Dalat - Ann Arbor

I met friends here for dinner at 6 p.m. Two different wait staff kept asking us for orders even though we weren't ready. Once we got our food we felt rushed out. No one offered to fill our water and then a receipt appeared on a table. We were going to order dessert but of course decide not to after receiving the receipt. As we were leaving we found out that the place closes at 8:00 p.m. which is actually kind of early for dinner. As such it seems like they were trying to get us out as soon as we got there. Food was decent though.

The chicken and beef pho at this restaurant is delicious and filling. The fried rice is also very good, especially #34 which has a more delicate basil flavor. The restaurant has a variety of vegetarian options as well. The service is always excellent, as it is a family-run establishment where they take pride in their work. They offer lunch specials in person and sometimes through the Clover online purchase app, which is linked on their website.

This restaurant is a great choice for veterans looking for something unique. The pho-duck is a must-try, as it comes with a variety of dishes. While the place could benefit from some music and updates, it has a charming small family-owned feeling. I highly recommend trying it out, especially for vegans. They also offer vegan options for those with dietary restrictions.

I am very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I ordered the spicy catfish and was shocked to receive only two small pieces of fish in a bowl that barely covered the bottom, along with a bowl of rice, all for $17. This did not match the photo posted online. I would have needed to order two of these dishes to feel satisfied. The owner's response was dismissive, stating that I should have been able to finish the small portion, but I typically only eat half of my meal when dining out. If you visit this restaurant, I recommend ordering at least three pieces of spicy catfish to ensure a full meal. I will not be returning due to the owner's attitude. Their reply caused me to lower my rating from 3 stars to 1.

We had a great experience here. The menu is varied, with a lot of interesting choices. All of our food was delicious and well made. Service was friendly and efficient. We would definitely return next time we are in town!Food: 5/5
