27 Best Chinese Restaurants in Madison

“super nice people and a fun atmosphere. unfortunately the jian bing had this odd bitter taste to it that I think came from the overcooked eggs and sauce-- there wasn't a balance between the sweet bean sauce and the spicy sauce so the bitter spice ended up overpowering everything. kind of made me question if jian bing is really supposed to taste this way? anyway that being said, the people are, again, super nice and friendly and helpful. would like to come back for the braised beef noodles, jiaozi, and shrimp dumplings!“

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

“The best food and vibes in Madison, no contest. Regulars here, and treated like family. Erin & Rita create the perfect at ease vibe in the dining area to compliment the mastery that goes on in the kitchen. (Erin went out of her way to return my forgotten wallet!) I really can't praise this place enough. If you're a recovering Midwestern pallet like me, Dan Dan & Ryans Chicken are the gateways to paradise. I can't have Dan Dan anywhere else now - if it's not Hutong, its not Dan Dan XD“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The takeout experience exceeded my expectations! The food was carefully packaged with no spills and kept warm well. It tasted amazing, just as described, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Delivery was fast and service was great. I’m totally satisfied. The price is reasonable, and I enjoyed the meal very much. I’ve saved the shop and will order often. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I Desiree love this place everything is always perfect just like you ordered it huge portions very friendly woman at the front counter I believe she's one of the owners but they are all very special people You are really enjoy your food from this location they have scallion onions and bean sprouts if you like that in your food we do as well as they will make the shrimp fried rice extra extra spicy for you if you request it they are awesome“

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

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

“I don't have a sweet tooth, so their baked goods are irrelevant to me, and I've yet to try their entrees, so I'm no real judge of their menu - I'm here to sing the praises of the sticky rice wrapped in leaves (bamboo?) - It's the blandest thing that I find satisfying (And I enjoy the real hot Sichuan up Park St at Ichiban!) The bit of chicken, the soft peanuts, the subtle herbal flavor imparted to the rice by the leaf wrap - It's just good (The rice is certainly cooked in broth, verging on pudding, but it's not any sweeter than the rice alone might make it.) It's comfort food, and it will keep me coming back, especially at $4. Think medium/ large baked potato with butter or sour cream for an equivalent lipid-starch satisfaction.
(2 minutes each in the microwave if you carry them away cold.)“

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

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

“Honestly, I'd been sleeping on this place for far too long. We ate at the bar and everything was fantastic from the apps, to the dumplings to the Ramen. The brussel sprouts were a standout app. The dumplings were beautifully handmade. The Tonkatsu Ramen was so solid- sumptuous, perfectly salty, gorgeous hand pulled noodles. Lastly, the price was really affordable. Three people ate really well with drinks and we got of there for under $120. Bravo, Umami! We can't wait to go back.“

“the shrimp and egg over rice was really good, but my stomach started growling and grumbling and squealing a couple of hours after the meal. maybe the eggs weren't the best quality bc I had the craziest poops the day after... but again it tasted rly good! lol

braised pork over rice was pretty good but just sliiiiightly bland. could have used more soy sauce I think. not much meat when you take the fat off but pork belly is the traditional way of doing things so understandable! service was just okay, atmosphere also just okay“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A spectacular experience that feeds both the soul and the palate
​We went to dinner as a family—two adults and two children—and the experience at Nani Restaurant exceeded all expectations. We went in just thinking we’d have a good meal, but our waiter's service completely elevated the evening: he reflected a genuine love for his work and transmitted a peace that truly brightened the place.
​We ordered the duck, and we absolutely loved it. It came with scallions, cucumber, perfectly seasoned shredded meat, and golden, crispy duck. Even though I am not a fan of bread, the buns that accompanied this dish delighted me; they have a different texture and a very special flavor. With this dish and two sides of rice, it was more than enough for the four of us. The atmosphere is incredibly quiet and relaxing. We paid approximately $83 (including the tip, which we gave with absolute pleasure). I highly recommend it!“

“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!“

“For Asian-American fare, I was pleased. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken lunch. The breading wasn't overwhelming, the chicken ratio wasn't disappointing, and the sauce met expectations for consistency and flavor. It didn't blow my mind, but it was tasty. It included fried rice and vegetables. I was surprised an egg roll was added. I was too full to eat it, however. Food was plenty.
I did not check on the quality of the ingredients or whether this restaurant uses MSG, artificial colors or flavors, emulsifiers, preservatives, GMOs, or anything else.
I'm judging strictly from presentation, quantity, relative freshness, and flavor, and what you would expect for standard asian-american fare.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😁“

“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!“

“Everything was delicious!“
