"We ordered (To Go) very late, around 10pm, but we were still accomodated. Food quality is still very good and delicious, well packed and customer service is fast. Bill is around $40 plus tip. The restaurant is clean and tables are well spaced, ambiance is really themed nicely. Well recommended and would visit again if visiting Madison."

"This little out of the way restaurant is amazing. Its tucked over in the corner and the sign is a little faded but the food is great and the prices were very reasonable. Realistically this place should have a crowd all the time. My wifes sushi rolls were gone before i could get a picture. Fried dumpling are amazing. Even my side of noodles was very tasty. Definitely addinf this place to my go to spots for excellent food. Two full meals with appetizers and extra sides and drinks was $45 total."
