The broth was…read moredelicious, but it felt like it was missing something...I also wish that the dish came with more veggies / meat. 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. You order up front, and they deliver the food to you. After that, you put away your dishes/trash. Very standard noodle shop. Nothing too crazy. 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.

I appreciated that they had a clear window so you could see them making the handpulled noodles and the prices were fair, especially for state street. We got the braised beef noodle which was wonderful. Rich broth, very tender meat, which could have had thicker pieces, but I was pretty impressed with the flavor of the soup. It might have been that it was a particularly cold day and it just hit, but it worked. The pan fried dumplings were okay. The dough was a little thick and there wasn't any soup in them. Overall, I don't think there is another hand pulled noodle place in Madison, at this price and area, so I would say I'm a fan and it's worth trying.

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.

I got a wide variety of different items that strongly reminded me of dim sum, which I don't really get much of at all anymore. I think everything I got was great - definitely scratched the itch for dim sum related dishes. The venue itself is two levels tall, but it can still be quite intimate - pretty low seating on the first floor and a handful of tables on the second. It's a nice place to briefly take a respite from the hustle and bustle of State Street and refuel both the body and soul.
