Hello from my inflamed bronchials. I feel like absolute garbage and would love to hear your tried and true sick day take out meals for when you’re under the weather!
ETA: thanks a ton everyone! I think I have a few days ahead of me to try out several sick day meals.
ETA 2: I just saw the typo in my title and I hate myself.
I was hoping for a good pho recommendation…a necessity!
Pho Lucas for sure.
Pho at Pho Thein Phat! Number 15... Tai. I use it for hangovers, sickness, and even when I "think" I'm starting to get sick.
Pho from pho 79 on staples mills! They have the best broth and the meat quality there is superior to the other pho places in richmond.
Avgolomeno Soup (Greek on Cary)
Chin, Nam, Gau, Gan, Sach Pho (Pho Tay Do)
Menudo de Res (El Chido)
Arroz Caldo (My Kitchen)
Vindaloo from Lemon w/ some garlic Naan. Like to crank up the heat and clear out the sinuses
Mexican Ramen from Goatocado.
I love that everyone is recommending pho! My go to is Pho Tay Do!
Avgolemono is my go to, right after pho
Seconding Pho Tay Do
Chicken soup from Chicken Fiesta. Also maybe a tamal de elote or cheese nachos.
Matzo ball soup from Pearlys.
Spicy bite with nacho cheese from 7-11 and tall boy peeber
Pho So 1 on Broad
Wawa Mac and Cheese, this is not a joke.
This is the Way. I have spoken, Shut and take my money, etc. etc.,
This is the way.
Matzo Ball soup from Perly's
This is by far my favorite pho I’ve had in the city.
I miss the Vietnamese food in the twin cities… :’f
Takara Ramen
Mekong usually
Yep! Make it super spicy, then put your face over it and breathe in the steam like in Crocodile Dundee!
Pho for Vietnam 1
Tom kha soup (I like chicken) and curry puffs from elephant thai. Soothing And comfort.
Hot and sour soup. Peter chang's is optimal but there's one closer I'm happy enough with. Ever since the one where Galley is now, closed anyhow. They had the best ever. Kept in the lily.
Can’t get it anymore, but Answer Brew used to have a perfect fried rice with an egg on top and a cup of really lovely pho broth on the side. Miss that combo like crazy.
Wawa chicken soup
Chicken soup from chicken fiesta!
Grace Noodle Tonkatsu Ramen add kimchi. Another mention to Chicken Fiesta chicken soup (it's legit so mind the bones). Stella's Grocery rtg soups.
Yeah, more addictive than coke too.
I just ate there for the first time 3 days ago, and I don't get it. Got my order wrong, got the person behind me order wrong, got the person across from me order wrong, and there was maybe 10 people in there. On top of that, I didn't really think the phò was all that great. Idk. Maybe I'll give it another go. Maybe I caught them on a bad day.
I e been eating here for like, 15 years (fuck). And yeah, never had a bad meal.
Get the Pennywort drink too… it’s refreshing
Try Vietnam 1
That's odd, I've been there probably several dozen times over the past few years and not once has my order been wrong. Like you said, you probably caught them on a really bad day.
Love that little place
Service was super nice and I know people love it there.
Grace Noodle
Came here to say Pho Thein Phat. My favorite pho joint. I miss living close by, but will still always make the trip whenever a friend suggests it.
Same, I'm in louisa now and everytime I'm in short pump I make a visit to pho thein phat 2
I loveeee tom kha. Is theirs pretty spicy?
You can adjust the level when you order. I usually get it medium spicy.
Kimchi Jigae from KOGI. So hot, so spicy, so fermented.

Beef pho from pho lucas. I have a full quart of their broth in my freezer in case of emergencies.
