I went with a small group, and although the place was packed the wood ceilings and dim lights help to foster an intimate and cozy aesthetic! For start we ordered two delicious appetizers (see photos below) and drinks! The drink menu was especially interesting offering several cocktails that I've never seen before! My cocktail, for example, included popping boba! Our entrees were flavorful! The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, giving recommendations and insights when asked. Overall this is a great addition to Madison, and I can't wait to go back!

We didn't play any of the games here, but we noticed they sold bubble tea, so we decided to order…read moresome drinks. When I arrived, there was only one person waiting for an order, so I was able to place mine right away. However, it ended up taking quite a while for the drinks to be prepared. We had also ordered a whole pizza from Ian's Pizza, and we received and finished the pizza before our drinks were ready. In fact, I didn't get the notification that the drinks were ready until after we were done eating. The drinks themselves were good, but the wait time was surprisingly long, especially considering how few people appeared to be waiting. When I picked up my order, the customer who had been waiting before me was still there as well. Overall, I enjoyed the bubble tea, but I would be prepared for a potentially long wait.

Listen, Roll Play has a pretty good Taro boba. However after being around for a couple years it…read morestill seems they are struggling. When they use the cup sealer it's not sealed properly, sometimes it's got two of the seals, sometimes it's just not sealed on all the way. And then if that's okay well then the straw is too small so every boba bit gets stuck. Oh man but if those two are okay then it's the boba pearls itself. Ahh. Boba is not a new concept for me, I've had my fair share but when the boba is so over cooked that some of it seems to be melted and that as you sip the slush you are also accidentally swallowing the pearls because they're so soft, small, and mushy that you can't even feel it in your mouth until its too late. Completely different from someone swallowing a boba pearl that is firm and round where the moment it enters your mouth and is no longer in the straw you are aware. And because the pearls are so warm, it melts the bottom of your slush. Sure you can swirl it around but it'll still melt the nearby slush. It shouldn't be too warm or borderline hot. If I wanted milk tea I would've just ordered that. And then, on top of all that if if IF all that seems to be fine. It's the wait time. It seems like it takes so long to get your drink if there's people ordering food. Like if you go in and it's a board game meet up, good luck. It's gonna be a half hour for 2 slushy drinks. If they cannot work under the pressure of having to serve their whole space full of people in a board game meet up group, then just say it's for a private event or something. You don't even wait that long at bubbling teapot if you're getting drinks when the nearby schools have just gotten out. Honestly so ridiculous, and I forgot to mention that the taro flavor varies. Sometimes it's good like something you'd get in the PNW and sometimes it's a hint of taro, sometimes it tastes like a mouth full of powder. I'll give it 2 stars because when it's good it's good, but when is it good? Hmm well not when they're in a rush so get there right when they open IF they open on time?

I LOVE THE GLOBE so much!!

When I say I've had the mango coconut curry 20 times. That is an understatement! I've had it more and I always get it because it's that good and flavorful. The staff there is so nice and I enjoy talking with them when I'm ordering and it's nice to see familiar faces when I'm back in town visiting. The ambiance of the restaurant is a cozy "hole in the wall" in the BEST way. It can get crowded if you go at a busy time so plan ahead (like go a little early or on a weeknight) and ENJOY! I can't recommend The Globe enough.

We came here after a recommendation online while visiting UW Madison. It was a small interior with…read morea couple tables and a couple tables outside as well. The menu was very diverse and had options from all around Asia. The food ended up being absolutely stellar. We ordered the butter chicken, Afghan Korma, garlic naan, and mango lassi. Everything was great and game out quick. The workers were friendly and asked questions about which dishes we liked. If you are in the area and are wanting asian food this is definitely the place!

Everything we tried was delicious and full of flavor. The service was also very good--the lady came back to check on us, which we really appreciated. The only downside was that the table for two was very small, and we barely had enough space for our dishes. That said, we would definitely come back the next time we're in town.

The food goes great with jasmine green tea for a chilly night and looking to get a little caffeine bump. My friend's pineapple rice looked great too. Portions are a good size, I had leftovers even though I was so hungry. Definitely ample portion for one person and can potentially share with two persons. Small and cute. I found this place to buys around dinner time. Parking is street neighborhood parking that was not hard to find a spot for. I would definitely come back!

Got dinner with a group of 6 on a weeknight. We made a reservation online so seating was a breeze…read more I was really happy to see a variety of vegetarian and chicken dishes on the menu, since I don't eat red meat. We shared several dishes which were all good, but these were the most memorable for me: - Chicken wontons in spicy sauce: wonton filling was seasoned well and the sauce was actually spicy. Most chicken dumplings, wontons, xiao long bao, etc I've tried are under-seasoned so I was very pleasantly surprised. Even more so that the sauce was actually spicy. I love spicy food so it was perfect for me - spicy enough to numb your tongue a little bit but not so spicy it takes over the other flavors. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who can't tolerate spice. - Tofu buns: buns were nice and soft, and tofu was sauced / seasoned well. Again, very happy about that because I've been the victim of too many under-seasoned vegetarian menu items. - Red Revolution cocktail: I'm not a big drinker and prefer cocktails that don't taste super strong. This was delicious but definitely a bit stronger than I'm used to lol. So great value for the money but wouldn't recommend if you have a low alcohol tolerance. Our server was also great, they checked in on us often but not so often that we felt rushed. Would love to come back next time I'm in the area!

I ordered the new Sesame Chopped Salad with mixed greens, shredded kale, purple cabbage, carrot, cucumber, edamame, red onion, cilantro, creamy ponzu, sesame ginger vinaigrette, crushed wonton chips, almonds, scallions, sesame seeds, I added roasted chicken and avocado for protein. The salad was incredibly fresh and made to order. I especially loved the crushed wonton chips--they added the perfect crunch! This was the first time my friend and I visited @freshfinpoke, and the staff was so helpful in guiding us through our orders. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Some of my favorites are the mango curry, mung bean curry, and Indo mac. They have a really good vegan selection. I also love to buy their blocks of tempeh for my own cooking. Something I want to call out is how thoughtfully they pack to-go orders. Everything seems to be recyclable or compostable. Everything is labeled, the soup containers are taped on the side so they don't spill, and they put a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the bag to keep everything upright. These are little things that show me how much care they put into their food/dining experience and I wanted to highlight them!

We ordered 3 entrees to share amongst 3 people- "medium" spice level- and each was perfect! We even had extra to take home. My favorite was the tempeh. I didn't know how much potatoes are used in Indonesian cooking. This Irish girl appreciated that! Each of the 3 dishes included potatoes in some way and each were different and delicious. Cocktails: I ordered the Long Island Thai Tea and it was too strong for me so a friend drank it, and said it was awesome, and I happily returned to Diet Pepsi. I'm not really a drinker. It looks like there is a performance space next to the dining room, so I'm guessing there might be music or karaoke nights here? I'm totally going to check out that option as that would be a blast. Looooooooved everything about Bandung and I'll be back. Often!!
