Vietnamese American
Pho culture inheritors
A Vietnamese American is a person of Vietnamese ancestry living in the United States, or an American who emigrated from Vietnam.
The term often carries associations with the wave of refugees who fled after the fall of Saigon in 1975 and their descendants: Vietnamese American communities thrived in Orange County and Houston.
As an adjective, it describes cultural blends: Vietnamese American cuisine, Vietnamese American identity.
