Bun Bo Hue and Vung Tau are our top vietnamese go-to spots for the past 20 years!

[@resortpoint]

Vung Tau is kind of pricey though.

[@matheobaumar6956]

Really liked it.

[@TigerOnSurf]

Did she said Thai Basil??? That in the video is Peppermint lolz

[@Danelly112]

The greens served on the side with Bun Bo Hue is actually mint, not Thai basil!

[@savvysearch]

Actually, the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam is Little Saigon in Orange County which is made up of a lot of smaller cities. But as a singular city, San Jose has the most.

[@andytan3352]

Very helpful information!

[@a1avan]

Good video, but the Basil you stated is mint. Just a clarification. Enjoy!

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

Thanks for the feedback! 👍

[@airguy71]

a1avan is incorrect. It may not be the basil they are used to but it is not mint. Man Vietnamese place serve this basil as well as mint.

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

The one thing I learned making this video is that each region has it's own set of fresh herbs for noodle soups. The banana blossoms were new for me!

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

Thanks Andy!

[@aaap3875]

OC in southern CA has way more

[@ieast007]

Most of these places are what my Vietnamese co-worker refers to as "White Places". He takes me to the real places in East San Jose along Capital Ave where they don't speak English.

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

Hi Ian, each person has different favorites. This list was compiled with input from my San Jose Vietnamese friends 😂 These are their top restaurants. So which restaurants would your friend suggest?

[@rookiecookchick]

What restaurant will that be ?

[@finklejinks]

Yah you didnt go to a lot in little saigon. No pho tau bay, pho y 1, pho gua hung, no lees sandwiches, no coffee lovers but you did hit Hue so you were in the neighborhood. Def feel like you could make a part 2 for this one

[@dangda-ww7de]

oc got a few of them too.

[@MarkJones-si2bb]

You didn't rate the last place?!

[@ZeeneInRealLife]

You are right! It's been awhile but I think that place got a solid 7 out of 10. Good value and the food was decent.

[@이진원-y9r]

So gorgeous and sexy your hair and your friendly introduce also veitnam noodle...kind of like most veitnam noodles very unique...if i going to there i must eat veitnam noodle and vegetables...i wanna go there noodles haven i like it...

[@kynguyen1]

Grand Century Mall IS NOT the oldest😂😂😂

[@nguyenphamquangthai]

CHXH CNVN Muôn Năm !

[@andrew4558]

Người bắc thích chính trị nhỉ? Chổ ăn uống cũng đem chính trị vô. Nơi đây toàn là con cháu bọn đeo càng trực thăng bám đít Mỹ đấy. Chẳng có gì dính dáng đến CHXHCHVN cả.

[@edwardkeller440]

Your background music sucks

[@sinnguyen9200]

Vung tau is not highly recommended for authentic vietnamese food in SJ
