| - Family favorite that never gets old. I've been a loyal costumer of Saigon Noodles since day one!
My all-time favorite is the #7 Saigon Platter (~$8) and the #63 Bun with beef and egg roll (~$9). The Saigon platter comes with an egg roll, spring roll, grilled beef skewer, grilled chicken skewer, and a fried chicken drum (or flat). I love the #7 because of the variety and everything single thing that comes with the platter is simple delicious. #63 is a classic. Bun is a Vietnamese vermicelli noodle dish with grilled beef and egg roll chunks, cucumber, lettuce, nuoc mam (a Vietnamese "sauce" that acquires a unique flavor with hints of salty and sweet-- a bit hard to describe so I recommend trying it yourself!).
I've also tried a few of their desserts, such as their Che Ba Mau (Tri-Color Dessert), and strawberry smoothie with tapioca pearls. The Che Ba mau (~$4.25) is traditional Vietnamese dessert with three different colored layers, hence the name "Tri-Color Dessert": mung beans (yellow), red beans (red), a green jelly (green), all in a sweet coconut drink. The strawberry smoothie (~$4.25) is not too sweet which i greatly appreciate. It comes with real fruit pieces and tapioca pearls (+75 cents).
As a Vietnamese-American living in Madison, it's pretty difficult to find an authentic and amazing Vietnamese restaurant, but thankfully there's Saigon Noodles! All the dishes are fantastic!
