Dalat has been around for as long as I can remember and is definitely a staple stop when I think of good, authentic Vietnamese food. I remember frequenting this place as a kid with my parents and till this day they still serve up a mean bowl of hu tieu! You can choose to get the noodles dry or with soup. My favorite is the dry hu tieu which comes with a bowl of dry egg noodles complete with toppings (sliced pork, sliced chicken, a crab claw, fried fish cake,and two hearty-sized prawns). On the side, you also receive a small bowl of soup and sauce to season your noodles to taste. I've also tried their salmon and red rice dish which was also good. A nice option for those who want to try something other than the noodles. read more

Got some take out for lunch. I got two orders of their fried chicken with tomato rice. I never had it, but my friend loves it so I decided to also order of it myself. Sounds simple enough that it can't be bad. Fried chicken was pretty good. I would say extraordinary, just good. I really like the tomato rice though. It had like a hint of seafood/crab? taste. In addition to the whole chicken and tomato rice the dish also came with pickled veggies and fish sauce. Over all it's a good dish for the price. Very filling, can easily be two meals. Would give four stars, but took down one star for the wait time. For my to-go order, it took about 40 minutes from when I ordered to when I received my order. On the plus side it was definitely fried to order, but I don't think it was worth the 40 minute wait. Would come back to try other dishes. read more

We have been visiting this restaurant for many years now. Food quality, standards and hygiene have dropped drastically over the years.

Really quiet on a Thursday night. When we went in there was only 1 other table. Service was pretty fast. I ordered the grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli bowl and my boyfriend got a shaking beef rice plate. The prawns they gave me were HUGE. They almost tasted like lobster. Loved them. Pork was nicely grilled as well. Not enough noodles to the amount of meat given though, and especially since the meats were a bit salty, the lack of noodles was disappointing. My boyfriend said his shaking beefrice plate was average as well because the beef was slightly overcooked. But they gave a side of soup which I enjoyed because it was super light but still had a nice chicken flavor to it. Overall decent meal, maybe slightly over priced when compared to other viet places nearby. But they do give a 10 percent discount to students if you show your id!! read more

We ordered hũ tiếu đà lạt dai khô, hũ tiếu nam vang. They all are very good. They all come with three big shrimps.

Been coming here since my college days and their food never disappoints. Their dry noodles are among my favorite on the menu, especially with the big prawns that they include in the dish. Their soup is so fresh and clean. It looks like just plain soup, but it has great flavor. The portion is huge. A regular bowl can fill you up. read more

I am in love with this place! My family has been going here since I could remember and Dalat has never disappointed! I personally prefer dry hu tieu over the soup version but both are equally good. I love how they offer extra sauce for the dry hu tieu on the side because their sauce is amazing so I always have to add more. The service is great and the employees are always so welcoming when I walk through their door. This place is definitely a hole-in-the-wall and parking is limited but I've never had trouble looking for a place to park. read more

My friends and I decided to go here for lunch. Parking is a hit or miss since its mainly street parking. We were greeted and seated immediately. The server took our order and food came within 5 minutes. Fast service! I got the Pho Tai which contained only rare steak. The pho was flavorable and the noodles were just perfect! My friends decided to get the Hu Tieu Dac Biet which they enjoyed. I would definitely come back. The only downside I found about this place was the cleanliness. As I was trying to enjoy my meal, I noticed gnats would be constantly flying around me. It happened to the point I got annoyed and disgusted. Overall, the food is delicious but cleanliness can be worked on. read more

It was hella cold today and I was about to go to pho Saigon noodle house, but they haven't opened yet. Saw the high rating here at Da lat, and that they have pho so I decided to try them out. The place look hella Vietnamese and all, so they must make good Vietnamese food then. Well I don't know about their other dish, but the pho here might be the worst one that I ever had. The first thing that got my attention was their plain look veggies plate for the pho, and there was no small plate for the hoising and siracha for the pho. I ordered a small bow of tai nam pho, it came out a small, plain ass looking bow of pho. When I got into it, I noticed that the noodle was falling apart. I am guessing they probably used the last noodle at the bottom of the bag or something, but it's sure is annoying to eat noodle that fall apart to smaller pieces. The worst part was the broth, it was just plain, and tasted like water mixed with flavor. It's just lack the sweetness that one would get from brewing the shank and meat for hours. Surprisingly their hot green however was very flavorful and tasty. Everything else on the menu look relatively expensive, like 12-15 buc for the typical Vietnamese food that you have at home. Glad that I didn't ordered a large bow, because it's sure would be annoying to try to finish that. Overall, I don't think I will bother coming back to try their other dishes. read more

San Jose Dalat restaurant serves some of their best delicious Vietnamese rice plates along with appetizers and noodle soup at a very cheap price far less than its competitors which makes it more appealing . One thing about this place they're open 8 in the morning so there's very little traffic to speak of so few customers and ample street parking or you can park right in front of the restaurant with limited parking space reserved for customers only. Staff always with a polite greeting and so friendly and I've already been here twice before and only now I'm writing this review a hidden gem. What I had today was #29 wonton/shrimp soup for $8.95 generous portion and the broth delicious wonton shrimp can't get enough of that #81 that was lemongrass chicken with steamed rice/stir vegetables for $10.95 generous portion and #8 Thai iced tea for $3.95 all I can say is more than enough for my breakfast/lunch combined. Never been more happier will always be back for my favorite appetizers (banh xeo) Vietnamese crepe and fried prawns along with drinks. read more

When I came to Dalat Restaurant, there was no one eating there and it was in the middle of a saturday. But regardless, I like the restaurant and that meant I got my food quicker. I ordered #26 Hu Tieu. From my taste, the broth was normal, the crab was good, and the meat was a bit dry. I also like the noodles and everything was overall good. Dalat is a typical good Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Da-Lat - 26. Hu Tieu 4/5 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

This place was there in the early 80s or late 70s. I have been eating here ever since. It was the best then and still is now. Of course, ownership has changed or passed down to their relatives, but the taste is relatively the same, about 80%. Every time I came here, I always wished I could be in there shoes. If so, I would expand it decades ago and become so filthy rich. Sadly, the owner had no such capability nor the brains to even make his place clean. This place was filthy then and even more so now, and worse when they started allowing homeless people to use their restroom. Once I witnessed that, it was it for me. It's pathetic that the dumbest people on Earth had to have the best "hu tieu" recipe in the Bay Area, and even the world. read more

Although many visitors praise so much about this place I feel it just ok. Is not a bad thing but I except a lot more for being here so long and still busy place. All those dry noodles has lack of taste flavors which they comes with Saul which is simple hoisin . It really need crunchy garlic. On top of that is not a cheap at all where there are lots of other places in San Jose for taste and a little less. read more

I always yearn for asian food when I'm away from home and this place hits the spot! It's a little hole in the wall and you'll have to park on the streets. Dry version Hu Tieu Dalat #47 - rice noodles w meat, shrimp and crab leg. It comes with a small bowl of soup broth and the sauce is on the side so you can put in as much as you want. Squirt some lime in. Portions are huge and the noodles were so chewy. I love it! Mi Vit Tiem Hoanh Thanh #55 - egg noodles with duck and wontons. Lots of meat and the broth was delicious! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place! I've been coming to Dalat since I was a kid, and my parents since their masters days. We always get #47: the rice noodle soup with crab, shrimp and meat. So good and fresh tasting! I usually get the BBQ pork chop with rice which is served with fish sauce. Yum! Parking is difficult here. The garage thing next door is your best bet but come here early because this place gets packed! The restaurant itself used to be pretty dirty but it's gotten better over recent years. My favorite pho place ever! read more

The man at the counter was really kind and hospitable, but the food was not good at all.

Whenever people think of Vietnamese food they always think pho, well I'm 100% Vietnamese and I think pho is "eh". Reason being, there's sooooo many other Vietnamese noodles out there that are DELICIOUS! Hu tieu da lat is one of my favorites!!!! My family has been coming here since I was a baby and it's never ever changed. I order a small hu tieu da lat and I like it DRY, it comes with a brown sauce (A thicker soy sauce, I always ask for extra sauce) that you pour over your noodles, it also comes with a small bowl of broth on the side. Each bowl comes with 1 JUMBO SHRIMP & 1 CRAB CLAW, they're huge. I like putting my shrimp and crab claw in the hot broth to keep it warm until I'm ready to gobble it up! You guys it's amazing. You eat your noodles and sip the broth and life is just GREAT! It's an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, so don't expect good service. You come, you order, you eat. Vietnamese people don't provide great customer service, they let their food speak for them. *Parking: pain in the behind, not a lot of options because it's in downtown San Jose. *Cash only: a lot of Vietnamese places are cash only. *Free ice cream: for kids :) if you whip out your adorable Vietnamese they'll give it to you too! Worked for me! Lol read more

It's difficult in the pandemic to get people to try your stuff out. There are so many options on ordering platforms that it's almost hard to choose. Da Lat Restaurant caught my eye with their promo on DoorDash of 20% off up to $5 on an order. Plus naming your restaurant after a city begs that they are just as good as the whole city. I think what I am really fond of, is that their menu has the Vietnamese language. It is certainly not for everyone, especially for non-Viet people wanting to buy something off their menu on a digital platform. But it kind of gave me the feeling that I was looking at a paper menu if I were to sit down. Kind of nostalgic, since we are still in a pandemic. So kudos to that. My first order was the Bun Thit Nuong and Sua Dau Nanh. You can't go wrong with grilled pork. I asked for no bean sprouts and extra daikon and carrots. And received just that! I don't make it a point to say that I, "Still received bean sprouts even though I didn't want to" because it's almost an uncommon request. But I will always note when places do. I appreciated that I didn't receive them, I don't like bean sprouts. Probably one of the very few Vietnamese people that even do, and there isn't a lot of us. The grilled pork was a bit warm when I got it, so possibly my Doordasher was picking up another order while delivering mine. So I don't think I got the full experience of what Da Lat had to offer with my order. But was willing to try it again. The Sua Dau Nanh was in a can, I was kind of sad they didn't make it fresh. But again, nothing beats nostalgia and this definitely brought me back to my childhood. Wanted to give this place another shot and decided to order Pho Bo Vien. I just had it from another restaurant but you have to order from multiple places to support all the local shops. Always have a favorite but definitely help other locations out, and maybe it'll be your next favorite. I added in the note of no bean sprouts like I usually do. And I swear, I did not get them. This has to be the second place EVER to not give me bean sprouts and I cannot thank them enough. I actually received something much better! I received three third cuts of a lime, a little bit more basil, and a lot of jalapenos. My boyfriend doesn't like jalapenos so I could only add a little bit BUT the seeds from the jalapeno were on the limes and it made for a perfectly balanced broth. My only complaint was I didn't get any sriracha or hoisin sauce. However, I got chili with oil and it added a unique flavor. There was a bowl with A LOT of noodles (which is great for my boyfriend since I can't have too many noodles since I can eat only a certain amount of carbs). There was no option for me to order more meat with my pho, so I was expecting a small portion of bo vien like at any typical pho restaurant. But to my surprise, I had an amazing amount! They were cut in half, so it made the bowl look more full than it was, but as I was eating, I noticed that it was actually more than most places. Which is fantastic because the price of the bowl was great! The broth was a bit more than the bowl itself so I couldn't fill it up but it was a great opportunity to split the pho with my boyfriend. So no harm no foul. Give this place a shot. I absolutely love the portions. Pho travels well for delivery! The broth was still piping hot when I got it. But probably go to the restaurant itself for any of the Bun dishes, as my meat wasn't warm anymore during delivery. Will definitely order again. read more

Wowow! I am so glad I was introduced to this place! Everyone has already given their two thumbs up for the hu tieu, but hasn't given enough credit to the braised duck with wontons and egg noodles. Came in on a Sunday evening, no waiting to be seated. But there was a big group of people seated before us, so that might have played a role in the time it took for us to get our food. I ordered the braised duck with wontons and egg noodles and boy, was it tasty. The broth was rich and flavorful. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the duck was pretty good, and the wontons were solid. The soup even had mushrooms in there, so that was a plus. I also tried some of the Hu Tieu Da Lat which came with a jumbo shrimp, crab claw, and meat. The broth was clear but so flavorful. The meat was nice and soft. Overall, great food. Parking might be hard and you can only pay in cash, but you gotta try this spot for some brothy goodness read more

Good food Fast service & but parking could be better. Overall would definitely like to come back again!

Be patient and know your order if you don't speak English and dine in big groups. Most of my group ordered a variation of soup such as clear noodle or rice noodle. It was pretty confusing because they just put the entree down and blurt out a number. For instance, I ordered rice noodle and assumed I received the right bowl given that the meat covered noodles. The waiter even confirmed that my entree matches the number I ordered. However I started pulling the noodles to surface, I noticed this entree was clear noodle and had to reorganize the entrees with my party. Flavorful, portions were alright but a typical college male coming for a post workout meal will need something more than their soup. read more

The BEST Vietnamese food that NorCal has to offer. The seafood noodle soup with clear noodles is life changing. I'm spoiled after eating here, every other Vietnamese restaurant cannot compete! It's pricey, around $12 compared to an average bowl ($9), but it's worth the extra dollars. The service here is also friendly, the employees are authentic and genuine people. read more

The best place for hu tieu in San Jose. The "dry" Dalat Special (dai) is my go to order. You get two big jumbo shrimp, a crab claw, and a heap of protein alongside the chewy, clear noodles. If you order it dry, you'll get a side of the special Dalat sauce which is similar to hoisin (albeit less sweet). Parking is definitely a challenge. You'll see cars parked right next to the window on the busier days. But it's worth braving for the noodles. Dalat has been around for ages and is practically a San Jose Vietnamese institution. Dalat, China Chen, and the New Sam Kee are in my rotation of must visits for those nursing hangovers. Credit cards accepted. read more

Best hutieu in San Jose. Hands down. I'm a big fan of this place. The only thing I can find fault with them is that they are always pretty crowded (sign of a place with freaking good food), and that they don't offer thick egg noodles (hutieu, glass noodles, and normal egg noodles are delicious options, so no real complains here). Both dry and soup noodles taste great. Soup noodles are perfect on rainy or cold days, while dry noodles make for a perfect hearty lunch. I always get the 46, 47, or 48. They offer the same perfect combination of meat and seafood, only thing that is different among the 3 are the type of noodles, and the amount of food. Did I mention that their beer are buy one get one free - that works out to about $2/ bottle. Where else are you gonna find that? Writing this review makes me crave for a big bowl of hutieu from Dalat right about now. read more

I have to be more diligent about reviews. I was wondering what to get for breakfast at 8:30 on a Sunday. I don't like traditional American breakfast, so I was thinking dim sum. I had coffee at B2 and this place is about 5 minutes away. I love pho and can always eat any kind of Asian food. This place was open, 4 stars, why not? I ordered #48 as a dry bowl. It had slices of chicken, pork, tofu, two large shrimp and a crab arm with rice noodles. It came with broth and special sauce on the side. The special sauce was tasty. I added all of it to my noodles along with some broth to make it a little soupy. $13 total for the soup. I ate 2/3 and took 1/3 home but it wasn't the same. I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

The BEST Hu Tieu (nuoc) I've ever had! I ordered the Shrimp Hu Tieu noodle soup and boy was I tickled, excited and pleasured when it came out! The prawns in my soup were GINORMOUS! The little crab claw in it was delish as well. Now let's talk about what made it so orgasmic: the BROTH! OMFG!!! The flavor was just made to perfection. I ordered my self a Che Thai (dessert) and while my soup bowl was almost empty...there was still broth left over in it. I ditched my dessert halfway through it and slurped down a few more spoonfuls of the delicious broth. Definitely my go-to spot now for delicious Vietnamese soup. read more

My friend kept going on and on about how spectacular Dalat's Hu Tieu Kho was, so I let him take me here for lunch. It's a small diner-like restaurant located downtown. Their menu is filled with a huge variety of Vietnamese food--ranging from rice, soups, stir-fry dishes, and noodles. He ordered me Dalat's Hu Tieu Kho (Vietnamese rice noodle with soup on the side). It came with slices of pork, squid, a prawn, a small crab claw, and a side of bean sprouts and slices of lemon. It also came with a small bowl of some broth-like sauce that I poured into my larger bowl for taste. It was a little different from the traditional Hu Tieu that I usually eat but it was definitely yummy. The noodles were soft and chewy and everything was fresh. My friend ordered the Com Ga Ro Ti (Roasted chicken with rice). I was too full to try it but it looked really good. I'll probably give it a try next time. The servers were quick on their feet and friendly. They forgot to bring out my veggies and broth-like sauce so my friend had to remind them. No biggie though...I'll still come back. read more

************* REVIEW 168 **************** I've been coming to this restaurant when I was in grad school years ago. DA LAT is the place to come for HU TIEU KHO - Clear noodle with soup/broth on the side.

Da-Lat - Hu Tieu Da Lat - Clear Noodle Soup, dry, with broth on the side - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my go to spot for noodle soups. They are known for their Hu Tieu. When you order the server will ask you if you want it wet or dry. I get the #59 wet (soup and noodles together) with half egg noodles and half clear noodles. This bowl of noodles comes with cha ca (fried fish cake patty sliced), 1 jumbo shrimp, 1 crab claw, chicken, and pork. When you get the order, you add your typical condiments like fish sauce, pepper, and chili or sriracha. Toss in the veggies and lime, BOOM. Mind blown. Their viet coffee is not the best but does the job. Two bowls of noodles and coffee are about $35 + tip. This is about right pricing as my last review I complained it was a bit expensive (Probably because I was a starving broke college student at the time :P). They accept visa and master card here which is typically not offered at vietnamese restaurants! read more

Where do I start? I've had this placed bookmarked way before I even moved to San Jose and I just always wanted to go. I didn't want the pho, I wanted that legit experience of soup on the side and those flavorful noodles with that special sauce. But the problem was, they closed too early 730pm .. COME ON. It's Downtown San Jose you can't close that early it's an absolute nono. But considering that they open before the sun comes up, well alright. My apologies. So the other day, I finally had the opportunity to drive my lazy behind down to to 9th and williams to give this amazing place a try for breakfast. It was weird because I don't do vietnamese food for breakfast, it seemed awkward BUT let me tell you, it was totally not. I arrived and there it was sitting on a corner, so glorious and run down near the apartments looking so, unwelcoming. There's half an hour parking on the side the restaurant is on, one hour parking on the other side and random parking spots up on the curb for the restaurant no time limit (yaaaa know, ps no parking permit needed). Inside, you can sit wherever you want. Don't expect smiles or service cause I didn't get any. Once you get the menus, you're going to be asked promptly what you want, or really, they're going to stand there and stare at you until you do so. But do yourself a favor and Yelp the place before you go and order what you see in the pictures because you can't go wrong. I came here specifically for that #46 "The Hu Tieu Dai Da Lat Dac Biet" (Special Dalat clear Noodle Soup with Jumbo Shrimp) (11.50) I'm not a soup on the side person but it's way better this way. The jumbo shrimp IS JUMBO, never seen shrimp that big or an asian place not trying to gip me! Shocking. The entire bowl is of food not just salad on the bottom to make it look like there's food. The fried onions on top, that fresh crab claw, the special sauce on the side and on half of the clear noodles, the food was still warm (NOT COLD) delicious. Straight up food porn food coma for hours to come. It was heavenly and the best thing here. My plus one got the #39 "Banh Hoi THit Nuong" (BBQ Pork w/ Fine Rice Vermicelli & Salad) (10.95) I thought it was bbq pork like the red, honey glazed chinese version, but reallllly it was delicious caramelized grilled pork that was topped on the vermicelli! It was fantastic and filled with flavors, the portion of pork to noodles was 2:1. Amply amounts too much to eat! Great place to grab a bite in DTSJ, especially if you're craving some delicious vietnamese food. Cash only, but they have an ATM machine on the inside. It's clean and like I said, the people aren't too friendly unless you speak their language, but hey, good food no care right? read more

**Pho Quest: Hu Tieu Side Quest #1** After pho, hu tieu is easily my 2nd favorite Vietnamese noodle soup. Unlike many others, I can't quite seem to get excited about either bun bo hue or bun rieu. Since I had already found my favorites for pho, I decided to go on a side quest to find the best hu tieu. The Pho winners for your reference: Overall Beef Pho: Pho Ha Noi Mainstream Beef Pho: Pho Y#1 Chicken Pho: Pho Kim Long Dalat was notable for serving several hu tieu variations and I decided to stop by and try that and their other signature dish, com ga ro ti. The place as many reviewers have commented has fairly horrible parking. The parking spots devoted to the restaurant are crowded and tiny and also up on a curve. I definitely didn't have the easiest time parking nor backing out. The interior is very casual with almost a diner vibe. Service is similarly casual. I was told to sit anywhere I liked and it took a bit before I got a menu. My selections: Hu Tieu Dac Biet - a generous bowl of clear wide vermicelli noodles is accompanied by several large shrimp, a crab claw, a few slices of fish cake and a few pork slices. It's a good amount of toppings and I chose the wet version with the soup. While I was happy with the size, I had to say the price ($10.95) is a bit on the high side. Pho is so much cheaper albeit without seafood items and it's as high as overpriced ramen bowls. I'd agree with Derrick V's assessment that the soup stock tasted a tad manufactured. I've also had hu tieu at several locations and particularly liked Nam Vang's and also Vung Tau's rendition. Both their stocks tasted more authentic than the version here. It wasn't bad here, but I'd be surprised if they make their stock from scratch. Com Ga Ro Ti - I was too full from the soup noodles but opted to try their chicken rice dish to go. It's a bit of a simple item....essentially deep fried chicken, some lettuce and veggies and some stock rice. While good, I didn't think it was too noteworthy. $9.95. Overall, I enjoyed trying Dalat and although they are to be commended for featuring so many hu tieu versions, I do think there are better versions to be found in the area. Dalat accepts cash only. read more
