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.\n\nI 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.\n\nThey also have a variety of 'street food' style appetizer items, such as congee, BBQ pork/beef/chicken on a stick, and Chinese doughnut. \n\nHong 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 decor - 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! :)
