🍜 Madison Food Adventure | 9 Chinese Restaurants Review 🌶️

Clearing out my camera roll… So many calories consumed — gotta share the food journey! Madison actually has a lot of great eats. Here’s my roundup of Chinese spots around town: 📍 Taste of Sichuan Probably the most famous Sichuan restaurant in Madison. Been here multiple times — always get the Couple’s Beef Tripe and Farmhouse Stir-Fried Pork. The pig’s feet were chewy and satisfying, but the stir-fried kidney was too gamey — skip that one! 📍 Fugu Another Sichuan spot. Also visited a few times, but personally prefer Taste of Sichuan. Tried the Blood Curd & Entrails Stew and Boiled Beef — looked authentic but tasted like they came from the same pot. Pretty one-note. 📍 Double 10 This place serves both Northeastern Chinese dishes and mini hotpot. Their Guo Bao Rou is Liaoning-style (tomato-based) — and the Braised Pork Bones are super authentic. Highly recommend! ✅ 📍 Hutong Their lamb skewers are pretty tasty but a bit pricey. 😅 We were arguing the whole meal though, so I don’t really remember anything else… except sadness. Still took pics though — dedication lol. 📍 Hotpot 608 All-you-can-eat hotpot. The ingredients were just okay, but I still remember their braised pig feet — I devoured four and had no room left for hotpot 🐷🙈 📍 Nani Cantonese dim sum spot. Their rice rolls came in a weird cylindrical shape — don’t order those. The beef ho fun was decent, and they even have durian crepes (not for me though!). 📍 Dagu Rice Noodle Big letdown 😵 The beef slices were frozen solid — too thick and hard to cook or chew. The only fun part was DIY-ing the rice noodles. The popcorn chicken was alright though. 📍 QQ Express Cheap and generous American Chinese takeout. I’m weirdly obsessed with their peanut butter chicken 🥜🍗… someone help my taste buds lol. 📍 Global Market Food Court Got malatang (spicy numb soup) from the food court inside Global Market Asian grocery. Great supermarket with a wide range of Asian products — just a bit far from downtown. Let me know which one is your favorite! 👇🥢 #100RestaurantsChallenge #UWMadison #ChineseFood #MadisonEats #MadisonWI #DimSum #Hotpot #Malatang #SichuanCuisine #FoodReview #AsianGroceries #LivePhoto
