Found this delightful Asian restaurant quite by happenstance. Quaint, nicely decorated, and a friendly, informative staff.
A limited menu but not complaining. Everything was beautifully seasoned and flavorful. Definitely recommend.

I was excited about a new Chinese restaurant in town! Madison is seriously lacking good Asian food from across the continent. Unfortunately, the food wasnt 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 isnt 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 arent a surprise.
Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options

One of the absolute best restaurants in Madison, such a gem. Everything on the menu is spectacular, you cant go wrong! The Dan Dan noodles are EXQUISITE.

I love this place. The food is excellent and represents a region of China that you rarely see restaurants specializing in. My friend and I ordered green beans, chili popcorn chicken, salt and pepper squid, and dan dan noodles. They nailed every dish. Very tasty and reasonably priced! Also the patio out back is so charming and cute.
