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.
The prices are really reasonably cheap and the food is so good and fresh. They always have lines of people waiting to eat. The only downfall is an occasional roach running along the floor but considering the location it's accepted. The food is worth it!
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.
I LOVE TU LAN!!! i honestly go there once a week with my boyfriend!!! trust me, im picky, but the BEEF SALAD and there "10 things soup" is AWESOME!!! the prices are great, the service is quick, and you get your food instantly!!! the only bad thing, parking and some of the foods i wouldnt recommend... but overall, i love it for the prices!!
