Tú Lan

Vietnamese Restaurant $ 4.5 (1013)


Tu Lan is renowned for its flavorful and authentic Vietnamese dishes, particularly its beloved imperial rolls and pho. While the restaurant's cozy, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere may feel unrefined, many patrons appreciate the genuine experience that reflects traditional Vietnamese cuisine. However, some customers have raised concerns about occasional variations in dish quality, suggesting that the flavors sometimes cater to local preferences rather than strict authenticity.

" I enjoy visiting Tu Lan, but I have noticed some inconsistency in quality over the years. Some days, the flavors are incredible, while others, it feels like they are off. However, the friendly vibe and the relatively inexpensive menu keep me coming back to explore new dishes. Don't pass up the imperial rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tu Lan is a fantastic little corner in the city to grab great Vietnamese food. I tried the grilled pork over rice vermicelli and it was picture-perfect. The portion size satisfied my hunger and left me feeling good about my meal. The servers were polite, and it had a hustle-and-bustle vibe that I really liked. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally tried Tu Lan and I wasn't disappointed! The pho had rich broth and the fresh herbs really added to the flavor. The ambiance was a bit cramped, but that only added to its charm. It’s a hidden gem in SF. Highly recommend for authentic Vietnamese. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Tu Lan is a fantastic little spot! I loved their imperial rolls; they were crispy and packed with flavor. The grilled pork was juicy, but I wish there was more of it. The prices are great for the portion sizes they offer. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Tu Lan and it was delightful! I had the curry chicken rice dish which was incredibly tasty. The imperial rolls were also noteworthy, and I found them to be filling. The service was quick but attentive, which made the meal even better. I plan on returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delicious meal at Tu Lan last night! I ordered the bun bo hue, and it was bursting with flavors. The server was friendly and made recommendations that I truly appreciated. The interior is quite minimalistic, but that gives it character. I’m definitely going back to try their stir fry dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a good experience at Tu Lan, although the service could be improved. My bun thit nuong was satisfactory, just a bit dry. The vibe of the restaurant felt old-school, which I liked. I might return to try something else on the menu, as the prices are very reasonable for the size of the portions. " (*Curated Review*)
