I can't believe Tu Lan is on Citysearch...how random. A few years ago I used to work in this area and several people kept talking about the "great Vietnamese" around the corner. I ended up going a few times with them and liked the food. It's basically cheap, hot, vietnamese food fast food style. I always ordered this curry that I crave to this day - very spicy and heavy, with slices of whole jalapeno in it. Mmmmmm. I wouldn't say it's "great" Vietnamese, though - it's a greasy take on Vietnamese and any foodie will immediately note its limitations. And the other reviewers have it right when they warn you against the neighborhood. 6th and Mission/Market is a sketchfest - many people walking around are visibly high or fiending. I always ordered my food to go to so I could enjoy the food at my leisure and not in the loud restaurant. This is one instance when I'd say it's okay to eat at your desk. :)
Pros: cheap, hot, spicy, good good
Cons: parking, location
