I visited Luang Prabang, a Lao-Thai cart on Library Mall, a few times earlier this year. They had a…read moreregular menu that included curries, noodles, and salads, but also a rotating daily menu, all at very affordable prices. The people working at the cart were really nice and accommodating, and were happy to modify any dish they could for ingredients that you can't or don't eat. The first thing I tried was the squash curry, which was a really generous portion size for $7, consisting of rice topped with a rich coconut milk-based curry filled with chicken, kabocha, and zucchini. It was really filling and tasty. But the real winner from the cart after a few visits was the avocado spring roll, which was $3.50 and the size of a burrito. It was basically a giant fresh roll filled with avocado, lettuce, cabbage, mint, rice noodles, cucumber, carrot, and peanut sauce. We got the medium spicy sauce, and it had a fantastic kick to it. Still can't believe something so large was only a few dollars, as it was such a great deal. Definitely worth trying this cart if you're looking for something to eat on campus.

Our server, Mariana, was very enthusiastic and helped us figure out what we might like. I ordered the pineapple ginger specialty and my daughter ordered the stir-fried peanut specialty. She really enjoyed hers. I enjoyed mine as well, but felt there was way too much sauce for my preference-I may ask for less sauce next time. There was a great deal of food and I was able to turn it into two additional leftover meals!

We moved to WI from California. Saw this vietnamese food place and was excited to try it out. Got…read moreto say, it is a bit underwhelming. Food is completely bland, no flavor at all. I ordered the following: 1) basil fried rice ($15) 2) hot and sour soup ($5) 3) broken rice with bbq pork ($19) ** Bonus, free egg rolls The price is ok, but the portion is small. 1) basil fried rice barely had any basil flavor, the broccoli took away any flavor left. The rice is soggy and the bamboo shoot seem like it comes out of a can. 2) hot and sour soup lack has some flavor. Still missing the sour part. Im addition, it is very thick, I think it has too much starch added to it. 3) the broken rice is not made with broken rice. It's made with the same rice as everything else. The bbq pork is drive, again lack seasoning. The fish sauce is so sweet. It's missing the salty part and flavorfulness. I think 3 stars is fair.

The food goes great with jasmine green tea for a chilly night and looking to get a little caffeine bump. My friend's pineapple rice looked great too. Portions are a good size, I had leftovers even though I was so hungry. Definitely ample portion for one person and can potentially share with two persons. Small and cute. I found this place to buys around dinner time. Parking is street neighborhood parking that was not hard to find a spot for. I would definitely come back!

The flavor wasn't something I enjoyed. I ate one of the two. I was not a fan of the duck sauce since it had a lot of peanuts in it. It is a me thing but I am not a fan of peanuts in general and have never liked them in my Thai food. Only ate 1/4 of the meal due to the peanut taste. I almost went back but was tired after my all day epic training.

The service was attentive and welcoming, while the space has the charm of a classic Asian restaurant with thoughtful decor and a comfortable atmosphere.

The combination of romaine, cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, mint, homemade daikon, and the crispy fried egg roll wrapper created the perfect balance of freshness and crunch. The nem nuong dipping sauce was so good that I ordered extra. I also tried the Panang Red Curry, and it was outstanding. The curry was rich, creamy, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor. I ordered level 1 spice, and it was the perfect amount of heat without overwhelming the dish. The homemade curry paste, coconut milk, basil, peppers, and jasmine rice came together beautifully. It's also been great to see this local business grow. What started as a takeout spot inside Viet Hoa Market has expanded into a larger space on Monona Drive, and it's easy to see why. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the new location offers plenty of seating. If you're craving fresh spring rolls, flavorful curry, or simply a great meal, Hot N Spicy is absolutely worth a visit. Added bonus the service was AMAZING!!!

I wasn't able to see where adjust the spiciness level on the UberEats app, but I'm sure if you are in person in the restaurant you could ask to downgrade the spice level, if needed.

The soup was perfectly balanced and was chock full of mushrooms and chicken. It wasn't overly sweet with the fish sauce helping cutting through, The curry was rich and velvety-amazing depth of flavor. Service was friendly and quick. Just a jewel of a restaurant.
