I was craving the classic Pho soup while traveling in the area and that place was perfect. A genuine Vietnamese mom and pop shop with huge portions and very chill no frills vibe. The soup was godly. Maybe the fact that I was hungry helped too.
Not the place for fine dining and fancy food though.

This place dates back to the late 70s when Dionne Warwick was singing about San Jose. Da Lat itself is a large city in the central region of Vietnam
Food is solid, decor not so much. Prices are about 15 to 20 percent lower than most other places, especially the newer trendier places. This is your grandparents' Vietnamese restaurant and the clientele is there to match.
There is a little bit of everything here but is seems Da Lat is better at rice rishes and cold noodle bowls. Pho is a southern Vietnamese specialty and may not be what Da Lat specializes in. I could be wrong.
The egg rolls and spring rolls were hefty and good. I had the grilled pork chop rice plate. The portions are easily enough for 2 people. Ask for a fried egg on top.
A mix of locals, students and even cops eat here.
Some people park on the sidewalk, but most park on the street.
Don't go to Da Lat for the atmosphere but do go there for the food. Other people have for over 40 years.
Best Banh Xeo I’ve ever had! They were ginormous and filled with plenty of pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts. Comes with plenty of fresh vegetables on the side. Highly recommend!
Da Lat has been around since I went to San Jose State. That was a long time ago. There are better hu tieu restaurants in SJ. Da Lat will suffice if you don't want to drive. We had the hu tieu dac biet, (around $15) and a combo crispy noodles $16. The hu tieu was OK. The soup weren't all that. It needed more bone in the broth. The combo crispy noodles was rough. It looked good but didn't taste great. First, the noodles were overcooked giving it a stale crunch. Too rough. The gravy was too watery. The toppings were a mishmash of meats, seafood and vegetables. We didn't regret coming here but if we drove a bit further, dinner would have been better.
I travel from San Francisco just to try this place. Service was great and food came out fast. Chicken was dry in the noodle soup. Beef steak pho was well done. Seafood noodle was good. Beef ball was good out of the 4 dish. Ice coffee was a bit strong which was good.
Look at that shrimps 😳
This place been around for years. I always stop by Đà Lạt for a meal when I passing by. Good place for a quick bite. Don't mind those drugs deal going on outside lol.
Best veggie spring rolls 😋 and they have the clear noodles 🍜
A work colleague brought me here today and I tried this AMAZING dish she recommended, I have no idea what it's called but it was #46, with clear noodles, dry. It comes with a side soup you can dunk your noodles in and a side of sauce.
The dry option was truly divine but I'm dying to go back and try it "wet" in soup form. I also want to try their vermicelli.
Definitely going back and would recommend.
Nice restaurant, food taste great and good services. The owner was very friendly and helpful 👍🏻 chúc anh buôn may bán đắc nhé.
I ordered water prawns on special sauce and JESUS CHRIST it’s so good I’m not even joking. It’s definitely out of my price range ($23) but 100% worth it
