About:Tu Lan diner does not have any notable decor. Tables, chairs and a long counter fill the room, all of them packed with locals, ex-pat Vietnamese, upscale business types, and students who love the food here. Toothsome shrimp dumplings wrapped around stalks of crispy-sweet sugar cane, Pho soup that is rich and nourishing with bits of beef or pork swimming in long-simmered broth, and lemon beef over rice that is bracing and hearty are just a few of the delicious dishes served up here. The wait staff is quick, but much too busy for service that is more than efficient.

    still don't understand what's the fuzz about this restaurant. you will love it if you like cheap and greasy food, but that definitely isn't true vietnamese style though.

    The place is an absolute filthy dump! I have eaten there many times before a show at the theatre across Market St. But that's the only reason. The scary-homeless-crackheads on 6th Street giving you looks that would kill and bothering you on the way in and out isn't worth a regular visit. The tofu salad is the best thing on the menu, even if you aren't a vegetarian. That and the "summer" rolls are the best choices. Everything else is way too oily be to be even a little tasty. For the epicurean adventurer ONLY.
