You’ve found someone special and settled on a night out, but the real challenge begins: choosing a Vietnamese spot in Norcross that shows you’re adventurous, thoughtful, and have exquisite taste. That could mean steaming pho in a cozy corner or vibrant bánh mì in a bustling strip. Or perhaps it’s an elegant destination that feels both authentic and exciting. Whatever your vibe, these 10 restaurants will set the perfect scene.
Nam Phuong Vietnamese Restaurant
$ | (770) 409-8686 | WEBSITE
Nam Phuong Vietnamese Restaurant used to be a place where you’d bond with your family over the incredible value of their set courses during the bustling dinner rush. While those family dinners were certainly memorable, the clean and casual spot is more relaxed now. Aside from serving some of the most authentic Vietnamese food around, there’s a massive menu with over 150 dishes, standout items like the shaking beef, and consistently amazing flavors that make every visit worthwhile.
Wow Banh Mi N Pho
$ | (770) 558-6168 | WEBSITE
Sometimes, you want a meal that feels like a warm hug from a friend. This is the Wow Banh Mi N Pho specialty. The Vietnamese restaurant in Norcross has a $15 lunch special with things like well-seasoned shaking beef, crispy fried rice, and flavorful pho. Come here to sit at clean tables under bright lights, admire the simple decor and the way it makes the food look even more inviting, and eat while friendly staff check on you. Also, the portions are big, so plan accordingly.
Super Banh Mi Pho
$ | (678) 292-6912 | WEBSITE
This Dragonball Z-themed spot has one standout: the $12 Banh Mi Dac Biet that you devour in minutes (and if that’s not quick, we don’t know what is). Screens are traded for Goku episodes, and your meal is layered with a base of crispy baguette and topped with different meat cuts and pickled veggies. Sort through the boba drinks on the menu to customize your sip, and don’t be surprised if you need a to-go bag for your leftovers.
Hu Tieu My Tho – VN Noodle
$ | (470) 767-8888 | WEBSITE
Pho and banh mi are classic Vietnamese staples. But the great news is that if neither of those appeal to you, you can still have a delicious meal at Hu Tieu My Tho – VN Noodle in Norcross. The charming noodle shop has an arsenal of excellent soups and noodles, but a few of our favorite seafood ones, too (the house special noodles are a must), along with fresh, flavorful veggies and a fantastic iced coffee.
You’ll want to try the Hu Tieu (H1 or H2) for a satisfying bowl, but the painted art on the walls is pretty alluring, too.
Pho Viet Number One in Norcross
$ | (770) 558-6289 | WEBSITE
Most of Norcross’s (excellent) Vietnamese restaurants fall into the casual category. What we lack are pleasant and comfortable options for a relaxing family meal, with that same quality food. Until Pho Viet Number One, that is. The beautiful Norcross spot is perfect for a kid-friendly dinner, when fresh ingredients and helpful service are the name of the game.
Don’t miss the Pork Meat over Vermicelli noodles with Basil and Cucumber slices and Bean Sprouts, the popular pho with brisket and filet mignon, and the good broth that reheats well.
VN Tofu
$ | (470) 533-9999 | WEBSITE
VN Tofu is a compact Vietnamese spot in Norcross that has a remodeled, clean, and organized store. It’s bustling with activity, which people seem to like in the context of convenience. Also, the mung bean cake, black rice, and rice noodle dishes are all good, especially their authentic banh mi filled with various meats and topped with pickled vegetables. Try to keep it together while you browse the self-service setup and not get overwhelmed by the huge array of apps, desserts, and snacks.
Yany Express
$ | (770) 368-0094 | WEBSITE
Yany Express is a classic that takes you back to a time before foodie trends. Walk into this spot in Norcross, and you’ll see families sharing steaming bowls, regulars who’ve been eating bún chả cá here since it opened over 15 years ago, and the kind of authentic service that makes you feel like you’re in someone’s home kitchen. The menu is extensive and has everything you’d expect from a traditional Vietnamese joint, including their famous (and genuinely excellent) bánh canh cua.
Share the cơm tấm đặc biệt 7 món and the bún bò huế, or get something pho-based for your comfort food moment.
Pho Dai Nam Vietnamese Kitchen
$ | (770) 680-4987 | WEBSITE
Pho Dai Nam is a Vietnamese restaurant in Norcross, and it’s one of our regular stops when we want a satisfying meal that starts with flavorful pho and even better spring rolls. Everything here is served with efficiency—from the helpful staff that greets every table to the broth that forms the base of most of their noodle soups, rice plates, and vermicelli bowls. Just remember service can be inconsistent.
Pho Van Loi
$ | (770) 864-1657 | WEBSITE
Like its Hong Kong Market food court neighbors, this Vietnamese spot just northeast of Atlanta excels in huge bowls of steaming pho. But even if your companion isn’t interested in the rich beef broth, there are lots of other delicious, reasonably priced back-ups. On weekend afternoons, Pho Van Loi can get crowded, thanks to both the aromatic steam and the groups who drove 40 miles to enjoy it. So if you’re looking for something more low-key, head there earlier in the day.
Wong Kee BBQ and Peking Duck Restaurant
$ | (678) 205-0105 | WEBSITE
Wong Kee BBQ and Peking Duck Restaurant arrived with plenty of buzz—it’s the refreshed version of a longtime local favorite. By day, this spot shines on its own thanks to its fantastic Cantonese BBQ and lunch plates. But step inside after the renovation, the space feels modern and welcoming, the service stays friendly, and it turns into a reliable go-to for a satisfying meal.
Skip the heavier options and focus on the BBQ classics: the crispy pork is beautifully cooked, the roast duck could use a touch more roasting but is well-seasoned, and you’ll savor every bite of the wonton noodle soup with its rich, fragrant broth.
