What really shines here? Their food stall. I had the spam musubi and immediately went back inside to get 2 more lol. The person working the window even gifted me shrimp toast, which was very sweet. (The shrimp toast is fire). This is more of a pick up and go kind of spot, although they have stools and a counter if want to eat there. Think cafeteria vibes but not in a derogatory way. They sell out often. I know bc I came here yesterday around 2pm, SO excited for spam musubi, only to learn that they sold out of everything at 1pm LOL. Today? I made sure to get there around 1130am. Was able to get garlic butter shrimp (7 BIG shrimp, so flavorful) served with pasta salad (delicious, I usually do not love pasta salad), and rice. I also got a shrimp lumpia (delicious) and a spam musubi for later. Food was phenomenal as usual. The food scene in Madison is not as robust as other places I've lived, but this place? A gem. Def give them a try. Just don't go too late like I did yesterday.

I also tried the bbq pork and it has some great flavor but came out a bit cold. You get a lot of food for the price and everyone is super nice.

I like the Turkish cotton candy. Roll max was a good cake. Fruit infused drinks were an interesting concept. Japanese kumquat and lemon drink was my favorite. Speaking about their food counter, snacks like samosa and Uzbek samsa were all really good. But the entree items were just ok. King fish curry was not good. Meat was not as good as I expected.

It is so hard to find Korean pears and Asian sweet potatoes and I feel so lucky that they have it here. I like their various selection of Kimchi and tofu. They have most of the meats needed for any Korean recipe along with many seafood options.

They also have a large selection of nori, seaweed, hot pepper flakes and paste, soybean paste, noodles, sauces, and seasonings. Love the owners and well. Very sweet!

The other guests were uncomfortable and management didn't what me to be a distraction to the other patrons. Whatever. They were so good.... I had to cry. Don't judge. The quesabirra tacos were fan freaking tastic. I think they may only be available on the weekends, and today Cinco De Mayo. Very tender beef, tortilla dipped and cooked but not to a crisp. The dip was super flavorful. I dipped everyone one else's food in it too. In all fairness, it's a Mexican au jus so the saltiness of it may not be for everyone. Keep that in mind. Tacos to go are good as well, just saying. During the covid gap year(s) they didn't bring squeeze bottles of salsa, but they are doing that again. The green salsa is sweet, and the red has some piquín pepper kick. As always we also judge the queso (cheese dip) and it doesn't disappoint. enjoy, and remember if you see someone crying, it may be tears of joy.

Definitely worth seeking out. Very authentic and good prices. Eat local, be friendly.read more

I arrived with a huge appetite and ordered the purple sticky rice, crispy pork belly, papaya salad, and eggrolls. I was absolutely blown away. The papaya salad was on another level--perfectly tart and sweet, exactly how I like it. The pork belly was easily some of the best I've ever had; the skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat just melted in my mouth. It paired perfectly with the hot pepper sauce on the side. Top-tier food and wonderful service! Awesome and generous owners!

I first visited in May for produce but found the quality and selection underwhelming. Later, I heard they stocked some unique ice cream brands, so I went back to check them out. While I appreciate the unique selection, the prices were pretty steep--likely due to tariffs, logistics, and convenience. There was only a couple of customers on a weekday lunchtime, so it was quiet. Since I make monthly grocery runs to Chicago suburbs, I ended up getting my specialty ice creams there instead. I also browsed their hot food bar but didn't find anything that appealed to me. There's also a small cafe attached where they sell baklava and other sweets. On the plus side, the location is very central with plenty of parking.
