San Jose Vietnam Town

Bánh Mì

Classic Vietnamese sandwiches from multiple stalls — look for the counter with the longest line for the freshest bánh mì with properly crusty baguettes and house-made chả lụa

Phở

Multiple dedicated pho shops in the complex; seek out versions with deeply colored, long-simmered broth and fresh herbs served tableside

Bánh Cuốn

Steamed rice rolls with minced pork and wood-ear mushroom, served with nuoc cham and crispy shallots — a Vietnamese breakfast staple done right at the morning stalls

Cơm Tấm

Broken rice plates piled with grilled pork chop (sườn), shredded pork skin (bì), and a fried egg — generous and cheap at the lunch counters

Vietnamese Bakery Pastries

The bakeries in the complex carry pandan cakes, egg tarts, and pork floss buns fresh from the oven — best grabbed early before sellouts

Chè

Vietnamese sweet soups and desserts — look for the dedicated chè stalls offering multi-layer coconut milk varieties and taro or mung bean options

Boba / Sinh Tố

Multiple bubble tea and Vietnamese smoothie counters; avocado and durian smoothies (sinh tố) are the standouts over standard boba chains
