Hue Cafe and Deli — Restaurant in Lake City

Finally leaving a review about my recent favorite bun bo hue spot! Hue Cafe & Deli is a small mom n’ pop shop that has opened for nearly 2 years and sells great cha lua [vietnamese sausage/ham] as well. Keep in mind, their menu only has about 4 entrees and a variety of toppings which can be added to your pho ga or bun bo hue (their specialties). So, it’s a bit different from typical menus offered at other vietnamese restaurants, but they’re great at what they do. You might be thinking the noodle soups do not look as spicy nor as dark as you’re used to, but the pork&beef broth is super flavorful! Peppers and chilli oil are given on the side, so everyone is able to customize their spice level to their liking. Their portions are great & prices range from $10-$13 a bowl. I come here at-least once a week & their service hasn’t failed me yet! The servers and food runners wear masks and they keep a good distance between customers when you are dining in. Please support your local businesses! 📸 — red bowl • bun bo hue dac biet [hue style beef noodle soup special] includes pork hock, ham, beef shank, filet mignon, 📸 — white bowl • bun bo hue cha bo tai [hue style beef noodle soup w/ rare beef] includes pork...

Originally came here a few weeks ago on my lunch break for something quick like banh mi. To my surprise it was an old menu photo on Google so they didn't seem to have it when I got there. However I had some time to spare and felt compelled to stay and try the place out anyway. Upon entering the staff seemed very joyful to have customers and were very nice. It made me want to stay and eat. It seemed like a small mom and pop shop which made it feel more homey and welcoming. I tried their Bun Bo Hue and my boyfriend got their Chicken Pho. Being a seemingly small family owned restaurant, it took a few moments for the food to come out. It's not a chain restaurant so that's to be expected, but the wait wasn't too long. We had their peach tea and mango smoothie while we waited - both really good as well. When we got our food, the smell was amazing. The broth for both of our soups were really delicious and tasted authentic. A taste that I find hard to get at chain pho restaurants. I find with chain restaurants, their flavors can be lacking and sometimes bland. But not this one! Definitely will come back when I have more time to sit down and grab...

February 25, 2023 I’ve been here about 5 times and every time, I always get the pho bo (beef pho) here. It’s probably the most flavorful pho broth in atl. So flavorful that you don’t really need to add the hoisin and sirarcha sauce! I also got to taste the other dishes (mi xa xiu and bun bo hue) that were ordered by my friends and family and they’re also delicious!! This place can be overlooked because of the area it’s in, the limited menu (due to being a mom and pop shop), and the fact that they close earlier than other places, but it’s such a hidden gem. Eat here if you’re really into pho or bun bo hue and you won’t be disappointed! They are also really welcoming, attentive, and friendly. :)

Edited on September 19, 2023 to add a picture since I keep forgetting to update.. Two of the bowls are pho bo and the last one is mi xa xiu tom thit.

Edited on April 21, 2024 to add a picture of their new dish! So happy to see them add bun thit nuong cha goi to their menu. ☺️ Always love coming back here to...
