A: A couple words for my experience here: "FLY ATTACK!" More importantly, the sanitary standards must be raised here! Been on a Sabbitcal from Yelp! but it's experiences at places like this that drove me back to writing this. We were driving around Madison trying to decide what and where to eat. Couldn't initially decide but eventually found this place near UW on University Ave. From the outside the place looks innocent enough as one business along a row of others in a tiny plaza. Walking in the front door, this restaurant has different awards from local magazines lining the walls of the vestibule (which we found a huge disconnect between our experience and what has been written about it in the area; may I also add that it appears that the awards appeared to be granted in the 2000-2002 time frame and probably *before* the change of management since). The other facts are that the place has been decently interior decorated in a Thai accent. Pricing for Thai food here is about $10 per plate, give or take, which is about what we'd expect for 'market price,' not incredibly cheap nor expense for a Thai restaurant. Accordingly, we were looking for food quality prepared similarly for this price. Food here I must say tastes "good" to "okay" but not excellent (I don't mean to sound like a "Thai snob") and may be hit or miss but certainly this first experience for us here will also be our last. My observations on the management and staff: At least for our one visit here, the place seemed to be managed by one mid-aged lady that seemed a little stressed and under-staffed. We were there just before dinner and eventually a handful of college-aged staff arrived for dinner service (but the attentiveness to our table did not improve). The lady that waited at our table did give us the courtesy of informing us that she will now be leaving to 'open up' the other Sa-Bai Thong location in Madison when help at our location had arrived. Our possible first omen was when we were taken to our tables, we found the tables filthy. This tells us that they do not get wiped down often enough (found part of a noodle on one of our seats). We soon thereafter learned that my five year old godson started to have a reaction of puffiness and redness under one of his eyes! We believe that he was rubbing his eyes with his hands after sitting at the table for no more than ten minutes and must be from the traces of peanuts (which he has an allergic reaction to) on the table. They kept "pushing" the "#32 Pad Thai" when we were deciding what to order. We decided to try an order of this and found it a bit on the "saucy" side and were disappointed. Every Thai restaurant we've been too makes it w/less sauce. We found this saucy dish and the "#30 Bamee Chao Nue" or Chicken lomein noodle stir fried (with bean sprouts, green onion, celery, garlic, black soy sauce) to be on the salty side and heavy on the MSG. My "#44C Kanom Jean Gaeng Kiew Wan" or Green Thai curry w/vermicilli noodles was a bit on the watery side for me. Taste was actually good and liked the red peppers, bamboo shoots, basil w/eggplant. Another problem w/this was that there was no vermicilli noodles! They realized this and made a conscious effort to correct this. I requested to have rice with this instead. Another person in our party found a long-white strand of hair in his "#38 Pad Ka-Ree" noodles, yeeellch!!! Presumably from the cook. They were apologetic and offered to redo the order. Some in our party said that they would have left the restaurant if that would have happened to them but we stayed instead. All this mind you, the whole time during our meal experience we were swatting away 4-5 annoying flies at our table that decided to keep us company. You swat one away, the other two comes in. You swat the other two away, they circle around to surprise you on the other end. Fair to say that this definitely became an issue during our dining experience because my two godsons hysterically made it a game laughing through out our meal by trying to swat away the fly attacks: "Hey look! There is another one! Here it comes again!" ... Jeezz!
Q: positive

A: If you're comparing this place to Market District you need to get your priorities in order. Aldi is owned by the same company as Trader Joe's, and we get a LOT of basic food items here. Think sugar, flour, baking supplies, milk, OJ, greek yogurt, chips, bread, hummus, and produce. What we can't get here (like mayo, for example, blegh) we get at Giant Eagle. And yes, sometimes the produce is crappy. You need to carefully evaluate everything before you put it in your cart. Know how to tell what's fresh and what you shouldn't bother with. But that goes for all stores that sell produce. They sell things here consistently cheaper and I love giving less of my money to Giant Eagle.

Answer: After all of the rave of Dominick's I had to give this restaurant a try, and well it was no disappointment. Service was outstanding, we had 3 people in our party and although seated in a side room with not much view of the rest of the restaurant action it was fine the service made up for it and also gave us time to be fully engaged in our good company we had in town. The steaks were cooked to perfection the fish was delightful and the potatoes au gratin was out of this world! I will highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and clients.

output: This place is amazing! Not only they provide update Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin) songs, but also English songs. The decorations are pretty and colorful. The rooms are nice and clean. The drinks are really good and I enjoyed the food. My favorites would be the chicken wings, gyoza, curry fish balls and the duck wings! This place is good for parties and celebration. Highly recommended their mocktails. This is going to be my new hangout place that can have great food and karaoke at the same time!

I had received a $10 discount coupon in the mail which I didn't have with me but it made me curious because I LOVE Chinese food and it's very close to home. The weather was nice and their patio looked inviting. I ordered a $11 glass of wine and disappointed that it was barely 1/3 of the glass full. I love Wor Wonton soup, so I ordered the smallest size, again disappointed; the chicken was in such large pieces, it should have been served with a knife; the wonton was the frozen kind that has hardly any meat and mostly wrap; the soup taste was decent as was the one shrimp. The boneless duck tasted good, but I had asked the waiter if it was "crispy" as it's my rule when it comes to duck. It was not crispy, except for the thick skin, which I don't like, so I had to carefully remove the fat around the meat. The dish listed vegetables which were so few, at first I thought they would come separately. I will give it another try, but I'll stick to the noodles or fried rice.
