The end of the war, an influx of Vietnamese
refugees headed to Santa Ana (CA), Bay Area (CA) and other cities in U.S. and
formed pockets of concentrated Vietnamese population called Viet Nam Towns, and
some of these refugees opened restaurants to make ends meet. Now, they are the
second largest Southeast-Asian group, after Chinese.
You can cruise your own yellow pages to find good Vietnamese restaurants. A
couple of clues: a concentration of noodle shops or Banh cuon (very popular with
Vietnameses but not with Americans) in any one area like Little Saigon in LA,
Dorchester in Boston or Argyle Street in Chicago is a pretty good indicator of a
large Vietnamese population -- and, hopefully, a sign of food quality and
authenticity. If the Vietnamese restaurants in your city are principally soup
places, you likely have a large North Vietnamese population -- as in Los Angeles
Little Saigon and in San Jose,
California. (Vietnam Towns in America)
You
can try these dishes at local Vietnamese restaurants in your area. Since
most of the really authentic ones are the
kind of "MOM & POP" joints, run by family and tailored to
local Vietnamese community, don't expect a great ambience, but look
forward to a delightful culinary adventure. Some places only accept
cash and the waiters can rarely speak English, the service is far from
elegant but friendly.
Most of Vietnamese restaurants
Names contain major Viet Nam cities/land marks (such as Saigon,
Hanoi,....), or their specialties (such as Bun, Com Tam,....)

I find that Google Maps Local Business Search is the best,
but you have to do a little bit of sorting and filtering yourself;
Verizon Directory is adequate, and the rest just hits & misses

It provides a lot more information, including listing and
reviews; however, sometime you need to massage the search, and filter
out the irrelevant. If you are willing to spend sometime, the final
result is very satisfactory. It has a great capability to understand
Vietnamese words, which contribute to good search results. |

You need to explore all the categories listed as the
result of the search based on your key words, and enter & read the
Business Profile section to get most of necessary information. It has a
great capability to understand Vietnamese words, which contribute to
good search results. |

I found that the listing is good & sufficient, the
search result is narrower than Google, but you don't have to sort
through the listing so much. It does provide review
and rating. |

I found that it is insufficient. The result is incomplete. It
cannot even recognize "PHO". |

| Pho Hoa www.phohoa.com
When a tiny Vietnamese restaurant
serving only noodle soup opened in San Jose, California, in 1983, its
customer base was as focused as its menu. Company leaders had little
advertising budget and were uncertain of success. But word traveled
quickly in the Vietnamese community of the tasty noodle soup-a traditional
Vietnamese dish called pho (pronounced fuh). The soup is considered
soothing; a dish that brings harmony to the body. Hoa (pronounced huh-ah´)
means "harmony" in Vietnamese, and thus the owners named their
restaurant Pho Hoa.
Just over 20 years later, Pho Hoa is the largest
Vietnamese restaurant chain in North America with a customer base that
extends well beyond Vietnamese diners. "The first restaurant was just
a mom and pop store," says Trang Huynh, marketing and franchise
manager. "The chain really started to grow in 1990 as other Asian
groups-Koreans, Philippinos, and Chinese-were introduced to pho. Then came
the Hispanics and Caucasians. We see huge potential in those
segments."

The portions are large, the food is good, and the
prices are more than reasonable. Don't expect much in the way of ambience.
This is an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant with nice, but distant
staff.
