| - We live four blocks from Ha Long Bay so we have gotten take-out from them many times in the last year. Oddly, we have never dined in, so I can't comment on the service. I'm not sure precisely when they opened, but I know in the fall of 2009 when we first started picking up food there were a few problems with mixed up orders and longish waits. However, those issues seem to have long cleared up. They have hired some good employees and generally seem well-organized and attentive. I haven't had to wait for my call-in order to be ready in a long time.
They do have a ridiculously large menu, which is fun for us since we can leisurely look it over in the comfort of our home, but I can see how it's a little much for one restaurant. At the same time, I have liked most of the dishes we have gotten. Some of their Thai dishes do not meet the standard of my favorite divey Thai place in Milwaukee, but I think others are really good.
I especially like the squash curry, the pad thai, and the spring rolls that have an egg roll inside them (sounds so ridiculous but it's actually good!) I am realizing that in order to get the food spicy enough for my husband and I that we have to order 4/4 stars, which seems a little strange, but whatever. I'm looking forward to trying the pho whenever we decide to dine in.
Overall, I think this is very good Asian food for Madison, and I'm happy they are in the neighborhood!
