24 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 🙄“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“The takeout experience exceeded my expectations! The food was carefully packaged with no spills and kept warm well. 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!“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“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.“

“We were having a late dinner before closing time. We truly appreciate that they waited for us to enjoy our dinner before closing the doors. We appreciate the kindness and friendly services. Will do future orders when we come back to McFarland. Thank you. Food was freshly made hot and delicious.“

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

“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.“

“’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!“
