"Simply put, this place serves the best Taiwanese food you can get in Madison. And the bubble tea, the interior, and the friendly staff all add to an overall authentic and pleasant Taiwan experience. Highly recommend! I have been here about four times. I tried the chicken cutlet, braised pork rice, all 3 bento boxes, pig in a blanket, and various tea products. The food was pretty much exactly what you would get from a street stand in Tainan, the historic southern city of Taiwan. I would say the highlights were the braised pork rice and the chicken cutlet. The braised pork was well marinated with a balanced blend of spice and soy sauce, giving it its irresistible aroma. The amount of fat was just right so that when combined the pork and rice felt smooth without being too greasy. I was genuinely surprised when I saw the chicken cutlet it was huge! Easily palm sized, if not more. With its size, it still managed to have proper coating with plenty of crispiness, and a juicy inside that was well marinated. 10/10. As other reviews already mentioned, tea products were awesome. They make a good combo with the tapioca(bubbles) since the tapioca served are less sweet than what you usually get from elsewhere, and so your tastebuds can really savor the tea without being saturated by sugar. Aside from the food, one can see that a lot of thoughts have been put into the design and decoration of the place. It radiates with that personality and human warmth of a hidden cafe that a traveler would happily stumble upon when exploring the many nameless streets of Taipei. Worth mentioning is that they also play a good mixture of music ranging from the renowned singers such as Cheer Chen to up and coming indie bands such as 'No Party For Cao Dong '. I enjoyed their selection. Overall great place. Will go back."
