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.

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.

This is the best Chinese food in Madison. Get the shrimp toast and an entree and wash it down with a 7 on 7. Thank me later.

Excellent service! However the food is so under-par. It does not taste bad per se, it is just not tasty. Appetizers and beef dishes are thrown together, and stir fry tastes just like any standard Am-Chinese takeout restaurant—except this restaurant seems to be more catered to dine-in customers.

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!

Our experience was very unpleasant. This place has a $18 minimum per person dining in, which we were made aware of while placing the order for veggie soup ($10) and dumplings ($10). We were not that hungry to spend $18 per person, so we decided to leave. The waitress offered us to takeout instead, and we stepped out for a bit while they prepared the takeout order. When we came back, the person attending said “Next time, I expect you to pay in advance before placing a takeout order”. I’ve never had such an experience in Madison, and have placed order on phone and paid while picking up multiple times. Its safe to say that there’s not going to be a next time for me at Hong Kong cafe.

Terrible service. Had hair in food and didn’t take food off bill. Then proceeded to take the rest of the good food away without asking. Then blamed the customers for not saying anything. Then when spoke owner he was extremely disrespectful and add a gratuity amount without saying anything beforehand. It’s in the menu on the bottom of a page. Worst Valentine’s Day experience ever. He said it was a me problem I didn’t see the page of the menu. As well refused to get us water when our food was spicy and had to wait for next person to help. Way too expensive for the food as well.

I saw some sort of bug in my food as well. My son insisted it was a roach but wasn’t sure wether it was or not. It’s disgusting, I went and told the owner and he didn’t even apologize or try to explain the reason why, he laughed and practically said I was lying.

I own 3 restaurants and this place is stealing from people. This man is stealing from people. There is no reason why you should spend 25 dollars for a mediocre Chinese dish.
