The food was OK. Nothing too amazing, but it is a solid spot for cheap eats. The broth was…read moredelicious, but it felt like it was missing something...I also wish that the dish came with more veggies / meat. It felt like most of the dish was just the noodles, and it was not balanced (ended up not finishing the noodles). Service is very straightforward. You order up front, and they deliver the food to you. After that, you put away your dishes/trash. Very standard noodle shop. Nothing too crazy. We came in at a pretty empty time (near 8pm), so service was not packed. It is a standard restaurant with standard seating options. Standard vibes only.

The texture of the noodle that's achieved by hand pulling cannot be replicated by a machine. This family run restaurant deserves your attention if you love authentic, tasty, and local food. There are many options: hot/cold; udon, rice, cut noodles if you don't want hand pulled; soup dumplings; baos; and more. We will be back for noodles and dumb for sure! This family restaurant will not disappoint if you're in the mood for noodles, or noodle soup.

China Star may be singular, but this place definitely deserves at least 4 stars (plural)…read more Bad jokes aside, this was some good Chinese food. I ordered the beef lo mein lunch special which totaled to less than $10! The lo mein was tasty and fresh, and not at all gooey or flavorless as other reviews warned. It came with fried rice which was cooked perfectly and an egg roll which was crunchy and piping hot! The woman who took my order was very nice and welcoming! The dining area is nothing special except for the seemingly endless storage of takeout boxes they store in the corner. This place is definitely designed for takeout, which is probably why I don't quite feel like they've earned the elusive 5th star. Nevertheless, they know what their good at, and they do it well. I hope to be back someday!

We ate Nani Restaurant's dinners on Monday. Their seafood hot and sour soup was one of the best hot and sour soups I have eaten outside of D.C. My wife enjoyed their General Tso Chicken and I enjoyed their Kung Pao Chicken dinner. Our only disappointment was the lack of fried rice. We chose takeout. Our dinners were ready when I arrived and the reception was great. We will return.

Food 4/5 Service 2.5/5…read moreAmbiance 3.5/5 Nani Restaurant is one of the only places in Madison for dim sum, which also means I have high expectations for it. The food itself isn't bad - I actually quite liked a lot of the flavors of the dishes I got. I think what truly brings this review down is the poor service I get. There aren't usually many people here, but service is always at a crawling pace - it takes forever to even get a water, and then a second eternity to place an order. Dim Sum is also renowned for its cart service - but I suppose only busier places have this luxury. Nani only has a paper menu that you can order from straight from the kitchen - by no means a poor experience, but a far cry from the true dim sum experience. Again, the food is actually quite nice, but the lack of quality service, somewhat empty atmosphere, and no cart service makes this place a far cry from a real dim sum experience.

Service was fast & friendly. Walk-in customer so had to…read morewait, but not too long. Ordered Beef With Peapods, Hot & Sour Soup, Pork Eggroll. Eggroll rice sticky, one pc pork, tasteless. Soup tasteless, not hot, not sour, no egg, no pork. Entree tasteless & beef over-tenderized. Had carrots, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts in it which I have never seen in this dish. Rice was so sticky it would not come out of the box easily or fall off the spoon onto my plate. Was looking forward to the reward of a good meal after a hugely stressful and demanding weekend. What a disappointment.

I like any of their chicken, pork or veggie dishes (not a beef eater so don't judge on that). Their pork fried rice is delicious to me as are some of their spicy chicken dishes. N.B. for the person who wrote they found feathers on their chicken? I can say that in well over 20 years or however long I have gone here I have never found any such thing! I alway do take out. Yes, there are tables and chairs but it's not truly set up for that ambiance wise.

I ordered a bowl of their vegan broth with additional veggies, added alongside the rice noodles and tofu. It was packed with broccoli, carrots, sprouts and basil. My sister ordered the chicken pho and was equally pleased. I loved seeing how they had their kids helping with the business and everyone was so friendly. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're in the Madison area. Bonus points for offering a vegan option.
