The Globe — Restaurant in Madison

Went for Dinner in on a Wednesday night. There isn't a ton of seating (20 people capacity) and it is closely packed, but we were able to get a table to ourselves. Very steady flow of people doing take-out/delivery such that the place always had a couple of people waiting on food. It looked like it was run by about 2 people ( 1 front and 1 or 2 back) and they kept pace.

Food: 5/5 - We had the curry noodles and Korean BBQ rice dish per recommendation from the employee at the front. Both were excellent and we didn't have any leftovers. Price: 4/5 - The price was very fair. All prices are going up, but at $13-$15 a plate it was worth it. I don't know about more, but definitely not less. Service: 5/5 - For being run by 2 people, they kept up with all of the orders for both takeout and dine in. My water glass was never empty, plates were cleaned promptly, and having great recommendations on what to try was also a plus. Ambience: 2/5 - Being honest, the place was quite cold (most people kept their coats on and a thermometer near was at 45 F while it was about -10 outside) and there weren't any notably interesting things to look at. Probably not a place I'd recommend for dine-in, but DEFINITELY still a place to visit. Bathrooms: available and clean Parking:...

Absolutely loved this place. Small, so definitely do takeout if you can, home or to your car or a park. But the skylight is really nice and you feel at home as soon as you walk in. You could tell that the lady in the back of the kitchen knew what she was doing. And the owner was so nice, loved talking with him. Asked where I was from and had a great conversation. Didn’t put me on the spot, but just generally friendly and interested. Liked overhearing his conversation with the locals, as well. Everyone was wearing a mask and being respectful of space, so I felt really safe. Got the fried dumplings, which seemed to be pretty popular. Beautiful presentation and they tasted great. Also ordered the daily bento box, which was fresh and exciting. Chai tea was mild, would recommend their herbal tea. The real star of the show was the Himalayan 15 Bean Soup. Menu says it’s a festival soup made with Ajwain spices. Weird thing to be excited about, but it was so good I ordered some spices online just so I could try to recreate it at home. Absolutely go to this place if you can. A gift card to The Globe would make...

I always try everything 3 times. The food here is okay. Anyone with cookbook and a kitchen can do the same. Nothing about it stands out as great examples of what it is. It's convenient to not have to make it myself but that's about the only draw.

It's almost impossible to get to and it's tiny. Your best bet to order is online delivery. A pickup order has you waiting in line for your food that you can see is ready for at least five minutes. They don't have any system for managing it properly. I even told them at the register and they told me my food wasn't ready until I pointed right at it and asked if that was mine or not.

The service was terrible every time. The woman at the register is always rude and seems like she's saying 'how dare you make me do my job' with every movement she makes. The wait staff has no idea what they're doing or where they're going.

If you're on foot and looking for a quick bite this place is a good choice but you'll spend way more than you need to, be treated poorly, and have a bad time trying to find anywhere to eat the food you...
