Overall, we had a good experience.
Pho Dai Viet Restaurant is in Chastain Square, a large shopping center with many popular businesses. Fortunately, there is also a large and free parking lot that provides an ample amount of parking spaces for all customers.
We came to Pho Dai Viet at about 6:30 pm on a Friday night. It wasn't very busy with customers coming in to sit down and eat. Business, though, was steady due to many people coming in for take out.
We were seated immediately by one of the welcoming and friendly employees who did everything in the front of house, meaning he was the host, server, busser, floor sweeper - everything - and he did everything while displaying great customer service. He provided excellent service the entire time we were in the restaurant, checking on us periodically and seeing if we needed anything.
Prices were reasonable. I ordered a large pho with steak, flank and brisket, R ordered a medium pho with steak, and we ordered the shrimp spring roll appetizer to share. The shrimp spring roll came out within 5 minutes of us ordering it, and were two rolls cut in half. Compared with every other Vietnamese restaurant we've ordered spring rolls from, these spring rolls were thinner and shorter (if you put both of the halves together. Other than the rolls being overall small, they were delicious and were even better when dipped into the peanut sauce that came with them. Pho toppings of bean sprouts, lemons and basil sprigs that were brought to our table on a small plate were fresh; however the total amounts of toppings was much smaller than what other pho restaurants give their customers. The bowls of pho provided a plentiful amount of meat and noodles, which I liked. The meat was good, and all of it was bite sized and tender. I didn't care for the flavor of the broth because it seemed watered down, and lacked the rich flavor that I was expecting. The large sized bowl of pho was filling. We were so hungry that I forgot to take pics of the bowls of pho.
I would come back to try the vermicelli noodle dishes and their rice dishes.
