    The noodles were AMAZING! They were definitely fresh and I devoured the food when I got it. I also got the crab Rangoon and unfortunately it tasted stale and didn't seem like any crab was in it. It tasted like it only had the cream cheese. I definitely would go back but would stick with the noodles rather than get an appetizer as well.

    When I heard a new Taigu Noodles was coming to town, I knew I had to check it out! After trying dan dan noodles all over Madison, I can confidently say Taigu has the best so far. Everything was cooked fresh to order, absolutely delicious, and the portions were huge--even at lunch! Plus, the service was amazing, and the staff were fantastic. The ambiance was great and there was so much space! Safe to say, I'll definitely be back!

    This is the second location of Taigu Noodles. This location is a sit down restaurant. I went for a take out on a week day for lunch. The restaurant was empty. There were a couple of take outs in the counter. Spicy ginger beef cat ear noodles was my favorite item here. Beef was vary flavorful. Pasta was soft and fluffy. It is slightly oily though. Spicy curry chicken stir fried noodles was my other item. It was good as well.

    I have talked to Gao Hong about a spicy baby squad dish for some time and today we had our first sample. AMAZING! Baby squid have been hard to get but are finally available. The baby squid and larger squid pieces were perfectly cooked--not rubbery or tough. The texture was soft and tender. Made with red and green peppers and onions, the mild spice even surprised my wife who doesn't like to try unusual flavors. She enjoyed it enough to help me eat the leftovers . The amount of squid was generous and goes well with scallion pancakes. This is a dish you MUST try at least once. Right now, it is not on the menu but will be if enough interest is shown. I suggest calling first to be sure they have enough ingredients to make a dish for you. Ask for Spicy Baby Squid. It will make a wonderful addition to your Chinese food adventure. Hun hao!

    My friends came down to visit me in Chicago and kept telling me how amazing this noodle spot in Middleton is. I told them I would try it the next time I came up to the Madison area, and that's exactly what I did. Parking wasn't a problem as there are spots out front and along the street. Ambiance was anything special; yet, was clean, climate controlled, and welcoming. My family and I were pleased to see that their seating arrangement is that of several large booth style seats. I have two minor complaints about the ambiance and that is the flies that were annoying us (and not very sanitary), and the lack of background noise. There was no music, no instrumentals, and nothing to damper the sound of slurping noodles and patron conversations. Coming from Chicago it is rare to dine at a place without background noise, and coming from Chicago it could have helped my family because we are loud! The service wasn't bad, but wasn't particularly good either. For some reason the waiter offered everybody else chopsticks or regular utensils but us (this is me being sensitive as I would have preferred chopsticks but only got a fork). They also didn't check in to see how we were enjoying our meal or to see if we needed refills. Now that I have my petty complaints out the way let me get to the noodles.... The noodles were BANGING!!!!!!!! The texture of the noodles was perfect: soft, but not too soft. Chewy, but not too chewy. We got three different plates: cat ear something, spicy beef, and not spicy beef. All the noodles were distinctly flavored and paired perfectly with vegetables. The spicy wasn't too spicy but wasn't weak either. The meat was tender, marinated, and seasoned well. The veggie spring rolls were super crispy, didn't taste or drip oil, and were delicious, especially with the sauce! The plates are about $20 each, but they are huge and appropriately balanced. Next time my wife and I will definitely share a plate considering pricing and portions. Overall, I found Taigu noodles to be amongst the most unique Asian noodles that I have ever had as a world traveler. They are a true hidden gem in the Madison area!

    Great place!!! I loved talking to the lady there who was our server, I came in earlier than the rest of my party and the place was pretty dead so she kept me company there. Cute restaurant decor and a nice place to meet up with friends. Food is good too, for the Madison area it's a great find for Asian food, try the beef shank appetizer!! The food comes out hot and they're known for noodles which is for good reason--I personally had the taigu spicy stir-fried noodles and enjoyed them. There are vegetarian options too if you need them.

    Had completely forgotten about this Chinese take out joint (but apparently they also deliver now as…read morewell)... but was looking for a Chinese take out joint for Xmas dinner. We had few if any expectations but wow for a take out joint, it's exactly what you'd expect and hope for. No it's not authentic in a Chinese culinary way... but it's completely authentic in an American Chinese take out experience. The Sesame noodles were awesome - lip smacking, tasty, and burning... clinched Ling Pow Chicken was decent. The pan fired dumplings completely serviceable. I'm glad we rediscovered this neighborhood Chinese take out joint.

    I don't know what has happened to this place, but man is has turned poor, bad, and muy mal. If you…read moreknow, you know. The last two orders were not hot and fresh, they don't bother the read any instructions any more and the quality of the food is just so bad now. The sweet and sour chicken tasted fishy. The chicken lowmein is just dry noodles with some onions and bad tasting slimy chicken pieces. The pork egg rolls were soft and mushy and the hot and sour soup mimics preset jello. My daughter laughed as it jiggled. I would not recommend ordering from here until they relearn how to do Chinese food. If I were the owner, I would be embarrassed for this to represent me. Before it went in the dumps- The place is clean, the service is great and the food is always made to order. SO, it's always hot, fresh, and delicious. It's our go-to for great Chinese food. Would definitely recommend!

    I took my son there on a Sunday afternoon. No other customers. The place is modern and spacious,…read moreand clean. The menu prices were all at least a buck more expensive than what we expected from looking at the menus posted online. The Thai spring rolls were small but good. I ordered beef with vegetables stir fry with Hunan style sauce, which had one chili pepper icon hotness promised. The vegetables and beef ere okay, a bit on the skimpy side, but almost no chili heat and ruined by dumping sugar in it. I hate Chinese food destroyed by making it sweet for no reason other than to cater to some idiotic stereotype that Americans want sugar and grease in all their food. My son ordered beef and vegetable stir fry as well, with the Shanghai sesame sauce. He had the same complaint, his was supposed to have two chili pepper icon hotness but he said it wasn't hot at all, and he said it too was sugary. Big disappointment. Even the fortune cookies were disappointing, some crap about being a hit on social media. Stop dumping sugar into everything! Don't say it has some chili heat then serve it bland! I guess I understand why we were the only customers. The hunt continues for a nearby Chinese restaurant that does a good job. If we ever return, I will interrogate the guy taking the order and specifically ask if they have anything on the menu not ruined by dumping unnecessary sugar into it.
