With a varied menu of pickled pepper dishes, black curded bean dishes, hot pot and vegetarian classics like Sichuan eggplant, plus a few Japanese items like sake and mochi thrown in to appease the gweilo, Fugu is an outstanding Sichuan experience. Picks include dan dan noodles, Sichuan eggplant, and tea-smoked duck. More Americanized items are listed in the back of the menu. $5-$25.

No pufferfish, but simple successes at Fugu Asian Fusion
Fugu is about the only place in town where you can order up the entire digestive tract -- stomach to intestines to kidneys -- and get it quivering on a plate. And that's all to the restaurant's very big credit. While most of Madison's Chinese kitchens have opted for a timid, Anglicized and in some cases wholly invented version of Asian cuisine, Fugu is to Chinese dining what places like La Mestiza are to Mexican: a new wave of actually authentic local kitchens that do justice to ethnic food.

Fugu Asian Fusion now open in downtown Madison
Fugu Asian Fusion, 411 W. Gilman St., is now open. The former site of the all-you-can-eat Yummy Buffet has been extensively remodeled for a slightly more upscale dining experience, but then, almost anything would be more upscale than the Yummy.
