I'm definitely no expert on Vietnamese cuisine, but I like to consider myself an adventurous eater. I've had good experiences with the sort of "Asian fusion" noodle houses that you can find in most cities, and being new to Madison, I wanted to give this little Vietnamese place a try.
Wow, we were not disappointed. Because it is one of the most traditional Vietnamese dishes, I wanted to try the pho. We could hardly believe our taste buds. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the accoutrements served along with the pho were fresh and tasty. The beef was thinly sliced and pink in the middle. What a treat. We've been back several times since - this is the sort of place that's good enough to cause random cravings. I've been other places to try pho since, and I haven't found anything to compare. Do check this place out!
