It comes with very cute star-shaped mango jelly and heart-shaped strawberry jelly. Reasonable prices, and the baristas are very quick at making drinks!

This is an interesting Chinese Market. The market has a lot of chinese items and other east asian…read moreitems. There was a ton of moon and sun cakes. I tried a couple of poke sticks. Pistachio one was my favorite. There were many Asian ice creams. Propitious mango was a good one. There were a lot of small food places in the food hall. I tried food from a lot of different places. The food hall had a lot of seats, and was neatly maintained. It was never crowded. Kawasaki is close to the entry of Global Market. So the first time I was there, I went straight to this place. I had a Chicken katsu rice bowl. It was one of the best food I had in the food hall. Display had some very delicious and cute cakes. Next time I should try some of that. Taiwan Street has nice pho and bubble tea. I went for a pistachio milk shake, without bubbles. It was good. But I think I should have really went for a pho. They have a lots of sweets in display. I went for a peach swiss roll and a sesame ball. Both were good. From Dumpling House, I went for a chicken and mushroom dumpling and chinese chive pie. Both were good . It came steaming hot. I think I should have gone for some of their more favorite items like chive and pork dumpling. From Nice Flavor Stir Fry , I went for a sauteed sliced lamb with cumin. Generally this is a really flavorful dish which you cannot go wrong with. But it wasn't as good as I expected. Flavors were off, and the quality fo meat was not as good as I expected. Stir fry chicken mei fun was my favorite item from Bowl Bowl Rice. It came hot and was flavorful. I also had a tea leaf flavor egg. It was just $1. But it came with egg shell. I had to peel it. Egg was slightly less flavorful than I expected. Mochi donut is the main item in Glazed. There were some food items as well, but I didn't find takers for that. I went for 3 donuts - Oreo, honey dew and churro. The flavors were all interesting. May be oreo was my favorite. Donut texture was more chewy. From S&B Hmong Kitchen, I went for a fried rice from this place. It was flavorful. Cilantro and scallion on top gave a nice flavor kick. From Poké Mì, I went for a drunken noodles as my entree. It was not as good as I expected. Flavors were off. May be I should have gone for bahn mi. I haven't seen sugar cane juice anywhere else in Madison. So went for one. I thought it was just ok.

This is such a gem in Madison. I will be back!

I had the Salt & Crispy Popcorn Chicken, and it was good. I also tried their Iced Taiwanese Milk Tea, but unfortunately, it was way too milky for my taste. I prefer the darker, richer, and more bitter style of Taiwanese milk tea, so this one didn't hit the mark for me. Ended up tossing a good portion of it, which was disappointing. The tech ordering screen was super convenient and made the process smooth. Plenty of seating inside, but it was a bit humid, which wasn't the most comfortable. Overall Service: There wasn't much direct interaction since everything was done through the tech screen, but the staff did call out my number and it was a pleasant interaction. Quick and efficient!

All were very good, but I liked the braised pork the best! It was so flavorful and delicious, I only wish the ratio of pork to rice was more balanced. Both of our bowls were left with a lot of rice when we were done eating, which I hate to have go to waste. The two sides were really good, I always like taiwanese popcorn chicken and this was excellent! I didn't know what to expect from the tofu, but it really was a crispy block of fried tofu with a scoop of the braised pork on top, delicious! Service is fast, you can order at the kiosk or at the window. Utensils / napkins / water are self serve and you bus the dishes in that same area. I will definitely return when I am in the area!

Strawberry lemonade with mango jelly The drinks were fine - thank goodness they give you the option for level of sweetness. How can anybody go with 100%??? We all got 50% and the slushy and lemonade were sweeter than we cared for. The most unfortunate part was giving my order to somebody that apparently hates their job and didn't know anything about their drinks. I asked about the Kung fu Honey tea and the Winter Melon tea - they just shook their head and said they've never tried them. And, somehow, their energy made ME feel stupid for asking! How the heck did that happen??? Anyway, the drinks were made swiftly, and weren't terrible. I'm just going to assume that this would have been a 4 star review with a different server.

On my quest for the best Bahn Mi in Madison, I paid VK a visit during a weekday. It was later in…read morethe afternoon so the larger dining room was empty. Order at the counter with their menu on display on large LCD's hanging above it. I went with the combination B1 (Pork Roll, Head Cheese, Sliced Pork Belly). For those not as adventurous, they have some more mainstream renditions such as shredded chicken, grilled pork, etc. Upon opening the paper wrapper, was immediately impressed with how jam packed the sandwich was. Alot of protein with fresh vegetables, it was well balanced. Although advertised with pork belly, I picked more of the head cheese than anything else. I did get a hint of BBQ so I am guessing the flavor came from the pork belly (but not sure). The bread had a good crust to it but lacked the softness on the interior that I wanted. Mayo was rather pedestrian and lacked the depth of flavor of homemade mayo from other places. All around, it was very good and plan to stop back for their pho which is also much bally-hooed.
