If you don't already, I would always recommend using the complimentary mint, bean sprouts, and lime for your pho. They seat you quickly from the moment you walk in.

Pho Nam is located in a newer development that features other tasty businesses like Mongolian hot pot and Peruvian rotisserie chicken. We were craving some hot pho, filled with veggies, and this hit the spot. We were promptly greeted and seated upon entering. I ordered a bowl of their vegan broth with additional veggies, added alongside the rice noodles and tofu. It was packed with broccoli, carrots, sprouts and basil. My sister ordered the chicken pho and was equally pleased. I loved seeing how they had their kids helping with the business and everyone was so friendly. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're in the Madison area. Bonus points for offering a vegan option.

We are from Ohio and ate dinner here last night. Everything was absolutely fabulous! The staff is…read moresuper friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. We had the chicken satay appetizer that was big enough for an entree! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sweet chili sauce gave it a nice heat.

HUGE portion! I have enough leftovers for two more meals and I can't wait to devour it! Definitely visit this restaurant if you are in Madison!

It's got a gelatin shell so keep that in mind before ordering. It was a weekday and although seated right away it was pretty busy and our entree took a while to prep. Our appetizers came out almost right away. The environment was comfortable and inviting. All in all this was an amazing food visit for us. Only wish we had this back in VA go here you'll enjoy it!

It is constantly packed, but the staff and owners always tend to us and make sure our food is always the best quality. If you ever have time, talk to the owners. Tell them thank you. They are incredible people who really know how to make you laugh and feel completely at home!! Ask about their family's other restaurants in the area, they are truly a powerhouse of talented people. I am vegan and I always order the Thai Curry or the Mango Coconut Curry with tofu along with an appetizer of baji (crispy chickpea flower veggie fritters), samosas, or Tibetan dumplings (steamed). The curry is the best I've ever had, so incredibly rich and deep in layered flavor. The tomatoey Nepali style sauce served with appetizers is to die for--salted to perfection and the tamarind sauce is also incredible. Here's a little tip: if you LOVE spicy food, and I mean if you LOVE pain and suffering, ask for a 10 out of 5 spice level. One of the owners got such a kick out of me ordering high spice levels and I worked up to a 14 out of 5. Granted, once I ate a 14 out of 5 on an empty stomach and felt the impact for DAYS...lol so now I stick with a 5/5 spice level every time I go. So please be smart about it and use caution. It sure is fun though. Thank you staff at the Globe for being a part of this community and bringing us closer to your cultural cuisine. Your food matters so much to me and the city of Madison. And also, thank you for being so friendly to me and feeding my soul through some of the hardest times of my life. Love, Emma.

The menu can change/rotate, so be aware of that. You order at a counter and the staff bring the food out to you. My husband and I went and had some Afghan Korma Curry, thai coconut curry hurry and some momos with a mango lassi. I preferred the Korma to the thai curry, but both were good. Mango lassi was cooling, which was nice, as some of these dishes had a kick to them.

Be sure to give it some time to sit because it's hot and fresh.

Last Friday, we spontaneously decided to give Tai's Asian Bistro a shot. I've noticed this place…read morefor years since moving to Wisconsin, but somehow never got around to trying it. I really missed out! We initially planned to grab takeout from A-Mart Deli, but when we found it closed, I figured it was finally time to check out Tai's. Food came out super fast, the lady at the counter was very sweet when I asked her what she would recommend. The space is clean and cozy. Everything was fantastic! The egg rolls, sesame chicken, ribs, and the Chow Ho Fun were some of the best I've ever had. The only dish that didn't quite impress was the Pad Thai. It seems like the key is to stick with the Chinese dishes there rather than the Thai or Vietnamese options. Regardless, the food was incredible, and I think I hesitated to try it due to all the negative reviews. Now I know where I'll be going for my next Chinese takeout!

I came on a weeknight around 6pm and had no trouble getting a table for 3. But it's a very small and narrow space so I imagine it can get pretty full on a weekend.

I'm a bit conflicted about the meal I had. First off, service was great, and the speed the food…read morearrived was perfect. So, absolutely no issues there. For an appetizer, I had the gyoza, and it was perfect. Evenly fried and steamed, even if it was just frozen stuff from the bag like at the Japanese restaurant I used to work at, it was at least prepared with skill. My main entree was the garlic miso ramen. And while each component worked on its own, all of them put together made it seem less as a whole. My biggest issues were the chashu pork which came out a little overcooked. I know the reason, and probably shouldn't hold it against them, but it reminded me a bit of the overcooked pork of my childhood. The other issue was the broth. It was sweet on the backend, which really didn't do it for me the more I've thought about it. I'm not sure if it was the pork broth or the tare. My suspicion lies heavier towards the tare than the broth, but I could be wrong. Either way, I felt that such noticeable sweetness was out of place especially since it did too much to counter the garlic flavor. I suspect it was there to do that for those who don't like a heavy garlic flavor, but then again, if you don't like garlic flavor, you shouldn't be ordering something labeled as garlic on the menu. I will say that marinating the egg was a nice touch and gave it a depth of flavor that typically isn't there from other ramen places I've tried. Otherwise, it was good overall, it just felt like it didn't completely come together with the sweetness of the broth and the pork being a tad overcooked. Still, despite perhaps not looking like it, Zen Ramen was a solid little ramen shop on the East Side and I would not oppose going back to try some of their other ramen bowls. It might not blow your mind if you're a regular ramen connoisseur, but is still a solid spot if you want something affordable and unpretentious.
