I don't know why there are positive reviews for this place. We got delivery from them the other night. Remarkably unremarkable. Their Fragrant Beef is just wrong. Not at all spicy, and the beef is weird. Imperial Gardens East's version is MUCH better.The Triple Delight was mostly palm, and the shrimp that was in there, were tiny. All in all, meh.

Warning: This place is now called China Star. I suspect they had to send this place into the restaurant witness protection program because so many diners were looking to wipe them off the map.One of the worst of the worst kind of Chinese restaurants-in-a-box. The idea that this place calls itself a "Chinese" restaurant in a city which boasts several authentic Chinese places (the best of which, Ichiban, is not to be missed!) is a joke. The food is tasteless and full of veggie filler. The sesame chicken was, quite literally, inedible. It tasted like old socks.Nasty food brought to your door is still nasty food.Avoid this place like the plague.

Love Ruby! I actually remember going to the old location as a kid - and how great it was then. Same quality and service today.FUN TIP: Make sure to check out the water fountain, too. See if you can get it to work. Pretty cool.

If you are expecting typical and run of the mill Chinese take-out Ruby is going to rock your world. With a gigantic menu filled with the classics, as well as hard to find dishes, Ruby can cater towards any preference. With reasonable prices and generous portions you will certainly get your fill and a carry out container too. For those of you who are sick of overly sweet Crab Rangoon be sure to try Ruby's award winning recipe. Of course I can't forget to mention that Ruby is family owned and the staff are SUPER friendly, a trait found far too seldom in restaurants these days.

Best hot & sour soup in town! Everything else I've tried on their huge menu is also pretty darn good- and your food comes out on miniature boats!

food was OK. the vegetable spring rolls are clearly frozen, which seems to be typical here. any chinese resturants that use fresh food? the "chinese vegetable soup" was clearly made with chicken broth, though we mentioned being vegetarian and we were assured the soup was vegetarian. if you eat meat and don't care what you eat, you'll probably enjoy this place. otherwise, don't bother. actually, just don't bother. their food is barely passable at best. the search for decent chinese takeout in Madison continues.

This was the first time I ever just threw away food I had ordered. It was thoroughly disgusting. Brown overcooked slop. And it took twice as long as they said it would. I ordered Ma Po Tofu, and my wife ordered the Beef with Garlic Sauce. Both basically tasted and looked the same. Words don't really describe how gross this food was.

Ordered three dishes...Chicken & Broccoli, Beef & Broccoli and General TSOs. Chicken & Broccoli the chicken tasted no better than what I cook in my kitchen, Beef & Broccoli was ok, but some of the beef was tough and had weird taste. General TSOs was pretty good except I was expecting the chicken to be breaded and have more flavor. I also got one appetizer..BBQ beef and it was dry and tough. I asked for all the dishes to be spicy and there were not at all. So all in all, not terrible, but nothing to write home about.
