Hạ Long Bay Restaurant

EVERYTHING TASTES DIFFERENT after the original owners sold the business.

The food price and portions were excellent. The missing star is for the wait time for a table and bathrooms. A single toilet each, male and female. This place gets super busy. We got there before the rush and still waited 30mins for a table. However, during the rush, it's probably an hour wait.

I visited Ha Long Bay for the Pho. I have to share with readers that I was a little disappointed. My table surface was not clean or prepped. My bowls for the Pho were dirty. I approached a waitress, and she was shocked. A waiter then did his best to rectify the situation twice! The rice was dry or a day old. You can ask the staff to SPLIT a big bowl of Pho for two, however!

The food is consistently delicious and the wait is consistently long. Without fail you will have to wait an hour from when your order is submitted.

Pra Ram Long Song is great! Love the peanut sauce!

Blake was an amazing waiter. He made great beer recommendations and We had the Tom Yum Soup and Drunken noodles.Both were amazing and authentic.Will be back!

Arrived for dinner on Monday evening, it was busy but I was seated quickly. I had a glass of red wine and ginger tea and split the Pad Peg red curry with chicken and drunken noodles with beef with a friend. I was impressed with the dimensions of spices and flavors with both dishes. Service was excellent.

So, I'm a Madison tourist who lives in Chicago and I'd heard about this place from a couple of websites ("Best Restaurants in Madison" lists, "Things to do in Madison" videos)--and it's completely justified! Delicious and amazing! Probably the best Tom Kha I've ever had and my server was so sweet and helpful--can't wait to go back!
