This place is a very authentic Asian restaurant with a substantial menu and items you don't find in most places. Where it falls short is in flavor. Everything just seemed like it had too much salt and very muddled. Not very subtle. I will say that the fried rice is very good and our service was great. I had one to the house specials, the numbing spicy dish. Again, very salty and good but not great. Would like to try more dishes to see if this is a theme or a one off experience.

The dim sum food itself was pretty authentic and tasty! My only knock is that it's a little expensive - even more than Boston dim sum which is crazy. I'd recommend going with a group of 4-8 people to maximize value.

This review is for the Dim Sum. By far the worst Dim Sum I've ever had in my life. Chinese donuts steam crepe was stale and hard, chicken feet was terrible, congee was bland. Bean curd was very oily on the inside. Heed my warning, don't come here for Dim Sum.

I was attending a relative's funeral in Madison. We had a short break and decided to venture the area. Madison has a lot of great eats and I went with the Yelp reviews to lead me here.The restaurant is beautiful inside, with plenty of seating and parking. We were greeted and seated right away. Very polite. Our drink orders were taken promptly too. Although it was our first time, they didn't take time to explain their menu like the customers that sat next to us, after us. I'm boggled that they charge $4 for a tea bag. I just assumed their tea would be made in-house with a specialty blend. The sticky rice in lotus flour was delicious but the pouches were tiny and they do not contain chicken as noted on their menu. It only had mushroom with rice and chicken flavoring. Their BBQ was a tad too sweet for me and artificially colored to look more red. Also their crepes. The rice skin was thick. Sorry to disappoint, but I left underwhelmed. Like a lot of people have said, the portions are smaller and the prices are going up. I had to experience for myself. I don't consider myself a dim sum connoisseur but I've eaten my fare share and this establishment is what I consider to be "a last resort."

Food 3/5 - Food was okay for a Chinese restaurant in the Midwest. I liked the BBQ Pork Buns and Veggie Spring Rolls the most out of the dim sum dishes that I ordered. Service 3/5 - Waiters were nice but service was a bit slow. Waited a long time for all the food to come out. I also ordered a bubble tea and they never gave it to me. Ambiance 3/5 - It's a big restaurant and very quiet inside. The bench that I sat on kept coming up. Bathroom was clean.

I want to be clear about my experience! 5/5 for food and for service! The food was absolutely delicious, probably best dim sum I've tasted in a long time. The portion sizes were big and came out quickly. My disappointment was in their cleanliness. I'd give that a 2/5. I noticed the jars that held things such as the salt, pepper, and chili oil were not cleaned or washed properly. any time I'd pick it up, it'd be sticky and dirty. Otherwise I'd come back again. It was absolutely delicious

Last week some co-workers and I celebrated Lunar New Year and we decided to do a family style lunch. Each of us order an entree to share and appetizers. The entries we ordered are general tso's chicken, cashew chicken, tofu and vegetables, and Beef and Broccoli. For the appetizers we ordered xiao long bao, shrimp dumpling, chicken potsticker, pan friend vegetable roll, and seafood hot and sour soup. My favorites of all the food were the general tso's chicken is the best I have ever had! I loved the chicken potsticker and Xiao long bao. All the food was amazing! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We shared the food on the lazy Susan and it was a really good time and a really great way to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

This restaurant was a lot bigger than I imagined, with a ton of parking and seats. Waiter was really polite and explained the system and food in the menu. I think the small plates in the first page is their specialty. I went for a xia long bao, and it was good. Chicken potsticker was good as well. Cumin beef entree was ok. There were $2 and $3 beer specials, which looked like a real bargain.

We enjoyed our first experience. I was skeptical when reading some of the Yelp reviews but I'm glad we gave it a try. The wait staff was pleasant. The atmosphere was nicely lit and enjoyable. The food selection was plentiful and what we ordered was enough for lunch portions. We plan to go back to try other items soon!

One of the best options for good Chinese food in Madison. I lived in the DMV area for years, and this restaurant's dishes are the most similar to the good, authentic Chinese places there. Everything I've gotten from Nani- both dim sum and entrees- tasted good and fresh. The restaurant is nothing fancy inside, but clean and nice. A good place to go for low-key but good Chinese food in Madison.
