Vien Huong

This restaurant has good Chinese/​Vietnamese foods. We usually order the family dinner cat fish in claypot, sweet and sour soup with shrimp, pig intestine with Chinese green mustard and crab with tamarind sauce.
The location is kind of deep in from the highway but worth the drive to try.

Our family loves to go eat at Vien Huong Resturant, the best vegtable is Snow Peas it is the best veggies ever they are so fresh and soft, also the Crispy, Salt and Pepper Lobster is awesome, if you have not tried it, Please do so. The owner is very kind and nice with customers, also the servers. Really recommend this place for family dinners, Birthday or a wedding party.

I called earlier today to check what time they were going to close as my fiancée was going to pick up dinner on his way home from work. I just called to place a Togo order and was told «today we have a full house we are not accepting togos, maybe next time» After what happened today, we will never be back. It’s not a good business practice to turn away potential customers because you have a «full house»

This place has amazing food… The best Cahn Chua since I moved here from California.

One of the best places to go to for a traditional Vietnamese family dinner. I love this place because they do not use too much salt or oil. Anything that should be crunchy is crunchy (ie. salt and pepper squid, tofu), anything that’s hot is hot and cold is cold.
We always get their fish maw soup, clams in black bean sauce, and fried green beans. The green beans are incredible, by the way. Who knew that you could get so much satisfaction from a green bean? They are both firm, yet squishy, crunchy and moist at the same time, sweet and salty and also spicy.
They also give you complementary dessert and are open late, which is a super plus when you have to work in the evenings.
Only thing that I don’t like is on Fridays they have this band and dancers, which is fun and all, but it gets loud and obnoxious really fast for those who are looking for just a quiet family dinner on the weekend.

Me and my wife ordered snow peas leaves and sea bass. That’s why they called it snow peas leaves, but in order to get more money out of it they put both leaves and branches and it’s very hard to chew.
But like a fool I gave it another chance, we went back again, order one thing and gets another thing, so we talked to the manager, turned out she’s the owner’s daughter and she’s very rude not only that I found out later that her mother had just about the same attitude
Long story short, that’s it for me no more vien huong for ever

The food is okay, manager is nice and the service. But what I don’t like is how the seating is arrange. Visited here for my after graduation feast but overall nice but not better.

Ginger & Scallion Lobster with Crab Soup please!!!
Vien Huong — a Vietnamese family owned restaurant in the same shopping center as Ai Tunes & across the street from I Luv Phở. Vien Huong is one of those rare Asian restaurant that the servers actually give excellent service while the food is authentic and flavorful.
This place is HUGE! I never knew why… until I was told that they host a lot of weddings & Vietnamese Concerts… no wonder why the place always looks like it’s ready to rock a party in a single beat.
What sets Vien Huong apart from it’s competitor is that they cater more to a family-​style meal. What I mean by this is if you come here a lot you would noticed that the majority of their customers are here with their families. The menu here also caters to a lot of the «family dinner menu «and family dinner menu consist of 4 different options. The portion are huge (shareable) so you don’t have to worry about not ordering enough for everyone. Expect to spend anywhere from $ 10 – 12 for an Entrée.
Some of my favorites:
— Ginger & Scallion Lobster
— Crab Soup
— Cat Fish in Clay Pot
— Salt & Pepper Tofu
— Sweet & Sour soup with fish or shrimp
Overall a pretty good place to grab a family style meal. The food are very authentic & flavorful.

My favorite place to eat Vietnamese family style dinner. The salt and pepper dungeness crab is so good and so is the salt and pepper fried tofu. The tofu retains its crunchiness even after 20 minutes into the meal. They sprinkle fried garlic and onions over it and this makes the dish! The food takes a while to come out but it’s worth the wait.
Along with the meal, I’ll get sautéed snow peas with garlic, shark fin soup, caramelized fish in clay pot, and the ginger & onion lobster is good as well. The deep fried flounder is good especially if you get the ones with roe

Vien Huong is a Vietnamese-​owned Vietnamese-​Chinese restaurant located in the Ai Tunes Karaōke shopping plaza off of Jimmy Carter Blvd. The restaurant used to be located in Duluth, but moved to Norcross years ago. It’s authentic and caters mainly to the Vietnamese community. It also doubles as a banquet and reception hall and hosts weddings and large private parties.
One thing I like about this restaurant is it’s open late. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 11am-​11pm. Tuesday: 5pm-​11pm. Friday-​Sunday, 11am-​midnight.
The restaurant is humongous and is always set up looking like it’s about to host a large wedding reception. Most of the tables are large and circular with lazy Susans (rotating turntables for food) in the center. The tables and chairs are draped in cloth. Due to the setup, Vien Huong is ideal for family and group dining in a communal atmosphere.
The large space also has a stage with a dual big screen video system, sound system, and dance floor. There’s a separate «VIP» room in the back with karaōke capability. There are also aquariums with live seafood such as fish and lobster.
The menu is a combination of Vietnamese and Chinese food. Don’t expect to find any banh mi (Vietnamese sub sandwiches) or phở (noodle soup) on the menu. Have you been to Happy Valley (Chinese) and Nam Phuong (Vietnamese) in the Hong Kong Supermarket shopping plaza up the road at Jimmy Carter Blvd. and I-​85? If so, the menu at Vien Huong is almost like a combination of those two restaurants.
The menu is quite big with an assortment of soups, seafood, chicken, beef, pork, rice and noodle dishes. Expect to spend anywhere from $ 10 – 12 per shareable entrée. If you have a group and can’t decide what to eat, they also have preset family dinners for group sizes ranging from 3 to 8 people. Dishes I’ve tried and recommend include:
M4. House special pan-​fried noodles (a.k.a. beef and shrimp chow fun)
S9. Vietnamese hot and sour soup
T3. Sizzling black bean beef and scallops
V13. Eggplant with garlic sauce
V12. Pepper salted tofu
With the exception of S9 (Vietnamese hot and sour soup), the above dishes are essentially Chinese/​Cantonese. In general, the Chinese food here is on par with most of the decent, authentic Chinese restaurants in metro Atlanta.
It’s hard to go wrong with chow fun. It’s a little bit greasy, but very tasty. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who tried chow fun and didn’t like it. The dish consists of flat rice noodles stir-​fried with bean sprouts, spring onions, and beef. Vien Huong’s «house special» version also includes shrimp. A savory plate of noodles for sure.
The Vietnamese hot and sour soup is known as «canh chua ca hay tom» in Vietnamese. It’s authentic, delicious, and highly recommended. It contains chunks of fresh fish, tomato, okra, celery, bean sprouts, and Thai chili peppers. It’s refreshing and, if you bite into the chili peppers, can bring the heat. The broth is light and comforting.
The sizzling black bean beef and scallops consists of slices of beef stir-​fried in black bean sauce. Other ingredients include onion and green bell pepper. As with other Chinese restaurants, the adjective «sizzling» refers to how the dish is served, on a black iron skillet, still sizzling from the heat of cooking. You’ll have to wait a few minutes for this dish to cool down. I think they skimp a little on the portion of scallops, but otherwise this is a fine dish, which is also a tad spicy.
The eggplant with garlic sauce is a solid, classic Chinese dish. The garlic sauce is thick and rich. Eggplant holds heat well, so be careful when diving into this dish.
If you’ve ever had salt and pepper squid at a Chinese restaurant (e.g. Canton Cooks), the salted pepper tofu at Vien Huong is practically the tofu equivalent. Tofu cubes are deep-​fried and then seasoned and pan-​fried with jalapeño, garlic, and minced spring onion. The result is an extremely savory, yet unhealthy, tofu entrée. If you’re not a fan of tofu, this might give you a reason to like it. Good stuff, but very much a heavy and salty dish.
One dish I don’t recommend is C2, catfish in clay pot. This is a Vietnamese dish also served up the road at the aforementioned Nam Phuong. Like Nam Phuong, the portion size of catfish is not very big. Also, the fish is chopped and served bone-​in, so you have to deal with many annoying small bones. The flavoring is okay. However, the fish we tried wasn’t fresh and some parts tasted downright fishy and unappetizing.
Service is good. The servers are nice and attentive and the food comes out from the kitchen in a reasonable amount of time. If you live or work nearby or happen to be in the area, take-​out is a good option.
Overall, Vien Huong is a solid Vietnamese-​Chinese restaurant and rates somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me.

My sister took our family here one night for dinner and I have to say, I really enjoyed the food. I had a good experience over all, the service wasn’t horrible, the staff was nice and continuously refilled our waters without us having to ask.
They have a family dinner menu consisting of 4 different options. The menu stated that they would feed a family of 8 – 10 and ranged from about $ 160 to almost $ 300. Even though we had a total of 9 people with us, and the waiter told us that the plates are bigger, we still thought that was a little pricey.
Each regular plate off the menu costs about $ 10-​$ 15 (some more) depending on what you get. We decided to get 7 different plates which we were all able to completely finish off while still feeling stuffed. Our total was only $ 80 too! Saved more than half of what we would’ve paid if we went with a family dinner. There was complimentary che at the end of our meal that I really liked also.
Some plates that I really liked were the peppered squid, deep fried tofu, sweet and sour pork, and shaken beef.
Overall, I would definitely come back. I work not too far from there so I’m actually thinking about grabbing some lunch there while typing this haha.

I actually got to eat here! If you look at my old review I had trouble being able to even eat here but I finally got the chance. I was really in between two stars and three because I’ve certainly had better experiences but the place is A-​OK but in a tone that is not very enthusiastic. I left it at a three because i’ll probably be back sometime.
The ambiance is lacking. Although the tables and chairs are set as if you’re going to a wedding reception the dress here is certainly casual. The waiters seem to be dressed to match its décor. I can’t expect too much from this place because this décor is common among many Asian restaurants like so.
I came on a Sunday and it wasn’t very busy. Half of the place which is used for actual parties had the lights turned off. The food was good but nothing to really rave about. I enjoyed the calamari though. What is unfortunate is that although it was 9:30PM they seemed to had run out of many things. I will probably come back but not often but I feel as if I need to come early just to get something I want to eat. Whats the point of opening late?
Service is okay and trying to get someones attention is a pain.
Overall I feel as if I try to come here it will be closed or will of run out of stuff. I hoping for a good experience down the line.

I called them in the morning and they said they close at 11. I knew I was gonna get there late after work so I wanted to be sure. Once I came in the people were standing and laughing in the back. I had to call to them to get their attention. The girl then came up to us and told us they were closed because of a family problem. They were only doing take out. Sounded like she just wanted to leave. After we got out they then proceeded to turn off the open sign.
UPDATE: I finally got to eat here after calling early once again. The girl who answered the phone first said they close at 11PM. I then proceeded to ask if they are closing early. She hesitated and then told me they close at 10PM. *IF YOU DONT ASK, THEY DONT TELL YOU THEY CLOSE EARLY* other then that, the food is good but the service is not so much.

Stumbled upon this place after dealing with a 45 minute wait with the terrible post office next door. I was on my lunch break and only had 15 minutes left so I needed food quick! I spotted this gem, Vien Huong, next door and boy, I was SO happy that I did. The place is HUGE and looks like it’s set up for private events or weddings. I didn’t mind this weird setup because my stomach was the only thing talking to me and consuming my brain at the moment. I was greeted by a super friendly hostess who gave me the regular and lunch menu. I decided to go with the shrimp broccoli with steam rice.
First impressions before eating
The portions are huge!
Great price for the size ($ 6.00+tax)
I didn’t see any sauce on the rice or shrimp, and my first thought is «Now how will this work when there is no sauce?
Equal portions of shrimp vs. broccoli
Impressions after
SO delicious! I ate the entire plate in 5 minutes!
The rice was cooked with added flavor/​spices that is not visible by eye, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise!
The meal was light but still filling because of the all the broccoli, carrots, and other veggies. I didn’t feel sluggish after like most Chinese food places.
The fortune cookie was stale but we can overlook that.
This was everything I’ve been looking for! Vietnamese/​Chinese food that is not greasy!
Next time I stop in and not in a rush, I plan on trying a couple of items off the menu like Stir Fried Lemongrass Chicken and won’t leave this time without the Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk.

Although located in a very shady area, don’t let the exterior fool you. The food here was pretty good. For the family meal deal my group ordered, each of us ended up paying $ 10 since the bill came out to be $ 64 plus change. Although there was six of us in the group, the food we received was good.
Everything was delish. I especially like the fried tofu the most. It was crispy and hot on the outside but soft and warm in the inside. The sauteed chicken was okay. The sauce it was cooked in was pretty good. Other than that, the chicken looked like something you can get at the market pre-​cooked. The fried shrimp was pretty tasty. I’m not a shrimp fan, but it was pretty good. They could have used a tad more seasoning, but it was succulent and large. The beef and green beans was super tasty. The green beans was cooked to perfection. The soup that first came out was plain, but it was something warm to fill our stomachs though. I thoroughly enjoyed the che at the end. It could have been a tad sweeter, but it was good nonetheless. The corn in it was a tad strange for me since I don’t eat enough che to know the different varieties, and plus, I don’t care too much for corn. But, it was pretty tasty.
Overall a pretty good place to grab a family style meal. The service was right there at average. With the number of customers eating there this past Monday night, you’d think the servers were more available when we needed them (i.e. refilling our water). The restaurant is located in a complex that’s across from the I Luv Phở in case you need a point of reference.

I had this place bookmarked for awhile now. since I saw that they’re a Vietnamese-​Chinese seafood restaurant… but never got a chance to try it. finally did .and I’m glad I did.
Their family dinners starts around $ 32 dollars .and it’s a pretty good deal. if you asked them for modifications .they’ll do it. as they did for us.(there’s an upcharge for more expensive items tho). We ended up getting the sweet and sour catfish soup, catfish claypot, salt & pepper shrimp, clams in black bean sauce, and some Chinese broccoli for around $ 60.
The flavors were all there and I enjoyed the meal. except for the clams. I asked if it was the clam with the basil leaves. he said yes. but it wasn’t .and there was a rock mixed in with our clam dish .they probably thought it was a clam since it was the same size and of a similar color .mind you. some of these items are market $.so that rock added cost but no extra seafood to our meal. I didn’t know until I was eating the leftovers the next day.
My favorite was probably their sweet and sour soup. I’ve only tried this at one other place in GA. and the version here is much much better. it’s almost as good as mom’s I’ll say .and I like the fact that they don’t just use catfish fillets .but whole sections of the fish… I personally think it makes for better flavoring .
Overall the flavors are delicious. but cooking technique could be improved. say like watching out for rocks in the clams. or cooking the catfish in the claypot a little longer so it’s more tender, not over-​frying the shrimp. etc etc.I really like the flavors. cooking technique just needs to be perfected a little
It wasn’t busy when we were there. and staff was attentive .our server spoke English well and they even gave us a tapioca and taro with coconut milk dessert (ché).
This place reminds me very much of those Chinese-​vietnamese seafood restaurants in CA that I miss very much. next time I’m here .I think I’m gonna get me some lobster and crab done the Asian way (it’s tastes so good with white rice)

Let me start of by saying. All my friends and family know how much I love to eat. When I make a complement on a restaurant on how great it is. You better believe it a great and awesome place to eat. The service is none other then five stars. Very friendly to the point to almost family. The food is always freshly made to order. Very authentic to the motherland food. To be honest, there is no other restaurant that can beat this place in Atlanta. This place is by far the best vietnamese/​chinese fusion food around. The money and time is well worth spending. The portion of the food is much greater then the price itself. Over all I give this place for service, price and portion a 5+.
Oh and the dessert is to die for!

Salt N Pepa tofu + family style din din = family style win win
I never wanted to try this place because it’s in a pretty shitty plaza. Came here with some family b/​c they tried it and liked it. I’m pretty glad I did, this place is dope as fuck. I didn’t try any of the chinese stuff but the family dinner for 6 was
.
All were great dishes but the best was the salt n pepa tofu. Tasted like PPQ’s tofu out in San Francisco. This place will become a regular spot for me.

Huh. I’m a bit surprised this place doesn’t have more reviews, but it might be because of that more popular 24/​hour place across the street. You know which one I’m talking about; the one I actually abhor, but anyway.
I don’t know about this place being considered a hole in the wall, like reviewer Andy N states. The restaurant is in a fairly big plaza, with lots of stuff surrounding it. The food here is the ISH and service is great. It probably helps that one of my friends is close to the owners. Stopped in with a group for the boys’ meeting and ordered family style dishes, which came with six, but they threw in an extra. ;) I can’t remember all the things we got, but some of them were the canh chua, salt and pepper tofu, fried fish, and some sauteed veggies. Everything was great, except I do remember that the canh chua was a bit sweet, which made it a little odd. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!

Favorite Vietnamese restaurant :)
Must Try:
Tamarind Pork Chops
Salt & Pepper Tofu
Sweet & Sour soup with fish or shrimp
Walnut Shrimp
Claypot Fish
The restaurant has recently been renovated, the space pretty much doubled with an addition of a dance floor and stage for the wedding parties.
