"I was excited about a new Chinese restaurant in town! Madison is seriously lacking good Asian food from across the continent. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t what I was hoping for but most of it is my personal preference. The menu is small which is usually a good thing. Overall, I found the menu lacked vegetarian and GF options and what I tried was bland. I loved the green beans and wish that had been an option for a main. The Dan dan noodle was fine. I think more bok choy or vegetable again would have been better. I thought the scallion pancake was dry and thin. I have eaten scallion pancakes at a lot of places and these had very little scallion and no sauce. The spring rolls lacked flavor and texture in my opinion. The restaurant has no vegetarian mains and is quite meat heavy overall which once again is fine if that isn’t their style but limiting for people. There are very limited gluten free items as well which was a shame for my mom but she enjoyed her braised pork rice bowl. While the tipping policy did not affect me, I did find it unprofessional to have three potential tipping scenarios “that may affect you” but did not make a definitive guideline which makes it seem quite subjective. I understand requiring tips for large parties but it should be clearly defined when those gratuity charges are added so they aren’t a surprise."
"Really nice addition to Madison’s Asian food scene! The Dan Dan noodles are unlike anything you can get in Madison; it’s spicy but well balanced! Everything we tried on the menu was delicious and the service was friendly and professional! They do seem a bit short staffed though, as they are open for limited hours."
"******Decided to write an update to my initial comments after google map notified me that people are reacting to my review all of sudden. ****** I was fairly surprised to see the extensiveness of the defensive reply from the owner. I feel bullied somehow. But I still hold firm that the tomato beef noodle soup, the only item I tried, did not meet my expectation for $20 price tag, and my comments were consistent with others who commented on this particular menu item. 1. Yes, I "only spent 29.54 + tips" as the owner said. It feels to me that in the owner's mind, I am not eligible to comment since I didn't spend hundreds. To be fair to the owner, I didn't try other items. But I was just comment on my experience about the particular item I did try. I do not see any problem with it, or it has anything to do with how much I spend. 2. Yes, I am ethic Chinese. But to any business, I am FIRST a paying customer, my ethnic or country of origin shouldn't be mentioned or exploited to influence rating. 3. The owner left my name in multiple comments, I assume it was obtained from the credit card receipt alongside with the $amount I spent. The name-calling fashion of responding to customer's negative experience is a serious violation of privacy. Federal law protects consumers’ private information from being disclosed on credit and debit card receipts under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA). Pursuant to FACTA, merchants are not permitted to disclose any part of info of the transaction. As a business owner, please be aware your action was unlawful. You have a great restaurant with good ratings and customer base in a mid-west college town. It is beyond comprehensible to me regarding how defensive/combative you are towards feedback, and actively trashing negative comments. Your way of reacting leaves potential customers a bad perception. Not that it will matter but reducing my rating to 1 star from 2, based on how the owner's interaction with customer ****************************************************************** The $20 tomato beef soup noodle is quite a disappointment. Too bad I didn’t take a photo of it, but I think google maps housed enough photo of this particular item already. Here are my thoughts - the soup base was generic, the tomato chunks were added as a afterthought (probably shared the soup base with beef noodle soup). The tomato was likely canned tomato, without much flavor or texture. Four slices of beef, that’s it. If you ever order that in Boston or Chicago or any major city’s Chinese restaurants, you’ll get many big chunks of stewed beef. Especially at 20-buck range. The Bok Choy- the veggie should be there to serve as a contrast of color- green vs. red tomato soup base. You won’t see any leaf, just chopped up bottoms of bok choy stem. Where is the leaf? If you don’t know what I mean, simply search “tomato beef noodle soup” in google image and pick any one to compare with theirs. I have to say the service is good, the ambience and decor was great. The chef should be replaced, and some serious thoughts of dish presentation should be given. Especially charging at high end pricing. Therefore, my 2-star rating - mismatched food quality and price tag."
"A friend recommended this and we decided to try it spur of the moment - and what an excellent decision. Everyone was so kind and nice. The cocktails were delicious- a bit strong but that’s a good thing! We started with pot stickers which were surprisingly crispy and full of flavor. I had the Dan Dan Noodles which I was told were were spicy - which they were! But in a good way. By the bottom of the bowl I was craving the spice. My husband got the Braised Pork rice which was amazing as well. I really appreciate the kindness and service here. I cannot wait to return!"
"We had an incredible dinner at Hutong's dog-friendly patio! All of the dishes we ordered were authentic and delicious. My favorites were lamb skewers and fried oysters! The cold noodles were great also, but I was too full to enjoy the last few bites. I loved the house cocktails and was surprised by the creative addition of Baijiu. BuriBuri 不理不理左卫门 (my 3-year old malamute) felt weak from lack of meat skewers and fried chicken :)"
