I've eaten here over a dozen times since finding it (always takeout), and it's always great tasting and consistent. The staff are super friendly and ordering over the phone or online is quick. The fried rice types all have a different flavor, and the satay chicken is top tier.

Worst Singapore/Malaysian curry I’ve ever had. Flavors were not balanced at all, curry had no depth and not much curry. Just look at the photo, they basically added a spoon of curry powder to coconut milk and called it Singapore curry. At the price they are charging, I would much rather just get the Prima Singapore curry premix from a Asian grocery store and it would be 10x better than this “curry” that’s just coconut milk

Impromptu date night here and it was great! Fast and excellent service. We got the eel roll, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon role, and California roll as well as the Singapore chicken curry. Everything was fresh and delicious! To top it off, we got a matcha moon pie dessert that was great too! Will definitely be going back.

This was some of the best sushi I’ve ever eaten. It all had superb quality and freshness. The staff were also very nice. Definitely will be coming back here again!
Vegetarian options: Avocado rolls and sweet potato rolls are amazing
Parking: Parking usually looks available.

This place is AMAZING! The chefs are always on point and the food is always fantastic. The staff is super friendly and generous (they included free soup in our takeout order!) And the Singapore Fried Rice is the bestest! We love you!!

I got take out today of the eel and avocado rolls. It was excellent! The presentation of my take out order is great, it’s even better that the avocados were fresh. Customer service was great too. Would highly recommend.

Decent if you aren't looking for Singaporean food. As someone who lived in Singapore for quite awhile, the only Singaporean food here is chicken rice (only available on selected days) and chili crab. Singaporean fried rice and noodle are not Singaporean food, they are from Hong Kong.Wish they were more authentic. Weirds me out they also do sushi and Chinese food. It's more like generic Asian food really, does not stand out to me at all.

Had a wonderful time here with some sushi and sashimi. The fish tastes fresh and the rolls are delicious. Like all other small businesses, this place is short in staff and gets pretty busy during rush hours. But the food is well worth the wait and I always feel welcomed in here.
This is one of the best restaurants in Wisconsin. I love their sushi dish. Great taste and texture. I'll definitely go back to try other chief specials.

Hidden gem! Best Eastside sushi I've had. Even though they were short staffed staffed we had a wonderful time and amazing service. The food was absolutely delicious!

Ordered 3 rolls and miso soup, was not expecting such a presentation. This is my 3rd time here and everytime everything is amazing. It’s well priced and clean for such a small place. If you are looking for laid back setting for good sushi, I would recommend Red Lion!

We have been here many time for sushi which is always very good. Last night I ordered fried rice for the kids but did pork instead of chicken. Holy cow it was hunks of pork belly! It was the best part of the meal haha! Make sure to get pork fried rice!!

Alright everyone listen up, this is a review you want to read till the end. See this pic? That is a custom order Jeffrey made (owner/chef) since I asked if they had any oxtail and it was not on the menu but he knew how to cook it. That alone is a 11/10 in terms of service alone.Then, lets get to the sushi. Hands down the best sushi in Madison, beats that over-priced stuff at Red, when people say Red they should be referring to Red Lion.Jeffrey makes sure that each roll is filled to the brim with fish or w.e topping you ordered and does not cheap out at all by skipping or lowering portions which everyone can definitely appreciate. Once our sushi was delayed by 5mins because he wanted to use a fresh batch of rice - another 11/10. I enjoy the spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, and shrimp tempura!Go try the lunch special for their sushi, pork belly, or the ribs too - all super good food. Will be missing this gem of a place when I leave from Madison due to work! Wish I had discovered it earlier into the year!
