[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice vibe and friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped in for lunch. Place was busy before noon (they open at 11, I believe)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I ordered some pho and a banh mi sandwich. Both had been excellent. The pho had been listed as spicy on the menu; but my palette didn't detect any heat. Regardless, will be back to sample some other things off their varied menu. read more

La Dalat - Vietnamese Cuisine - Pho and a signature banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Temple, Texas

Based on other reviews, this doesn't seem like a common occurrence - I almost wonder if they used a few leftover pieces of meat from another order they made for our vermicelli bowl. I really wish I took a picture... my boyfriend and I were laughing it was almost comical. Maybe 5-6 little pieces of beef & the rest was grilled onion. Huge amount of vermicelli noodles & shredded lettuce... just barely 4 bites actually had meat. We also got a braised pork dish which was much better but still very small portion of meat. Taste was good but improvement needed on cheeping out with the meats. read more

Look, I get that their soup is just broth with mushrooms and spinach but saying that it is the best yet most basic I have ever had is the truth! Also their spring rolls are so yummy and fresh and their version of the peanut dipping sauce is the best I've had around this area so far and closest to my fave Thai place in Austin! Can't wait to keep trying more yummy things from here soon! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is very appealing and the staff was very friendly and attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was absolutely AMAZING. We recently moved to the area from Houston and have now declared this as our go-to Pho spot. Food, portions, and service was a 10/10 for us. read more

La Dalat - Vietnamese Cuisine - Beef and noodle only pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Temple, Texas

I walked into this establishment on a Sunday afternoon after my local 5K run. I needed carbs and I needed good carbs. I was perusing Yelp when I found this Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered their fine appetizer of fried rolls, which were absolutely amazing especially with that dipping sauce, it was slightly sweet and sour and I rate that five out of five. Their beef noodle soup, a.k.a. beef pho, was so good. They gave a really good portion of thinly sliced beef perfectly cooked in the broth. Broth itself was very rich, tasted as if it was made with years of love and great practice. I added their oyster sauce, and chili sauce, which gave it that extra depth of flavor I was looking for. I was very pleased with this meal. I was very satisfied. It was a very good portion. Service was great. And staff was wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Setting within restaurant has plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Conveniently located in downtown Temple. I highly recommend this place and I will be back! read more

I heart this place to infinity and beyond.... It's been hard finding legitimate pho and spring rolls with peanut sauce. Their shaking beef is also a must try. An import from Cali worth keeping! Great family run business. Support local. read more

La Dalat - Vietnamese Cuisine - If you don't dine for one, you're missing out. #itsbeenahellofayear - Vietnamese Near Me - Temple, Texas

Rhey beat out a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the Greater Austin area! **Cha Gio (Imperial Egg Rolls)** These are the authentic Vietnamese egg rolls, wrapped in extra crispy rice paper and served with lettuce, a bit of vermicelli, pickles, herbs, and nuoc mam (fish sauce). The filling is a delicious mix of pork, woodear mushrooms, and glass noodles. You won't find this in Austin! **Fishcake Noodle Soup - Bún Chả Cá** Another dish you won't find in Austin. If you love fish cake like I do, this underrated Vietnamese noodle soup is a must-try. The chicken broth base, simmered with tomato, creates a bowl full of umami. **Bun Thit Nuong** The marinated, thinly sliced meat was absolutely delicious, and the vermicelli and vegetables were incredibly fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We spotted the mother (or grandmother) happily cooking in the background while the daughter managed the front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just a heads-up: there's a sign at the entrance noting that they're understaffed. This is a very small, family-run operation, so be patient. read more

I've eaten here several times and every time the food was amazing! The service is fast and friendly, and at each encounter the staff really knew a lot about the menu and was able to answer my questions. As far as authentic Vietnamese cuisine goes this is one of the places in Central Texas that I have had the flavor experience that I had while in Vietnam. The imperial rolls are one of my favs for appetizers. And the rice dishes, never disappoint. This restaurant is great for lunch or dinner whether you choose to dine in or do takeout. This is a culinary treat you don't want to miss. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be sure to stop by La Dalat if your looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine and a warm friendly environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Just got out of the hospital and came straight here for some comfort food. Amazing service and the best Authentic vietnamese by far in Temple. Thank you Amanda. I brightened up considerably as I ate my chicken pho. I love this restaurant, incredible food and great staff. Thx chef read more

Awesome food. I usually get the Beef PHO and Shaken Beef. The Pho has really good flavor and large portions. Lots of aromatics to go with it. read more

Times are tough but they're not 1$ extra for bean sprouts tough. Pho is mediocre if you're desperate but at 14 for a bowl of pho and 2.50 for extra noodles.... it's a tough sell. read more

delicious food and great staff. Stopped on trek along I-35. Will definitely stop again

The pho is Amazing! Never had it in the restaurant as I always take it to go but it must be more good at the restaurant

Amazing pho thank you so much I was sick when I got this and it helped a lot thanks again

I don't know what's different, but tonight was super nice. New and expanded menu. Really tasty fresh ingredients. Great service as always. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus busier than usual which was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back soon!!! read more

This is a nice family-run Vietnamese restaurant with kind service. I had the chicken pho with extra noodles for an additional $2.50. It was quite bland, especially the chicken. I also do not really think the extra noodle was that extra because I only had a little left over, and I didn't feel like I had eaten much. My friends weren't big fans of the pho either. read more

Terrific and welcome addition to downtown Temple. I was so happy to come back to my hometown to find that La Dakar had survived COVID and is as spot-on as ever. I've never had anything here that wasn't killer. The his visit I ordered the clay pot catfish and spring rolls. Both were mouth watering. Portions were exactly right. Ingredients fresh. La Dakar's interior is nothing particularly special, which kinda makes it cool. Unpretentious feel. The food is more than special enough. Worth a drive from the surrounding area...or a flight from Atlanta! read more

The reviews fooled me on this one. I really thought I had a place for pho close to home. I was so wrong. Me and the fam got the chicken pho and boy, nobody liked it. It was average at best, hence the 3 stars. It barely had any flavor and the chicken was pretty dry. The people that rate this so high must not have had pho any where else. Guess I'll be traveling to Round Rock still. read more

The Pho is so yummy!! We got delivery and the way they packaged everything was great! We will go back for sure!

So I got the beef pho and I got the bon Bo hue and it's ok not great. My pho I like to taste the flavor of star anise and other spices but I didn't taste that. Broth tastes like chicken soup it ain't bad but it's not my fav pho either. read more

REAL FRENCH-VIET bread ROLLS!!! The daughter and I were adventuring today and came upon this little place on the back end of downtown Temple. Kind of out of the way but worth it Just for the bread! I LOVE it when Vietnamese places that serve Bahn mi use the ACTUAL real hoagie type bread!! La Dalats rolls for bahn mi are lightly crispy on the outside w that PERFECT soft, slightly chewy inside. I'm tellin yall it makes the entire sandwich that much better!!! Now on the INSIDE of their house special Bahn mi with Char siu pork, they have all the fixins; cilantro, cucumber, and carrot (no radish in this one) and you hafta ask for the Jalapeño if you want it. And then of Course it wouldn't be Bahn mi without the shmear of Pate!!! Theirs is TOP NOTCH - seasoned just right to give this sandwich NEXT LEVEL yumminess!!! La Dalat also serves other traditional Vietnamese goodies - Pho, rice noodle Salad, fresh springs rolls, crispy egg rolls and, and a few other dishes PLUS a variety of Teas and Beers too! So if you are in the area - or just looking for a GREAT sandwich check out La Dalat! read more

First time lunch and it was really nice. A close friend met me for lunch and had to nudge me a little bit to go. Service was outstanding and staff greeted us kindly. We had spring rolls and Lemongrass Pork Noodle. Fresh, tasty and well prepared. Not being a huge Vietnamese cuisine fan, I was not sure what to expect. I discovered extremely flavorful meat and a nicely balance meal that left me perfectly satisfied. We'll go there again as a family. read more

More like 10 stars! First time visit a few weeks ago. Had no idea this place was there. I ran into it making a wrong turn. I'm so glad I did. I've been to a couple places that were good. But this place is authentic delicious & my new exclusive Vietnamese spot. I ordered... Bahn MI Pho, Spring Rolls, Charbroiled Pork Rice Bowl. Fried rolls. Ingredients were so fresh. Crisp veggies in rolls. Peanut sauce was flavorful. The packaging was so thoughtful and neat. I didn't have to ask for anything. They thought of everything when packaging it to go. Service was friendly. Welcoming. Smiles. And even offered me a drink while I waited. The place is roomy. Clean. Lots of natural light. Casual atmosphere. It's off by a corner with plenty of parking on the street and a lot nearby. Behind Johnnie's Dry Cleaning Near Cheeves Steakhouse Great spot for lunch or dinner and walkable to bars and antique shops to walk it off. Highly recommend. Easy 10stars! Enjoy! read more
