Steamed - Madison

I loved the vegan steamed buns at this restaurant! I wish there was a location closer to where I live. It would be great if they could offer a plain or tofu-only version for people like my wife who didn't enjoy the flavors. I rate the food 5 out of 5, service 4 out of 5, and atmosphere 4 out of 5.

I have been working in Madison for the summer and recently had the chance to try out this restaurant. We opted for take-out and I was pleasantly surprised. Coming in with somewhat low expectations, as I have had amazing dim sum in Hawaii, I was impressed with the food we ordered on this visit. My favorite dish so far has been the Chengdu dumplings, as the sauce was incredibly flavorful. The cold noodles were also a standout for me. On our second visit, we decided to dine in despite the crowded restaurant. Since we were so hungry, we ended up taking the food back to our cabin. Once again, we ordered the same items and were pleased with the wonderful flavors. Each type of dumpling had its own unique taste, contradicting other reviews claiming everything tasted the same. The staff was friendly, and although it seemed like there was only one server working, she managed to be polite despite being very busy. I have two more weeks in Madison and hope to dine in at the restaurant at least once more before I leave.

I was very impressed during my first visit to this restaurant. The dumplings were delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend it.

The only good thing at this restaurant was the bubble tea. Unfortunately, the dumplings and sticky rice were disappointing. The service was average. Overall, I would rate the food a 1 and the service a 2 out of 5.
