I don't know of any vietnamese joints around buckhead.

If there are any close by, I'll give it a go next week.

Dont do it. I think vietnamese food is not good, plus what they call chicken looks a lot like cat.

Vietnamese food is very good. However, there are generally two kinds of joints:

Vietnamese restaurants - they will have a lot of noodle soup dishes (pho) and other dishes that look similar to other Asian (chinese, thai, etc.) places.

Vietnamese sandwich shops - these have the most awesome sandwiches, the most standard being roast pork w/ cilantro and shredded carrots and pate. They are insanely good and typically cost about $2.

I had one of my vietamese coworkers bring in a roast pork w/cilatro sandwich from the local Viatnamese sandwich shop in Garden Grove today, and it was excellent. I take back the bad things I said about vietamnese food. It was $2.35.

I also had the plesure of eating at Crustacean in Beverly Hills this past week, but I would not consider this a true Vietnamese resuarunt. I will say that it is in my top 5 favorite resuarunts.
