| - Tavernakaya is what I would describe to be a great unique and upscale experience. There is a fusion of Thai, Japanese, and American food taking place here. They have some of the most unique drinks that I've ever seen done in Madison. I ordered the Red Curry Noodles, my date had the TK Ramen, we got an order of Tempura Cheese, and the OG Pork Buns. We had a great time with the server as well. He had a great honest and personable personality. My Red Curry Noodles were so delicious I didn't want it to end. The Red Curry Noodles was served with a whole fried chicken leg that balanced so well with the broth. Before we placed our order, our waiter did warn me that the Red Curry Noodles were extremely spicy. I love spicy food though so I went with it anyway. I would say, if you are a beginner to spicy food and don't have a high tolerance, do not get this dish. My date said that the TK Ramen was good but became greasy towards the end of his meal. We enjoyed the pork buns but thought they were just so so. We both loved the Tempura Cheese. The Tempura Cheese is served with their spicy mayo which I'm a big fan of. Aside from food, we also ordered their Japanese Old Fashion which is made just like an old fashion but instead of just whiskey, they use Iwa Japanese Whiskey. I would recommend the Japanese Old Fashion for those who like a great drink that is on the stronger side. The first time I ever went to Tavernakaya, I ordered a Thai Basil Mojito. I am a huge fan of the Thai Basil Mojito. Most places that have made traditional Mojito have either been too sweet or too strong but this one, it is very well balanced. I will be returning to try other things on the menu and enjoy fancy drinks that are not found anywhere else around this area. I highly recommend this place for people who are looking to get a unique experience with flavors of food and like to be adventurous with drinks.
