Buford Highway Restaurant Guide

We are fortunate to be located in the heart of Doraville, aka "Buford Highway" and are surrounded by Atlanta's most authentic Asian and Latino restaurants. I've made it a personal goal to explore as many as possible and compiled a list of my favorites below.

We do so many events and date nights my students kept asking for recommendations so here you go, in no particular order:

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - Classic cantina, great prices and Margaritas.

Arepa Grill - Small, hidden gem, Venezuelan spot specializing in Arepas, my favorite is the Pabellon, or shredded beef.

El Rey Del Taco - Legendary amongst locals and for good reason, the menu is huge and confusing but they're known for large shared platters.

Casa Vieja - Very authentic and popular Colombian restaurant.

Han il Kwan - Korean BBQ institution right around the corner, and one of Atlanta's best! This place is great for groups. All you can eat, grill on your table options are so fun, and it's also a Selected Restaurant from Michelin.

Canton House - Dim Sum (Chinese brunch) is what they're known for and it's the real deal. Little ladies wheeling carts of tasty dumplings, buns and various steamed, fried, shrimp, pork, chicken parts to sample and share.

Northern China Eatery - Sichuan food is not for the faint of heart... Famous for the use of sichuan peppercorns, an insanely spicy pepper with a uniquely numbing effect.

Quoc Huong - Unassumingly casual but incredible Vietnamese restaurant serving the best Pho (noodle soup) imaginable and $5 banh mi sandwiches that will rock your world. It's been here for decades and there's a reason it's full of locals.

Kamayan - Filipino food in a cool atmosphere, this was a recently chosen by Michelin as a Selected Restaurant.

LanZhou Ramen - Hand-pulled Ramen noodles made in front of you helped this spot achieve internet fame and Selected Restaurant status from Michelin.

La Me Zei - Taiwanese location with a diverse menu.

Pho 24 - Good pho available 24 hours.

Best BBQ - Small casual spot serving dim sum, duck and other Cantonese delights, located just inside the sprawling Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Baldino's - Classic chain serving hand sliced deli subs, this is my go-to lunch spot.
