The only hard part was choosing which toppings to get since there was such a big variety to choose from. I got a small poke bowl with half sushi rice and half spring mix, 1 scoop spicy tuna, mango, scallions, imitation crab, jalapeno, red onions, sesame seeds, chili powder, spicy mayo, and poke sauce. It was decently spicy, and the perfect portion for someone who can't usually finish a bigger poke bowl like myself. I need more shops in California to offer smaller bowls like this lol. Everything tasted fresh and the mango was properly ripe, plus it was very affordable. We took our food to go, but there was also a little bit of seating inside for anyone who wanted to stay and eat. Definitely recommend!

Great little spot! This is my best friend's go to, so she took me here for a casual bite while I…read morewas in town visiting.

Crawfish/crayfish/crowdads were flavorable too. It's definitely a new amosphere to have in Madison. I was excited too see how well this establishment compares to Kpot. Kpot is great, love it but this place, just as almost. Only downside is that, during the time when i went, they didn't have tablets for placing orders for each table. It's not a dealbreaker but I do think that would have been better. Customers won't have to wait for their waiter/waitress to come back to the table everytime and place orders. Also keeps the customers from going at their own pace and essentially this could mean leaving sooner and being able to get more customers to seat.

Use to love the Korill Hut Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. We had eaten there many times before but the last…read moretime we went with a huge family group, my son had eaten literally 2-3 fries from the sauce bar area and was just tired and fell asleep at the table as we ate. Waitress even asked how he was doing and I informed her that he was probably tired from school. When the check came I asked if we could just pay for an appetizer or something since my son didn't eat any of the Korean BBQ. Just a couple of fries and she said it was store policy to still charge him a full dinner buffet. The food is all right and all. I wouldn't say it's amazing by any stretch but the experience of getting charged a full meal when the waitress clearly acknowledged my sleeping child really soured me to this place. The sad part was I would have been more willing to give her a larger tip for being accommodating but I guess policy is policy. Policy is also what lost you a returning customer.

They were sold out of a couple of entrees towards the end of the day on a Sunday but there were plenty other meals that were available. I tired the BBQ rice plate with lumpia and for dessert the halo halo. It hit the spot, the BBQ pork was well seasoned. It's sweet and juicy! There was one piece that was all fast but everything else had meat in it! Wait time was reasonable and so was the price. I'd love to try the rest Of their other meals. The Halo halo was good, it had shaved ice with sweet canned fruits topped with Ube ice cream and leche flan. Nice dessert after the entree , or you can eat it at the same as your entree if you want.

Came to try their food after hearing that it is tasty. I had the adobo pork belly in bowl. It comes…read morewith 2 pork lumpia. Simple dish. Pork belly served over white rice. Lumpia came with sauce. First the good parts. Lumpia is nice and crispy. You get 2 with a bowl or get 4 for 6.99 as appetizer. Pork belly is soft enough and very tasty. The bad parts are the lumpia filling is too little for the amount of wrap used. The end result is a thick dough ring around the fillings. The amount of pork is too small for me a $14 dish where the bulk is be white rice. Since I'm prediabetic, I had to skip the rice. Some sort of vegetables and half the rice would have rounded this dish and make in it better. Not enough value in my mind. If you like to tasty pork belly with a lot of rice, try this place.

Only three other people were showed up during the hour or so we were there - perhaps it gets a later crowd. The bartender/cook greeted us and got us menus. As others have mentioned the small space is done in a fun and funky decor. My wife ordered one of their happy hour specialty drinks which she liked alot - it was sort of an alcoholic Asian Arnold Palmer. I opted for an Asahi beer. The food menu is super small maybe five or six items total. We got the summer rolls (their version of a fresh spring roll) which my wife enjoyed. I got their version of a brat which had Laotian spices and topped with lots of tasty stuff. The bun was super fresh. I really liked it. We also got an order of wings (6 for $18). They were full wings so really the equivalent of 12 wings in most bars. The sauce was good as was the rub but overall they were just OK. Fun concept but given the small menu not sure we'd return.

Hot-N-Spicy is one of my all time favorite restaurants which remains a cultural culinary gem!…read moreMadison, WI is beyond blessed to have Hot-N-Spicy which is the most authentic SouthEast Asian restaurant in the Madison area that shares the culture of countries like Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam with the community through their incredible delicious food/cuisine! They truly live up to their name "Hot-N-Spicy". The cultural significance of the chili pepper often represents hospitality, warmth, and resilience! They bring all the spice and don't hold back! If you are not used to spice/spicy hot dishes, I suggest you start at level one spice and work your way up. They will ask you on dishes made with chili peppers what spice level you want 1-4 and can even make it hotter also! Hot-N-Spicy is genuinely unique because they offer Issan food dishes and flavors that is uniquely from the Issan/Isan Northeast region of Thailand that is heavily influenced by Lao and Cambodian flavors with the use of heat, fresh herbs, and use of fish sauce that brings different flavors different from other regions of Thailand. Hot-N-Spicy used to be located in the back of the Viet Hoa Market. It is now located next door from the market in a larger space in the same strip mall that allows for a more comfortable sit-down seating experience of a full restaurant. I have tried almost everything on their menu and have never been disappointed! For appetizers, I love their angel wings which are deboned chicken wings stuffed with chicken, carrot, and bean thread noodles fried to pure crispy perfection! Their most popular selling appetizers are their amazingly addictively delicious crab rangoons! Their chicken satay is also a must try! I also recommend trying their beef jerky which is so delicious, it often sells out quickly during the day! Their main entrees are so outstanding, it is hard to order one entree! My absolute favorite that I recommend is their steak Laab which is the best Laab I have had in Madison! It is heavily influenced with Isaan flavors/culture with minced beef, tripe, red onion, cilantro, mint, fresh lime juice, rice powder, fish sauce and scallions. I love the beef steak Laab because it is unlike anything you will ever taste with so much flavor from a combination of flavors with hint of sour with the lime, salty/umami/pungence from the fish sauce, balanced with refreshing different herbs, texture with the tripe, while the toasted rice powder gives this dish a tiny bit of crunch/texture that gives a subtle nutty flavor! This dish is a minced meat salad traditionally eaten with your hands and sticky rice/vegetables like cucumber. I also really enjoy their Pad Thai, Pho, and Crispy Noodle Lad Na! Your visit wouldn't be complete without quenching your thirst with either their Thai iced coffee/tea! Hot-N-Spicy remains at the top of my list for Thai/Lao cuisine! If you are looking for true authentic flavors/traditionally prepared dishes, definitely try Hot-N-Spicy!

I recently visited Hot N Spicy again, and it was just as good as I remembered! The Summer Rolls…read morewith pork nem nuong were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The combination of romaine, cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, mint, homemade daikon, and the crispy fried egg roll wrapper created the perfect balance of freshness and crunch. The nem nuong dipping sauce was so good that I ordered extra. I also tried the Panang Red Curry, and it was outstanding. The curry was rich, creamy, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor. I ordered level 1 spice, and it was the perfect amount of heat without overwhelming the dish. The homemade curry paste, coconut milk, basil, peppers, and jasmine rice came together beautifully. It's also been great to see this local business grow. What started as a takeout spot inside Viet Hoa Market has expanded into a larger space on Monona Drive, and it's easy to see why. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the new location offers plenty of seating. If you're craving fresh spring rolls, flavorful curry, or simply a great meal, Hot N Spicy is absolutely worth a visit. Added bonus the service was AMAZING!!!
