“Fantastic service by Mathias, it’s not very often that I give a 25% tip but he truly deserved it. Food was so delish, fast, and fresh! Highly recommend the Spicy garlic edamame and pork buns to start. We had the lobster dumplings which were equally as delicious. We will be back.“

“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!“

“The peanut butter chicken and General Tso's Chicken were outstanding. The beef and broccoli was okay. Massive amount of food for the money. The young lady that appears to run the place was so nice. The place was pretty busy with a steady stream of customers, yet service was basically immediate. I was kinda inebriated and looked kinda scruffy, but she still treated me very well. Also, she was right out there to wipe off the table next to me as soon as the guy eating there finished. Will be back soon!“

“Some of the comments are petty and unnecessarily harsh. This restaurant is one of the few bastions of authentic Chinese food in the Madison area. I order from Nani's frequently and have never had an issue. I was really impressed by their dim sum offerings- definitely the largest and best quality in Wisconsin. I had been craving preserved egg congee and couldn't find it anywhere else. They have soup with fish air bladder which I have also never seen in Madison. If you nitpick about not having a three star Michelin experience, you don't have realistic expectations. Complaining about rising prices and "smaller portions"? The cost of raw ingredients doesn't stay the same forever! If you've ever been to SF, things are twice the price and half the volume. These prices are totally reasonable- The restaurant is just trying to get by. People are so short sighted- Before you leave a harsh review complaining about the "ambiance" in a casual family run restaurant, maybe think about the consequences. If you don't support restaurants in your community then they will go away. Remember not to complain when there are no decent Chinese food options left.“

“Just tried Unami Ramen for the first time! It is located on Williamson St, across from Feast. There is street parking available, but they also have their own little lot. We came during happy hour in order to try some half off saketinis! We had the lychee, snow pear, and hanami blossom. The lychee was our favorite. For an appetizer we tried the spicy tofu buns. They were good, but we wished they were filled more. The one piece of tofu felt a little skimpy. For ramen we tried the pork tonkotsu and the vegetarian tonkotsu. I was really amazed at how rich and flavorful the vegetarian one was! I feel like most ramen places aren't able to mimic the richness of a meat broth with their vegetarian options, so I was quite impressed!! Our server was also nice so overall a great experience.“

“I hadn't eaten all day and was craving some Chinese food. Walked the 4 minutes from my house to here, ordered the sweet and sour chicken combo, and everything was out in less than 10 minutes. They carefully put my food in a bag and offered extra condiments. Rice was flavorful and has a good mix of veggies. Chicken was crispy, and the eggroll was really good, and I usually hate eggrolls. I am very happy to live next to this and will definitely be coming here more often now.“

“I almost want to gatekeep this place but I’m shocked at how little reviews this place has. I always come to global food market JUST for the brisket rice noodle soup (#20, $12.95) and the occasional mango sago ($3.95)!!!! I’ve ordered the same dish at least 6 times. The meat portion is on another level, ingredients are so fresh and broth is so hearty and well seasoned. When first served it doesn’t look like much because there’s just so much broth but the bowl is huge. Delicious flat rice noodles and bok choy.I forgot to take a picture of the before but here is the after. ?“

“Stopped by here for a quick bite. The service was really fast and we were greeted and seated almost immediately.The place has nothing special to it decor-wise. Wouldn't say it's a fancy place or anything. Most of the other patrons seemed to be college students. I was there with some old college friends and family. Great atmosphere to just catch up over food.The menu seemed to have more authentic Chinese food rather than focus on the Americanized things like Crab ragoons and orange chicken. They had bull frogs, duck, and other options. Very nice selection. And very fairly priced.I had the Mongolian beef. We also got country style pork and beef fried rice. All were generously portioned enough to share. The food tasted great and I will definitely be going back.OverallIf you're looking for good Chinese food location, this is a great spot. Beware their food isn't exactly like the typical Chinese-American restaurant (but they do have those options too). Not a place that would impress a date on the first night. But definitely would be great to go with friends. Only down side was we never got water refills.“

Usually Lo Mein or Fried Rice at other spots is dry and hard to consume but not at this location, perfectly seasoned and doesn't need additional sauces at all. Love their special spicy chili oil they have. Also have 2 adorable kids! Order from their actual website and you can use many coupons they offer. Free General Tsos Entree with $40 purchase!“

I do wish that they included a drink in with their meal since the place is just a little pricy. The atmosphere inside is pretty friendly and is a great spot to chill out and take a break. Overall its a fantastic place, just really wish they charged a tad bit less or included a drink.“

“This 3.5 star small restaurant deserves at least 4.5 stars. The people are friendly and the food is amazing in flavor. I typically don't like any sort of soup that's not ramen or lo mein, but the beef haus noodle soup was packed with flavor and the beef was sooo tender! I also ordered chicken steamed dumplings and shrimp dumplings, and both were so delectable to eat. I'll admit, i came by myself, so I ordered a lot, yet I have never been happier to go home with a box full of left overs. I can't wait to eat this meal again tonight and in the future! 110% will come here again and bring friends!“
