"So Ba isn’t on the main drag of EAV, so it’s a little harder to accidentally stumble across, but we think their pho alone makes them a worthy landmark. The small, unassuming green exterior is matched by their laid-back interior that squeezes in roughly 10 tables, which are always filled. Whether you’re having a casual date night, eating with your new baby in tow, or grabbing a cơm or bun dish with friends before hitting the bars, anything goes here. So Ba closes at 10pm and transforms into late-night spot Octopus Bar, so come early to get any of their pho options (they’re all tasty) and be sure to order extra brisket because it melts in your mouth and we always leave wanting more." - juli horsford
"Billed as a Vietnamese noodle house, So Ba is a local hangout for bowls of hot pho and bún dishes in the heart of East Atlanta Village. Pho here comes served in small, medium, or large portions, too. Owned by chef Nhan Le (Fishmonger), So Ba adjoins with Octopus Bar, which opens after the Vietnamese restaurant closes for the night." - Eater Staff
"We Suki Suki was our usual phở spot in EAV but since they closed, we come to So Ba when we need a fix. The small, unassuming green exterior is matched by their laid-back interior that squeezes in roughly 10 tables, which are always filled. Whether you’re having a casual date night, eating with your new baby in tow, or grabbing a cơm or bun dish with friends before hitting the bars, anything goes here. But the phở is the highlight with three sizes and eight different options (they’re all tasty). Order one with brisket and get extra for $3 because it melts in your mouth, and we always leave wanting more." - juli horsford

"An East Atlanta Village Vietnamese restaurant where the chef leading the new Beltline kitchen currently works; the Mexico-native chef frequently ran taco pop-ups nearby, which helped spur interest in giving him a full-time platform for Mexican street food offerings." - Beth McKibben
