Go with your craving. Buford Highway is metro Atlanta's international food corridor - miles of immigrant-owned kitchens spanning Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Mexican, and more. If the craving is pho - or it's late and almost everything else is closed - Master Pho at 5145 Buford Hwy NE, Doraville is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The corridor, in one minute
Buford Highway runs northeast out of Atlanta through Doraville and Chamblee, and it's earned a national reputation: strip mall after strip mall of first-generation restaurants cooking for their own communities. It's the rare food destination where the right answer changes with your mood - Korean barbecue one night, hand-pulled noodles the next, pho the morning after.
