888 Chinese Restaurant

Actually it was a delivery order. The veterinary clinic that I work for orders from them often. They are always gracious and the food is good. Most of the time, they actually get there faster than what they say it will take. This is a very good thing when you have a bunch of hangry veterinary technicians.

I ordered take out from this restaurant and it was terrible. I ordered the General Tso's chicken and the meat was fatty, and honestly just gross. The service arrived when expected so that was great. But c'mon, it's hard to mess up chicken and fried rice.

Let's start with the waiter cause he was great and deserves a shout out. Romeo was very nice. He was attentive, quick, and very helpful. I stopped by this place on a whim and I really liked it. It's surprisingly large and there was a decent crowd for a Wednesday at 6 pm. The inside was clean and well maintained. The food came out quickly and was right. You'll find all your American Chinese fare here including Kung Pao chicken, sesame chicken and more. I ordered the hot and sour soup. I thought the small size was a generous portion for what I paid. It came with fried wontons. I ordered the mango chicken and was pretty satisfied based on what I expected. The mangos were slightly underripe but I enjoyed the dish. Again the portion size was generous. The meal ended with a sliced orange. It was a nice touch that I really appreciated. The orange was tasty and expertly peeled. The kind of thing you expect to find in a bougie brunch place. This place is a great value in an age when that is incredibly rare. I'll definitely be back someday in the near future on a day when my wallet and stomach are light.

Im giving this place 5 stars because they exceed normal expectations of most general Chinese take out restaurants. Service has always been good here, they don't kiss your ass but they are patient and diligent. There fried rice , lo mein, egg roll , spring and soups are all good and very consistent. ( when I say good , I mean just that. Not great , fantastic or life changing. It is good for the price you are paying) and the inside is always cleaned and maintained.

Had dinner last night. I had a Hunan beef special and the triple delight special. Also, appetizer had the.the cheese puffs. Service is good very attentive. Price is reasonable.

I love that they offer their sauces to buy separately. The garlic and general tsos sauces are so delicious, and they aren't very expensive either. The food is pretty consistently delicious and is more or less your standard Chinese food. I haven't had anything bad from there yet. We've only ordered from Uber eats, so I'm not sure what it's like inside or how the service is.

I've dined at 888 - the original location off Woodridge - since 2005. I'm not sure when this newer Wayside @ 45 location opened, but it's definitely an upgrade (though I liked the original cafe's quaint charm). There are a handful of 888 ("triple eight") locations across Greater Houston. This is where we usually dine in or order delivery. They're best known for their steamed or fried chicken or pork dumplings. Get the #8 chicken in hot sauce dumplings (only comes in fried). It's a must for any order. From there, they have all of your usual Chinese cafe staples, including some szechuan dishes. I like that they also featured a vegetables and bean curd section of their menu; and their house specialties include whole red snapper, snapper, red fish and other atypical items you'd see on a the menu at a casual Chinese cafe. Insider tip: There is a "Chinese menu" that you can request. It has more items that you won't find on the regular restaurant menu. It's all in Cantonese with brief descriptions in English. We usually get #20 on the Chinese menu (diced chicken with hot pepper). https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/888-chinese-restaurant-houston-4?select=_B74mJUT4W7AS1gjskLG0QSince this cafe is in Wayside, the TVs display telenovelas (love that). But the music needs some work. Whatever streaming serving they use has far too many commercials - they should upgrade that for a more pleasant dining experience. Just a thought. :)

We ordered the Sichuan beef and egg rolls to split. Excellent food as always! I've been several times, but this is my first review.I'd suggest the cilantro chicken as well - it's actually mostly leeks with the chicken, but it is excellent!

One of the better take out Chinese places. Food is fresh and always hot, never overly seasoned. Had the egg drop soup which was amazing and the sweet and sour chicken which wasn't the greatest but was better than most places. They have lunch specials during the weekday!

Placed order and was missing food and utensils. Contacted location and was basically told to "f off" and hung up. Poor Customer service and I blame the manager as she made the decision before hanging up. Will never order from there again.
