These were amazing. Also got the sesame chicken which was really good. The chicken was nice and crunchy. Also got the lamb skewer. This was okay. The flavors were all there but they need to work on this one. Has potential to be really good. Value(A) I got two appetizers and a dish for $36 including tip and tax. You can probably spend $25 and get out of there and be full. Note I had leftovers. Service (A) I want to give to them an A+ because the server was super nice and helpful. But that food came out in wrong order and lamb took a while. The food was fresh since it was hot. Note I went around 2pm on a Monday so there was only 1 other table. I could see this service taking a while when full. It's a small place and the exterior is crap. But the interior is really nice It's a good place, go off hours and you should no problems. It's worth it and the other reviews seem accurate. Give them a shot

The feeling of numbness for some reason makes the food very appetizing. It's a big portion, where you can probably bring it home for leftovers. Skewers are also an option here as a nice aside. There is a variety of alcoholic options, including wine, liquor shots, beer, and sakes. The drinks are great with the games they have in the restaurant and the ambiance.

Great hole in the wall location…read more The pork in the pork belly stir-fry is some of the most tender pork I have tried in Madison. The level of spice is reasonable. Do note that the dish does not come with rice, but can be ordered on the side. The chicken momo is juicy and pairs well with the sauce they provide for you. Be sure to give it some time to sit because it's hot and fresh.

I was too hungry and didn't get to take pictures. Words do not do justice, so you'll have to come try the food! The place is small, so if you are hungry, plan ahead before peak time.

Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Definitely a great spot if you're craving flavorful Asian food. I'll definitely be coming back!

Last Friday, we spontaneously decided to give Tai's Asian Bistro a shot. I've noticed this place…read morefor years since moving to Wisconsin, but somehow never got around to trying it. I really missed out! We initially planned to grab takeout from A-Mart Deli, but when we found it closed, I figured it was finally time to check out Tai's. Food came out super fast, the lady at the counter was very sweet when I asked her what she would recommend. The space is clean and cozy. Everything was fantastic! The egg rolls, sesame chicken, ribs, and the Chow Ho Fun were some of the best I've ever had. The only dish that didn't quite impress was the Pad Thai. It seems like the key is to stick with the Chinese dishes there rather than the Thai or Vietnamese options. Regardless, the food was incredible, and I think I hesitated to try it due to all the negative reviews. Now I know where I'll be going for my next Chinese takeout!

It is constantly packed, but the staff and owners always tend to us and make sure our food is always the best quality. If you ever have time, talk to the owners. Tell them thank you. They are incredible people who really know how to make you laugh and feel completely at home!! Ask about their family's other restaurants in the area, they are truly a powerhouse of talented people. I am vegan and I always order the Thai Curry or the Mango Coconut Curry with tofu along with an appetizer of baji (crispy chickpea flower veggie fritters), samosas, or Tibetan dumplings (steamed). The curry is the best I've ever had, so incredibly rich and deep in layered flavor. The tomatoey Nepali style sauce served with appetizers is to die for--salted to perfection and the tamarind sauce is also incredible. Here's a little tip: if you LOVE spicy food, and I mean if you LOVE pain and suffering, ask for a 10 out of 5 spice level. One of the owners got such a kick out of me ordering high spice levels and I worked up to a 14 out of 5. Granted, once I ate a 14 out of 5 on an empty stomach and felt the impact for DAYS...lol so now I stick with a 5/5 spice level every time I go. So please be smart about it and use caution. It sure is fun though. Thank you staff at the Globe for being a part of this community and bringing us closer to your cultural cuisine. Your food matters so much to me and the city of Madison. And also, thank you for being so friendly to me and feeding my soul through some of the hardest times of my life. Love, Emma.

The best elevated sushi spot in Madison. A reservation is needed to dine here…read more Fish here is high quality by Midwest standards. I think the standout thing here is the specialty rolls. The rolls are big, the rice is soft, and are stuffed to the brim with fish and various toppings. The Salmon Lover roll is my favorite and I always order it, alongside with whatever seasonal rolls intrigue me. Drinks here are really good as well - I recommend the Always Sunny and the Lychee Martini if you enjoy a sweet cocktail :)

Despite that, my order wasn't ready until 9:00 p.m. What was even more disappointing than the delay was the complete lack of customer service. No one apologized, offered an explanation, or acknowledged that I had been waiting. Delays can happen, but how a business responds makes all the difference. Unfortunately, this experience left me with the impression that customer service is simply not a priority here. That being said. The sushi was great.

That math doesn't even make sense and the guy on the phone couldn't care less. Placed an order at RED instead and was in and out in only 30 minutes. Food was ready by the time I got there. Muramoto doesn't seem to be able to retain talent, so the wait times keep getting worse and their wait staff turns over so they don't really care to provide good service. Lesson learned.

My top 3 favorites are: 1) deep fried chicken w/ chili pepper, 2) cumin lamb, and 3) stir fried string bean. Their sliced fish & tofu with spicy sauce and their Chinese cabbage with dried shrimp are really yummy too. The serving size of each plate is very generous (albeit, food here can be pricey). I ate hot pot here with friends before, and while the food was satisfactory, I think we should've received larger portions on each plate. Servers here are not exactly warm & talkative, but that does not bother me at all. They are very efficient in taking orders, bringing food out in a timely manner, and making sure your water cup stays full (despite how busy it gets around lunch/dinnertime). Fugu is great for accommodating party sizes of 1-10. Restrooms are available for customers. They are kept clean and well-stocked!
