How we route restaurant field notes
These guides start from tables we actually sat at — what we ordered, how booking worked, and what Victor ate without a meltdown. Regional hubs under eat-stay carry Thailand, Vietnam, and United States clusters; Pizza 100 in Ho Chi Minh City is the scale model for how we write a single visit.
When safety or nutrition context matters, we cite official sources in the evidence block below rather than guessing from a menu photo.
Sources and safety notes
We prioritize lived family experience first. When entry rules, food safety, or heritage context matter, we cross-reference field notes with official references listed below.
