29 Best Chinese Restaurants near Monona

“Great food, good price. We will definitely go back. Everything was delicious.“

“One of the most reasonable Chinese restaurants around the Madison area. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Good service.“

“Chinese food in Madison is very hit or miss in my opinion. So I’m always on the lookout for different restaurants to try. China star was next on my list and it didn’t disappoint. Now it does have its differences than other Madison Chinese restaurants. I would compare this to a Chicago Chinese restaurant. The fried rice doesn’t have peas and carrots, and a lot of dishes have sprouts which is a plus in my book. The egg rolls were perfectly prepared and the egg foo young (complete with sprouts), was very fulfilling. The beef and broccoli were pretty basic but the meat was very tender and flavorful. Definitely would recommend and plan to go back to try more dishes!“

“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.“

“Found this gem on Google, can’t believe they have jianbing guozi ( a Chinese style savory crepe) , my absolute favorite , and they do such a great job making it so good, like what I had in China!
We ordered a few other dishes, everything came out amazing and the owners are just the kindest!!
Highly recommend!!“

“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 🙄“

“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.“

“I would highly recommend their noodle dishes. I ordered the beef noodle and was really happy with it. My boyfriend ordered a rice bowl, at a noodle place, and was disappointed as you would expect. Great service and they placed us by the window which kept us entertained watching an array of different people walk by.“

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

“This is an awesome Chinese restaurant I really enjoyed most of the time going there when I lived in Madison for 2 and half years! Chef Johnny became a friend every time I went there for lunch or dinner with friends! The food is just so delicious with different varieties, excellent place! I still go there whenever I go visit Madison Wisconsin! Really recommend this place!“

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

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!“

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

“The bacon fried rice is a gift!! I was having a bad day and I saw this listed on their menu. THANK YOU <3 for the comfort food. It was everything I needed. Everything you make is delicious also! I work down the street and order food all the time.“

“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“

“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.“

“For those living near Regent St, I definitely recommend giving this place a go. I always get their bento box for lunch once or twice a week, since it is delicious and has a big portion for its price (for me it is enough for 2 meals). Other than the bento box, their family-style Chinese food is also delicious. Great food, great service, and great location.“

“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.)“

“’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!“

“This is my go-to Chinese takeout. I usually get Pork Lo-Mein, General Tso's Two Tastes, and either Crab Rangoon or Pork Dumplings and every time it's delicious. The portions are large, and easily makes several meals for me and my wife. Very good food, very good value.

If you're looking for American-Chinese takeout, this is the place to go.“

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

“Everything was delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ?“
