Eating in Madison A to Z

Sushi Hut/Osaka House has been closed for a couple of years now. It is now an improved noodle shop called Chen's Dumpling House.

You won’t find a better Breakfast for less. My husband loves says their Walleye is the best he’s ever had, & the Rum Chata French Toast is fabulous!

Their tacos de lengua are the best in town, even surpassing Guadalajara's, IMHO. They're well-seasoned, and they manage to stay both meaty and tender without getting that sort of gelatinous texture that lengua often gets after a long stew.

I would never have expected to find that one of my favorite dishes in town is tongue-based, but here we are.

Unfortunately, this restaurant closed permanently over the weekend

The only reason I read this site is to count ham sandwiches, food of the apocalypse, nectar of those who will survive the turmoil.

Way cooler than what I thought they were.

The mixed grill does indeed look delicious, but my eye is also drawn to the interesting booklet or sheet behind the dish. Looks a bit standardized-testish.

Lamentably, Minerva closed a while ago.

Nice to see that they're willing to change up the menu. We thought the new dishes (especially their banchan) were spectacular. Who knew small bits of potato in a soothing chicken broth could be that good?

love this place! Their noodle dishes are to die for!

Takara shut down it's State St location last year, the Whitney Way one is still open.

the best place ever. its my heaven

What? You didn’t have the Tater Tot Hotdish?!? For shame! But guess you have a reason to go back now as this is the only place I know of outside of my beloved Minnesota to get a plateful of that delicacy.

Just ate there for lunch and couldn't be happier. The curries were top-notch, and the variations on a sweet & sour were excellent. Some of the best spring rolls we've had in years. Slower, relaxed service, but will go again.

Looks like I have a new place to add to the Fish Finder. Thanks for the info, friends!

We just had our own neighborhood staple close recently as well. https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/30/san-jose-tofu-japantowns-gem-closes-its-doors-after-71-years/

It's sad to see these gems disappear.

I don't understand your categories. Should the second Double-A's be Single-A's?

Please get a better camera, thank you.
