" The new owners at China 88 have done wonders! The restaurant had a freshness to it that I had not noticed before. Every bite testified to their commitment to quality. I had the Sesame Chicken and it was great. Although I wish there had been a bit more sauce! The atmosphere was lively but simple, a perfect place for family dinners or takeout. Overall, glad to see a family-run business thrive in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves coming to China 88. We have consistently enjoyed their dishes over the years. The fried rice always hits the spot, and my kids love the sweet and sour chicken. There are many options available, and we appreciate the big portions, making it great value for the price. The staff is also super nice, which makes dining here even better! " (*Curated Review*)

" The other night, I had the pleasure of going to China 88 for dinner. This restaurant has a safe spot in my heart; I appreciate how they put love and care into their food. The Szechuan chicken was a highlight for me — it had just enough spice to make my taste buds dance. The staff was incredibly friendly as always, and the place has a nice cozy vibe. Definitely will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" China 88 is an absolute gem! I really love the family atmosphere, it feels so cozy. The food tasted like it was made with love. I ordered the beef with broccoli, and it was superb. The broccoli was perfectly cooked, and the beef was tender and juicy. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love coming here until my last visit. I ordered the fried rice, and it was essentially bland. No real flavor to it at all. However, the service was still good, and the staff was very friendly. I plan to give it another shot as I’ve had much better experiences here before. Hoping to revisit soon to try something different and perhaps get back to how great it used to be! " (*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*)
