    Interior
    Hermary G.

    The interior of this restaurant was soooo pretty. We started off with the scallion pancake and pork belly buns, and they were really good! The pork belly was a little dry though. We also got the chilly chili glass noodles, but we unfortunately did not like the flavor and the noodles weren't like the see-through glass noodles we expected. The potstickers were really flavorful, but I felt like the crust was too fried and burnt. The star of the show is definitely the xiao long bao! Awesome soup, flavorful meat. We got the fried sesame balls with nutella for dessert and while it was really good, there wasn't enough red bean paste inside. The service was really fast though and our server was extremely patient!

    I'm always excited to try restaurants on Willy St. in Madison, known for its trendy and international food, so when we decided to go to Feast I had optimism for a good meal. We made reservations online, and were promptly seated when we arrived. Although the restaurant was not full, we were seated in a fairly full section (I assume due to staffing). But our server was nice and attentive. They were out of many of the items on the menu, but fortunately for us none of the ones I wanted were nixed. One of the down sides of their soup dumplings is that they're all meat based. We weren't the only table to ask. But for most people this isn't a consideration. We ordered a cocktail and a green tea. The tea was very good and came in a fun pot. Much of the food was good, although the tofu options were basically the same thing across multiple dishes (not a lot of variety). We ordered four dishes to share: vegetable spring rolls (which were big and good), scallion pancakes (which were very small and didn't taste of scallion at all), tofu buns (which were tasty but buns were over-steamed and soggy), and veggie potstickers. In the end it was a good dining experience.

    We came here for a couple appetizers and loved the food! It was an early Saturday evening when we walked in and we didn't have a reservation. When we were greeted they said if we didn't have a reservation they couldn't seat us (even though there were many open tables) but we could sit at the bar. I was surprised by this but we had a lot of fun just sitting up at the bar. We each had a beer and then enjoyed the Tofu Buns and the Peas, Corn & Carrot Potstickers. I appreciated how they spaced out our 2 appetizers instead of bringing them both at once. The Tofu Buns are my new faves. The veggies were incredibly fresh and crunchy and the bun was puffy and delicious. We also really enjoyed the potstickers, it was my first time having pan-fried potstickers and I loved them. The staff was friendly and the space had a great vibe. It looked like they had a small patio seating space we want to try next time. We will be back for a full meal next time and will be sure to make a reservation.

    Beef with cilantro dumplings

    I dined in on a Saturday evening. The place was not super busy. I went with some of the crowd favotites. Black truffle Xiao long bao is probably my favorite item here. This dish is a very tough to make item. And it is not as good as the ones I used to have in NYC. But this is the best I had in Madison. It was well made, flavorful and had enough soup inside. Pork belly buns was another excellent item. Beef and cilantro dumpling was flavorful. It was interesting visually, because it was all dumplings sticking together and fried together. One breaks it apart to eat.

    These guys served me the second best meal I've had in Madison. Everything was incredible. We ordered 3 different kinds of soup dumplings, a cucumber salad, pot stickers, pork belly bao buns and a poke bowl. Each item equally delicious and delightful. Service was good and the atmosphere, perfect. 10/10 would recommend. Great work guys!

    Feast is one of my favorite restaurants in Madison, and the food here never misses! I do wish they had a vegetarian or pescatarian option for the xiao long bao, but besides that the menu is incredible & there are SO many fantastic food & drink options. The scallion pancakes may be the best I've had & I love their crab Rangoon. The veggie potstickers I had were also very good, and I've loved the fish bao that they've had in the past. The dragonfruit tea is delicious as well. The atmosphere in the restaurant is always gorgeous. I will say that the service that I had the last time I ate here wasn't outstanding. Our server did not refill our waters at all or check in about how the food was, and they weren't particularly friendly. I often recommend this restaurant to friends and family, so it was disappointing that the service was so inattentive. Beyond that, I love Feast & would highly recommend it if you're looking for a delicious meal!

    Spacious with indoor/outdoor seating. Parking can be a hassle. Red used as main colors with accents. Soothing music playing. Have been eyeing this place for a while but have only been in the area to get bread so this restaurant was always closed. Well, I was in a hospital in Madison and released around the lunch hour so asked to be taken here for lunch. We were not disappointed. First tried the steamed buns with pork belly. My husband said he could just order a few of those for a whole meal. We got an appetizer of 2. They were delicious. I ordered dumplings with pork and sauerkraut. I got a weird look from my husband but I like to try new things. They were actually pretty good with just a hint of the sauerkraut. The dipping sauces were tasty too. My husband ordered wontons, which were tasty also. We had a doggie bag with 1/2 the dumplings and wontons left for another meal at home. I also had a peach green tea I enjoyed. So many good restaurants around but we will want to go back to this one again.

    Looking for yummy dumplings in Madison? FEAST is the spot to check out! We started with scallion pancakes, which were flaky, fluffy, and flavorful. The crab rangoon were delicious, with the perfect portion of stuffing. But my favorites were the fried fish balls, which were divine little bites - I highly recommend these!! In terms of dumplings, we had: pork, shrimp, and chive; pork, scallop, and chive; seafood dumplings; and the veggie dumplings. By far, my favorites were the pork and scallop, as well as the seafood dumplings. But really none of them disappointed! To drink, there was a long list of teas to choose from, but I ended up selecting a drink similar to a lychee martini. The modern Asian-inspired instrumental music in the background created a hip environment. Seating was comfortable and the pillows on the booths were a nice touch. Service was somewhat unremarkable. I look forward to coming back!

    Pork belly buns and soup dumplings, and spicy wontons are must try dishes. Green scallion cakes, Shrimp and scallop Shao Mi, Big Frog Tofu poke bowl all hit the spot as well. Everyone loved this joint. We parked nearby at IO Arcade Lot. Coming back for sure

    Beef and Onion steamed dumplings
    Gabby N.

    One of our favorite spots in Madison, with delicious food and beautiful ambiance. Be ready to order family style and to try many different dumplings/shumai. The scallion pancakes and spicy edamame are delicious appetizers to start with, and the drinks are strong and worth the price. We've never had to wait for a table, even when dining in on a busy weekend night.

    Is it possible we ordered too much food? Yes, and also no. Our group ended up splitting 5 appetizers: Spicy garlic edamame - fantastic flavor, 9/10 Scallion pancakes - delicious and crunchy, a tad greasy, 8.5/10 Crab rangoon - ok, nothing special (don't hate me), 6/10 Fried fish balls - phenomenal (and my personal favorite), 10/10 Pork belly buns - amazing + pillowy buns, 10/10 We also tried the beef and onion dumplings (pan-fried) and the pork and shrimp dumplings (pan-fried) - both dishes were prepared well. Overall, the service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and we all left very full and satisfied! p.s. there is a cute little outdoor patio, and our waiter let us know that occasionally there is live music

    4 stars for the food but 5 stars for the overall experience. I brought my wife for a dinner date. The decor set the tone of the meal nicely with lots of blacks and reds studded with various Chinese artwork. There was plenty of seating on a Sunday night and our waiter checked in on us frequently. Their tea list had a variety of choices ranging from earl gray to green tea to some complex herbal blends. Each tea came with a paragraph's worth of description and a rating of the caffeine content form high to low. We started off with a pot of jasmine green tea served in a black ceramic pot, with instructions to steep for 4 minutes. Without using too many flowery tea descriptors (pun intended as it was nice and floral), the tea was tangibly superior to the standard green tea that you can get at most Chinese restaurants. For starters, we ordered the garlic edamame and vegetable spring rolls. The edamame was absolutely smothered in savory cooked garlic. The spring rolls were crisp, drizzled in sweet chili sauce and stuffed full of mushrooms. For our dumpling course, we ordered the rice shu mai, traditional three-ingredient dumplings, and vegan dumplings. The shu mai was completely different than any other I'd had; instead of a ground pork and shrimp meatball, they were filled with rice and mushrooms, steamed and served with garlic chili sauce and hoisin sauce. They were a fun novelty but were messy to eat as the rice spilled out of the dumpling wrapper easily, and weren't as savory as the standard variety. We ordered the other dumplings pan-fried. The three ingredient traditional dumplings contained pork, shrimp, and chives. They were good, not great, but better than the large majority of dumplings that I've had in the Midwest. The vegan dumplings contained corn, carrot, and peas, and tasted as you would expect with just those three ingredients. For dessert, we had matcha tiramisu. The spongy cake was soaked in tea instead of coffee, with matcha powder sprinkled on top. I thought this was a really clever twist on a classic dessert and it was executed well. We left happy and full. We could have done with maybe one less appetizer, but that still means it would have taken about 3 orders of dumplings, an appetizer, and a dessert to leave full. The cost for the meal was about $60 before tax and tip; a little higher than your average dinner out in Madison, but for the experience overall it was worth it. This is the kind of establishment that puts attention into the small details. We will be back.

We were a little disappointed in the wait because there were some empty tables around, which showed that Merchant was not extremely slammed, but we wanted to give benefit of the doubt. Fried Cheese Curds tasted alright. We probably got the unlucky batch though, because halfway through eating them, we had dime-sized cheese curds. It certainly didn't feel like we got a full appetizer size of cheese curds because of this. I think typically the smaller cheese curds are at the end of the dish, but here it felt like we had it for 50% of the dish. The Merchant Burger was alright, but nothing to wow my senses. The black pepper aioli was delicious though, but it felt like that was what was saving the burger. Not pictured was the Floral G&T drink, which tasted delicious. Overall: giving this place 3 stars because it wasn't amazing, but it was OK. The interior is beautiful though, but food and service were below our expectations.

You can opt for a small tasting pour or more of a traditional pour. At the end of the night you return your wine card and pay for whatever you had. I have heard of this type of wine bar before but hadn't tried it yet. It's brilliant! Everyone enjoyed their drinks and it was fun to try some new wines and whiskeys.

You also can't beat the price of $2.25 for a good cookie. My only other complaint would be the limited seating. The workers here also try to provide table service and bring your sandwich out to you if you do dine-in. However, there isn't a system for them to find you at the table easily and they are just wandering around looking for you by name. Having a little table # placard would benefit the staff here.
