16 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Madison

“Haven promises to live up to it's name and rather more. In the midst of many, many new Asian restaurants on or near State Street, Haven stands out for having a warm, open, well-lit and tasteful atmosphere--including not only a few games but a well-chosen, literate bookshelf that welcomes you to linger. The tea selection finally brings us back to the long-lost day of Dobra tea, finally expanding the State Street area Asian dining experience beyond bag tea. The food is equal to these other successes. I had the braised beef noodle bowl. This was a generous, flavorful no-nonsense bowl with a goodly bone-n joint of beef in the midst of the other hearty chucks of meat. The broth and the noodles were up to the same generous, flavorful standard. I observed in passing that they seem to have the liquor selection they will need to fit in with State Street, though that isn't a reason why I stopped in. I will certainly be back.“

“everything was amazing. the spices, the flavors, and the iced coffee... next level. it will not disappoint.“

“Food is all around solid. Ordering is table side via qr code and they bring it to your table pretty quickly (~3-5 minutes this visit).

The Apex galbi, bulgogi, and chicken bulgogi are all good. Definitely get some of the vegetables as well, they're a good balance to a very meat heavy meal. Price as of writing is $35 for 90 minutes of all you can eat, so it's not cheap but you can leave as full as you want to. Our server was great in offering us suggestions and bringing out a small sample of the more Korean desserts so we could try them.

Overall a solid recommend but come hungry“

“I am hooked on this place. They have the best, stuffed-with-so-much-filling crab rangoon, excellent pan-fried dumplings and the Dan Dan noodle is enough for 2 people or two meals. This is currently my favorite place to get food from while I am at work. I have yet to dine in, but once the weather warms up, I will stop in for sure.

UPDATE: I and a friend went to dine in. The Dan Dan noodles are, if possible, even better when served on site. My friend is vegan and they were easily able to accommodate this with her Pad Thai. One thing: because of their brisk carryout/delivery orders, it can be a bit drafty when the door opens and closes. Also, tables were a bit dirty and not wiped down or bussed. Someone should take more care with this as it would make the dining area far more appealing/welcoming/sanitary. We will be back for sure.“

“I immigrated from Russia as a child and I’ve searched for a taste of home for years. As dramatic as it may sound, my first taste of Paul’s Pel’meni had me sobbing in my car. It tasted just like babushka’s cooking. I don’t think anyone can understand just how much that little bite of home really means to me, but I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. Спасибо вам большое!“

“Absolutely terrific Tibetan Cuisine! In an atmosphere that is gentle and respectful. I live three hours away, was lucky to find it, and I guarantee I will be back! It doesn’t look romantic, but as I can attest from observing the couples enjoy their food, it is, from a culinary point of view, a romantic experience. Heck, I was alone and I felt the vibe!“

“This place is such a hidden little gem. The food is always fantastic, the folks working there are always amazing. There is usually a wait so expect it, it will be worth it. You nuke me every single time with the medium spice level and I love it.“
