Asian Dining at its best. Simple, thoughtful, and genuine. This place will suck you in with its charm from the moment you enter and will send you back out into the world refreshed and recharged.

Ate here for the first time during lunar new year celebrations because my daughter loves lion dances and they happened to host one. Unfortunately, the food left something to be desired. To be clear: this is American Chinese food. As such, the rice is low quality, everything comes coated in a heavy corn starch sauce, and you get canned bamboo and mushrooms in a lot of the dishes. That might be “good Chinese food” to some people, but not me. Everything was way too salty and that was the only flavor, lacking in the complexity and umami you get in a real authentic Chinese restaurant. We ordered 3 dishes (no drinks, no appetizers) and it cost us almost $100 — that’s a terrible value for mediocre food. You can get much better food at dozens of other restaurants in town for less money, so we will not be going back.

I’ve been dining here for over 20 years, and it’s never been anything short of wonderful. The food is consistently delicious and served hot, just the way it should be. The service is always prompt, and I’m greeted with kindness every time I walk through the door. It’s rare to find a place that delivers such warmth and consistency year after year—I always leave feeling satisfied and appreciated.

This place has some classic good Chinese food with plenty of vegetarian option for those who don’t eat meat. The hosts are endlessly accommodating and very friendly. We were seated quickly, ordered promptly and I couldn’t believe how quickly the food came out. The vegetables in the dishes are all so fresh and delicious. Crab Rangoons were absolutely delicious. We came here on a Badger game day and there was plenty of space. This place is truly an under-recognized neighborhood gem.

“This is the best Chinese I’ve ever had” is what my Dad says every time we come here. We don’t live in Madison, but when we visit we come here every time, it’s now a little family tradition. There are so many vegetarian options. The general Tso’s Tofu is the perfect texture, it’s crunchy on the outside and flavorful and juicy on the inside. the cream cheese puffs are a must, let me repeat that the cream cheese puffs are a must! Also the wontons and soups are out of this world. The portion sizes are huge. And all of the staff are so personable, funny, friendly, and treat you just like family.

I love Hong Kong Cafe!!! Cute little Chinese restaurant run by a sweet Chinese couple who are both so nice and provide excellent service. The food is good and the portion are generous. Have been there twice now for lunch and had a wonderful experience both times. They offer a nice selection in the menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Currently they have a holiday promotion, where is you spend $50 you get a $10 gift voucher to use later.
Go check this place out for yummy and fresh Chinese food.

Skip it. Outrageously priced and the most revolting attempt at a mai tai I’ve ever experienced. Tasted like blended orange juice and something pepperminty. Food was decent but the $24 tip the lady added to the bill herself was absolutely not.

This used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant, but that changed when they started automatically adding a 20% gratuity — even for just two people. It’s already overpriced, and because of this policy, my friend and I have stopped going there.

Smile You’re on Camera 🙂 Welcome to Hong Kong Cafe! Upon entering the restaurant I found my group, and noticed we were seated near a live security camera feed for the exterior of the restaurant…..I’ve read a few reviews stating this place has the best Chinese food in Madison. WHAT!?!?! The food arrived suspiciously fast while my dish: A Shrimp, Pork, Chicken combo arrived with the quality, and taste of a $5 Lunch special in any random Milwaukee Chinese American restaurant, yet featured a $15+ Price Tag. I did also try a few other shared table dishes which yielded very similar results. The one thing this restaurant has going for it: The upbeat attitudes of the employees.

Over priced, plus an automatic 20% tips added into bill for a casual dining place. with nothing special. Food was simple, which you can also get from Panda Express, and were too salty and the lady brought out a big bowl of rice when we did not order it, as we had already ordered fried rice, mind you a bowl of rice cost $15! A cheap trick to charge you more like the auto tips on the bill. As i have never seen beansprouts in fried rice before, some concoction!
