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

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.

We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant during normal time Tuesday dinner. I was eager to sample item 48: "special Da Lat rice noodle soup." I had no reason to doubt a heart on the menu and an enticing crab claw wouldn't turn out magical. But, we'd looked at older photos online. Their current soup iteration replaced the crab claw with an extra jumbo shrimp—probably an acceptable trade-off to most people. But not this eater, who has principles. In all seriousness, their final product ended up being not much different from other restaurants'. I couldn't discern anything particularly "Da Lat" (a distinctive region in Vietnam). They did give big portions, however, and servers were responsive when we needed.

I’m so sad that this place has gone downhill. I use to go here and stopped going for a while. This tables and chairs are sticky and the floors are dirty. The food is not the same. I guess new owners have hired the original owners to help take care of the place but they don’t have their heart in it. You can see and taste it in the food and the way the place is cared for. I was horrified to see a roach craw casually across the floor while I ate. 🤢🤮
