Sinh tố — Vietnamese fruit smoothies with condensed milk — are a Little Saigon essential, and San Jose has the most vibrant selection in the US. The best spots use real fruit, not syrups, offering everything from familiar mango and avocado to distinctly Vietnamese soursop, durian, and jackfruit.

A solid smoothie selection with Vietnamese fruit highlights. Their soursop smoothie is particularly good — tangy, creamy, and not too sweet. The restaurant setting lets you enjoy a smoothie with a meal.
