“1st time customerBeing a foodie, I continue to look for Chinese food that is worthy. I selected beef egg foo young because very few places can make it well. 4 patties, with sauce in a separate container. Enough to feed 2. The quality of the patties was A- and the sauce B+ (slightly sweet), that with a small amount of soy sauce corrects. I will be trying the shrimp egg foo young before moving on to other items. I asked the cook what his signature dish was, he replied General Chow Chicken. I am looking fwd to that.“
“Outstanding staff and delicious food. My favorites are orange chicken, lemon and sweet & sour chicken (both made with fried slice chicken breast), beef and vegetable stir fry with mandarin orange sauce, chinese salad, cream cheese puffs. Reasonable proces.“
“This restaurant understands gluten free! Just ask when you order if they can make your favorite entree without gluten. I'm very gluten sensitive and am happy to have found a Chinese restaurant that can accommodate my allergy successfully--I don't get sick and the food tastes great! My spouse is a fan too. For years we lived closer and didn't appreciate Imperial Garden as we should have, but now we have moved farther away. I've learned that it's worth the thirty minute drive. We usually opt for pick-up. The people at the front desk are friendly and efficient. My husband's menu favorite is the Governor's chicken (spicy), and I prefer their mild but delicious mushroom chicken. The beef & broccoli is hit or miss, but the egg drop soup is a nice surprise with more veggies than expected.“
“Had pork fried rice sweet and sour chicken. And crab rangoons. The fried rice was excellent although it was yellow which I'm not used to. The sweet and sour chicken was excellent. The chicken is very good cuts and the sweet and sour sauce is on the side so you get to decide how much you use. Well the rangoons were good the day of they could not be reheated well so I recommend eating them if you order them. Typical Chinese takeout atmosphere is less than friendly, but who cares when the food is good? It came fast enough that we didn't spend much time there anyway“
“I took my grandson for dinner last night and it was fabulous. We did the restaurant week offer and it was so good. The crab ragoon was the best I ever had, the soup dumplings were amazing and the dessert buns at the end with egg custard filling were so good. Will definitely be going back and enjoy other things on the menu also.Kid-friendliness: My grandson loved the décor and had to walk around and look at all the cool things they had on display and also absolutely loved the food.“
“My fiancé and I went for our first time trying hot pot then brought a friend for their first hot pot experience. Great flavor, helpful staff, and good portions for the price. The hot and sour Thai is my favorite!Vegetarian options: They made a vegetarian version of a soup base that usually is made with pork. It was great!“
“A friend recommended this and we decided to try it spur of the moment - and what an excellent decision. Everyone was so kind and nice. The cocktails were delicious- a bit strong but that’s a good thing! We started with pot stickers which were surprisingly crispy and full of flavor. I had the Dan Dan Noodles which I was told were were spicy - which they were! But in a good way. By the bottom of the bowl I was craving the spice. My husband got the Braised Pork rice which was amazing as well. I really appreciate the kindness and service here. I cannot wait to return!“
“After having several menu items I can say that this place is absolutely wonderful! The red bean bun is delicious, the shrimp fried rice is delicious. Everything I've had here has been great. If you're putting off going, give it a try when you can! It's really good :)“
“Delicious! Great price. Its also authentic, which is important to me and can be hard to find in the midwest. I don't love the ambiance here for dining in the restaurant, but the food is really, really, good. Go for the food. By the way, don't try to park next to it, you see it's downtown!“
“I tried the Hot & Crispy Chicken. Those crispy bits are fantastic. I thought eating the crispy lil bits from Popeyes chicken was something, be sure to try this! Lots and Lots of hot red peppers in the mix but its only a little spicy if your not chewing on the peppers. ?️“
“The peanut butter chicken and General Tso's Chicken were outstanding. The beef and broccoli was okay. Massive amount of food for the money. The young lady that appears to run the place was so nice. The place was pretty busy with a steady stream of customers, yet service was basically immediate. I was kinda inebriated and looked kinda scruffy, but she still treated me very well. Also, she was right out there to wipe off the table next to me as soon as the guy eating there finished. Will be back soon!“
“Great service, delicious food that came out piping hot, I ordered general Tso’s chicken special combination plate C9 my hubby ordered 322 beef with Szechuan style came out with lots of great vegetables and an eggroll and pork fried rice is included in that for a very reasonable price of $9.99. Most definitely recommend this place. Very sweet servers.“
“I’ve been coming here for 6+ months, it is definitely my go to place for Chinese, the cashier is very friendlyTheir pork belly is really good, melts in your mouthThey sometimes have eggplant which I personally really like, their orange chicken is amazing as wellToday I tried their sweet n sour pork ribs?? IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD 1000/10Love this place“
“Prices are unbeatable and the food was sooo good. We had such satisfying meals and the portions are so massive — they are definitely very generous and it lasted us a whole other meal. The interior and ambiance is so nice... we didn't plan to eat in the store but changed our minds because it's so nice and clean. Definitely plan on visiting often.“
“I love ramen. I love ramen way too much, as a matter of fact. After my go-to ramen place near campus went out of business, I was distraught. I've tried several other places, only to be entirely underwhelmed. However, my friend and I tried Umami yesterday, and I can say with certainty that it was some of the best ramen I have had. The noodles are made in-house, and it absolutely tastes like it (in the best way possible). Our server Sidney (apologies if that isn't how it is spelled) was the sweetest ever, and had plenty of suggestions for us. The ramen is a dollar or two more expensive than typical restaurant ramen, however, for the amount of meat they put in each bowl it is well worth it.My complaints are limited and greatly outweighed by the positive experience, but the only critiques I have are:- The bamboo in the ramen was a little bit too crunchy- Not a big fan of the extra charge for some spiciness, but it was pretty yummy- The N/A drinks are tasty, but not super worth the price for the amount you getThank you so much for a fantastic experience! Looking forward to coming back.“
“Some of the comments are petty and unnecessarily harsh. This restaurant is one of the few bastions of authentic Chinese food in the Madison area. I order from Nani's frequently and have never had an issue. I was really impressed by their dim sum offerings- definitely the largest and best quality in Wisconsin. I had been craving preserved egg congee and couldn't find it anywhere else. They have soup with fish air bladder which I have also never seen in Madison. If you nitpick about not having a three star Michelin experience, you don't have realistic expectations. Complaining about rising prices and "smaller portions"? The cost of raw ingredients doesn't stay the same forever! If you've ever been to SF, things are twice the price and half the volume. These prices are totally reasonable- The restaurant is just trying to get by. People are so short sighted- Before you leave a harsh review complaining about the "ambiance" in a casual family run restaurant, maybe think about the consequences. If you don't support restaurants in your community then they will go away. Remember not to complain when there are no decent Chinese food options left.“
“Cute little family owned spot making authentic delicious Chinese food! Everything they make is super tasty. Usually Lo Mein or Fried Rice at other spots is dry and hard to consume but not at this location, perfectly seasoned and doesn't need additional sauces at all. Love their special spicy chili oil they have. Also have 2 adorable kids! Order from their actual website and you can use many coupons they offer. Free General Tsos Entree with $40 purchase!“
“The food I ordered is so gooood. I never been to the restaurant and it’s been there for years. A friend suggested and I’m glad went. The food is amazing. I got theSzechuan tofu, small shrimp fried rice, and shrimp Singapore I’m telling you the hype is real.“
“I hadn't eaten all day and was craving some Chinese food. Walked the 4 minutes from my house to here, ordered the sweet and sour chicken combo, and everything was out in less than 10 minutes. They carefully put my food in a bag and offered extra condiments. Rice was flavorful and has a good mix of veggies. Chicken was crispy, and the eggroll was really good, and I usually hate eggrolls. I am very happy to live next to this and will definitely be coming here more often now.“
“Very friendly service and super fast food. Lots of indoor seating and the restaurant is very clean.I enjoyed eating off of real plates with real silverware.The portions were big, so we needed takeout containers. I was bummed to see horrible styrofoam offered, but glad to see that a regular more reusable plastic container was also available.Food was made well, but very mild“
“The food here is pretty darn good. If I had to consider the fact that this place is in Madison/WI, I'd give it a 5/5. But objectively speaking, it's above average. If you live here, it's probably one of the best you can get here.“
“One of the best take out chinese food places around. Yes it's better than other chaing jangs. I don't know why. The products are better and they are cooked better.Only complaint is I get over cooked lo mien if I don't specify it to be al dente. We always go to this one when we are hungering for some comfort food.“
“Stopped by here for a quick bite. The service was really fast and we were greeted and seated almost immediately.The place has nothing special to it decor-wise. Wouldn't say it's a fancy place or anything. Most of the other patrons seemed to be college students. I was there with some old college friends and family. Great atmosphere to just catch up over food.The menu seemed to have more authentic Chinese food rather than focus on the Americanized things like Crab ragoons and orange chicken. They had bull frogs, duck, and other options. Very nice selection. And very fairly priced.I had the Mongolian beef. We also got country style pork and beef fried rice. All were generously portioned enough to share. The food tasted great and I will definitely be going back.OverallIf you're looking for good Chinese food location, this is a great spot. Beware their food isn't exactly like the typical Chinese-American restaurant (but they do have those options too). Not a place that would impress a date on the first night. But definitely would be great to go with friends. Only down side was we never got water refills.“
“Excellent ambiance and some of the best ramen I've had in the Madison area. Excited to try their sushi next time, which also looked incredible. The atmosphere is excellent for a moderately informal date or special occasion, or just grabbing a bite with friends. The cocktails were creative and delicious.“
“Pretty standard Chinese food, it's good. Best on the north side. The rice is usually cooked perfectly. Besides Tai's on the west side, this is my favorite place to order Chinese from in Madison, because they have honey walnut shrimp. ?They also have very fast delivery when it's available.Overall, good place to order from.“
“11/23 update. Had the Dragon & Phoenix chef special and it was really good. I didnt think it was hot or spicy as they said it was.. but it was good. I will order it again. Quality Chinese for restaurant.Original post: It is classic Chinese food, but made well. Nothing special about it. I'm glad to have a Chinese restaurant near my little town.“
“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!“
“Amazing food. Excellent staff members, extremely professional. I appreciate this buffet very much it's different then the others I've tried before. Quality food for sure!! and I'm really mad that I live so far but when I visited Wisconsin last I needed to try it out and I was impressed. ?“
“Recently found this place and ate here a few times, could become my favorite restaurant on campus soon. The food is spectacular and they give good portions that last about 2 meals. I do wish that they included a drink in with their meal since the place is just a little pricy. The atmosphere inside is pretty friendly and is a great spot to chill out and take a break. Overall its a fantastic place, just really wish they charged a tad bit less or included a drink.“
“Dragon City has been around in Verona for years, and the food's always been good. My family of 6 often orders from here to get more than enough food for all 6 people, and I don't think we've ever had an order error, bad food, etc. Nothing like that. And regardless of anything else, it's always ready in 15 minutes haha.Vegetarian options: They have multiple options on their menu that are veggies only, and I believe they only use vegetable oil in their cooking.“
“Updating my review because this restaurant saved my life during the lockdown. They are fast, always get my orders right, and have some really delicious things on the menu. I think my experience below was uncommon. Their egg drop soup is delicious, their fried rice and noodle dishes are flavorful and delicious. They put a lot of pork and chicken into the dishes if you order one of those. Maybe don't get shrimp, but do eat here!Ordered the Mongolian shrimp and got literally 6 shrimp and a bunch of onions. Don't get shrimp from them; it's a rude rip-off. That is not Mongolian shrimp, even by low American standards.“
“I have been eating delicious Chinese food from here for a decade. The quality is consistent and high, the prices are reasonable, my order has never been wrong, the staff are friendly, the service is prompt, and did I mention the food is delicious? No need for another Chinese takeout spot - this one checks every box for me!“
“This 3.5 star small restaurant deserves at least 4.5 stars. The people are friendly and the food is amazing in flavor. I typically don't like any sort of soup that's not ramen or lo mein, but the beef haus noodle soup was packed with flavor and the beef was sooo tender! I also ordered chicken steamed dumplings and shrimp dumplings, and both were so delectable to eat. I'll admit, i came by myself, so I ordered a lot, yet I have never been happier to go home with a box full of left overs. I can't wait to eat this meal again tonight and in the future! 110% will come here again and bring friends!“
“Food was pretty good. I think we were the only people trying the Chinese food on a Thursday night. We saw many people doing pick up. I'd suggest their black pepper chicken and governor's chicken. Due to the lack of people the buffet food was just slightly more stale but that's kind of expected for buffets. Worth a trip if your looking for a buffet in Waunakee. For desserts they also have ice cream available.“
“We got the crispy chicken dumplings (#1a) and the fresh pork spicy cat ear noodles (#28). The cat ear noodles were SO GOOD - I especially liked the wood ear mushrooms in it, they were absolutely delicious! This food was so delightful. I’ve heard good things about Taigu and wanted to give it a try myself, and I am very happy with the experience. The portions were large, so one entre can feed 2 people. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! So good!!!“
