Funny thing is in Vietnam you cannot really see Sriracha anywhere, because what’s the point, the local chili are cheaper and better, what is the point of importing from US.

I had assumed it's a general style of sauce though. I wouldn't expect the Vietnamese to import the American stuff, the sauce originated there and a Vietnamese immigrant brought it to the US. Is that not the case?
The sauce originated from Si Racha thailand. The original sauces are runnier, more like water than the american sriracha

Yeah, I guess. This style of chilli sauce is omnipresent here. But apparently the specific taste is from Thailand, I cannot really tell
