" Although the price was low and the quantity was high, I felt that the food at Eighty-Eight lacked substance. The kung pao chicken seemed too oily, which made it hard to enjoy. The woman who answered the phone was dismissive which led to a frustrating ordering experience. With better preparation and staff training, this place could be more appealing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Eighty-Eight. The food was fairly edible, but it left much to be desired. I hoped the recipes were authentic, but that just wasn’t the case. The woman answering calls was rude and dismissive, which truly put a damper on the experience. I'm less likely to return unless major changes happen in service and menu offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Eighty-Eight Chinese after hearing mixed reviews. I expected a delightful experience, but I was let down. The lo mein didn't taste fresh, and it seemed more like what I might find at a low-end takeout joint rather than a true Chinese restaurant. Furthermore, the service was horrendous; it felt as though they were bothered by my order. This will definitely not be my go-to place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant feels like a last resort rather than a destination. The food does not have that authentic feel and the service represents the worst of takeout experiences. I’ve had better meals from places that are far more respectful to their clients. I highly doubt I will be returning unless there are huge changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Seemed like a good choice for lunch, but my visit to Eighty-Eight Chinese left me wanting more. The pork fried rice tasted elementary at best, and the crab rangoon was mostly cream cheese with little crab. The service could use refinement; I felt rushed and the phone call was abruptly ended mid-order. There's potential, but not much willingness to coax it out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried some amazing Chinese restaurants, but Eighty-Eight is not one of them. The food was forgettable at best, and I had a difficult time connecting with the service staff. The portions were commendable, but that's where the positives end for me. If you value service and authentic cuisine, I recommend searching elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I had checked reviews before deciding to try Eighty-Eight Chinese. The flavors in my meal were practically non-existent, and the only highlight was that my portion size was decent. The customer service was unfriendly, and I felt more like an inconvenience than a customer. I will not be back. " (*Curated Review*)
