| - Honestly, this isn't the best Asian bakery I've been to. BUT I'm so happy that we actually have one in Madison, and the food is pretty good. This is a good place to go to if you are craving Asian baked goods or dumplings, but if you're visiting from out of town, this isn't a spot I would recommend.
I've tried quite a few items on the menu, and my favorites are the pork buns and the crepe dumplings. The "Chinese tamale", or glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf, was probably my least favorite item that I tried. It was pretty bland compared to others I've had elsewhere, and there wasn't much mixed in with the rice. The sesame balls are pretty good, and the chive dumplings are a bit dry, more like potstickers than dumplings.
The service is great; on both occasions that I've been here the lady behind the counter was extremely friendly and attentive. She also gave us tips about what times to come for the freshest bakery items.
There is a small amount of seating, and this is mainly a take-out place, so there's usually seating available. Be careful if you order the tea, they keep the temperature really high, so it's hard to drink for the first 5 minutes or so.
I'll definitely be back when I'm craving some pork buns!
