Hong Kong Station

Love their ala carte noodle soup menu. The duck is also amazing. Very reasonable price and authentic.

Hong Kong station dinning experience overall was really good! The atmosphere was good! The service was also good and helpful! The food was really good it had great flavor and tasted like authentic Chinese cousin! The only complaint I had was that one of the plates of food the BBQ pork was really salty!
Overall I would be happy to come again!

Yo, this place is really really excellent. I’ve only been there for lunch, and I’ve only tried various custom noodle orders, but man are they good, quick, and affordable. The place is no-​frills from an ambience point of view, but highly authentic and yummy.

Really great authentic Chinese. Total comfort food. Have Vegetarian # 1 and crispy tofu. More than enough for 2 people and less than $ 20 total. A great hole in the wall gem.

Long time to wait!
Confused service!
Over cooked food!
others just tasty okay!
If you have nowhere to go, you can try

I can’t give it 5 because the service was lacking and confusing for ordering. Unless your a regular they assume you are very America and will laugh if you ask questions. No silver to be found.
The best place if you want duck or bbq pork. The salted crispy pork is another good one.
Again the service is odd and quite frankly rude if you aren’t a regular. But the food is worth it. Ps don’t order the crab Rangoon unless you want to be laughed at.

We ordered clams with black bean sauce, which was delicious! 4 stars on that! Kids enjoyed the roast duck as an appetizer. The fun noodles was a tad to greasy for my taste. Rice noodle soup with beef broth, simple but good. We love Asian style noodles. We’ll be back to explore more of the menu.

They seem to have a different waitress these days. I’m upgrading them to 3 stars. Noodle bowls are still cheap and yummy. We also ordered their spicy chicken wing which was also tasty. The service still seems spotty. Our spicy chicken wings came out after our noodle bowls, and after I reminded the waitress that we had ordered it. However, we didn’t have to wait too long for our food this time, and it came out at the same time so we could actually dine together.

This review is based on only one visit, but man was it a pretty terrible experience. If I return and have a better experience, I’ll update this review. As of right now, definitely a 2-​star experience.
Three of us walked in around 7:45 pm for dinner. One of my friends had eaten lunch here, and was excited to return. I had heard good things and was also excited to check this place out.
The place was empty. We were the only 3 people in the entire restaurant. It took 45 minutes for some of the food to come out. This doesn’t make a bit of sense, but it happened. My friend’s order of chicken feet too the longest to arrive, and for something he described as «alright», 45 minutes is far too long of a wait.
I ordered some spicy crispy chicken, which for some reason I thought was «bone-​in» chicken. Either way, the chicken was not spicy. It was overcooked. It was clearly deep-​fried in old oil, as it smelled and tasted faintly of donuts. It was a plate of overcooked, greasy dark-​meat chicken. Not worth $ 12. I picked through it, and my companions somehow chocked down the rest. It was an awful meal, and my friends made fun of me for clearly choosing a «loser» from the menu. It truly baffled all of us in it’s terribleness.
The other dish ordered was some beef in black bean sauce, which was also described as «alright».
Service was at first very friendly, but then terrible. When you wait 45 minutes for food, you expect the staff to check on you a few times. Nope, didn’t happen. Friendly folks, but not so great with customer service.
Also, styrofoam cups?! Really? Any restaurant using styrofoam in 2015 should seriously stop. And why are the wall covered in old beer memorabilia?!
The place was relatively filthy, too. Our table was sticky and the floor was really dirty. The bathroom was okay, and smelled oddly of Red Vines licorice.
Unfortunately, just a really terrible experience. If I return, I’ll definitely stick with the noodle bowls that others have recommended on Unilocal

This restaurant had been on my radar ever since I got back to Madison for the summer, and I’m so glad I got to try it before I left! It was definitely refreshing to see such an authentic Chinese restaurant pop up downtown, and I’m sad that I won’t be around to see how the business continues to grow.
I ordered the BBQ pork (cha siu) rice bowl, which came with a side of boiled bok choy. It definitely satisfied a craving I’d had all summer for traditional Chinese cuisine! Although the best part of the rice bowl was definitely the sauce that was drizzled over the BBQ pork and the rice, I enjoyed how everything went together.
They also have a variety of ‘street food’ style appetizer items, such as congee, BBQ pork/​beef/​chicken on a stick, and Chinese doughnut.
Hong Kong Station is definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area, although I do believe that they could use a few big improvements: 1) complimentary hot tea, which is pretty commonplace at any decent Chinese restaurant; 2) servers/​hostesses who can speak better english — way too much got lost in translation when we were ordering our meal, I was almost afraid that our orders were going to come out all wrong — this was particularly important to me because we had one vegetarian dining companion; 3) ix-​nay on the gaudy décor — I get that they are going for a ‘hole-in-the-wall’/‘dive-y’ type of appeal, but it just made the place look cramped. With these changes, it is easy to see HK station becoming a Madison favorite! :)

They have their new sign up so don’t say you can’t find it.
Ask my Spousal Unit and she’ll tell you that all Bob S. ever really wants to find is a noodle shop that serves big bowls of noodles with all sorts of goodies on them. I’m still working my way through their several noodle types and additions, searching for that transcendental bowl of noodle-​ness.
I ordered a spicy broth, egg noodle, baby bok-​choy with beef. The broth wasn’t very spicy but there are ‘Scoville’ additives available on the table for cranking up the heat. A tasty bowl but, I’ll keep working it. Service is variable, language confusion happens but, hey, it’s a new place, I’ll give them some time to work out the kinks. In the meantime, find me slurping noodles at HKS.
