Some stand out dishes include the fresh Beijing-style duck, duck fried rice, fried tofu, and the kimchi. These were really tasty and authentic, with the kimchi being freshly made in house. The servers are friendly and make you feel welcome. Admittedly, if it gets super busy (like during Madison Restaurant week), the wait time can be long but it's usually solid. I'm planning to go back another time if I'm in the mood for some duck (best place in greater Madison for Beijing duck hands down)!

As a Chinese person who has spent time living in Los Angeles, and New York City, I can say that…read morethis restaurant is an absolute gem that Madison/verona is insanely lucky to have. The food that I got here was on par with the coastal food scene. The restaurant blends Chinese food from various regions together and all are well executed. If What you're expecting is cheap Americanized Chinese food, sorry you're not gonna find that here. you're going to get high-quality ingredients, sophisticated cooking, and yes at a higher price point. Service was very good, and the restaurant was clean and modern. Crab fried rice - 3.8/5, the fried rice itself was very solid, but unfortunately there wasn't a lot of crab in this to quite justify the price. However, and overall solid dish with very good portions. Crying tiger beef 4.5/5 - amazingly tender, beef short rib that was melting your mouth. Portions weren't huge, and definitely on the price of your side, but you can taste the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chef Fried tofu appetizer 4.5/5- lightly fried, with just the right amount of salt and savoriness. Got this off the happy hour menu and would highly recommend. Chrysanthemum soup 5/5 -to be completely honest, have never had a dish quite like this. The depth of the vegetarian broth, and artful arrangement of tofu was mind blowing. Probably my favorite dish. Pea, sprouts with garlic 4.5/5 -solid portions, good flavor, not overly oily. A Traditional dish done well.

This restaurant serves mostly dishes such as Pad Thai, Curry, Chicken Satay, Pho, and Noodles. Thai Boat Noodle also offers popular Thai dishes like Papaya Salad, Laab, Pad Thai, and Crying Tiger. Be aware they do not serve alcoholic cocktails or have a bar but they offer popular Thai beverages like Thai tea and coffee. I ordered their chicken wings as an appetizer which had a crispy garlicky crunchy batter but I thought the wings were a little small for $13. The chicken wings were small almost like party wings. I was craving their traditional Boat Noodle made with rice noodles, green onions, cilantro, onions, soy sauce, beef blood, beef, and meatballs. Boat Noodle is a popular Thai street food soup known for its rich dark umami broth. Don't be hesitant about a splash of beef blood in the dish because it is meant to add depth and a rich/savory flavor and enhances the dish. I really loved the Boat Noodle dish but I honestly have had better. However, the Boat Noodle dish was still great with aromatics, a rich savory and satisfying broth, and plenty of noodles! The service was fast and friendly. I am hoping to try more dishes from Thai Boat Noodle but I wasn't completely impressed as I have had way better Thai food. However, if you are looking really quick and casual Thai food in a cafe with a laid back relaxed ambiance, Thai Boat Noodle is a good choice!

They can bump the heat up more, but I felt it had just the right amount of spice for me. The accompanying vegetables were very bright and fresh. All of the rice choices add just the right amount of flavor; my fav was the fried rice. I also liked that they have free refills on drinks. The have perfect-sized portions for all appetites.

My husband wanted Chinese food and we always spend too much time looking online for a place to go,…read moreas we haven't been to any Chinese restaurant, in our area, that we can rave about. We ended up ordering take out from the China Inn, after a nine-year absence. This establishment has not been my favorite place to order Chinese food, in years past, but I obliged my husband's request, as I didn't want it taking an hour to decide where to eat. I ordered my usual, chicken with snow peas, which also included bamboo shoots, carrots and celery. It comes with a darker sauce now, when years ago it came with a white sauce. I told my husband to ask if they could substitute the dark sauce, for white sauce, and to my surprise they honored my request. My husband ordered the Four seasons with shrimp, chicken, beef, roasted pork and broccoli. He ordered it extra spicy. The meal came with white rice. We also ordered pork eggs rolls, cream cheese rangoons and pork fried rice. I was pleasantly pleased with my dish, although the celery could have been stir-fried a bit longer, as it was very crunchy. The chicken was tender and moist and the peas, carrots and bamboo shoots were stir fried perfectly. My husband wasn't super thrilled with his dish as he ordered it extra spicy, but he stated it was bland, and it was lacking in shrimp. Now, knowing when my husband states food is not spicy, and I taste it, my mouth is burning, so who knows if it was spicy or not. I wasn't going to take a chance tasting his meal. The eggs rolls and crab rangoons were crispy and not greasy. The pork fried rice was also very good and much better tasting than years ago. I can't comment on the interior, as I didn't pick up the take out. I was very happy there was no issue with substituting the sauce that I wanted in my dish. I believe China Inn has changed owners a few times, and the food has improved quite a bit since 2016.

Service was fine, and the…read morerestaurant is definitely really cute--it's spacious and there's a nice open bar--but the food was a major disappointment. We ordered four dishes: the chicken satay and the sakoo yat sai for appetizers, and the mok pa and the praram long song for entrees. The satay was okay--four huge skewers of chicken drenched in a sweet sauce. The sauce was too sweet for my taste. The sakoo was mostly tapioca, wasn't able to taste the filling much. The mok pa had a strange bitter flavor, and the praram long song was basically a fried chicken thigh and sautéed vegetables. All the dishes were relatively devoid of flavor and every dish had some sort of peanut sauce to accompany it (probably to compensate for that lack of flavor). Portion sizes were decent for the price. The check ended up coming out to around $50/person without drinks. Overall, I got the impression that this is the type of restaurant that you go to for the ambience and not the food. I'd like to give this place another shot because the food is really visually appealing, but I think you can easily find better Thai food at a significantly lower price point.
