This casual Vietnamese spot in Little Saigon is a multi-level phở oasis made with richly spiced broth, grilled meats that are charred yet never dry, and imperial rolls fried until bubbly and translucent.

Lam, quietly fierce with a booming laugh, studies the spread, and then ... his cellphone pings... one of dozens each year - a commemoration of the Vietnamese immigration experience in America.

The influx of Vietnamese refugees transformed San Jose's landscape into a vibrant Little Saigon, where community, heritage, and entrepreneurship flourished amidst economic opportunity.
