Xinh Xinh

I was craving some Vietnamese food and was lacking some Vietnamese ingredients to cook with so I looked at my good buddy Yelp to see if there were any good restaurants in Chinatown.

We decided to try Xinh Xinh, which looked like it was on a small street with mostly Vietnamese restaurants. I opted for my standard rice noodle bowl with grilled pork and egg rolls while my husband decided to go for a rice noodle bowl with grilled beef and pork patties.

Here are some pictures of our food:

I would have to say the noodle bowls were satisfying for our Vietnamese craving but weren't great.  The portion sizes were big and they gave a good amount of meat.  When we checked the reviews on Yelp, most of them said that the pho was very good.  Since it was 90 degrees outside, a hot bowl of pho didn't sound refreshing at the time.  When we were at the restaurant, however, most people were ordering pho.  That probably tells me something.  Next time we go, we will get the pho.  (Usually, we don't always follow the yelpers' suggestions but this time, it looks like we should have.)
