Dalat Vietnamese Cuisine

The kitchen at DaLat Vietnamese Cuisine is run by Ha Tran, a mother of five who infuses a home-cooked feel in every dish listed on the behemoth menu -- make that menus. This embarrassment of riches can make ordering a challenge, if only because there are so many dishes that beg for your attention. Still, while the pages go on...and on...and on, the seafood hot pot is always worth a stop, bubbling with perfectly cooked seafood, crisp vegetables and astringent Vietnamese basil. DaLat’s surroundings may be nothing special, but the food coming out of its kitchen definitely is.
