The owners are absolutely amazing and we love their food so much. The prices are great. Once you order from here you’ll never order from any other Chinese place again!!“

“Best Chinese buffet, I have had, in the Madison area.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We very much enjoyed our meal 4-2025 I'd go there again.“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic food, the best crab rangoon I've had in years! Every dish we had was amazing. Good prices, great portions, family atmosphere. My new goto place for Asian food.

Dietary restrictions: My wife has Alphagal syndrome (allergic to all non-primate mammalian meat), and they accommodated beautifully. No reaction from her dish, so that means they are very clean and no cross contamination.“

“Really, really good vegetarian dishes. The General Tso's Tofu was absolutely killer. Also Vegetables in Hot Garlic sauce was delicious. I was able to sub a veggie roll for the free egg roll promo as well; the staff were accommodating. Delivery was faster than expected as well.“

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

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

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

“When I say the food was good, I mean it was GOOD. My boyfriend and i finished our plates with our stomachs full and the flavor was devine. Everything was seasoned beautifully and we got such a wonderful size portion for stuff and it was piping hot the minute we got it and felt fresh. The girl at the register was also super sweet! Definitely will go again“

“Very nice neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Great portions for the money. Fairly standard, but VERY large menu. Lots to choose from. Staff was very helpful and patient with first-time customers. Will definitely go back for take our next time.“

“They get 5 stars for being able to make food so delicious without adding a bunch of salt. Restaurants should be rated by the least amount of salt they use. The sodium amount in food is getting out of control nowadays, but of course, they wouldn't have gotten the whole 5 stars if it wasn't delicious.“

“Always a favorite when we are visiting near Park Street. My personals favorites include the coconut custard bun, cheese twist and sponge cake. Very reasonable prices too! Absolutely love this place and have introduced it to many people over the years.“

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

“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.“

“Great place my family and I just moved to Stoughton, this place is amazing I love there pork egg foo young amazing egg rolls and crab ragoon, great bang for your buck, the owners are so nice and friendly ? definitely come here often highly recommend :-)“

“My friends and I order from A8 China almost every time we are craving Chinese food. I had originally heard of this restaurant from my work place a couple of years ago and have been recommending them ever since. I have had nothing but great experiences with this restaurant. I've never dined in, but delivery is always quick and they're always incredibly friendly when I come to pick up. The food is always hot, delicious, and the portion sizes are excellent. The chicken is tender and doesn't have any gristle, which is something I've experienced with other restaurants. Plus, again, they do NOT skimp on any of the food! Every now and then, they won't have a specific drink if you order online, but they always substitute it for something else. A lot of the times, they'll include a drink with your delivery as a curtesy! I can't express how much I truly enjoy ordering from here and I highly recommend it if you haven't tried them yet. :)“

“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!“

“Came here after about 5 years, if you want good food freshly prepared by the owners who are extremely hard-working, you need to come here. I have been eating here for at least 7 years and the food quality has been amazing. They are no frills, hard-working people who make excellent food.“

“I have now eaten here 3 times and appreciated the food every time. What stands out beyond very tasty food is their attention to detail and service. We ordered a gluten free entree and added mushrooms (marinated so not gluten free) - they labeled the dish identifying what was gluten free and what wasn’t and just in case packaged the mushrooms separately.

I called multiple times with questions and they were always kind, patient, and provided genuine recommendations and insights. It is a pet peeve of mine when restaurants/servers don’t feel comfortable providing an opinion.

I would highly recommend. Also, my two children tried three different items and provided their approval as well (not a typical experience as of late).

Addendum 7/10/2025
I ate here with friends and tried the Dan Dan noodles. It was spectacular with so much flavor, spice, and not to make a dad joke out of it but what I imagine is the taste umami. I will be returning for this dish. The rest of the food and drinks remained excellent.“

“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! ?“

“I had the General Tso’s chicken with fried rice, so good! Also tried the Crab Rangoon, and it was delicious. Nice and crispy. The dinner portion was huge, definitely enough for two people. Highly recommend this spot, and the owners are incredibly nice!“

“You guys are the best! Dinner plans for tonight.“

“Everything was delicious!“
