Vietvana Pho Noodle House, previously name Khanh Vietnamese Kitchen, opens Friday, August 16, in the former Our Way Cafe space in Avondale Estates. The new name “reflects the idea of Vietnamese food meeting nirvana,” according to the press release. Vietvana is owned by Dinh Tran and Khanh Dang, who also own Khanh Vietnamese Pho and Sandwich in the north metro Atlanta city of Duluth.
The restaurant features murals of Vietnam throughout the dining room, a large test kitchen, and an outdoor patio. Tran and Dang say they have spent months working to perfect their pho noodle and banh mi bread recipes as well as courting local farmers for ingredients to use in the dishes for Vietvana.
