This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Madison and compares favorably with my experiences with Chinese food (I am Chinese American).
Before moving out to DC, I was a Hong Kong Station regular, going every Wednesday evening for about a year. The child I babysat for loved hanging out with the restaurant owner's children and we almost religiously got the same dishes each time. (Please look at photos of same dish on multiple occasions...I take pictures every time I eat). There is also a review on Instagram on food4wu account.
The child would get the fresh roast bbq pork with rice and bbq pork buns (??) . The bbq pork with rice was not on the menu, but because she became a regular, the owners catered to her.
I usually get the spicy mala soup with a spiced egg and a veggie like baby Bok Choy. I prefer spicy, not Super Spicy. I have gotten several friends hooked on this combination and we could easily eat it once a week
I have tried other noodle dishes and enjoyed them as well. My significant other sometimes craves the shrimp nian gao (??). He also likes getting egg rolls.
The staff is admittedly slower and more disorganized than some might prefer, but over time you can build rapport and honestly the food can not be beat.
I plan to visit this restaurant during my visit back to Madison exclusively to fill my spicy soup craving! Definitely would recommend this restaurant!
