Taigu Noodles

The food here is so good! It's my family's favorite Chinese food location in the entire Madison area!!!!

We picked up a carryout here, and it was ready right on time. We ordered the crab rangoons and the broccoli and mushroom noodles-and added chicken. Everything was really flavorful and delicious. The portion was big enough to share and we will have some leftovers. We will definitely order from here again!

My friends came down to visit me in Chicago and kept telling me how amazing this noodle spot in Middleton is. I told them I would try it the next time I came up to the Madison area, and that's exactly what I did.Parking wasn't a problem as there are spots out front and along the street. Ambiance was anything special; yet, was clean, climate controlled, and welcoming. My family and I were pleased to see that their seating arrangement is that of several large booth style seats. I have two minor complaints about the ambiance and that is the flies that were annoying us (and not very sanitary), and the lack of background noise. There was no music, no instrumentals, and nothing to damper the sound of slurping noodles and patron conversations. Coming from Chicago it is rare to dine at a place without background noise, and coming fromChicago it could have helped my family because we are loud! The service wasn't bad, but wasn't particularly good either. For some reason the waiter offered everybody else chopsticks or regular utensils but us (this is me being sensitive as I would have preferred chopsticks but only got a fork). They also didn't check in to see how we were enjoying our meal or to see if we needed refills. Now that I have my petty complaints out the way let me get to the noodles....The noodles were BANGING!!!!!!!! The texture of the noodles was perfect: soft, but not too soft. Chewy, but not too chewy. We got three different plates: cat ear something, spicy beef, and not spicy beef. All the noodles were distinctly flavored and paired perfectly with vegetables. The spicy wasn't too spicy but wasn't weak either. The meat was tender, marinated, and seasoned well. The veggie spring rolls were super crispy, didn't taste or drip oil, and were delicious, especially with the sauce! The plates are about $20 each, but they are huge and appropriately balanced. Next time my wife and I will definitely share a plate considering pricing and portions. Overall, I found Taigu noodles to be amongst the most unique Asian noodles that I have ever had as a world traveler. They are a true hidden gem in the Madison area!

Been a regular getting takeout from Taigu for family meals, it is always great! Favorites include the pork dan dan, cashew chicken, and the dumplings and sesame balls are a must-order. Always on time too!

Great place!!! I loved talking to the lady there who was our server, I came in earlier than the rest of my party and the place was pretty dead so she kept me company there. Cute restaurant decor and a nice place to meet up with friends. Food is good too, for the Madison area it's a great find for Asian food, try the beef shank appetizer!! The food comes out hot and they're known for noodles which is for good reason--I personally had the taigu spicy stir-fried noodles and enjoyed them. There are vegetarian options too if you need them.

I thought the food was just okay! I got the sesame chicken and you could easily spilt one meal into two. There was a long wait for food which was a bummer.

Visited Taigu for Sunday dinner one night with friends. The venue was conveniently located in downtown Middletown and there was no wait when we arrived for my party of 4. We ended up sharing the scallion pancakes, spicy ginger beef, and Taigu Special Cat Ear Noodles. The scallion pancake was honestly not great. It was around $9 and tasted a bit too floury and wasn't served with any sauce (making it quite dry) - wouldn't recommend. The spicy ginger beef was super flavorful and well spiced. I thought the seasoning was on point and the beef had a great char flavor. My favorite was surprisingly the Taigu Special Cat Ear Noodles. The noodles were chewy and aldente while also being the perfect vessel trapping the sauce from the dish. Overall, the dishes were good and the venue was reasonably priced for the portions of food. Would recommend the entrees.

Everything's too saltyFried rice all stuck together and soggyCrab ragoon's just cream cheese ragoon, not even fake crab meatAnd quite pricy for the food quality

Food is good, maybe a little pricey but that's Middleton for ya. Waitress swung by a little too often lol, just not expected for an Asian restaurant.

This review is actually for their new location on Old Middleton Road. I've been waiting with baited breath for it to open. Stopped in for lunch last Saturday on the first or second day it was open. The new location is gorgeous. They did a really nice job retrofitting the old Knocke's. Booths along the sides, tables in the middle. Seating by the door for people waiting for take out order or tables. There were a few of the normal new restaurant issues. The tables don't have any of the usual condiments set out I expect at a Chinese restaurant, and there was a bit of a wait between when we finished and when we got the check. That's to be expected, everyone is new. But the food... oh it was so good. I had cat ear noodles with chicken and egg, and it was sublime. Most plates are $19 to $21. Protein amounts are generous and the portion size ended up giving me both lunch and dinner. I'll be back!
