32 Best Chinese Restaurants near Middleton

“Their noodle dishes are the best. A great variety, flavorful, portions are generous and whether you eat in or pick up, the staff are friendly. My new favorite and I live an hour away... worth the drive!“

“We had a department party for 17 people that we needed at 11:30am and they open at 11am. They went above and beyond for us. Food was phenomenal and the service was expectational. I am not able to put in words the gratitude I have for all they did. Thank you so much!!“

“If you want good old fashioned Chinese-American, this is the place to go. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is friendly and obliging. Authentic regional Chinese is great, but sometimes nothing hits the spot like this kind of Chinese comfort food.“

“Best Chinese food in the state.“

“The best Indian food I have eaten outside of India! If you’re used to low-effort restaurants with sad, reheated curries that all taste the same, this place will blow your mind! Everything is freshly made in house every day and it shows. Original dishes that you will not taste anywhere else. Great friendly hospitality. An excellent restaurant!“

“This was a nice change of pace to eat at on our road trip Around Lake Michigan. The food was tasty, but the Gluten Free Mandarin Orange (with chicken) did not taste very citrusy. Decent portions, and I took the rest back to our hotel to eat for breakfast the next day. The rest of my gluten-eating party enjoyed their meals.

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

“my favorite place in Madison. service is always so friendly. I loved this place even when they were at the old location. I am so happy they have been so popular and recognized in the new location; they absolutely deserve it.“

“This is our favorite place in Waunakee. Fresh vegetables, always hot, and delicious! Just be warned that if you ask to add a side of vegetables they’ll charge you $8 for a vegetable entree 🙄“

“This place is a gem of a restaurant. The food, the atmosphere, the drinks are all 10/10. One of the only places in Madison I have seen tofu skins so that alone got me in the door. A lot of the small plates are vegetarian/vegan. Everything we have tried in our two visits there has been excellent - potstickers, green beans, tofu skins, scallion pancakes. They have specials that also sound great. Service on a busy night is a little slow, as can be expected. Would recommend a reservation as they are not a huge place and fill up quickly. Highly recommend having a meal here!“

“I just relocated from Houston to Madison and this is probably the best beef noodle soup I’ve ever had. Houston has a ton of authentic and delicious food from all around the world, but nothing I’ve had has come close. I never leave reviews, but based on the service alone I had to recommend this to strangers on the internet. If you are new to or visiting Madison, this place is a must try!!!“

“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“

“QQs is legit tasty food. This isn't the old QQs from 10 or even 3 years ago. The food is well seasoned, not too salty. Many items to choose, with some constant dishes and new things that rotate daily. The lunch line moves fast!

And importantly, the price has gone up, but the increase is much less than most other restaurants. 11 dollars for two entrees and side, and it is realistically two full meals of food.“

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

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

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

“Ordered delivery, got an unforgettable performance art piece instead. Our delivery driver arrived in a full business suit (because apparently Chinese takeout deserves black-tie service). He casually left with the tire inflator still hissing away like a pit crew at Daytona, but that’s just the kind of immersive ambiance you can’t buy. He introduced himself with a line that could’ve been written by Shakespeare on two bottles of sake, and then roared off into the night, probably en route to a board meeting and a demolition derby.

Food was hot, crab rangoon was crisp, and the entertainment value was Michelin-star level. If you want dinner and a show, this is the place. Will definitely order again.“

“Friendly hard-working no-nonsense couple serving consistently good take-out food at reasonable prices. I've been a customer since 2018 and have never had any issues with their food. It's not Michelin star, but they are great for a quick take-out meal.“

“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 😁“

“Right off the bat, parking is street parking and free. However, if you get lucky this place does have like a two car parking lot.

This place has lots of sweets to buy. There's lots to choose from such as sweet red bean bread, Chinese donuts, sesame balls, pork filled buns, etc. My advice is to get there early so the sweets are fresh and still available. They tend to run out of the more popular items like sesame balls early.

If you're not into sweets, they do have a limited food menu you can order from. The food is not your typical American Chinese food, which if you're looking for more authentic Chinese food, this us the place. Expect things like dishes cooked with tendon or intestines. They do have your typical chinese dishes as well.

Overall would recommend for sweets and more authentic Chinese food.“

“Everything I order is so delicious. I recently ordered the wonton soup and the sweet and sour chicken 2nd time. It still is so delicious. The only thing I changed is I said extra hot and spicy. The general Tso’s chicken and the sweet and sour chicken and the shrimp egg rolls are magnificent. I order once a week and sometimes twice. Great every time. Hot, fresh and quick. You can only order out from here.“

“Can’t say enough about the quiet, easy, lunch experience for a 83 birthday for a Japanese man who has international experience in Asian cuisine. Free appetizer comes with birthday lunch. He chose barbecued Short ribs with honey sauce and I had one of their 4 buns with a creamy custard center and flaky skin over soft bun. The Peking Duck was the reason we came and it was perfect. Tender duck carved and laid over lettuce with each slice offering the crispy crust so hard to get right while keeping the meat perfect. The platter was decorated with 8 double buns and accompanied by a gallon of savory duck soup with the bones, cabbage, greens, onions and seasoning perfect. I had beef with onions, rice, and shared the soup. The music and service were ideal. It took almost as long to choose from the extensive menu as it did to enjoy the meal.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious!“

“Great spot I like to go on break at when I'm working in my taxi. I used to work in a kitchen where I had to crack several eggs, scramble them, then store them for the chefs to cook later when they need to. This results in a less flavorful egg that doesn't taste as fresh as a freshly cracked egg. Once I came to pick up my dinner and the chef was not done making my food. I watched him crack an egg for my fried rice. He could have used pre-cracked, pre-scrambled eggs but he used a freshly cracked egg. I understand that it's a little more effort to use a fresh egg but I really appreciate the dedication to flavor. Yum!“

“The amount and quality of food for the price is the best around. I get two dinner meals worth of food for the price of a cheap lunch. The soup is an added bonus.

The dishes are authentic Chinese, but more like a grab and go than a sit down restaurant. Perfect for when you're short on time.“

“Great local Chinese restaurant. My go-to for Chinese food. Wish they would bring back water chestnuts into their meals, though.“

“I went here a few days ago and loved it, so much that I was browsing Google Maps while considering coming back and I noticed the average reviews and wanted to help out.

Very relaxing atmosphere while waiting for takeout. A bit of a wait but I could tell it was made fresh, not to mention others had ordered before me so I have no issues with the wait. The food was phenomenal. Delicious spring rolls and beef lo mein. And the food was still just as good reheated later that evening. Definitely worth your money, too. Very good prices for good quality food. Will be sure to come back!“

“Found this hidden gem randomly. Food is delicious and authentic. The server is super friendly but she does not speak English. You can order by number as shown on menu. Free soft drink comes with the dishes for each person. Cheaper pricing than other Chinese restaurants nearby. Will definitely come back to try more dishes!“

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

“My favorite place to bring people when they visit town. Incredible food, no frills. I'm a big fan of the communal aspect of ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and sharing them. Not much seating so make a reservation if you can. If you can make it for happy hour it's kind of a ridiculous deal. Head across the street for the arcade bar afterwards.

Update 11/6/25:
They nerfed the happy hour 😞 Instead of all happy hour items half off, they now hover around 25% off (depends on the item). Still a nice deal, but far less value. To be fair, the previous happy hour was kind of an absurd deal. Still recommend!“

“My Fiance and I LOVE this place! It's our favorite Chinese Buffet. The food is always good,and the staff are very nice. The place usually isn't too busy inside due to alot of carry outs, but don't let that scare you. There food is fully cooked and fresh. Also if you hate busy restaurants and want a calming environment this is the place for you! ?“
