The injera wasn't as sour as I'd hoped (perhaps made with wheat flour? Not sure) and the coffee was just a french press, but these are MINOR quibbles about a very positive overall experience. I'll forgive minor issues if the service is good and the portions are appropriate, and this exceeded my expectations for both.

Food was smaller on the portions size (especially the Samsara), the taste of the meat was spectacular, and the injera (Ethiopian flatbread) was a miss for us (as well as the lentil salad). Overall highly recommend trying this place out once. Dolowot and other main entrees look solid enough!

YES dude. I swung by for lunch today and got a beef kebab wrap and a mango smoothie…read more Wrap: Delicious, rich and flavorful meat, with vegetables that were crisp and fresh (and refreshing on a hot day, despite it being a hot meal!). Came with this incredible sauce that wasn't exactly tzatziki but whatever it was, was magical. Smoothie: Perfect texture, complex (in the "there are so many ways this is good I can't just say 'sweet' sense) flavors. Would chug these all day if I could. They're making great use of the space, the service was very strong (friendly, prompt, all that). An excellent addition to the area, I'm eager to go back soon and check out other parts of the menu. The baked goods case beckons.

Went here to grab dinner on a week night when it was way to hot to cook. There was only one other…read moreperson there so it was easy to grab a table after we ordered at the counter. A very friendly person took our order and gave some recommendations on the menu. We ended up getting the grab and go shrimp spring rolls, a taro milk tea, and the lemongrass chicken bahn mi. The bahn mi was the star and quite large. It was easy to split between two people. The bread was the perfect texture and the pickled veg was standout. Only complaint is that it's always hard to get a bite with meat and veg. The milk tea was fine, but I did like that you could pick the sweetness. Probably would not get the shrimp spring rolls again. The sauce was nice and was also good with the bahn mi, but the seasoning on the shrimp and in the roll made it feel a little less fresh than we hoped. Overall, worth a try and I'd go back for the bahn mi. I also want to try their purple sticky rice and maybe one of the curry specials. Feels like a good addition to this side of town.

This is a great place for Vietnamese cuisine. They have a great selection of banh mi, pho, and…read moreother Vietnamese culinary delights. This is a large restaurant. They have a lot of seating. They have separate tables along the walls, and long tables down the center of the establishment. Thus, you should always be able to find a place to sit. The staff here are super nice. Very friendly! They're happy to help you with any decisions you need to make, or just to take your order in a rapid manner. This restaurant is located in a shopping area that has a very large parking lot. You should never have a problem finding a place to park. Overall, if you want some great Vietnamese influenced food, this is a great place to find it.

I usually get their yummy chicken pot pie or pizza pasty but I strongly recommend asking for whatever special they have that day! They typically don't have a dessert on but on this day they had an apple pie pasty. I don't know if I would get it again. The service is great even though there's typically only one person manning the entire place. It's also worth mentioning that it's extremely small and more of a carry out place. You can take your pasty to go and sit around the beautiful capitol square to enjoy it!

Recently we were in the UP of Michigan where pasties are king and we tried the traditional beef version - I was less than enamored with the somewhat bland hand-wich! I understand its origin as a miner's lunch food but that doesn't make it tasty. So we gave the Madison version a try and this time went for the breakfast version with cheese, egg and bacon. It was much better and had more flavor than a traditional beef pie. Still it was just OK. I now understand why they had packets of hot sauces, etc. on the counter. It is a relatively inexpensive meal and it is filling.... Just not my thing.

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!
