Tai's Asian Bistro 638 South Whitney Way, Madison, WI 53711

"Very friendly service and super fast food. Lots of indoor seating and the restaurant is very clean. I enjoyed eating off of real plates with real silverware. The portions were big, so we needed takeout containers. I was bummed to see horrible styrofoam offered, but glad to see that a regular more reusable plastic container was also available. Food was made well, but very mild"

"I regret not taking a photo of our food, it was prepared fresh and hot and was so appetizing and delicious we just couldn't pause to take a picture of it. We got the "Dinner Special" which comes with the entree, fried rice, and an eggroll. A large meal for sure, we took at least half of ours home with us. I had the Bourbon Chicken, which I highly recommend, but the extensive menu offers many other tempting dishes that I am looking forward to trying. Order at the counter, find a seat at a table, and they will call you back up to the counter when your order is ready. Steady take-out business going on as well while we were there."

"I absolutely loved this place!!! Everyone was so nice and friendly and the food was amazing!!! I ordered the beed pho, mango smoothie and steamed dumplings. Its was so much food i couldnt even eat it all."

"This place is great! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food was ready quickly and tastes great! Boba tea is one of the best I've had! Atmosphere only gets 4 stars because the TV was showing an infomercial the whole time we were there, but otherwise it's great!"

"I'd never been to this place before, so I didn't know what to expect. Ordered three dishes, honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, and Mushroom beef for dine-in. All were amazing. The portion sizes were huge, and that's never a bad thing. Ordered the original boba tea too, which was amazing too. The boba were squishy, and the tea had great flavor. Best I've ever had in Madison, for sure. Violin and piano music is a bit off-key sometimes, but that's okay, just a personal preference. Unfortunately, their pad thai is beyond depressing. I took it to go. It looks nothing like the picture. I don't know what it is about Madison, but I feel like good pad thais are very rare. This particular violation came from the fact that it didn't match the picture on the menu (see attached images). It contains cilantro, lemon (????), and cabbage. The cabbage is especially weird. The picture shows carrot cut into bean sprouts, and lime, which is how pad thai normally is. Genuinely don't know if I can eat the pad thai or should I just toss it in the garbage. Overall, a positive experience, but the pad thai made it a four star instead of a five star. Had I not ordered that, I would've rated it five for sure. Will come back again; while it is expensive, the flavors and portion sizes make it worth it.
