Reminds me of a hidden gem in Elmhurst, Queens. Really tasty fusion menu, I ended up with a curry,…read morepho, and rangoons, with the blueberry wontons. For the folks confused about the menu, everything is best enjoyed getting items from each section instead of all Thai, all Chinese etc. The rangoons were fried perfectly and did well with a dunk in red curry. This was a take out order, but the people working at the front got to me quickly and kindly, and the interior looked really cute.

Really disappointing experience from start to finish. We were told the wait would be about 30…read moreminutes and ended up waiting 90, despite multiple tables waiting to be cleaned for long stretches. The whole seating process seemed incredibly inefficient. We asked if we could at least order appetizers at the bar while we waited and were told no because we were waiting for a table, which was frustrating. Service somehow managed to be both inattentive and overbearing. After we were finally seated, we waited close to 30 minutes while trying to order. Once the food arrived, though, our waiter was suddenly at the table every five minutes asking if everything tasted good (it did not). The menu is enormous, to the point that I genuinely don't understand how a kitchen could execute that many dishes well, especially when so many require different ingredients and preparation. Unfortunately, the food pretty much confirmed that suspicion. The curry was watery and almost completely flavorless. The Pad Thai tasted like ketchup. The duck was poorly cooked. The spring roll with an egg roll inside was tasty, but there wasn't enough filling and it was the only thing we particularly enjoyed. I don't mind waiting for good food, and I don't mind a restaurant being busy. But waiting three times longer than quoted, watching tables sit empty, being unable to order anything while waiting, and then getting mediocre food made this a pretty frustrating experience. I wouldn't come back.

Finally found some great pho in Madison! I was on the hunt since moving here 2 months ago and had a…read morecouple of mishaps. Luckily some friends recommended I check out Saigon Noodles and I'm so glad I did! This is a pretty large restaurant with your standard Vietnamese offerings. I've been told the banh mi is great as well but I was on a mission for some pho. I asked for a Pho with steak, tendon, and tripe (they didn't have that particular combination on their menu) and they happily obliged. The broth was clean and flavorful and hit the spot. The texture of the noodles were slight off, almost a bit chewy. That's the only reason I docked one star. Also had the spring rolls and they were a very generous portion and delicious. Will def make this my go to Vietnamese spot

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.

Everything came together perfectly, and the food came out fresh. The bread deserves its own shoutout because it was PERFECT. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect vessel for all those flavorful fillings. The staff was also great and made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is such a cute and cozy little spot, making it a great place to grab a delicious meal and relax. Fresh food, amazing bread, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

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 felt like most of the dish was just the noodles, and it was not balanced (ended up not finishing the noodles). Service is very straightforward.

We came in at a pretty empty time (near 8pm), so service was not packed. It is a standard restaurant with standard seating options. Standard vibes only.
