" Wow! I can’t believe I spent so long driving past China 88 without trying it. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine warmth by the staff. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, and it was absolutely authentic – spicy and flavorful just like I remember from my trips to China. I also loved their crab rangoons, which were light and crisp. The portions were respectable and I can’t wait to go back and explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to China 88 for several years now. You can really tell how much the owners care about their food and customers. The dishes have always been consistent and fresh. I especially love their lunch specials; they offer an incredible value. My go-to is the Orange Chicken, it’s always perfectly cooked with vibrant flavors. I can say with certainty that this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Gainesville! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great takeout experience! The sesame chicken was crispy and you could taste the quality of the ingredients. The service was smooth; they got my order just right. My only issue was with the seating arrangements when dining in; it can get crowded. I think more spacious seating would enhance the experience even further! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at China 88 this past weekend was a treat! I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and was very pleased. The chicken was juicy and the sauce wasn’t overwhelming. The fried rice had great texture as well. My only complaint might be that the menu didn’t boast of many unique offerings. I’d love to see some more adventurous dishes, but I’m happy they keep the classics consistent! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at China 88! The fried dumplings were some of the best I've had. The staff treated me so well, and they remembered my order! Everything was fresh, and I could see them preparing the dishes right out in the open kitchen. My only concern was the slight wait time, but it was worth it for the great quality of food I received. " (*Curated Review*)

" We ordered takeout from China 88 last week and I must say, it really exceeded my expectations. The sweet and sour chicken was superb, crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the veggies were fresh. The only downside was that they forget my spring rolls, which was disappointing. Otherwise, I appreciated their attentive service and the overall experience was pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" We've been regulars at China 88 for years. The staff always greet us warmly and know our usual orders. The food is consistently tasty, though I must admit, sometimes it could use a tad more seasoning. Nonetheless, you can't beat the generous portions. The General Tso's Chicken is a family favorite, and our kids always gobble it up! " (*Curated Review*)
