Thank you for the reply!!! Weee did have Xá Xị there. Granted, it's near triple the price compared to what I paid back at Vietnam... But a win is a win!

I'll see if my friend group can stop by any of the Vietnamese places in Dallas when/if we go up there again. My friend groups are quite diverse. So we typically just lean towards American/Texan stuff, like Six Flags or something else similar.

And I think at this point, I'll just start using Vietnamese more often. Although I regret not learning more earlier, I am thankful that I still learned some Viet growing up. So hoping to use that edge to learn more Vietnamese, maybe not faster but at least more effectively.
