Over lunch with his son, the writer ordered brisket pho for 11,000 won and beef jjamppong pho for 12,000 won, and found the brisket pho mild and clean enough for a child, with a standard noodle serving as big as a large portion elsewhere. Madam Hao stays open until 3am and offers group seating and private rental, so it suits both a family lunch and a late-night drink. ## Good to know - **Brisket pho**: 11,000 won - **Beef jjamppong pho**: 12,000 won - **Sprite**: 2,000 won - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:00–03:00 / Sat 17:00–03:00 / Sun 11:30–03:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Available right beside the restaurant - **Public transit**: 3-minute walk from the Ajou University / Ajou University Hospital bus stop - **Address**: 49 World Cup-ro 193beon-gil, Unit 101, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi - **Ordering**: Tablet kiosk at the table - **Groups**: Plenty of tables, private rental available *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* > MADAM HAO ![Storefront entrance with the Madam Hao sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-01-sstou-900.webp) ## Why we chose Madam Hao for pho near Ajou University in Suwon It's been quite a while since my last trip to Vietnam.

With decor that really brings out the local Vietnamese feel, warm lighting, and wood-toned interiors, the vibe was excellent — I even spotted a couple on a date near Ajou University. ![Seating area at Madam Hao with warm lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-06-14nxl-900.webp) Once we sat down, cool water and shrimp chips arrived right away haha ![Complimentary shrimp chips and a glass of water](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-07-g2ei5-m-900.webp) ### Ordering at Madam Hao through the table kiosk You order through the kiosk at each table, and paper cups and various condiments were provided at the top of the table. ![Table with the ordering kiosk and condiments](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-08-th1he-900.webp) For first-time visitors to Madam Hao, each menu item comes with a note on how to eat it best — handy to reference. ![Guide board showing how to enjoy each menu item](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-09-1urv1-900.webp) As basic side dishes, we got pickled radish, chili, lemon, and kimchi — just like the pho places I visited in Vietnam. ![Side dishes of pickled radish, chili, lemon, and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-10-8mt7y-1200.webp) ## Brisket pho 11,000 won and beef jjamppong pho 12,000 won For this visit, we ordered brisket pho for 11,000 won, beef jjamppong pho for 12,000 won, and a Sprite for 2,000 won. ![Table with brisket pho and beef jjamppong pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-11-1oq4o-900.webp) ### Is Madam Hao's brisket pho mild enough for kids? The dish I ordered for my son was the brisket pho, and its clean yet rich broth was the appeal. It's mild enough for a child to eat and made to suit Korean palates, so I'd recommend it to anyone trying pho for the first time. ![A bowl of clear-broth brisket pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-12-mfjyb-900.webp) ![Pho topped with generous chunks of brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-13-5xl74-900.webp) It's loaded with generous chunks of meat, and the noodle portion was more than expected too, so the pho alone was enough to fill us up. ![Noodles lifted up from a bowl of brisket pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-14-4js2d-900.webp) ### Beef jjamppong pho, the hangover bowl at Madam Hao Craving something spicy, I ordered the beef jjamppong pho, and its hearty, spicy broth was the highlight — perfect if you need something to cure a hangover. ![A bowl of spicy beef jjamppong pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-15-1vvit-900.webp) Noodle dishes usually leave you hungry again quickly, but even the standard order at Madam Hao comes with a noodle portion that's like a large size at other places, so the fullness lasted a long time. ![A bowl of Madam Hao pho with a generous noodle portion](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son-16-1ihk5-900.webp) ## Final verdict on Madam Hao in Suwon Lastly, Madam Hao near Ajou University in Suwon is a great choice when you're craving pho, and the staff were so friendly that I was very satisfied overall. Next time I'd like to try the bun cha too. I'd highly recommend Madam Hao near Ajou University to anyone looking for a filling lunch spot, or a good-vibe restaurant with group seating for drinks. ## Where it is - Madam Hao (마담하오) - 49 World Cup-ro 193beon-gil, 101ho, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 영통구 월드컵로193번길 49 101호 - 37.2769947, 127.0449131 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EB%8B%B4%ED%95%98%EC%98%A4/@37.2769947,127.0449131,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@under-the-sign/suwon-ajou-madam-hao-pho-with-son/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
