Viet Town | First time eating stone pot hot rice noodles

Madison Pho with a Twist! Stone Pot Noodles + Mó Yoghurt-Style Smoothie 🍜 After trying so many Pho spots in Madison, this Viet Town joint finally brings something new to the table! From stone pot pho to rare sugar apple smoothies, even the service caters to introverts—it’s already on my “go-to” list. 📍 Basic Info Name: Viet Town (near Grand World Supermarket) Price per person: $20–$40 (depends on your order) 🍜 Must-Try Noodles: Double Down on Stone Pot Pho & Sour-Spicy Rice Noodles! Their signature is Stone Pot Pho ($24)—served piping hot, the stone pot keeps the noodles warm until the last bite. It has a generous portion and is loaded with toppings. The only tiny downside: the broth is a bit light, but there are seasonings on the table—just add a pinch of salt to taste. Even better is the sour-spicy rice noodles! It’s similar to Tom Yum but without the rich coconut milk—tangy, spicy, and super appetizing. The toppings and flavor are more complex than the Pho, and it totally woke up my taste buds. Personally, it’s even more worth ordering than the signature! 🥢 Appetizer Surprise: Tea-Infused Spring Rolls We got an appetizer with “tea leaves” in the name (can’t remember the exact one)—it’s basically spring rolls mixed with tea leaves! It has a subtle sweet tea aroma that regular spring rolls don’t have, light and non-greasy. Perfect for cutting through the richness of the noodles. 🧋 Drink Highlight: Avocado Smoothie Tastes Just Like Mó Yoghurt! You have to order the Avocado Smoothie! It tastes exactly like Mó Yoghurt back home—rich, creamy, and packed with avocado flavor. The Sugar Apple Smoothie is also great, with sweet, fresh fruit notes. Both are rare flavors here, a bit pricey but totally worth it! 💡 Bonus: Introvert-Friendly Details The decor is clean and fresh, and the staff is friendly. The best part? There’s a call button on the table—no need to get up and wave for service; just press it and someone comes over. Total win for introverts! 📌 Verdict: A Fresh Choice for Pho Lovers If you’re tired of traditional Pho, this spot’s stone pot version and sour-spicy noodles are perfect for something new. Pair it with an avocado smoothie, and you’ll have a satisfying meal. It’s near Grand World Supermarket, so it’s convenient to grab a bowl after grocery shopping. ✅ Recommendations: Sour-Spicy Rice Noodles, Avocado Smoothie, Tea-Infused Spring Rolls #100RestaurantChallenge #uwmadison #UniversityofWisconsinMadison #MadisonFood #MadisonEats #madison #MadisonVietnameseFood
