Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Probably one of the best Chinese meals I've eve had! Chicken fried rice is incredible!!

Bumping them up a star for seriously stellar take-out service. They're efficient, speedy (never more than 10 minutes during the week) and so darn lovely when I pop in for my pick-up. Food is piping...PIPING hot when I get it home, though my drive isn't too far. After having it several times I can highly recommend the crispy pan fried noodle with every protein imaginable, just ask that they don't fry the noodles to death. They sort of know me by noodle now, "Oh.... not so cripsy, yes, we have your order ready."

Former Orient House team resurfaces at last! Atmosphere is under sparse, but that's good, because your food deserves your undivided attention. You should eat here right now. And come back often.

Best Chinese restaurant in Madison! Orange chicken, friend rice, dumplings, and lo mein are scrumptious. Service is extremely friendly and excellent!

This is a step up from your average Chinese restaurant. You can really taste and see the quality of the ingredients they use. I go to other places and it's obvious they just thawed out a frozen bag of veggies and threw it in the dish. Everything tastes fresh here. I originally went to get a quick fix for a Chinese craving and left very impressed. The House Special Fried Rice is a little spicy, aromatic, and totally addicting. Their streamed dumplings seem a little sturdier than the ones I've gotten elsewhere. I really enjoy the ho fun (wide rice noodle) dishes. Delectable flavor with tender noodles. The prices are average for the neighborhood, for a one person order maybe $8-12. I definitely recommend this place if you want Chinese, but are tired of low quality ingredients or sloppy preparation. They get it done right and are friendly to boot.

I brought my son here, expecting your usual fried Chinese food for a quick lunch and I was totally blown away! Everything was made to order and their sweet and sour chicken had a wonderful breading and great sauce! I'm surprised this place wasn't packed!
(5)Danny M.
Incredibly consistent and very good Chinese food! All fresh, seemingly not frozen so even the Sweet and Sour Chicken seems healthier than those counter only joints. Sesame Eggplant is dynamite; its sauce goes great on any of the other dishes. Sweet and Sour Fish excellent too. Very friendly young family running the place and we're really grateful to have great Chinese cuisine in the neighborhood!!

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Recommend large bowl noodle soups. Garlic eggplant excellent. Fast service.
(5)Bill S.
Tried a few other Chinese take out places before I tried this one. Make this place your first try, think you'll be glad you did. The food was fresh and the portions were huge. The vegetables were steamed well and the chicken was great! Egg rolls were good too! I think they are made with rice paper, not the wonton wraps.
(4)Marie M.
By far the best, hot, delicious delivery food I've EVER gotten. Very quick, nice and tasty. Always recommend it to people -- you need to try it now.

The takeout is ready very soon, just about ten minutes. The food is very good, the portions are large, and the prices are quite reasonable. Good vegetarian options as well. Edit: as I've explored the menu over multiple visits, I've founds lots of things I like but quite a few that I did not like. Good: eggrolls, crab rangoons, chow ho fun, lo mein, Szechuan style string beans (my favorite). General Tso's chicken. Not good: The sweet and sour chicken (bland, completely plain fried chicken served with that orange sauce on the side), hot and sour soup (I didn't like the flavor or texture).
(4)Anne D.
Some fresh crunchy veggies added to the common fare made our dishes more enjoyable. Fast takeout!

Heard about Magic Wok opening on Atwood so my husband and I decided to give them a try. We were pleasantly surprised. We started with Wonton Soup and Eggrolls. The soup was delicious and there was plenty for both of us and enough for a couple of bowls at home. The eggrolls were crispy and very flavorful. Enjoyed it a lot. I had the Orange Chicken, but was skeptical because it's usually a hot and spicy dish, but they told me they would do it without the heat. It was amazing, perhaps the best Orange Chicken I've had anywhere. The portions are large, so I brought enough home for four lunches. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his Lo Mein. We can't wait to go back.
(5)Jennifer S.
I was so skeptical of this place, honestly. But after three very very tasty orders, I have to say that it's a great place. The people behind the counter are great, the portions are very large, and, most importantly, the food is just good. My favorite so far is the house special fried rice. A nice medium spice, lots of ingredients... I just can't stop eating it. When you call for pick up it's just.... "ten minutes!"

I was so very skeptical. Magic Wok took over the worn and drab Wong's Garden. Wong's Garden once was a great place to eat. For the last few years, the food was awful. I was so excited to read that the business had been sold and the restaurant would serve Chinese food. The restaurant seemed brighter and cleaner. Maybe it was a fresh coat of paint but whatever they did, it sure helped. Good Chinese food is a very personal matter and can span a variety of presentations. I love the old school Chinese, moo-shu, mapo, kung pao, if the food is cooked well. Dishes should have loads of veggies that still have some crunch and sauce with plenty of flavor. I also love the more authentic Chinese food that you find at Ichiban on Park St. Magic Wok was the former; egg rolls, won-ton soup, lo mein and plenty more. I visited Magic Wok with two of my neighbors. One is amazingly picky. We all put the owner through her paces, asking a million questions and making special requests. Thank goodness it wasn't busy. She was patient, informative and friendly. Her husband was in the back doing the cooking and he did a damn good job I had the orange tofu. The tofu was lightly fried, crispy on the outside soft in the center. It came with broccoli (still crunchy) and a lovely orange sauce. It was really good. We also ordered the Stir Fried Pan Fried Egg Noodles with Chicken. The noodles were super crispy topped with chicken and loads of veggies and a full-flavored brown sauce. Over time those crispy noodles soaked up that yummy sauce. We wished the dish came with a little more sauce. Finally, we also ate the Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken was plentiful as were the veggies. The peanuts added some crunch and salt to this spicy dish. It too was a hit. I love my neighborhood, replete with good food. I am a fan of Ha Long Bay and Wah-Kee but I am happy to have a good Chinese restaurant right within my reach. I wish them the best and encourage them to keep up the good work. I shall return.

3 stars for the friendliness of the staff, quick delivery time, fair pricing, and overall quality of ingredients, but I felt that my meal lacked flavor and spice. Ordered the garlic eggplant, fried rice, and an egg roll for delivery. The food came very quickly (within 30 minutes) and the woman who took my order on the phone was very warm and friendly. The fried rice was the highlight of the meal--decent texture, not too salty, and loaded with fresh-tasting vegetables. The egg roll was nothing special--it was pretty bland, didn't have a lot of vegetable variety in it, and I got zero nutty flavor from it, but it was crisp and not greasy, so that was a plus. The eggplant in garlic oil was not a hit for me at all. Eggplant was overcooked and mushy, the oil was overpowering and had zero garlic flavor, and though the dish was advertised as hot and spicy, it had no heat whatsoever. Not impressed. I probably won't order from them again unless I'm in a pinch and I want delivery Chinese food quickly. There are much better places in the Madison area--it's not worth ditching those places to give Magic Wok another try.

Egggh... mediocre. Bland, white-folks-style Chinese-esque food. Nice people, I'm sure, and affordable. But... boring and flavorless. I won't be ordering from this place again. I can make better myself.
(2)Jocelynn R.
The food is really good but the service leaves a lot to be desired. My husband and I sat for 30 min for our appetizer, waited an hour for our food, waited 30 min for a refill on our drinks, then waited another 30 min for the check when my husband gave up and took our left overs up to the counter himself and asked for the check.

Holy food goodness!! My friend and I have been on a mission to try all the Chinese restaurants in the Madison area, and this one was a PLEASANT surprise! The meat quality is very good, and the prices aren't bad at all! We were in food heaven! The wait staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is inviting, and we didn't feel awkward at all for being the only customers! We were actually surprised to be the only ones, considering how good it is. So everyone - go to Magic Wok, you won't be disappointed! PS - my fortune told me I'm alluring, so they really treat you topnotch here. They feed you up, get you a little fatter, and still boost your confidence. I'm in love.

Confession: I am most likely to seek out Chinese food when I'm sick, or feel sickness coming on. So today was the perfect day to try a new place. I was the only customer at 3:45 pm, and was warmly welcomed. I ordered at the counter, but decided to eat in. I used the restroom (basic but clean, with really nice smelling hand soap) and my food was ready when I came out, moments later. I was invited/instructed to take a seat at a table in the raised front window area, which was perfect. I first noticed that the hot and sour soup (my cure-all) was served in a real Pyrex/glass bowl, not plastic. Yes!!! It was piping hot and full of very silky strips of tofu, homemade? Not a lot of mushrooms, and light on the vinegar flavor, but full of egg shreds, julienned carrots and plenty of heat from spices. They don't have shrimp or pork egg rolls, only chicken or plain veggie. I got one order of each and they were done perfectly, not greasy, with a nice crunch. I would describe the flavors of everything as comfort food. Nothing too original or interesting, but very enjoyable and soothing. I preferred the veggie roll to the chicken, just my personal preference. The next table's food smelled heavenly when it arrived, I'll get a meal next time I come. It was plenty warm enough inside on a gray cold day, with a dimly pleasant lighting level and nondescript instrumental background music at a comfortable volume. The interior is basic diner, with a few Chinese items thrown in so you know where you are. A huge red statue of Buddha at the entry is a fun touch. Random, but I really liked the front door. It's clearly original to this historic Atwood building, antique with the patina of age and so many thousands of hands opening it over the years... The waitress checked in unobtrusively to see if everything was OK at the right time, and it was. My dishes were removed promptly and politely as I finished with them. Six bucks and change before tip, and I left full, warmed, and feeling better. Can't ask for much more.

I ordered delivery -- spring rolls and spicy garlic eggplant. The food arrived hot and on time. Spring rolls were good, very crispy, and flavorful. The texture of the eggplant was good, but a tad too spicy since I'd selected medium and the heat overpowered any garlic flavor. My major complaint was that the eggplant was just too oily. It's fine and I appreciate the delivery option, but not really a draw.

This is the best Chinese I've had in Madison so far. The food can be a bit salty but that's par for the course with most Chinese food. We usually order egg rolls or crab rangoons as appetizers. We've had the general Tso's chicken, moo shu chicken, lo mein, fried rice and chicken with cashew. All are made well. I especially like the Double Woked pork belly and the Stir Fried Pan Fried Egg Noodles. Some of the other Chef's specials look good as well but we haven't gotten a chance to check them out yet. The prices here are not as cheap as some of Madison's other Chinese restaurants but the quality definitely is high. We've never sat down in the restaurant to eat but I've gone in to pick up the food a lot and the staff is very friendly. One of the women even remembered me by what I usually order. They also deliver for a small fee. I definitely recommend this place.

If you loved the food at Orient House before the ownership change, this is the place for you. The cook and his wife were the back of the house at the old Orient House. Tried them for the first time tonite and were recognized immediately by the wife who tends the front of the house. Here's what we just had: Chicken with Sweet Corn Soup is great with lots of chicken in the rich broth. The Hot and Sour soup needed a little salt but had lots of veggies, tofu and cloud ear mushroom. If you ask for a big bowl of it, it is BIG! The steamed dumplings were some of the largest I ever saw, filled with a golf ball size helping of ground pork well cooked and seasoned; the wrapper was not thick and doughy like many dumplings and pot stickers. And there were six dumplings instead of an odd amount, making sharing as a couple nicer. WARNING--the portions are HUGE for the entrees. The Moo Shu chicken had lots of chicken and crisp veggies, not too wet to keep the wrappers together. The wrappers did not seem to be house made and were thicker but were definitely not the tortilla wrappers Orient House uses now. It comes with four wrappers but there is enough Moo Shu for at least double that number. They also bring you a nice amount of white rice to help you finish the remaining Moo Shu. I had the Orange Pork which came with an overly generous amount of stir fried pork in the sweet brown orange sauce with slices of orange peel in case you are into that (my peel wasn't bitter, either). It also included broccoli florets which were crisp and bright green. We also ordered the Sautéed Green String Beans from the vegetable section of the menu. The beans were large and crispy with that same light sauce as Orient House but without the ground pork. A definite keeper. One of the things we used to enjoy about Orient House were the traditional Chinese dishes that reminded me of the wonderful food on my trips there. I was devastated when I could no longer get my Scrambled Egg and Tomato. So taking my old OH menu with me, I asked if the cook could make some for me and I was thrilled to again have a source for one of my favorite dishes. It is just the cook and his wife running the restaurant so it may take a little longer for service but the food is definitely worth the wait. I was told if we wanted to have any of the old traditional dishes prepared, just let them know ahead of time and they will be sure to have the ingredients, so that's exactly what we intend to do. While the traditional dishes are not on the menu, from our experience ordering off the regular menu tonite, the food is high quality and well worth the trip to the east side. The restaurant has been brightened up and is more inviting now, although the street front could use better branding so you know what you're looking at. All in all, this will be a regular stop for us now and can't wait to tell our friends that we can once again dine on excellent Chinese fare at Magic Wok. Give it a try.

Most authentic Chinese available for delivery in Madison. Not your typical strip mall joint!

I love Chinese food. Well, I really love Egg Foo Young, and I order it nearly every time I eat Chinese. This was probably the best Egg Foo Young I've ever had. It was outstanding, and a huge portion. I will definitely be back.

I have been searching for good Chinese food in Madison for years. The other places have been meh. I am so glad a friend recommended Magic Wok. The prices are extremely reasonable and the quality of food is great! The food is always fresh and never tastes like it was just reheated. The soup is spicy and the egg rolls are my absolutely favorite thing. I always order an extra one. The staff is extremely courteous and service has never been slow. Keep in mind I do come here atleast once a week so if the service was bad I would have experienced it by now. I love this place and i love that it is never crowded. My single complaint would be that now that the weather is colder the restaurant is cold as well. I would love for them to turn up the heat...otherwise...this place rocks!!
