Eat Xpress 小食堂 — Restaurant in Madison

When I visited around 3 p.m. on Sunday, the female server who took my order was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I first entered, I asked her in English what the largest menu item was, but she responded with a blank expression and said nothing. After I finally looked at the menu and placed my order, she mumbled something. When I couldn’t understand her, she sighed in frustration and asked. This made the ordering experience very uncomfortable, and at the end, she demanded a tip. I gave a very small amount as a way to express my dissatisfaction. While I was eating, she even came to my table and rudely asked if I really intended to give her that small tip. When I confirmed, she returned to her station with an annoyed attitude.

And note that we were the first customers in right when they opened.

The atmosphere is quiet and I like the long table counters for sitting. Metered street parking is available out front but it is...

I got the beef pho. It was decent not the best pho on state street if your a pho natic like me. It is not your traditional pho if your looking for traditional pho on state steeet.The pho broth is more like a homestyle pho packet broth you can buy at your local asian market and make at home when your lazy. Other then that if your here for the pho I would try down the street if your looking for tradional pho. Otherwise all the other food option is really good. Must try if your looking for something fast...
