Earlier this week, my acupuncurist recommended that I pick up the vegetarian udon noodle soup from Pho Nam to help in fighting a cold. I thought it was an odd prescription, but since I really wasn't up for cooking, I decided to give her suggestion a whirl. One whiff of that huge bowl of steaming soup convinced me that she was right. It is truly soul warming...Just what the doctor ordered, if you will.
My first visit to Pho Nam was five days ago. I've now been a total of 3 times. At the moment, I am hung up on (some might use the terminology "obsessed with") the soups, so I can't comment beyond that. But do I really need to?
I've had speedy and pleasant service with each visit. The atmosphere is cozy and clean, but light on customers. It's unsettling to me to see such a great place not have a busier dining room. In fact, that's precisely the reason I signed up to yelp today and wrote my first ever review about Pho Nam. Get over there and patron this fantastic little (locally owned) Madison gem!
