Reviews:
Atmosphere (5/5): The atmosphere was satisfactory. There were props reminiscent of Taiwan, the interior of the store was clean, and the sound of music in the store was not loud enough to interfere with conversation.
Service (4/5): You can order through the staff or through the kiosk, so you won't have to wait long to order your food. The staff taking orders are friendly. However, after eating, each person need to put their plates and trays away in a designated area, just like at a fast food restaurant.
Food(5/5): The food is very nice for the price. In the case of bento, the rice is not seasoned, so it feels a bit bland, but the danzai noodle menu and the meat (proteins) included in the bento were really tasty. I also recommend milk tea for dessert.
My family loved this place. I would absolutely go here often if I lived closer. I'm a big fan of Taiwanese food and this place definitely a great Taiwanese spot. We loved everything we got (braised pork bowl, chicken cutlet with curry bowl, sweet potato fries) except the shrimp which was not as amazing but still, this place is so good and one of our favorite meals on our trip to Madison.
My go to smoothie place in Madison! This place is absolutely incredible - HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Both the lychee and mango smoothies are excellent - sweet, fresh, crisp and delicious. Service is always friendly and quick and the inside is very comfortable and homey.
TLE is such a cute spot on state! Good drinks, tasty food, and fun vibes. I got the popcorn chicken meal with a side of veggies. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. The only critique I have is that the portions of the protein are on the smaller side compared to the amount of rice. I was satisfied with my meal but can definitely see it not being enough for others. Otherwise, it's a great spot and I love stopping by when I'm in Madison!
The food is delicious & Passion fruit juice amazing!
Service was fast and the place is small but feels cozy. I'll be back!
This was my second time in Madison, Wisconsin and this was my second time coming to Taiwan Little Eats. At my first time here, I ordered the Chicken Katsu and it was so good that I had to get it again during my second time here. My first time last year, I got the fried chicken thigh and a boba tea, which were very good.
This time, I got the Katsu with rice and my brother got the Katsu with noodles. The sauce that the Katsu was coated in was sweet and savory. The meal was cooked perfectly and it was ready in a few minutes. When I come back to Madison to visit my brother, I will definitely come back to this delicious restaurant. I will try something different next time, but whatever it is, I know it will be yummy.
Tiny hole in the wall. And it survived the pandemic. I love supporting small, family owned restaurants like this. And, I love eating here: no reservations, no fancy menus, no pretensions.
As a native Taiwanese, I found the flavors authentic and delicious. Bring some friends or eat alone. Order a selection of small dishes and sample them all.
Some of my faves? Tea-egg, minced pork over rice, boba tea. But really you won't go wrong with any of it.
One of my State Street favorites and my go-to-spot for bubble tea!
There's no shortage of spots for bubble tea and snacks in this area, but this one tops my list. The boba is always very fresh and never tastes too tough or chewy. Furthermore, the seating and ambiance is really really cute! The bright blue walls are filled with decor, local art, and curiosities.
I've had the popcorn chicken here, which was tasty but the real reason I come here is the bubble tea.
The WiFi is reliable and this makes a decent study spot, although the music is a bit loud, so find a spot away from the speakers!
What a cute little place to grab food! I was in Madison visiting a friend and she recommended we come eat here for some Asian food and boba of course.
The restaurant is so cute, decorated with postcards and very remnant of Taiwan! We ordered our food and drinks and were served very promptly. Food was good -- nothing out of the ordinary, but a solid meal and taste. The bubble tea drinks were great as well!
Would recommend to anyone that needs a quick little fix on boba and Tawainese food!
If you like fried chicken, you have to try the Giant Fried Chicken Cutlet here. Fresh and very hot out of kitchen, the chicken cutlet is perfectly seasoned w salt and a bit five spices and fried to be very crispy. I like it's thin and large so every bite is delightful and you can enjoy it for a while haha.
The restaurant itself is very cute and the servers are all very friendly. Next time when I go to Madison I will try other things on their menu which looks pretty diversified and authentic.
Just stopped by and tried their Taiwanese style milk tea with boba. It was actually really good. I've had a lot of milk tea in other places and this was really nice quality. Really uniquely decorated place too, I'd come back if I lived nearby!
I thought I had posted my review. I've been back to LTE 2 times already. I really liked their food and their dishes are priced be reasonably. Best part for me is eating outdoors. Highly recommend LTE of you be are very on state street and looking for something to eat.
