Pho Laxang down the road has better papaya salad, but I agree on the pho and bun options.
I’m from Forest Park...
It’s actually restaurants there that have folks from the outside coming in the city?!
There's a spot named Sabiang Thai midway between Stockbridge and McDonough that has duck pho.
There's Gumbeaux's out in Douglasville that does some decent Cajun(disclaimer: I'm in no way any kind of expert on this front).
Hae Woon Dae BBQ up the way from Buford Hwy Farmers' Mkt is open until 6AM.
There are all kinds of options at all points of the compass. It's a driving city.
