An Lac

I feel for this place a little bit. Some of the people are nice enough but I'm not sure they really care about the food they prepare. Perhaps they don't eat it themselves.
My wife and I spent 8 days in Hoi An on a work assignment and this was the only vegetarian in a convenient location for us. Because of the location and price we kept on giving it one more go when we should've walked away for good.
The inconsistency was the worst aspect. On a couple of occasions we found a simple meal that was OK but the next time we ordered it we received something unrecognisable as the meal we'd eaten the day before. If this place doesn't have the right ingredients, they just leave them out.
On one occasion when I'd been eating a passable Pho Chay for a couple of days I ordered it again as was told it "no have". I started to order something else but an argument ensued between the waiter and the chef. The waiter was clearly perplexed but retracted and said "Pho Chay OK". 10 minutes later I was served something inedible that smelled like noodles in dishwater.
To my mind it seemed as though they didn't have the broth prepared and the chef just said "Meh, these guys are foreigners, they'll eat anything, don't worry."
Who knows.

Visited An Lac as it was near my hostel and recommended by another traveller for being very cheap. Yes, prices are cheap at around 30K for a meal but the portions are small- I am a young female and would need 2 meals to feel satisfied.
I hate to be harsh, but most of the food was honestly gross. On my third and final visit (I kept giving it second chances as it was close and cheap) I had the 'Thick noodle soup' that was so disgusting it was inedible. Most other meals are very bland and basic. The one thing I can recommend is their Cao lầu (Hoi An special noodles) which was delicious. But definitely can't recommend this place as somewhere worth trying.

The prices are cheap about 30.000 for a dish but the the portion sizes are not the biggest either (then again I'm a 100kg strongman so take my judgement with a grain of salt)

It's a decent place and peaceful since it's off the main roads. Went here for "breakfast" after a hard night out. All the fried stuff was deliciously fatty, fried tofu was crispy on the outside and mushy on inside, albeit a bit tasteless. The vietnamese pancakes were served with a nice chutney. Cured my hangover.
