The separate bar is as large as the dining room. Specialities here include Marco Polo's Beef prepared with beef tenderloin and Kung Bao Four with shrimp, scallops, beef and chicken. The take-out menu even comes with a number of colored photos to make selection easier. Red Pepper is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Even from the outside, there is no mistaking what kind of cuisine this restaurant serves, and during the warmer months, customers are invited to stroll through owner Henry Chen's flower garden.
All items are available for carry-out.
The Laughing Buddha welcomes diners to the cocktail lounge where a festive selection of drinks is concocted, including the Jade Monkey and Ginger Colada. The restaurant is open for lunch Monday through Friday and for dinner every day of the week. Reservations are recommended. Greatly adding to the ethnic variety of restaurants in Madison is the Russian House, the only restaurant we know of in the entire state that specializes in Russian cuisine. Beverages include beer, wine, Russian tea and vodka.
