🇺🇸 Madison Food Review | Saigon Noodles 🍜🌿

Everyone’s been recommending this place—and I always order the same thing: Pho + Spring Roll without even thinking! 😆 But this time, I tried some new dishes—here’s the tea: Lotus Stem Salad with Pork and Shrimp 🥗🦐 Recommended by my Vietnamese friend! He said it’s rare to find this dish abroad—which means this place is LEGIT. Crispy lotus stems, refreshing and crunchy, served with shrimp crackers. So addictive! Pro tip: Pour about 3/4 of the dressing first—add more later if needed. The full amount can be a bit strong. Personally, I like it way more than papaya salad! 🙌 Steamed Rice Rolls (Weekend Special) 🍚 Honestly… just okay. Not bad for trying something new, but I probably won’t order it again. Bún with Chicken and Egg Roll 🍗🍜 I thought it was going to be a bao… but it’s actually vermicelli noodles! And surprise—it was really tasty! A happy accident 😂 Young Coconut Juice 🥥💦 IT HAS REAL COCONUT MEAT INSIDE!!! Absolutely a must-try, guys! 👏 Still a solid spot—authentic, flavorful, and full of pleasant surprises. Definitely worth the visit! #SaigonNoodles #VietnameseFood #MadisonEats #UWMadison #PhoLover #HiddenGems #CoconutJoy 🌟🥢
