I agree, the poster did not deserve a spam label. We have a great Vietnamese restaurant here, too, and I've found the food extraordinarily delicious.

I am curious how this post was allowed to be flagged as spam. No specific restaurant was mentioned and some good information was being passed along to us. I am sick of people discouraging new posters in this way.

I totally agree! Please see my own post regarding the flagging of spam on this particular thread.

Someone flagged this OP's first (and only) post as, SPAM. I do not consider this posting SPAM! I think it was one (Vietnamese) persons way of educating us to the many varied types of Vietnamese food now becoming very popular in the USA where there are large enough Vietnamese populations able to support Vietnamese restaurants. And, I thank them for it. As I said above, I have become addicted to Vietnamese food since my introduction to it about five years ago. And, in some of the Vietnamese restaurants I enjoy, I am sometimes, the only American in a restaurant crowded with Vietnamese people of all ages.

Welcome to Roadfood. Did you use Google translate as I did?
I love Vietnamese food so I'm happy to learn about the different regions.

Vietnam Cuisine Introduction" from English Wikipedia(

you read my post, you will find very funny, but you can still understand and can follow!.
of course. I use Google Translate and GoldenDict (a free dictionary and very good) to support me!, I'm not good at English!

example:
Chả Lụa: Google translated is Cha Lua, pork bologna.
I do not understand, I see ingredients and how it's like sausage, Chả Lụa contains less powder is better than the sausage.so I translated as Pork Sausage ( a very large piece of sausage!, (^_^)
I just do over 100 foods of over 1000 traditional foods of Vietnam.
I'm not in America, I do not know how they translate, I wish to your support.
thanks all!

I had my first introduction to Bahn mihn sandwiches in Westminster too. It was over a decade ago when there was a major protest by the ex-pats over a video store where the owner put up a Ho Chi Mihn poster. Made all sorts of news. During the protest, there was a man pushing a shopping cart full of sandwiches and giving them out to everybody. Fun times....

"The Simpsons: Team Homer (#7.12)" (1996)

Principal Skinner: The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta... .....our momentary lapse of concentration allowed "Charlie" to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!

I love the Vietnamese foods I've eaten thus far. I won't order tripe or tendon in anything!

Friday I'm going to wander about a large Vietnamese frocery store in Westminster, California which is also has the moniker... Little Vietnam.

It will be nice to know what I'm looking at on trip following that one.

In Dallas we're very lucky to have a large population of Vietnamese ex-pats along with a proliferation of excellent Vietnamese restaurants.
I've become totally addicted to Vietnamese food ever since my first Banh Mi sandwich and my first bowl of Pho with beef tendon.

I don't know much about the food, but I have a Vietnamese friend here in town who's always sending delicious dishes over for me to try. I've really enjoyed just about everything I've tasted so far.
