The food price and portions were excellent. The missing star is for the wait time for a table and bathrooms. A single toilet each, male and female. This place gets super busy. We got there before the rush and still waited 30mins for a table. However, during the rush, it's probably an hour wait.

EVERYTHING TASTES DIFFERENT after the original owners sold the business.

The food is consistently delicious and the wait is consistently long. Without fail you will have to wait an hour from when your order is submitted.

I visited Ha Long Bay for the Pho. I have to share with readers that I was a little disappointed. My table surface was not clean or prepped. My bowls for the Pho were dirty. I approached a waitress, and she was shocked. A waiter then did his best to rectify the situation twice! The rice was dry or a day old. You can ask the staff to SPLIT a big bowl of Pho for two, however!

Arrived for dinner on Monday evening, it was busy but I was seated quickly. I had a glass of red wine and ginger tea and split the Pad Peg red curry with chicken and drunken noodles with beef with a friend. I was impressed with the dimensions of spices and flavors with both dishes. Service was excellent.

So, I'm a Madison tourist who lives in Chicago and I'd heard about this place from a couple of websites ("Best Restaurants in Madison" lists, "Things to do in Madison" videos)--and it's completely justified! Delicious and amazing! Probably the best Tom Kha I've ever had and my server was so sweet and helpful--can't wait to go back!

Delicious Thai and Vietnamese food! This place has stayed consistent throughout my years in Madison. There is usually a wait for dine in and take out (for good reason).

Best thai I have had outside thailand. My sons favorite place in the world. We go for his birthday every year. Can't say enough about this place , only complaint would be that they are so busy - they should expand....

FINAL EDIT: I love this place. Four people can each eat an entree and 2 apps and it’s about $80. And you always leave with leftovers! PHENOMENAL!!This restaurant gets so much hype but it’s not that great. Went on Saturday and had to wait 75+ minutes! Got seated and then our apps came really fast but had to wait 30+ minutes for our entrées. Not superb service. Overly crowded place too, no room for private talks. The sesame chicken was just like General Tso’s chicken at a generic place, so not great. The pho is always good though!! And the crab Rangoon and curry puffs are good too.Edit: this place has GREAT food if you know what to order— always get Pad Thai and pho ph7, and the veggie curry app!! 4 stars because the wait is too damn long, especially on weekends (but basically there’s always a wait)!

The Pho is the worst bowl of Pho in my life. Pad Thai was also horrible. Our Beef stew was also tasteless. The only dish we like was extras go with lunch

Have been coming here my whole life, and I love the food. Never had a bad experience, until this morning. Just wanted to let everyone know that I have extreme food poisoning that lasted all day from their food. I am still not over this sickness and it’s 9 pm. I would be weary for a few days until they get rid of that batch of bad chicken or rice.

Food is always amazing! Service has been hit and miss. We've had our drinks forgotten a few times during busy hours. Also, it gets very noisy and can be cramped while waiting for a table. But the food keeps bringing us back.
