Absolutely delicious. Sweet and sour soup. Shrimp rolls. Sweet and sour beef with cucumbers and tomatoes. Wife took me and week later I took her. My new favorite!! read more

The food is not Viet authentic. The Bo Luc Lac is not authentic. It's more like sweet and sour beef chinesse style instead of savory cube grilled tenderloin beef. read more

Stopped in here for lunch with a coworker. The menu was pretty extensive and the food smelled fantastic. The service was incredibly fast and the server was helpful in offering her suggestion when I couldn't decide between dishes. I ultimately ordered the pho sate. The portion size was a healthy but not an overwhelming amount. The broth was flavorful and the tomato and cucumber added a nice cool contrast to a spicy dish. read more

Dalat Restaurant - Pho sate - Vietnamese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

My wife an I ordered summer rolls, and two entrees. The server made sure we wanted the pig foot in there before just assuming that it was to go in. I thought that was really nice, as we didn't realize it was going to be in there. I can see some people taken aback not expecting a foot in their soup! Food was some of the best Viet food I've ever had. read more

After ordering and while waiting for my lunch to be served, I noticed a maskless employee going in and out of the kitchen as she showed something on her phone to other employees. There was also another maskless employee interacting with employees. Left the restaurant after pointing this out to waitstaff. Won't be going there anymore. read more

This is one of my husband and mine's favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Worcester! They did not have curry chicken soup tonight, unfortunately, which is delicious! I am hoping that they could update their takeout containers to something more Earth-friendly than styrofoam. read more

First and last time. This food is so far from authentic Vietnamese food. This Bun Rieu doesn't look taste anything like the way it should, and the owner knows it too, but he doesn't care cuz he can fool the non-asian. It literally tasted like instant bun rieu from the package. I was really hungry, but couldn't eat it. This is an insult to Vietnamese cuisine. If was stuck on island without food, I rather cut my arm off and eat it then to eat this food. read more

My family has come here for years since I was a little girl. The food has been consistently delicious. The service has usually been mediocre but the last few times it was surprisingly pleasant! The restaurant definitely needs a face-lift. But what great vietnamese food place doesn't? And it's BYOB (yes college students, I said BYOB!!). I haven't had pho in some time but I remember it always being delicious. I always love the rice plates (add a fried egg for authenticity! Worth a small extra charge) and bun (vermicelli) with grilled pork, egg roll, and shrimp the most. Fantastic spring rolls too. The ratio of lettuce, mint, noodles and meat/shrimp is just right. Finally, the appetizer beef wrapped with onion is the best. Totally worth it. One of the better Vietnamese restaurants in Worcester. read more

Good appetizers and food. Really fresh. Pho was fresh and delicious and the service was nice.

I should preface this review by saying that I'm grading on a Worcester curve. Dalat is a great option for Clarkies who want to eat a tasty home-style meal without breaking their budget. Their barbeque chicken with rice is excellent, as are the spring rolls, which are a little different than what you'd find in Vietnamese restaurants in New York (the skin is super crispy as opposed to a more doughy texture). When I ordered the pho, however, there was way too much hot sauce and, once mixed, the soup was bright red (*see photo). It was a bit too intense for my palette, although I don't think they usually put so much in. Dalat also has boba drinks and an amazingly potent Vietnamese-style coffee that's essential to my all-nighters. read more

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant may be easy to overlook as you're driving down Park Avenue, but it is definitely worth a visit or two, or three or ten. I ordered a special called the Bo Luc Lat. The pork is tender and perfectly marinated in this sweet, tangy sauce. It is served on a beautiful plate of fresh vegetables with a side of rice. Enough to fill me up and please my tastebuds, but it's also healthy. If you're in Worcester, stop here. Don't forget a boba shake (I'm currently drinking the taro one, and it is amazing)! read more

Dalat Restaurant - Bo Luc Lat special. You can tell it's freshly prepared with lots of love. Also, the taro boba shake is a must. Sweet and creamy! - Vietnamese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Food quality and service is too inconsistent at this establishment to become a regular. Too often special requests and portion sizes are disregarded. Nowhere else that serves pho in this city will serve you as little a portion of broth as here at such a lukewarm temperature. read more

Favorite place in Worcester for pho. Prices are affordable, meat is tender and there is a good variety of dishes. Some of my favorites are number 18,19, and 44. The curry noodle soup, pho sate, and barbecued chicken rice plate. The da chanh limeade is really refreshing as well! read more

One of the cleanest and delicious authentic Vietnamese food place I've been to. Service was quick, owners were beyond nice. Definitely will be back read more

Got take out from here and it was great. The place is a super authentic hole in the wall that might turn off some because of the appearance but trust, the food is amazing. read more

Yum. Needed pho and everything else I know is shut down. We did take out chicken and beef pho and summer rolls. So good. Easy in and out for take out. Great pho. You need pho come get some! read more

Family owned restaurant with clean and nice premises. Being Pho foodies, we ordered 4 bowls of special Pho (1 size only large). A pet peeve I have is when the side garnishes are small and unfortunately Dalat was stingy on the side garnishes (we were given a 1 person size to share among the 4 of us). Pho was not bad but it was not super great. Also probably the first Vietnamese restaurant where there was most definitely MSG used in the broth which may be anathema to some. read more

FAVORITE Vietnamese restaurant and trust me when I say I've been to my fair share. It's in an iffy area of Worcester but just get up off that high-horse and gallop right in please. Service is amazing, food is phenomenal, and prices are super reasonable (I even think they deserve to jack them up a little). If your even a little bit of a coffee fan, check out their Vietnamese iced coffee, the whole process is a great time and it's basically desert coffee (lots of condensed milk). Support this family, support this restaurant, and support your Viet food addiction. read more

Dalat Restaurant - Spring rolls! A must get (their home-made peanut sauce is to die for) - Vietnamese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

I've been past this place enough times to almost forget where it was. My wife and I came here after finding that other familiar places were closed. We absolutely were not disappointed. Not even close. We ordered beef and chicken pho as well as summer rolls which were extremely artistic in the presentation and flavorful. I highly recommend Da Lat whenever you're in the area. We will be back read more

I've been eating pho for years and have tried several different places. Over all Dalat was about what you may expect. Nothing to write home about, but does the job for getting a pho fix satiated. The service is friendly and accommodating, the food affordable, and the byob policy is very nice indeed. read more

Favorite Vietnamese spot in Worcester, small hole in the wall off park ave. Food is always bomb! Best boba flavors too!

We ordered the pho, vietnamese salad, and Thai iced tea. Everything was delicious and authentic tasting.

Food is excellent! Service was great as well! Probably one of the best Bun Bo Hue soups I've ever had. I got it with the thin egg noodle. It was full of flavor and had plenty of beef in it. Also got the lemongrass beef special. Delicious! The serving size was small, but it's well worth it for how good it is. read more

Real deal and really good. Good service, taste great. Very happy to have found this place on yelp. Great selection of food

This is a place I always drive by everyday. I haven't ate here in years, but my friends told me it improved a lot so I gave it another shot. I got banh cuon and the portion was very small. There wasn't enough cha, but the portion at this location is very small in general. I was still hungry after I had my meal. The service was alright. She was a bit distracted by her son and didn't pay attention to us. One of the things I liked was the che 3 mau, I thought that dessert was amazing! Definitely will be back for more dessert, but not entree. read more

Good food and friendly people. The two young daughters of the family who owns the place were cute and running in and out of the restaurant when we were there. I am vegan, and the restaurant was able to turn a vegetarian dish vegan. My boyfriend had some seafood noodle thing which he liked. Sorry I don't know what it was. He liked the boba too. We'll probably be back because everything was good and pretty inexpensive. read more

Dalat Restaurant - #90 made vegan. Curry tofu and vegetables - Vietnamese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Love this place! Tiny hole in the wall you may miss the first time you walk or drive by. Love the vermicelli!

Been here a couple times, very casual place and convenient as a college student. Their pho is bomb and I really enjoy it. Customer service is great. Quick and cheap bites at a very casual atmosphere read more

Fairly good offerings. A small whole in the wall with nice character. Satisfying for lunch.

I've been coming to Dalat for about 15 years and it's still just as good as it ever was. Iced coffee highly recommended. Delicious food at reasonable prices. There's limited parking next to and behind the building. read more

This place is a small but very tidy neat and clean and during the pandemic very well spaced for customers coming in to pick up food. The food itself was worth the trip 100%! Really authentic tasting hoanh thanh dumpling soup and excellent chicken curry Vietnamese soup and Vietnamese eggrolls. Will be coming back often read more

Was a little underwhelmed with my recent takeout. Ordered Vietnamese fried rice, Beef pho, chicken fried rice noodle dish (they didn't have mi ka thung, and so I found something on the menu that looked similar, it turned out to be vermicelli), and a vegetarian fried tofu with mixed vegetable dish. Portions seemed smaller than what I'm used to. Also every dish (besides the pho) seemed to have an overly peppery flavor or slightly spicy flavor to it. Beef pho was okay, felt it was a little skimpy. Perhaps it was just an off-day. We parked on the street in front of the restaurant. Clean restaurant and bathroom. read more

When I left Worcester after graduating from college, I noticed a hole in my heart in the shape of Dalat. Yeah the decor isn't that great and the servers don't kiss your ass, but they will accommodate big groups, open your wine for NO corking fee, and let you sit around laughing and crying hour after hour. I always order tofu spring rolls with extra peanut sauce and a #86 which I then cover with Sriracha and the sauce in the yellow bottle. I have had friends actually mail spring rolls and peanut sauce to me in Texas. I actually dreamed about this last night, nearly two years after moving out of Worcester. That meal, plus an avocado shake. The key to Dalat is to find your meal, make it your own, tip your server and keep coming back. After a while, the staff knew when I had a to-go order and wouldn't box it up in styrofoam because they knew I would bring my own container. They started bringing my party a peanut sauce per person without us having to ask. Eating at Dalat is like taming a wild horse. Your reward comes after long, consistent effort and investment. read more

I've eaten here once and will not eat here again. First of all poor location, parking was a hassle. When I first walked in, I was not greeted like a guest, instead the waitress just walked me to my seat. No drink, nothing on my table after sitting there for 5-10 minutes. I ordered, received my food in generous portion. The Pho was not good at all. Too much Noodles with little soup, small amounts of flank, beef and veggies etc. So I finally asked for water (after waiting for service again on a non-busy day). Come on guys! I'm eating PHO! hello...!!! Water?. So I received water with this "damn, why don't you order soda or something" type feeling from the waitress. So I ate my horrible tasting Pho, tipped exactly 15% no penny more or less and left. I will not eat at any Pho restaurant that has cheap prices for Pho again, I rather pay 2-3 dollars more for great service and great Pho. I know what good Pho is, I grew up eating Pho and this place is NOT the place to bring anyone for Pho. Go down the street to Pho Dakao, they'll show you how to service customers and have better tasting Pho and better parking spots. read more

One of my favorite restaurants here in Worcester. Out of all the restaurants in Worcester, I have probably visited Dalat more than any other. The Pho is tremendous as the base soup is heavenly. I would also encourage to try other items on the menu as they are delicious as well. read more

When I was living in Worcester, this restaurant was the thing that kept me sane. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but man! The food is just great. I've eaten at many Vietnamese places in my life, and not only is this place the best one I've been to, it's the cheapest. Win-win. My favorite dish is the "rice paper work", the one where you make your own rolls with vermicelli, meat, mint, lettuce and cucumber. My wife gets the bun thit nuong every time, without fail. They have other good things on the menu, too, but I have a hard time ordering them because I like my old stanbys so much. I see someone below rated this place 1 star because of the "pretentious Clark students". That's a silly reason to rate the place low, especially since there are just as many Worcester State and WPI students there, not to mention Worcester natives. It's just a good place to eat. read more

I have been to Dalat 3 times. I tried to give the place the benefit of the doubt but our last outing has firmly cemented my opinion of this dingy place. The service is terrible, the food mediocre and the waiting is endless. You wait for a table, you wait to be approached by a server, you wait ON END for your food however they certainly are quick with the bill. We went on Friday night and while the place was full, 4 servers for 15 tables is hardly unmanageable. We waited 30 minutes to place our order and then 60 minutes to receive it. We were consoled with "Oh, well you shouldn't have ordered #44. That dish takes the longest to prepare because we have to thaw the chicken. It's frozen. You shouldn't have ordered that." At that point, my meal came out but my boyfriend's did not. We had it packed up to go, left promptly and will never been seen again at Dalat. Good riddance. read more

Dalat Restaurant - #44 "You shouldn't have ordered that. It takes too long to thaw the chicken. It's frozen. Bad choice my friend." -- our server - Vietnamese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Our friends told us about this place and we met here for dinner. When I first walked in, I noticed that the place in general wasn't too pleasing to the eye. No decor, nothing fancy. This place is also BYOB, so you can bring whatever you want they will bring you glasses if needed. On to the food... The food was great. It was very good and also very fresh tasting. It's also extremely cheap. The 4 of us ate and had an appetizer and the bill came to $43 or so. I'll definitely be going back :-) read more

I visited this restaurant with my Vietnamese friend and it was a nice experience. I ordered my all time favorite, Bo Kho! I often eat this noodle in New York, and they had the same quality and texture to the broth. The meat had no smell and was nicely cooked and was very soft. I wasn't big fan of the noodle though. I believe it was an egg noodle. I would visit this place again to try their other noodles! read more

I have been here several times over the last year. Service is great, servers are always friendly and knowledgeable. Average food though... the noodle soups are heavy and salty. Most plates are disappointing and sound more appetizing in text. One thing I have an issue with though, there are always several tables full of staff/family members who are usually eating, which is a good sign, but I hate having to flag down my waiter from his Internet browsing or lunch. It makes me feel bad about needing an extra napkin, or wanting the check. Vietnamese places are a dime a dozen in Worcester, this place is nothing special. read more
