I can't remember the names but on two of the other 3 corners at the street that intersects University where the Best Western Hotel is (west of campus) there is a Korean place and a Italian place that are both pretty good.

Madison is a great eating town.  A stroll down State Street, between the campus and the capitol will find many interesting places to eat: for example, a Tibetan restaurant, which I've never tried.  There's also a popular Mexican restaurant and numerous coffee houses and snack shops.

My favorite place is Husnu's, on State St; it's an Italian restaurant with Turkish specialities (believe me, it works).  Try the Turkish appetizers and the Chicken with Peaches - yum!

In addition, there is (or was) a Moroccan restaurant near the capitol, a few blocks off of State, that has wonderful food as well.  Alas, I can't remember the name, but I'm sure it's in the phone book if it's still there.

I left Madison 3.5 years ago, so this list may be a little out of date, but my favorites were:

Husnu's - on the south side of State Street, about 2 blocks from the campus
         end;  they have great Mediterranean/Mid-Eastern food.  There was a
         more casual place with similar cuisine across the street, too, but I
         can't remember the name

Himal Chuli - short on ambience, but very interesting Nepali and Tibetan food;
         on State Street up near the capital

Pasqual's - good, big servings of authentic Southwestern food; one on Monroe
         Street (around 2600 block) and one on Atwood Ave around the 2000
         block

Porta Bella - excellent Italian food; on N. Frances just off State Street.

Sunprint Cafe - mostly natural/vegetarian food; sandwiches at lunchtime and
         several entree choices at dinnertime, plus terrific desserts; on
         State Street upstairs from some clothing store I've forgotten the
         name of

I also highly recommend just wandering up and down State Street until you find something that appeals to you.  There were new places going in all the time.  A quick, good and cheap bite can always be had from the vendors on the library mall as well.
