Yeah. A lot of the foods are interchangeable between the countries over in that region. Each one trying to lay claim to originating it, and all having places that claim to be where it was first made. I have spent a lot of time traveling in the region and I always tried to sample what was local, rather than what was imported. Unless there was some following because they made vast additions to something. Have to be cautious though, for me. I am allergic to seafood. So makes life difficult sometimes when I am there.

Oh. It’s in Bellingham? I forget where the town lines are up there. I just know where it is. I don’t fully pay attention to the name of the town.

Pho Horn is westernized Vietnamese food. It’s not bad, but some of their dishes are not truly authentic. Like their Bun Bo Hue isn’t close at all. What they serve is good, but it’s not authentic.

Pho Zap Zap is mainly a Laotian restaurant, as of the last time I was there. The food there is quite good.

Pho Saigon is not very good imho. The few times I have eaten there, I ended up with an insanely bad headache from something they use in their recipes. They have items in their menu not offered at other Vietnamese restaurants, but the only thing there I can recommend as being authentic, truly, is their Bo Ne. (Sizzling beef platter)

Von’s up in Franklin, right over the order from Woonsocket, the last time I was there was also quite good. But it’s not purely Vietnamese.

Four Seasons in Providence has some Vietnamese dishes. Not the most authentic, but not bad.

Minh Hai is the closest you will get to authentic I’m saying this from having spent a lot of time in Vietnam. The only bad thing about Minh Hai is that it is only thr husband and wife working, so if they are busy, you will wait a long time for your food.

If you are willing to drive to Dorchester, you will find plenty of authentic Vietnamese restaurants there.
