I woke up incredibly, incredibly sick yesterday, with a thudding headache, achy limbs, hacking cough, and sniffling nose.
After dragging myself through a long day of class, I knew--KNEW--I needed a decent bowl of soup. When I was living in San Diego, the best cure for my tiredness and illness was always a big bowl of pho. And I'd just heard that Xinh Xinh Cafe had opened next to the Schnucks.
Thank God.
The space is a bit small, and has a whole "Chipotle-forced-industrial" look to it, softened with Vietnamese hats and other cultural items. I made a beeline for a nice big bowl of pho and was delighted by the flavorful bowl in front of me. However, it could have used a little more beef.
That said, I enjoyed myself very much, and the menu is extensive, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They've only been open three weeks, so you should give them a shot, especially if you're sick and need a big steaming bowl of pho to feel better.
Edit: Keep in mind, they don't take credit/debit cards yet. So, just run into schnucks and use the ATM or get cash back.
