Pho Dakao Smyrna Ga.

Pho Dakao in Smyrna, GA is an absolute gem! I ordered the brisket pho and it was packed with rich, flavorful broth, with plenty of meat and noodles. I ordered the medium bowl and it was more than enough. I even took some home and enjoyed it again later. My husband also loved the broth and how much flavor was infused throughout the entire dish. He ordered the pork banh mi to go, which he’s had before, and once again it did not disappoint. He hasn’t stopped talking about it and now says he could eat it all the time because it’s that delicious. The staff was incredibly attentive and very friendly, making the entire experience a solid 10/10. The restaurant itself is small but very cute, with a cozy and authentic feel that adds to the charm. We’ll definitely be back! 🍜🥖

I frequent this place often because the food consistently meets quality standards, and the service is reliably excellent. It's my go-to spot for enjoying a peaceful, solo meal with a relaxed vibe. The Brisket Pho with shrimp is my fav.

So I am in town for work and we were deciding on a nice Vietnamese restaurant to eat at! Look no further. I highly recommend Pho Dakao, their customer service was outstanding, the attention to detail, the feeling like you are at home eating a warm meal! Atmosphere is great, weather is business or just a bite to eat. This is the spot. I ordered the P10 Combo Pho, has a little bit of everything in it, the taste before me adding spice was a 9/10 I would say adding lime and chili sauce will spike up the Taste to a 10/10. Would definitely eat here again.

Absolutely the best Phó you will find in Georgia! I’ve been everywhere and they stand out to be my main restaurant for it! The kicker is the entire menu is delicious! Quick is an understatement, I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for my Phó! Chicken is my favorite and I refuse to go anywhere else! Even when the restaurant is busy and full. They still have excellent service and care! Never had to ask for a refill! Thank you for being an amazing place! Peaceful decorum and chill vibes from the crew! A must visit if you’re in the Marietta Area! If you don’t like Phó, they will change your mind! 💙🤟🏽

We came to Pho Dakao in Smyrna with a party of 5, and overall had a great experience. The service was fast, friendly, and very attentive, which we really appreciated. We ordered a few appetizers and several combo pho bowls. One thing we didn’t love was that we asked to remove the tripe and tendons from the combo pho, thinking the other meats would be increased to balance it out. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and the bowls felt like they didn’t have enough meat. Other than that, everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and we still enjoyed our meal.

I was sat immediately upon entry. Waitress to my order, very nice girl. My food came out maybe within 5 minutes of me sitting. I ordered steak pho. It was soooooo good! Around $15, decent sized portion.

Pho Dako is hands down one of the best spots in Smyrna for authentic Vietnamese food. The pho broth is rich, flavorful, and tastes like it’s been simmered for hours—the perfect comfort meal. Portions are generous, the ingredients are always fresh, and everything comes out hot and fast. The staff here are so welcoming and attentive. Even when it’s busy, they make you feel taken care of. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and has a family-friendly vibe. I’ve tried several dishes, but the pho and spring rolls are my favorites—they never disappoint. If you’re in the area and craving Vietnamese cuisine, this is the place to go!

Good pho restaurant. The spring rolls are fresh and tasty. Pho is a okay quality and also tasty. The soup is good but not hot enough.

Pho on a rainy day is always a good idea! Met up with family who lives in the area, as we are driving home. The restaurant can pack a good number of customers in what you'd think was a small space. We got in just before the rush, and as we were getting ready to pay and leave, every table was full. There's plenty of options for everyone on the menu. This place has beef broth, chicken broth, and veggie broth pho!! You can modify your spring rolls (they're not pre-made). Ordering happened pretty quickly, and food came out in a timely manner. The Banh Mi (not pictured) my brother ordered took some time to come out and it took us a while to pay out. Overall, good environment, delicious food, great experience.

Five stars all day. Facility, food, and service is five stars. Ordered Banh Mi Pork to eat (dine in), and ordered Papaya Salad with Pork, Fried Egg-rolls, and Pho Chicken to go. Highly recommend

Decent pho. If you're looking for a quick bite stop here. I wouldn't go out of my way though.

I came in and ordered veggie pho and it took less than 5 minutes to arrive! Fast service, tasty food. The pho was hot with fresh vegetables. The staff here are Nice staff.

The service is great here and I really enjoy the banh mi sandwiches they have. The pho to me is on the bland side, I wouldn't go back here for pho but the Banh mi and Thai tea are delicious.

Hey I don't have a bad thing to say about this food or my experience. It was cold this past Saturday so we craved Pha and were shopping on Cobb Parkway so we gave this place a try. It was already packed around noon but we were seated right away and provided drinks and condiments before ordering our food. I am glad they have 3 sizes to choose from and we ordered the small bowls at 14 bucks each. Both were very flavorful and filling. We also tried the crispy veggie spring rolls so good! Will be back.

Order iced coffee, springrolls (clear noodles) and V1 ..... fantastic . They have an open kitchen and looking at the chefs , I knew this was going to be the best ..

Was feeling down and wanted some comfort food so Pho was my go-to. This was close to me and saw the good reviews so I'd give it a try. The service was good, and always is since I've been here a couple of times. I'm always served quickly and seated immediately. The Pho is always amazing. Great temperature, great portion size, great flavor. They have all the extra ingredients to add; hoisin, cilantro, jalapeños, Sriracha, lime, bean sprouts, you know, the works! The place is clean down to the bathrooms, and they have TVs so you can the news and even some good ol Pink Panther on YouTube. Give it a try! It's busy around lunch time and early dinner but it's still worth a try! Great price, great food, real Pho, and a great atmosphere!

Our go to spot for Pho around Smyrna, since driving to Buford Highway is quite a hike. We have done take out several times and this is our first time dining in. We came in on a Tuesday evening around 5:30 pm and our service was pretty fast. We would definitely be getting pho, since it's a perfect comfort food on cold days

They said they had everything for my togo order, but the peanut sauce was gone. I'm disappointed.

Everyone here is very friendly, the service is fast, and the restaurant/bathrooms are clean. The food is good! I ordered the P2 (add veggies) and shrimp spring rolls. I will definitely return.

So good! Came here for a pick me up after a late night and the pho did not disappoint. Flavorful and a great portion size. The egg rolls were delicious too.

Excellent spring rolls, egg rolls, and sandwiches. Quick and friendly service. Ample parking. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu. Haven't dined in yet, but ambience looks great.

Excellent restaurant and comfortable seating. The food and service here are high quality. I frequent this place with full confidence that it will be worth the money, drive and time. Highly recommended

We were planning to have our meal at next door mexican restaurant, but on an impulse decided to try this location. We ordered chicken & shrimp soup and a pork bowl. The broth had no flavor., accompanying sauces also did not add to the taste. Overall below average food.

The bánh mì tasted good and was packed with meat which is always a great thing. I thought the wait staff wearing hoodies while taking orders and serving food was... interesting... Did not change the way the food tasted though! Pretty good.

Food was real decent here. I order the grilled pork vermicelli and the Vietnamese papaya salad. I love papaya salad and this style was different from what I grew up with. But not in a bad way. It was sweet and not spicy (in my opinion). The vermicelli was done nicely. I think the egg roll was the best part of the dish tbh. The meat was my least. It just seemed to be missing something. Other than that, from wait times and the wait staff I will still give it 4 stars. Definitely when I visit again, I would go there.

I guess. Its Cobb County so I don't think there are a lot of places to choose from. That being said... it's good for the area. I have been there several times but this time they pissed me off and then I got mad at myself for not sending the pork only spring rolls back when they first came but... why the hell would I order those when all I want is fried food since I am supposed to be dieting lol AND why would I ever order something without shrimp when I love shrimp and always try to eat them when I'm not with hubby who is allergic but I digress . all in all it's worth checking out when in Smyrna and have a craving for Vietnamese food. Service is usually fine and it's always nice and clean.

Came to Pho Dakao with some friends. They discovered over a discussion that I had never trues Pho before and brought me to try it for the first time. It was a great experience! The team was super friendly and the Pho was great. The Broth had an excellent flavor, balanced with the brisket. The next time it in the mood for Pho I'll definitely be back to try another dish!

Awesome Pho restaurant, I was introduced to pho about 30 years ago by my best friends family recipe, since then I just love to try different pho restaurants and there are a lot more now than 30 years ago. I travel a lot and eat a lot of pho across the country, this is some of the best pho I've ever had, you can taste the pride in this pho like my friend's family recipe. Other dishes like summer rolls are fresh and hearty, just everything about this place you can taste the quality. Service is great as well, obviously mom and pop, but all servers have been excellent, friendly and attentive. Now visiting this restaurant regularly for about 5 years, and have never had anything less than a great experience... so I always try to visit Pho Dakao when in the ATL area.

The restaurant was clean. Service was quick and attentive. We ordered brisket pho and a kid fried rice. Pho was on point, though the soup could be hotter for it to be warm longer. The bean sprouts are fresh and crunchy (I hate soggy bean sprouts!). Kids love their fried rice. I like it too, not greasy and lightly seasoned.

My husband and I came across Pho Dakao when we grew tired of heading all the way out to Buford Highway every time the craving for pho emerged. For hot, rich bowls of hearty broth with noodles, this place hits the spot. Any pho bowl can be ordered in three different sizes - medium, large, or x-large (with incremental price increases with each), and the broth of my usual tofu pho has always been remarkably deep and tasty, especially with the add-in herbs and sprouts that come with each order of pho. Recently, I caught sight of the other side of their menu, where they feature a vegan pho (the extra-large is only $14, which is a steal considering how large the bowl is!). My husband bounces around the menu every time he comes, and there were a few misses, such as the odd grisly piece of meat. He's also come to find that the pho far outshines the vermicelli bowls on the menu. Even still, there's nothing that's been so sub-par that we wouldn't come back for another meal. Service is always fast, polite, and responsive, making Pho Dakao our go-to place for solid Vietnamese food.

Service was amazing! Everything! Food was amazing!! Unfortunately, I threw up 30 minutes right after eating the steak pho with tripe and a side of fried rice. So disappointed I was so excited. Perhaps I got a bad scoop. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS AMAZING!!!!! Downside was throwing up.

Not all restaurants are a Cheesecake Factory, which means that establishments should not be putting things on the menu things they simply can't prepare. Sadly, Pho Dakao was one of those examples. Let's start with its star dishes, which are the Steak Pho and the Combination Pho. Combination pho was frankly excellent. Delicate, juicy and flavorful pieces of meat. A light broth that has a mild and subtle flavor. Complimented with some bean sprouts that were of second grade quality, many starting to rot. Basil was also a bit beat up from handling. But, the star dish was quite good. Yet, here is where the Cheesecake Factory element comes in. The Chicken Pho, which is fairly not their speciality, was served with chicken so tough, it was inedible. Chewy and over cooked, impossible to eat. While the rest of the chicken pho and the broth were pleasant, it was a bit disappointing as a meal to cook a protein like that. People working here are very kind and due to that, I simply cannot give it a lower rating. After forgetting about bahn mi that was ordered, they brought a sweet tea to go to say sorry. Very attentive and fast as well. Another important element, the design is very tasteful and incomparable to most hole in the wall Pho establishments in the city, while keeping the prices very reasonable. Yet, I would recommend Yelpers to also consider the consistently low health scores over last four years, which is quite an alarming indicator of what happens in the back.

Food is ok. We got the pho and though it was ok it wasn't great. I was excited to find a place for pho nearby but I think I'm going to have to keep driving to chamblee for Vietnamese food.

I'm on a mission to find some of the best Pho in Atlanta. So far this one is it! I need authentic pho with vegetarian options with an amazing vegetarian broth. This one was and 5 stars. Super convenient and pricing was good.

I've been consistently ordering vermicelli with pork and shrimp. Lately the quality has been decreasing with every order. I get nothing but Slabs of fat in comparison to the meat. Portions are also inconsistent, some days less noodles or vegetables or combination of both. The egg roll is burnt with EVERY order.

Good veggie options, and reasonable prices! I got the veggie stirfry to go and really enjoyed my food! Only taking off one star because I had a little bit of a stomach ache after, potentially from too much sauce. Overall, the flavors were good, and the food was ready quickly!

I went to this Smyrna location for my birthday, and I have to say a lot of good things about this spot. Song was our waiter, and he was awesome! I asked him if we could sit outside and he set us up perfectly. I told him that I usually get the P1 (Steak Pho), and asked him if I should get anything else. Song informed that if I like steak, the combo pho had steak, flank, and brisket. So I ordered that and I'm glad I did. I was thoroughly impressed flavors presented in their pho. The the quality of food provided here is truly vibrant. This team really knows what they are doing here. The pho I had, the taste, genuinely made me happy. It's really nice to know that places like this still put their heart and soul into cooking delicious meals. I will for sure be back.

Since we were feeling under the weather, we ordered this for takeout and did not sit inside. We got 2 medium brisket phos, and an appetizer combo. The appetizer combo came with spring rolls and egg rolls. I'm not a big fan of spring rolls in general but they were good, even though I won't be getting them again. The egg rolls were crunchy, flavorful and very tasty. Honestly just 1 of the medium phos was more than enough for the 2 of us to share! We saved the leftovers for lunch the next day. The brisket pho was great. It had plenty of meat, the noodles were good and the veggies were fresh. The broth was aromatic and satisfying! An overall good takeout experience.

Great spot. Lots of parking. Quick service. The spring roll and the meatball pho were made well and flavorful. Will definitely be back.

Outstanding!! Great service and food and smiles!! My wife is from Thailand and she loves their food!!

The best Broth hands down. Excellent customer service. Family friendly environment. Definitely worth tasting. Don't forget to try their coffee/tea too! Thanks guys!

Best pho ever, If I could give them 10 stars I would!! I go here at least 2-3 times a week, the restaurant is clean, the service is always excellent and they remember my order every time. Whether lunch or dinner, sunshine or rain this place will never disappoint.

Great Pho! Tried Uber Eats for the first time. I would not suggest this for order that require some thing you need to eat very hot (Pho soup base ). Although it didn't take him much time I think by the time he picked it up It might have sat there awhile and the ice in the drink melted . I was just craving for I had ordered from this place and picked it up before but had a busy day and thought I would try or order yet via Uber eats not doing this again! The soup for the Pho needs to be as hot as possible so it can cook the meat and other things you put in the soup. So I heated it up! I ordered the Pho combination and ask for extra brisket pretty good deal for $1.50 more! I ordered something that didn't agree with me and Ann was very accommodating and try to find me something that wasn't so salty and was agreeable - the shrimp spring roll! Very tasty! Will go back and continue to go back !

Based on the reviews I thought this place would be amazing. It was definitely eh. Might just be a me problem

We got our order to go , I'm sure it would have tasted much better had we ate there. We took ours back to the hotel in which it got cold. We ordered Pho with steak and one with chicken. Also ordered the vermicelli with chicken. Very great flavor , I added hoisin and sriracha sauce to it. The beef and chicken broth for the pho was very tasty fueled my soul! I would return for sure

Love the Chicken Pho here, however recently picked up order and was disappointed to see a .75 Togo fee added to check. Think that is a bit much, it will probably be a while before I order anything to go here!

We've had a lot of Pho and this was up there with some of the best! The broth was so flavorful on its own, which is always a big win. The noodles were a great texture. We got the steak pho and brisket pho. The bowl came with lots of meat and the medium was the perfect size for us. Great service and clean restaurant.

I ordered the steak pho and my husband had the marinated tenderloin, both were amazing. Full of flavor and so delicious. Customer service is also great, I will definitely be back and bringing friends!

Arguably the best restaurant in Smyrna. Banh Mi is one of the best sandwiches you'll ever have, staff is really cool.

Prompt service and delicious food. The servers are friendly and pay attention to detail. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and great place to enjoy with friends.

Let me preface by saying I'm not Vietnamese, but I have had lots of pho before and Pho Dakao's pho is one of the tastiest I've had. Their broth is beefy, salty and full of umami. My sister and I shared a medium pho combo (forgot to take a pic), which was worth sharing for two people. The noodles were nice and tender with decent portion of meat. We also shared the pork and shrimp rolls. My favorite part of the spring rolls was the sauce. It reminded of lumpiang sariwa (fresh spring roll) sauce in the Filipino culture. Their service was also on point! We got our food quick. I highly recommend this place if you don't feel like driving to Buford Hwy for pho.

This was my second time eating from here. I have eaten oriental food before especially Vietnamese. The food was most definitely a 5 out of 5. You can not go wrong w. Anything on the menu! I think where things took a turn for me was when the entree I requested was going to take a few more minutes than my other party. I didn't care I just didn't want just rice. Since I don't like rice like that. Anyway, the waitress must've thought I never ate from here or Vietnamese food because I wasn't dressed down like I normally do when I come dine in. But it wasn't busy and I had a long day. I just didn't need instructions on how to pour in the dressing for my entree. Also the to-go container I wanted were the ones they used for delivery orders since the dressing was runny and I didn't want it to spill in the bag. They told me I could used those boxes. But it did not make sense to me because we had already dined in and tipped well. I will come back to give it another try hopefully I will have a better experience.

Delicious Pho! Not the best ever but would come back again for sure. Next time I want to try to vermicelli bowl or the lemongrass chicken. Looked amazing!

This place is really good for ramen, unfortunately they did get both orders wrong when we went. Although it was still delicious kind of disappointing it was not what we asked for. The waiter never came to check on us either and that is something that really bothered me. The place had 4 tables of people seated and the staff were sitting at a table on their phones. Personally would try again and hope for a better outcome on service. Not pictured: egg rolls and spring rolls (the peanut sauce is AMAZING)

For starters, we got the pork banh mi. This was actually my favorite item we ordered. It was good. The pork was marinated and cooked really well. We decided to give the spicy lemongrass chicken and brisket pho a try. The spicy lemongrass chicken definitely has a kick to it, which I really enjoyed. I love the lemongrass flavor along with turmeric. I was not feeling the fried rice. It tasted like it was made with brown rice instead of white rice. I should've ordered this plate with some gold ole jasmine rice instead. The brisket pho was alright. The broth was definitely not the best I've had and needed more seasoning. The Thai milk tea was great!

So so soooo good. I am visiting from Houston, where we have thee best Pho hands down. I know good Pho when I taste it. This was DELISH!!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
