Nani Restaurant: Experience Authentic Cantonese Dim Sum and Seafood in Madison

One of the best options for good Chinese food in Madison. I lived in the DMV area for years, and this restaurant's dishes are the most similar to the good, authentic Chinese places there. Everything I've gotten from Nani- both dim sum and entrees- tasted good and fresh. The restaurant is nothing fancy inside, but clean and nice. A good place to go for low-key but good Chinese food in Madison.

The dim sum food itself was pretty authentic and tasty! My only knock is that it's a little expensive - even more than Boston dim sum which is crazy. I'd recommend going with a group of 4-8 people to maximize value.

We enjoyed our first experience. I was skeptical when reading some of the Yelp reviews but I'm glad we gave it a try. The wait staff was pleasant. The atmosphere was nicely lit and enjoyable. The food selection was plentiful and what we ordered was enough for lunch portions. We plan to go back to try other items soon!

This restaurant was a lot bigger than I imagined, with a ton of parking and seats. Waiter was really polite and explained the system and food in the menu. I think the small plates in the first page is their specialty. I went for a xia long bao, and it was good. Chicken potsticker was good as well. Cumin beef entree was ok. There were $2 and $3 beer specials, which looked like a real bargain.

I want to be clear about my experience! 5/5 for food and for service! The food was absolutely delicious, probably best dim sum I've tasted in a long time. The portion sizes were big and came out quickly. My disappointment was in their cleanliness. I'd give that a 2/5. I noticed the jars that held things such as the salt, pepper, and chili oil were not cleaned or washed properly. any time I'd pick it up, it'd be sticky and dirty. Otherwise I'd come back again. It was absolutely delicious

Last week some co-workers and I celebrated Lunar New Year and we decided to do a family style lunch. Each of us order an entree to share and appetizers. The entries we ordered are general tso's chicken, cashew chicken, tofu and vegetables, and Beef and Broccoli. For the appetizers we ordered xiao long bao, shrimp dumpling, chicken potsticker, pan friend vegetable roll, and seafood hot and sour soup. My favorites of all the food were the general tso's chicken is the best I have ever had! I loved the chicken potsticker and Xiao long bao. All the food was amazing! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We shared the food on the lazy Susan and it was a really good time and a really great way to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
