25 Best Chinese Restaurants in Madison

“Everything was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. Flavors were well balanced, ingredients were fresh. Will definitely go back.“

“We loved our meal at hot pot!!! Everything is explained so well and we all loved our meals. The portions were huge just fyi!!! We will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely amazing I visited a few months ago and tried this place and just moved here this weekend and just had to come back the Mongolian beef is AMAZING and the steam buns are delicious 😋 and the orange chicken was perfectly crispy very large portions definitely worth the price“

“Had another amazing meal at Ruyi!!!! Keep making your noodles and we’ll keep eating there! 5 ⭐️!!!!“

“Excellent food and hospitality! Been a favorite since I had my first taste in Middleton…“

“The best scallion pancake I have ever had. It was perfect. There are not a lot of vegetarian options but enough. Wish there was a vegetarian option for the Dan Dan noodles. Signature cocktails come in fun glassware. Our server was incredible. She answered all our questions, advised on parking, and kept her cool despite being the only server on an unexpectedly packed Monday. The patio is adorable.“

“The place is crusty and dark, the food is greasy but plentiful, the service is fine. If you just need lots of food for a cheap cost don't mind the slop, this spot is great. I will say it does hold quite a bit of cultural significance for the student population, and is a core exp of studying here.“

“I ordered takeout from this restaurant today, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh—you could really tell the food was made with care. The flavors were light and clean, not greasy at all, and I felt great after eating. From now on, whenever I don't feel like cooking, this will be my go-to for takeout.“

“Like one of the earlier reviews mentioned, I honestly do not understand the negative reviews, too. We just moved nearby to Great Wall. We used to live in a different part of Madison, and we were sad that we had moved farther from our old favorite Chinese restaurant, so we thought, why not try Great Wall? Turns out, it surpassed our expectations. We have been ordering the shrimp and broccoli, and it is so fresh, not greasy at all, and healthy. Great Wall has now become our go-to Chinese spot, and we plan to keep coming back for a long time. We no longer think about our old favorite Chinese restaurant. :)“

“I totally love the Singapore Mei fun! The BEST I've ever had. Great service and polite staff. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

“The BEST!!! The food is delicious, the choices are hard to make - so many delicious options!“

“We really enjoyed the General Tao’s chicken…..our new “go to” for Chinese takeout place!“

“We wanted some Chinese food, did an Apple Map search from our location and found Chopsticks. We had a fantastic meal! Parking was on the street and we were lucky to get a spot close by. The service was friendly and great. We were between lunch and dinner, so it was not crowded. We had Deep-Fried Veggie rolls to start and they were a great start while I tried to decide on what to order because there were so many great choices. I did a build Your own Bento Box and my wife did the Chicken Teriyaki and both were really good. We will be back because the food was great, the service was great and it was a nice place to eat.“

“’ve stopped by a few times now, and this place is a total winner! The lunch special is phenomenal—we’re talking generous portions, authentic flavors, and super speedy service. It’s the perfect spot if you want high-value Asian cuisine in a relaxed, counter-casual setting. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, I can't recommend it enough!“

“Best Chinese food I've had in Madison. The lo mein is life-changing.“

“One of my favorite places to eat in the whole city. They cook tofu so amazingly. My mom and I come eat here at least once a week. It's a bit of a wait when you go in person but that's because they make everything right there. Some of the most amazing food I have ever had locally.“

“I love this place! The food is really good and the portions are huge. If you spend $15 or more on your order on their website you get free fried rice too which makes it even more worth the already pretty cheap price. The lady that normally works there seems really sweet and hardworking. I am really picky and have a lot of little requests and they are accommodated every time. My order has never been late. Sometimes they throw in an extra crabrangoon when I order them, or an extra eggroll, which is so nice of them. Lovely place.“

“Great food—we got the seaweed salad, pork buns, minced pork rice bowl, and lychee cocktail. Good service. We plan to come again :)“

“i absolutely LOVE this place! this is always my go to restaurant with my friends after classes and it never disappoints.🫰 the workers are super nice as well especially the woman with a ponytail and the guy with glasses :) will definitely recommend this place!!“

“The dim sum menu is absolutely phenomenal. When we ordered, our server was very attentive and the food was amazing, easily the best chinese restaurant we've eaten at in Madison. The atmosphere is very calm and laid-back but not sterile; you don't feel uncomfortable holding a normal conversation, but you also aren't struggling to hear anyone over music or other loud conversations. The food itself was incredible, and even though we ordered and shared every dish as a family, there was not a single dish that even one of us disliked.

When we went, there was also a car meet which they seem to host every Thursday, which we had a lot of fun checking out after dinner. We are definitely coming back, and I can't recommend this restaurant more highly at this price point if you're looking for dim sum on the west side.“

“Everything was delicious!“

“I took a gamble and it payed off.
They offered samples non-aggressively and they were actually good.
I tried both the orange chicken and the pepper chicken and rice for only like 12 bucks.
The food was delicious.
I prefer this food court.
I am still full hours later and very happy 😁“

“This is a great takeout spot for chinese food. I've been getting food from here for years and they've maintained high quality the whole time. It's not super fancy and while there is some space for dine-in, the restaurant is mostly geared towards take-out. When they say 15 minutes in your text notification, they mean it. In all these years, I've only had to wait twice and they were absolutely slammed with customers both times. Usually my order is ready and waiting when I get there.“

“Great dining experience! The staff were friendly, patient in explaining the menu, and provided attentive service throughout. Prices are reasonable, and the comfortable, welcoming atmosphere makes it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommended!“
