Xin Chào
Wageningen, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
A Saigon street-food counter on the Hoogstraat, where the bánh mì is built to order and the pho broth carries the whole kitchen. Xin Chào keeps its menu narrow on purpose: crackling spring rolls, baguettes packed with pickled vegetables and herbs, and bowls of noodle soup that regulars order by memory rather than by reading. The local city blog puts it at the head of any list of Wageningen's international kitchens, which in a university town with plenty of quick options says something about the cooking. Everything is made fresh and travels well, so a good share of it leaves in a paper bag. There is a second branch in Utrecht; this one is the original neighbourhood address, with a few seats outside when the weather allows.
