22 Best Chinese Restaurants near Waunakee

“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 🙄“

“Excellent buffet with all the usual entrees. It's only a 16 minute drive from Middleton, and is worth it. General Tso chicken was really worth a second helping. Egg rolls/spring rolls were very tasty, as were dumplings. Enjoyed scoops of ice cream for dessert. Best part? Buy five buffets, get one free punch card! Our family of five earned one free buffet just for dining here.“

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

“Just two of us on a Thursday evening. The food was delicious and came to the table piping hot. Family size portions were very generous. Service was excellent.The place was very clean. Our favorite was the Triple Delight. Will definitely dine here again and also try carry out.“

“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.“

“A newly opened restaurant run by a couple from Tianjin. Many northern Chinese food options. Easily reachable form UWMadison campus.
Roujiamo was presented in a unique way. Nothing similar to Shan’xi style.
Lamb stir fried noodles was good. But I expected it to be noodles with soup.
They offer good hot soy milk, a bit too sweet for me but would probably cater to those who love sweet soy milk.“

“Excellent food and hospitality! Been a favorite since I had my first taste in Middleton…“

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

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

“The best scallion pancake I have ever had. It was perfect. There are not a lot of vegetarian options but enough. Wish there was a vegetarian option for the Dan Dan noodles. Signature cocktails come in fun glassware. Our server was incredible. She answered all our questions, advised on parking, and kept her cool despite being the only server on an unexpectedly packed Monday. The patio is adorable.“

“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.“

“Incredible customer service. I had an issue with my order and they refunded everything, including the delivery fees, without hesitation. It was more than I asked for, but it shows they really care about their customers. The Egg Drop soup is great!I’ll be a returning customer for sure!“

“We had a department party for 17 people that we needed at 11:30am and they open at 11am. They went above and beyond for us. Food was phenomenal and the service was expectational. I am not able to put in words the gratitude I have for all they did. Thank you so much!!“

“Big portions, fast and delicious“

“Best Chinese food in the state.“

“The dim sum menu is absolutely phenomenal. When we ordered, our server was very attentive and the food was amazing, easily the best chinese restaurant we've eaten at in Madison. The atmosphere is very calm and laid-back but not sterile; you don't feel uncomfortable holding a normal conversation, but you also aren't struggling to hear anyone over music or other loud conversations. The food itself was incredible, and even though we ordered and shared every dish as a family, there was not a single dish that even one of us disliked.

When we went, there was also a car meet which they seem to host every Thursday, which we had a lot of fun checking out after dinner. We are definitely coming back, and I can't recommend this restaurant more highly at this price point if you're looking for dim sum on the west side.“

“Absolutely delicious! I ordered the shrimp stir-fried noodles with fresh broccoli and bell peppers, and every bite was packed with bold flavor. The shrimp were plump and juicy, the noodles perfectly seasoned, and the veggies fresh and crunchy. Generous portion, great value, friendly service. Highly recommend — I'll definitely be back!“

“Celebrated my birthday here with a family of 5 on a Tuesday. We ordered a ton of food, and although it was hit-or-miss, the honey short ribs, red bean paste buns, and garlic baby bok choy were incredible. However, many staple dishes that we normally order at Chinese places were just okay. For example, the xiao long bao were juicy but needed more flavor, the fried dough sticks were inconsistent in texture, and the beef tripe, spare ribs, and chicken feet were bland or had an off-taste. They do offer a variety of condiments, but as a big fan of Chinese cuisine, I usually only add soy sauce and chili oil to my dumplings, the other dishes shouldn't normally need it, but these did. That said, the total cost for how much we ate was a decent price. They have a large selection on their menu, so give them a try! :) The lady working there was super nice too and attentive, there were lots of take out throughout.“

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

“We were craving takeout tonight and decided to try a new place, we live on the north side. We ordered general tso’s chicken, crab rangoons, chicken teriyaki and got a free order of pork fried rice through their online portal. We might’ve just found our go-to takeout place. The food was very fresh and tasty, I was surprised that even the fried chicken had a crunch and the sauce on it had a unique flavor. Super happy with the quality and price and would recommend trying this restaurant!“

“Best Chinese food I've had in Madison. The lo mein is life-changing.“

“I took a gamble and it payed off.
They offered samples non-aggressively and they were actually good.
I tried both the orange chicken and the pepper chicken and rice for only like 12 bucks.
The food was delicious.
I prefer this food court.
I am still full hours later and very happy 😁“
