The normal bowl in Vietnam is the small in Hawaii.īy the way, Huy Fong is the universally preferred hot sauce in Hawaii. The only thing that I can see that has been Americanized is the portion size. My wife says she can cook better at home but she said that in HCM as well. I am sure a real Vietnamese connoisseur could tell the difference but I can't. One other important reason is that their Vietnamese customers would not tolerate inauthentic tasting dishes. Another is that markets import dry items like noodles, rice paper, and coffee from Vietnam. One reason is that most all the vegetables are grown here, most of the fruits too but some can be rare. It is possible that the only place on can find good Vietnamese food in the US is in Honolulu. I was spoiled by some great food in Việt Nam, especially the delicious cuisine served by my former landlady in Vũng Tàu. In a couple of the local reviews I have seen responses from the owners of the restaurants saying that they don't really cook traditional Vietnamese food but rather, they serve "American-style Vietnam food". I have yet to see bánh mì advertised for less than $5.00 (all the VN restaurants hawk them as "Vietnamese Po' Boys"). I've been looking at all of the Google Maps reviews for places nearby, and I'm discouraged by the high prices and the reviews that say that the food is good, but doesn't taste like authentic Vietnamese food. It not only didn't taste right but it just didn't feel right in my mouth. There are a number of listings for Vietnamese restaurants here on the Gulf Coast (many Vietnamese people here due to seafood industry) but my one experience so far was less than thrilling.Ībout $10 USD for a bowl of phổ with plenty of lean beef, but "doughy" noodles that looked like square bún, probably the best choice they could come up with on a pasta machine.
I used to get that in Calif, never see it over here.īut do you have any Vietnamese food around there?Īlso, next time you are in Vũng Tàu, they might still have some at Cửa Hàng Linh Phương ("supermarket"), 86 Trần Hưng Đạo or at Q-Mart, H25B Phan Huy Chú, though I think the supplies at both places are running low, since they aren't getting resupplied often from the United States.
