A decade or more ago I would swing into this meat market in search of beef jerky…read more Back then I also shopped for the occasional cut to grill at a friends home who at the time lived nearby. That was long ago. Today I wanted beef jerky but left with smoked brisket. Because it was sealed in a plastic bag it's likely it's shelf life could be eons. I didn't bother to inspect any date of production codes, I only cut open an end and ate a few wet (yes, drenched, as though it was swimming in the confined airtight compartment!) strips. I didn't exactly know what I should expect, but wet salty bacon looking slices wasn't anticipated. Taste was good, but didn't fulfill the jerky-jones I wanted to relieve. Thinking back, I am thinking MSG, the yummy and (erroneously) feared stuff Chinese restaurants liberally utilize to assure the food is addictive in such a way you want to keep adding as soon as swallowing the previous bite. That's a good thing. The meat was indeed something I finally had to take a stand against and forcefully stop myself from consuming. It was delicious but strange. I doubt I'd buy it again, though my daughter who historically claims to HATE MEAT, busted in layer that day when I returned to get her, and devoured it. Last time that happened was the day I myself smoked some jerky at home. I was told by my wife "Nicole was eating that jerky you made, until I told her it was meat, then she stopped and refused to eat more. Haha, at least she ate a bunch, because I wasn't going to, I didn't care for the seasoning I used.

PROS: -medium/large grocer, don't expect a super Walmart, big box type of grocery store -located in a newer neighborhood on Cottage Grove Drive, in a plaza where you can get your hair, eye, and dental appointments done as well -nice parking lot, clean and well kept: not your average grocery store parking lot -Free WiFi available in the store -part of the Kroger grocery family: sign up for a rewards card and download the app to order grocery for pick-up or delivery online, clip coupons, look over ads -lots of deals and discounts, if you're into Couponing this is a good place to go to -large market style section for ready made food with lots of options, designed to drive you to go there first upon entry...so don't come when hungry! -respectable cheese section for a Wisconsin store -plenty of self-check out and cashier counters for its size CONS: -only open from 6am to 10pm -would be nice to have a larger produce section

The space was small with two stalls, and the changing table was set up outside of the handicap stall in the main area. This was especially problematic because if I put down the table, it blocked the door to the handicap stall ( blocking others from using/leaving it). As a first time mom, I was flustered and disappointed. It was better to change my child's diaper in the car. TLDR: bathrooms are not designed with families in mind.

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.

Construction around this place made it a pain to get here, but finally got there. I dig what they…read moreare doing here, and feel this is a great way to get exposure to many types of dining all at once. Came here on a Monday, and unfortunately, a handful of the stalls were not open. Bummer, as the Filipino joint happened to be one of the stalls. Didnt stop me from looking. All the different food stalls are on the perimeter of this place, with ample seating in the middle. This place is also connected to a market, so if you happen to need a little something extra to supplement your meal, you could get it from here, though no real prepared food, so I'm thinking more of condiments or drinks. The market itself seemed to have a fairly decent selection of Asian groceries and items, with discounted items right before the checkout lines (genius). I found myself going through the drinks for a good 5-10 minutes alone. I hope this place does well. I was here on a Monday in the summer, so hopefully this wasn't a good representation of their normal traffic, but this place was DEAD. OVERALL - if you're wanting the variety of a mall food court, but specifically with Asian choices, come check this place out! CELEBRITY RATING - Donnie Yen

When I went to get a newspaper yesterday, I took an ice creme bucket with me and she had a couple quarts of coffee grounds set aside for me. I went back today and asked for her name. The woman at the counter gave it to me, smiled and told me I could get them anytime I needed to. That kind of customer service keeps me coming back.
