30 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.“

“I'm always on the lookout for a good Chinese restaurant. I had the Seafood Delight, and it did NOT disappoint. It was served hot, which is a first. I can usually start eating right away. I got my order within 10 minutes of ordering, and have so far waited 15 minutes for it to cool. THAT is awesome!
The rice was cooler and a smidgen bland, but I just mixed the rice into the sauce, and it was *mwah*- delicious. The meal was VERY flavorful, and reasonably priced for the amount you get. It has been the best Chinese I've had so far in Madison.“

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

“Absolutely amazing I visited a few months ago and tried this place and just moved here this weekend and just had to come back the Mongolian beef is AMAZING and the steam buns are delicious 😋 and the orange chicken was perfectly crispy very large portions definitely worth the price“

“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 🙄“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“I ordered takeout from this restaurant today, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh—you could really tell the food was made with care. The flavors were light and clean, not greasy at all, and I felt great after eating. From now on, whenever I don't feel like cooking, this will be my go-to for takeout.“

“Like one of the earlier reviews mentioned, I honestly do not understand the negative reviews, too. We just moved nearby to Great Wall. We used to live in a different part of Madison, and we were sad that we had moved farther from our old favorite Chinese restaurant, so we thought, why not try Great Wall? Turns out, it surpassed our expectations. We have been ordering the shrimp and broccoli, and it is so fresh, not greasy at all, and healthy. Great Wall has now become our go-to Chinese spot, and we plan to keep coming back for a long time. We no longer think about our old favorite Chinese restaurant. :)“

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

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

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

“Probably our favorite place to grab asian takeout. Their crab rangoon is unmatched. Good portion sizes, and always made right. Unfortunately, their A/C is broken. Feel terrible for them and have no idea how they spend all day cooking in there. It was a heat blast coming in from 85⁰ heat outside“

“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!“

“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“

“I've been coming here since I was a child, it has always been such a solid place to go to and the owners are wonderful people.

It is interesting to me reading some of these other reviews. Ive noticed customers being rude to the owners and selfish in peculiar ways that seem against normal interaction. The people working here are people. Its Chinese, there are vegetables. I am a bit tired of these types of reviews I am seeing under some restaurants.“

“Great food—we got the seaweed salad, pork buns, minced pork rice bowl, and lychee cocktail. Good service. We plan to come again :)“

“This was my first time ordering here, and I can't wait to order again! I had the crab rangoon, a spicy beef dish with broccoli and onions, and lo mein. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They even included what I think was a pork roll, and it was really good too.

The portions were generous - I got three meals out of one order, which made it a great value. The staff was kind, and the food exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back! I am a very selective eater as well, this was important to me.“

“Good food! Accesible, parking available“

“i absolutely LOVE this place! this is always my go to restaurant with my friends after classes and it never disappoints.🫰 the workers are super nice as well especially the woman with a ponytail and the guy with glasses :) will definitely recommend this place!!“

“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!“
