Ha Long Bay - Madison

Ha long bay restaurant is not her standard corner asian restaurant. very diverse menu and had the pleasure to eat for the vaterday. this came as a highly recommended Vietnamese, Thai and Laotic cuisine. the service and the drinks are stellar, with domestic beating and import stealing the show. try a singha or capital amber if they are not a native. destined cold, refreshing and tasty our table began with chicken noodles, vegetarian samosas and spicy potstickers, all tasteful and light. Entrees were railway mi’s, curry, fried fish, noodles and the Vietnamese fried rice. Those who enjoy family style or on a budget will enjoy their portions that are great enough to share. the kitchen staff really knows their aromes and was told by a visit to other rooms. a picture of it depends on the wall. the family is very proud of their recipes and ha long bay restaurant delivers really great asian to cheap trips.

I enjoyed my lunch here, but I don't think I would go back and I'm not sure why it is so popular, although I guess it's just because of the fact that it's in the city that makes it accessible to all college children. No matter why, it's a busy place that is also small, which means that it can be loud, difficult to find a phone, parking place. the first time I came here was on a Saturday at 19 o'clock, I went in because I called three times and it was either busy or not answered, but they were packed and there were 3-4 people who were to order before me, and more people smiled at the door so that I decided to go. I went back today at 15 o'clock and there were only a few tables, so I was able to come fast and find good parking (I recommend the free one next to the st. vincent de paul store.) the Thai early roll are huge and they taste great (despite with cilantro, which tastes like soap to me) plus the lime water is wonderful, so no! regarding the pho, it was good, but I had certainly better broth and the beef bags had a bit too much fat for my lust. they were made of Guava juice, which was a bummer, but my waiter was very friendly / helpful and did a good work without floating.

We waited for about 10 minutes to order our meal. the lady who took our order said it would be ready in about 25 minutes. I set a timer up and left as the waiting area was overcrowded. I came back and waited 20 minutes, almost an hour. it would be wise to order ahead. if they want to sit, reserve them.

We had no Thai food in one because, and this place came very respected as one of if not the best in madison. it was good to eat, but I certainly had better. the natives love it quite clearly how to take the number of dunes in the patrons and the collection our commands. the menu is extensive, as it serves a lot of Thai, Vietnamese and Laotic food. they will certainly have a hard time to decide what to get. eclectic small place in an eclectic neighborhood on “Willy St.” everything in all, no disappointment.

This is the best Pho I have had in my life! The broth was incredibly aromatic and complex. I will always stop here when I am in Madison.
