Michelin-recommended spot for pho, wings, shaking beef, BYOB
"If you love pho and want to expand your Vietnamese repertoire, Nam Phuong is the place to do just that. Their menu spans com, bun, pho, family-style dinners, and street food. Not only are their dishes mind-blowingly tasty, but their service is also blazingly fast. Go in, get stuffed." - Field UX
"Many people head to this popular Buford Highway restaurant to indulge in big bowls of pho or plates of shaking beef, but make sure to try the wings here. These crispy wings carry a zippy, funky flavor embedded in the meat with a bit of heat from the sweet chile sauce glaze. Wings come with a side of white rice and pickled vegetables. Beyond pho, there’s no shortage of solid choices on the menu at Nam Phuong. There’s also a location in Norcross. Michelin listed Nam Phuong as a recommended restaurant to try in its Atlanta dining guide, and it made Eater Atlanta’s Best Dishes We Ate roundup. There is a BYOB policy here, so you can bring a bottle of wine to pair with ginger beef or fried rice." - Michael Tran

"Slide into a booth at Nam Phuong and settle in because it’ll take a long time to look through their Vietnamese menu, which feels like the size of War and Peace (and makes for better reading). Or, just order the pho because it’s the best thing here (the pork intestines are a very close second). These bowls of pho are massive and could easily be shared by two people, but we’ve been too selfish for that, each time. However, we are generous enough to give you this guidance: don’t ruin your broth with extra condiments. It’s a little saltier than most places but is perfect as is." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Slide into a booth at Nam Phuong on Buford Highway and settle in because it’ll take a long time to look through their menu, which feels like the size of War and Peace (and makes for better reading). Or just order the phở, because it’s the best thing on the long-ass menu (the pork intestines are a very close second). These bowls of phở are massive and could easily be shared by two people, but that would be weird, and we’re selfish. But we’ll generously share this guidance: don’t ruin your broth with extra condiments. It’s a little saltier than most places and honestly is perfect as is. The meat here can be a little tough, but that’s easily forgiven since you’ll really want to slurp the liquid gold broth down with a straw." - juli horsford
