Being able to get a good Pho in Madison winters is a must. Saigon Noodles serves a honestly smashing Pho. Its got spacious seating and friendly and efficient service. The broth, the rice noodles, the vegetables, the pickled carrots and radishes and grilled meats are all served in delicious combinations.

One of our favorites is the pho ga, or chicken pho. The broth is perfectly seasoned and served with really good rice noodles and soft pulled chicken. It comes with a side of lime to squeeze on and thai basil, moong peppers and jalapenos to add to the bowl as you eat. You can also add a soy based thick sauce or chili garlic which is kept tableside. Be careful because the jalapenos and the chili garlic are really hot.

Theres a vegeterian version as well that is equally hearty and comforting.

Another meal i like is the curry marinated grilled chicken on a bed of lettuce and noodles. The noodles are great to enjoy this way and taste fantastic with the chicken. My favorite part though is the pickled cucumbers, carrots and radish and fried onion with the crushed peanut which really add some x factor sparkle to the dish. 

They also do fruit smoothies and if you want to try coconut water with the coconut flesh this is the place to do it too.
