian). It was really delicious and had a ton of veggies, unlike some vegetarian options that only have basic ingredients. My bf had the chicken and was very pleased with his as well (although I thought mine looked better). We got 2 orders of the egg rolls (very good) and some fortune cookies too! All in all, a great (and extremely inexpensive) meal. Only downside: the next morning my hands had swollen from all the MSG. Wish they could go MSG-​free but I know that’s hard to find on Buford Highway.

My boyfriend and I used to go to Pho24 and it used to be our favorite but then we started to have bad experiences there so we looked for another place that was similar.
We found I Luv Phở and the minute we walked in we fell in love. There was a sweet younger lady that greeted us with a smile. (you never get that at Pho24). She sat us and I ordered Chicken Noodle Soup with White Meat. (the same thing I used to get at Pho24) and honestly I don’t know what they did different but it was better. Their egg rolls were even better!
The dinning room was very clean and very well maintained. Who ever did the designing in the restaurant did a great job with colors and textures on the walls.
Honestly the only thing I would change about this place is I would LOVE it to be open ²⁴⁄₇ like pho24.
You BET ill be back!

Weirdly enough, I like this place. I think the name kind of gave me a weird vibe in the past so I always avoided it. My boss & co workers said the same thing.
Now that my office is 10 mins away from BuHi, we decided to come here for lunch! One perk of Dunwoody work-​wise means… we’re closer to BuHi restaurants. Woo! Game changer.
Parking is good. They have lots of spots. But it’s kind of tight to drive around. My co worker has a mom-​mobile and it was a little scary trying to fit into a spot. I have a prius — so, I never have a problem.
Space & Service — The place is pretty big. I wasn’t even aware. So many tables and chairs. Service is good too. We get our food fairly quickly.
Food:
They don’t skimp on the bean sprouts, limes, jalapeños :D
Surprisingly, the broth here is great. Better than most places. Not as good as Phở Dai Loi — but still, the flavor in the broth was present. I was satisfied with it! The meat here is solid. I normally get the meatball and filet. Their meat texture is good & the taste is different. As in. it didn’t have any random ingredients when cooked. And it’s not your «1 week old» meat. They cook the meat just right. Yum. I am a fan. One of the rare times I will finish the entire bowl.
Only down side: their boba kind sucks :(Not firm at all.

There are a lot of other better Vietnamese restaurants out there, highly not recommended to come here. I am a I Luv Phở fan of Duluth and thought that their other branch should be similar so I came here to give it a try. It is definitely not the same and taste so much different from the one in Duluth.
The service, food both are terrible just like what other posters said. The waiters are extremely slow, not attentive, cashier makes mistake, everything was so wrong. It took them more than 30 minutes to serve my noodles and the tables beside us were served even though they came in later than us and they were Vietnamese.
I ordered the Phở soup noodles and Com Tam pork chop broken rice special. Both taste awful unlike their other branch. I was quite shock that the taste was so much difference.
The Phở soup was full of veg and meat were given generously. However, not much Phở noodles in it! The soup was full of MSG making you very thirsty after eating it. I did not even touch the meat and veg. The meat was not fresh by the way.
As for the broken rice pork chop, presentation looks almost same like Duluth’s but all their sides taste so bad and out of place. The pork chop was so boney, it is hard to cut them up with blunt knife! The meat was so hard to chew! It did not taste good and it was tough and not marinated well enough.
I don’t recommend anyone to visit this place. If you are craving for Vietnamese food, there are much better places or go to the Duluth’s branch. Not worth spending too, it is not cheap.

I’ve been to this location once and the other one on Satellite. This place is okay… The service is kind of terrible…
The price is average like other places and the portion is average as well. I’ve always heard terrible things about this place… Such as find bugs in their food an whatnot. So far I haven’t. I don’t crave this place.
The only thing great about this place that it’s open very late at night.
There’s decent amount of parking available which is convenient as well.
I’d choose to go to other Phở places than here…

This is your ordinary no frills sort of Viet place. We ordered a Banh mi bo kho and a Broken rice with 7 special sides. My bf and I really enjoyed some of the 7 sides — egg «meatloaf» and pork chop in particular were very good!
We squeezed some lime into the bo kho (be careful of squeezing too much!), but this dish turned out to be too spicy and salty for us, so we couldn’t finish it, but we really enjoyed the bread though.
It was our first time seeing an orange slice in our water glasses.
Service was good. No trouble in finding parking right outside.

I was in the Chinatown area craving some
Phở on a chillier day, and happened to be around I luv phở. The thing is, there are so, so many phở restaurants located relatively in the same area, so you really have to do your taste testing to find the place that’s right for your phở taste buds.
Exterior is a bit more friendly/​inviting than some other phở restaurants. The interior is pretty average, rather dull – I heard it’s cooler at night.
We ordered an extra large –10.95 if I’m correct, and a large-8.95. I would have to say the phở is great. Broth is amazing. Although I’m not crazy about phở, I’d have to say this broth kept me going. Prices are reasonable, and service is friendly and consistent.
All in all, I recommend this place whether you’re in the area or looking forward to driving a little further to reach some decent phở!

Good, authentic phở place. They have a small bowl (which I didn’t even finish so I’m glad that they have smaller sizes). Avocado shake was yummy. They have a lot of menu options. The only thing that put me off was when I didn’t finish my soup and they asked me why I didn’t want to take it to go. They didn’t just ask, they were kinda pushy about it. I was going out of town the next day and I’m also just not a big leftovers person. If not for that, they would have gotten 4 stars from me, but it was just kind of off-​putting.

Good quality phở with good quality meat. considering i am a phở snob, this place wasn’t bad. Especially for the quantity and price of food. I got the dac biet, the gan (tendon) was a little harder to chew that I’d like, but the rest of the cuts of meat was good. The soup quality was also good, on the salty side, but i prefer that over the sweet size. The husband got pork chop with rice, and you can replace what side you don’t want for an egg with no charge! 4 people. 4 meals, 40 bucks. SUPER CHEAP. FYI the XL is freaking GIGANTIC, you can swim it in. it’s so massive, i don’t know how one person can finish it.

New fav spot on buford highway for Phở! They do the best to go packaging around with already to eat bowls, lots of meats and veggies, and great noodles and broth! Definitely my wife and Is new spot for when we get a phở craving (which happens more than we would like to admit!!!)

I’ve been here a few times now, and each time I’ve had a pleasant experience.
There’s a small parking lot for the restaurant outside, and even at busy times, I’ve been able to get a spot. The interior isn’t anything fancy to write about, but relatively clean and spacious. I’ve never had a chance to go eat upstairs thought, probably for special occasions.
The menu looks appealing and streamlined, especially for Buford Highway. You’ll still find the assortment of your favorite Vietnamese dishes: banh mi, vermicelli, rice, and of course phở.
I wasn’t impressed by the phở. The broth seemed a bit mild, but it wasn’t bad by any stretch either. You’ll still get a rather large bowl even by ordering the smallest size. As for my go to rice and pork dish, it was really good. The meat was tender and flavorful, the veggies had the right amount of tang, and the rice, well it’s broken dry rice like it should be.
Prices are pretty fair, as both of these entrees were under $ 9. Service is better than most, as you’ll be promptly seated and have your orders out quickly. After that, your server may or not check on you again until you flag them down to get your check.
I want to give it a slightly higher rating because of the late hours. They’re open until midnight most days, and 1:00am on Friday and Saturday.

No frills, just good fresh delicious food. Off Buford HWY. Plenty of parking. Don’t expect fancy silverware and tablecloths, elevator music, or fine dining, this is as authentic as it gets. At times I thought i was in Hanoi. But don’t misunderstand their authenticity for lack of quality. While US Standards prize the façade over substance, this place prizes Quality and substance over window-​dressing. The food is absolutely delicious. Your waters will come with a slice of orange (nice touch), and your servers will be smiling (though running around serving a Lunchtime FULL restaurant).
They have many vegetarian options. And if you are small (like me), you can order a Small version of your Phở (which is under $ 8). The vegetables are fresh, the broth is hearty, and the noodles are plenty. Excited to come with a big group to order many more things from their menu. A fantastic place for large groups, big space, long tables, and very affordable. I am a fan!

I’ve been MSG bombed… I mean the broth had flavor, from MSG. But other than that, it had very little going for it. The tendon in my phở was probably what saved this from a one star phở experience, it was almost the correct texture of tendon that I adore. Almost.
The Extra Large bowls were neat, but I’ve seen that done elsewhere, and really, if it’s an extra large bowl of MSG, what’s the point? My mouth felt dry and I still wanted to gulp down the broth that was making it worse! Yes, there’s a whole tray of the normal spices, yes, it’s got large seating, yes, it’s packed with people of an Asian nationality on the middle of a Sunday afternoon.
But it’s called «I love Phở», and it ought to be, «I love MSG»

The charbroiled shrimp rice vermicelli I got was super awesome. The shrimp wa aspired right and cooker perfectly. I love it with sriracha hot sauce and fish sauce mixed in. Very filling lunch. It’s super busy during lunch time. After ordering my food came in about ten minutes. You pay at the counter at the entrance.
There are three locations of this restaurant. It is pretty popular for their phở. Also it is 24 hours so it is busy even at late night on weekends, after all there are not many late night places to eat.
This place is right across the street from Sweet Hut Bakery! And very close to Paris Baguette if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth after a meal :)

One of my favorite phở places to go to!
**For anyone new to phở: It’s Vietnamese noodle soup, which usually consist of a beef broth, wide rice noodles, and beef.
The phở here is pretty consistent, specifically at this location. The broth is really good and flavorful. I usually get the phở with just the plain thinly sliced beef. They also give you three portion option: small, large, and extra large. Like most places, they’ll bring you a plate of bean sprouts — I like to get mine steamed — and some herbs such as cilantro, basil, and culantro. Limes and jalapenos are also provided.
Kind of working backwards here with this review, but I felt I needed to highlight their phở first :)
Anyway, I also like to start off with the shrimp spring rolls. I get the kind that’s wrapped in rice paper and comes with shrimp, herbs (usually basil), and rice noodles. It’s served with a side of peanut sauce, but I usually like to dip mine with soy sauce. It’s one of my favorite things to start with when I get phở.
Parking lot is an average lot size, and I’ve never had trouble finding a spot to park. I’ve also never had to wait to be seated. They’re really quick with seating their customers and taking care of them right away, which is awesome if you’re really super hungry.
I’ve been back plenty of times to this location because it’s been really consistent and that’s always important. That’s why it’s definitely one of my go to phở places here in town. But on top of being a phở place, they also offer other items on their menus such as banh mi and rice dishes. I haven’t tried any of those items yet but will definitely soon!

Great phở. Broth is savory and comforting like mom’s. I also like the Hu Tieu My Tho with the clear noodles. Broth is flavorful. Whenever I get it as take-​out, I could eat this for two meals. The noodles and broth are very filling.
It is spacious inside, and I rarely have to wait long for a table (take out is another story). There’s plenty of parking. Great customer service.

The best things about most phở locations are: large portion, low (ish) price, and quick service.
True to this, I Luv Phở is a good spot to grab a phở lunch on your lunch hour. It is not close to my office, so I was worried about making the trip and arriving back in time, but all went well!
It was not terribly crowded during lunch, and our food came out less than 10 minutes after ordering. Awesome.
I ordered the Seafood Phở, and although I did not like any of the «seafood» add-​ins, the broth was fantastic! And after trying my companion’s steak phở, I am convinced that I just picked a poor add-​in.
Their tofu spring rolls were delicious. The peanut sauce was thicker than I prefer, though– not sure if it was just a thick batch or if it is always like this.
Overall, a decent quick lunch spot, but if I’m not pressed for time and I want a really good phở, I’d retreat back to my usual haunts.
