Pistachio, Rose water one was my favorite. Banana was really good, and Pomegranate was ok. Pistachio Maras Kesme Dondurma was really good Turkish ice cream. It was expensive at $17. I like the Turkish cotton candy. Roll max was a good cake. Fruit infused drinks were an interesting concept. Japanese kumquat and lemon drink was my favorite. Speaking about their food counter, snacks like samosa and Uzbek samsa were all really good. But the entree items were just ok. King fish curry was not good. Meat was not as good as I expected.

Pistachio one was my favorite. There were many Asian ice creams. Propitious mango was a good one. There were a lot of small food places in the food hall. I tried food from a lot of different places. The food hall had a lot of seats, and was neatly maintained. It was never crowded. Kawasaki is close to the entry of Global Market. So the first time I was there, I went straight to this place. I had a Chicken katsu rice bowl. It was one of the best food I had in the food hall. Display had some very delicious and cute cakes. Next time I should try some of that. Taiwan Street has nice pho and bubble tea. I went for a pistachio milk shake, without bubbles. It was good. But I think I should have really went for a pho. They have a lots of sweets in display. I went for a peach swiss roll and a sesame ball. Both were good. From Dumpling House, I went for a chicken and mushroom dumpling and chinese chive pie. Both were good . It came steaming hot. I think I should have gone for some of their more favorite items like chive and pork dumpling. From Nice Flavor Stir Fry , I went for a sauteed sliced lamb with cumin. Generally this is a really flavorful dish which you cannot go wrong with. But it wasn't as good as I expected. Flavors were off, and the quality fo meat was not as good as I expected. Stir fry chicken mei fun was my favorite item from Bowl Bowl Rice. It came hot and was flavorful. I also had a tea leaf flavor egg. It was just $1. But it came with egg shell. I had to peel it. Egg was slightly less flavorful than I expected. Mochi donut is the main item in Glazed. There were some food items as well, but I didn't find takers for that. I went for 3 donuts - Oreo, honey dew and churro. The flavors were all interesting. May be oreo was my favorite. Donut texture was more chewy. From S&B Hmong Kitchen, I went for a fried rice from this place. It was flavorful. Cilantro and scallion on top gave a nice flavor kick. From Poké Mì, I went for a drunken noodles as my entree. It was not as good as I expected. Flavors were off. May be I should have gone for bahn mi. I haven't seen sugar cane juice anywhere else in Madison. So went for one. I thought it was just ok.

I've been to many excellent oriental grocery stores and this place pales in comparison. I placed my order and proceeded to wait almost 20 minutes for my food. The crab rangoon should be called cheese rangoon for there was nary a piece of crab in the order of 6. They were also very sweet. The pork eggrolls had no pork. The shrimp wonton were awful. The shrimp overcooked, tough and tasteless yet the wonton wrapper was under cooked. The stuffed wings had an odd flavor and the dipping sauce did not improve them. Not a good experience.
