For over 50 years, Buford Highway has been a landmark destination for international cuisine in Atlanta. Heavily influenced by immigrants across the decades, this 30-mile stretch of highway represents some of the best, most diverse dining options in the Southeast, including Korean barbecue joints, family-run Vietnamese pho spots, Mexican taquerias, and Chinese dim sum houses.
It would be impossible to spotlight every amazing restaurant on Buford Highway, but this map highlights the essential restaurants, including several recommended by James Beard and the Atlanta Michelin Guide. So, strap in and go restaurant-hopping on Buford Highway.
This latest update by Michael Tran includes new additions like Sinaloense Pollo Asados, Java Saga, and Plaza Fiesta. The new illustration is by Tiffany Chau (@tiffblot), a local Asian-American artist whose watercolor artwork can be found on the We Love Buford Highway restaurant month stamp card.
