output: I love the lunch buffet at Mirch Masala and I'm so glad that it has reopened. My husband and I go to many Indian restaurants in madison and this particular restaurant/chef is our favorite. I find that their ingredients are fresher and better than some other places nearby. My particular favorites are their goat curry, veggie noodles, tandoori chicken, and their sweet naan (peshawari) . What I think sets this place apart are the slight alterations the chef makes to the usual dishes. For example the palak paneer has more than just spinach in it, I think the chef puts in some leek too which I find quite surprising and pleasant. Sometimes there is a slight bbq sauce in the tandoori chicken which is awesome. It isn't the same as other traditionally Indian restaurants, perhaps due to the Nepalese influence. I really appreciate what this chef/owner is doing with the food. He was originally the chef of many known establishments, but saved his money up to get a place of his own where he can cook the food he wants and I respect that and hope this restaurant does well in this hidden location.

output: Republic Ramen looks and sounds like a promising restaurant; unfortunately, my first bite told me otherwise. While the food is not inedible, it definitely does NOT resemble traditional Japanese ramen. I ordered an original milk tea boba & a bowl of tonkotsu ramen with pork. The pork is nothing like the pork that comes with authentic ramen. Instead, it was pale, tough, and flavorless. The noodles and soup are fine but way less flavorful than I am used to from a restaurant advertising themselves as a ramen restaurant and not just a plain noodle house. And the boba I ordered was VERY flavorless and watered down. However, on the bright side, the boba pearls were the perfect texture and level of chewiness!

$30 for 3 sandwiches and chips is a solid value. Hearty, tasty sandwiches always satisfy. However, I can't possibly recommend using the phone-in service. We showed up at the pickup time, paid, and waited :20 for our food. No apology or mention of the wait until I inquired. The takeout host was sorry. No explanation, no attempt to make it right. Didn't even offer a water for the wait. I've always had great service dining in so I assume it was the worst day all year for takeout.
