Most US metro areas have a decent sized Little Saigon of some sort, it just might not be a place out of towners end up. In the Washington DC area for example it's a mall complex called Eden Center which is like a 30 minute drive away from downtown.

Lol come to Seattle and the greater Seattle metro. We got pho, Thai, and teriyaki coming out the wazzu. I can't drive two blocks without seeing like 5.

As a matter of fact, outside Seattle proper it is fucking hard to find anything good that isn't pho, Thai or teriyaki.
