Bland. How can hot and sour soup and hot garlic chicken be BLAND?! I have never had such bland Chinese food in my life. It was nursing home bland. I didn't even save my leftovers. read more

Very good food. I ordered the twice cooked pork and the beef and scallops. Both were delicious!

Food is good and hot. Love the call ahead ordering online. They make great adjustments to my preferences.

88 China is my go to spot for Chinese food. They are always quick and get the order right every time.

Great Service and always good rice house / Chinese food. I will continue my service here as long they keep the family rice tray available.

Love the crab Rangoon and sesame chicken! Consistently good and good lunch options that are size appropriate.

So I get my food delivered to my hotel and it looked pretty decent and good. I started to dig in and then I noticed something looking black in my rice. It was a Freaking hair. I almost threw up immediately. read more

Pretty good Asian food! Fairly priced and our kids love it which is most important. Fried dumplings are amazing! 6.7 all around but 7.2 on fried dumplings read more

Friendly staff. Great food They are very accommodating. Fast and friendly delivery. Crab Rangoon is awesome.

For me I have had good food in here, I mean in my opinion this is fast food chinese cuisine. I like their soups and noodles and rice. In my opinion the house special soup is the standout, I will have to ask them what their signature dish is. But I have not found chinese soup better than their house special. read more

The best Chinese food, hands down! Generous portions, and very friendly! Highly recommend ! read more

Great food! One of my personal favorite Chinese food restaurants in the Granite City area.

Spent $50, wish I could get a refund. Did not live up to the 4 star rating. Even by American Chinese food standards, this one was pretty bad. read more

My son just moved to Granite City and thought we would try this place. Very fast and fresh food. Definitely will order here again.

My family and I love to come here when we have a taste for fried rice, egg rolls, or crab rangoon. The place is a bit outdated but I noted that they are trying to work on their structure. The woman up front is patient and kind and answers questions you may have on pricing over the phone or certain ingredients in some dishes. They are usually packed because they have the best rice in town! read more

Great food for the lunch price. New to the area and I was looking for some Chinese food and my first experience was great! read more

Good food great proportions and nice staff! Crab Rangoon on the sweet side! But I still order them. Lol

Food was really good. Delivery guy was really friendly. Probably the best Asian cuisine in town

Yum and friendly staff, good hours, good portions. I haven't tried much of the menu but I am surely interested .. maybe beef and broccoli next time. read more

Great food, fast delivery service. Friendly staff& delivery drivers are very polite.

Friendly, fast service. Food is great, always hot and tastes really good. Love the combinations plates, great portions and containers!

Excellent food! Great service. Super fast carry out timing. Been a customer for years. Love this place!

If you're looking for classic St. Louis style Chinese food then this isn't the place you want to go. Food is overpriced and small portioned. Combos come with white rice and $2 extra for fried rice. Combos don't come with egg roll, just meat and white rice. It's pretty disappointing overall but the food is decent. read more

I ordered delivery via Yelp and was happy to find that most of the reviews were pretty accurate. I was happy with both the quality and quantity of the food, being "standard" Chinese delivery fare. Lots of chicken in the Garlic Chicken, but not as spicy as I'd like, even though I ordered it "Spicy Hot". The same goes for the hot and sour soup, tasty but not really "hot". I was very disappointed in the crab Rangoon however. Huge squares of fried pastry filled with loads of cream cheese. That's it. No crab. Overall though, not a bad choice for delivery. I'll order from them again when in the area. read more

This is the only Chinese restaurant that is open in town on Sunday. They also deliver. The food is ok if you haven't eaten at Vin Hoa, Lams or other STL style Chinese place. read more

We made a family decision to grab Chinese for dinner... on New Year's Eve. There are two other Chinese take-out places nearby that have been around forever, places I like and have frequented for, yeesh, decades; however, both of these were closed. These closures were what nudged us to 88 China and I can say we have no regrets. The staff was friendly and efficient, and more importantly the food was quite good! I believe they have won some new customers. The four star rating came from a couple of the dishes being too-lightly spiced, in my opinion. Next time, I will request a bit more heat and see how it goes - because there will be a next time! read more

Great food ! Large potions! Very open to customizations , just ask ! Lunch specials are very reasonable priced .

I have never been here. But my oldest son is a fan of their delivery service. When he's ordering, I hop on the bandwagon. We've probably ordered three or four times from 88 China. And when we order, we get enough for more than one meal. I've had good: eggrolls, pot stickers and crab Rangoon. This afternoon, we ordered around 2 p.m., thinking delivery would be in about an hour. Didn't take that long. So, this was kinda like dunch. We had two HUGE bags of food. Two of the dishes were mine, and they were stupendous: House Special Fried Rice (I call it 10-ingredient fried rice.) -- A massive container filled with fried rice (but not really that much, because there was so much protein: large shrimp, chicken, pork, beef strips and maybe ham), white onion, green onion and carrots. I was amazed about the amount of protein in a dish like this, and it made me happy. A delightful flavor-fest. Garlic Chicken -- Another massive container. The dish contained (everything in pretty large pieces) broccoli, water chestnuts, carrots, white onion, huge amounts of chicken, green pepper and bamboo shoots in a rich, sesame seed brown sauce. I did not taste a lot of garlic, but I really do like garlic, so could have used a bit more. This dish was so well-balanced, and all the flavors held their own to stand out. I had dunch, a little snack, and I STILL cannot detect a dent in either of these dishes. They'll be lasting a while. read more

Best Chinese delivery in West County. Sure, it looks the same as 90% of all Chinese restaurants in the area: a banner declaring 'WE DELIVER' and their phone number in bold red lettering, and a stack tall stack of giant, disposable one-sheet menus to read and order from. Of course, the menu is comprised of all of the typical (Americanized) Chinese take-out that everyone is used to: Lo Mein, General Tso's chicken, crab Rangoon, etc..... However, the food really exceeds any precedence from whatever I have been used to ordering from a delivery place like this in the past. The portions are pretty large, and the sauces are always thicker and more flavorful than what you would expect from the same dish from another restuaunt . The pot stickers are especially good. There is a bit of chili powder added to the traditional pot sticker sauce that really sets it apart. The crab rangoon is literally overflowing with filling and definitely a must-have. read more

Since living in West St. Louis County, 88 China has been my go-to CARRY OUT Chinese place. Its close to my home and they deliver to my house (even right after a snow storm when I cant get out of my driveway), but mostly my husband goes to pick up our orders. While it is true that 88 China has a protracted menu with over 100 different items the food I like here are the more Americanized dishes. While I am embarrassed to admit this-I actually like things like General Tsos Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon (this makes me sound very sophisticated right?) and 88 China does these dishes really well. My teenagers really like these menu items as well and they are both picky eaters. (I continue to make myself sound very distinguished) Every time I look at their menu I start out with the intention of trying something different & something on the Lite Chinese Food menu, but then I gravitate toward my old faithfuls. If you like the greasy high fat Chinese food options I highly recommend this place for carry out or delivery but must warn you not to opt for dining in. You will be sorry you did. The place looks very run down, has zero ambiance, and probably could use a bucket of bleach and a scrub brush. However, when I have a hankering for some gooey, greasy, spicy fried chicken balls or fried cream cheese there is nothing that will satisfy like the General Tso's Chicken with a side of Crab Rangoon. On the plus side too the portion sizes here are extremely generous and the food is inexpensive. I always have enough left for lunch the following day. If I work up the nerve to order the Streamed shrimp with mixed vegetables I promise to update my review to discuss the healthier food options here. read more

I concur: Best Chinese in town. Unless you want a Pork St. Paul sandwich, for which you'll have to go to the "legacy" Chinese establishment in town. But 88 China has them beat in that they take plastic, while the other takes cash only. And now they'll deliver as well. But this is the clean place, with a great selection and food that's always good, HOT, and fresh. read more

This is my go-to Chinese food delivery place. I always order the Singapore Mai Fun. Tip: Ask for mild spicy because the default is really really hot! The mai fun comes with a variety of meats inside including pork, chicken, and shrimp. It is cooked to perfection I think! It is quite a dry dish which is exactly how I like my Singapore mai fun. The potstickers (steamed) are not bad either. The crab rangoon are too big for my liking though. I can only eat one. Delivery takes about 45 minutes during dinner time, which is not bad at all. The food is still fresh and hot when it arrives. read more

The hubby and I grabbed take out from here when we were too tired to cook one night, and had the same low-ish expecations of places similar to this (which we refer to lovingly as "crappy chinese.) Boy were we surprised. This place is excellent! I saw it had some good reviews on Foursquare which is what led us to even try it, but we still were not expecting much. The portions were good sized, and the food was great. I really liked the Hot and Sour soup which is saying a lot for me as I am picky about it and have only liked it at a couple of places in St. Louis. The crab rangoon was awesome and had that sweetness in the filling that I am a fan of. I got the Sa Cha Beef which was very flavorful and tasty. I can't remember what my husband got, but it was tasty and he liked it too. I can't wait til our next "crappy chinese" run as it will no longer be crappy! :-) Oh and they have dinner specials, which I feel is a must, I hate having to order ala carte and like when my food comes with the egg roll and such. read more

As carryout/delivery Chinese places go, this place is solid. The last time ordering there seemed to be a busy spell, most likely as it was after Thanksgiving and everyone needed a break from leftovers! The portions are substantial, especially the vegetable fried rice (always a favorite, and loaded with plentiful, fresh vegetables). The egg rolls are excellent, as the wrappers are suitably crisp, and not as thick and bready as others I have sampled. I think the quality of ingredients used at 88 China is fresher than at comparable places, which makes it easier to rationalize feeding one's takeout Chinese craving from here when the mood strikes. read more

I don't know that most delivery chinese deserves more than 3 stars so in my opinion this is a great rating. We've ordered from this place 4 or 5 times and so far they haven't run me off. Honestly, I am more into appetizers at these places than anything else but we have had some decent entrees. It has been somewhat hit and miss for me but I will try to explain so that this is actually helpful. Crab Rangoon - yes they are overfilled and sweet; I typically don't like this but for some reason these are okay Egg rolls - I've tried the pork and shrimp. I prefer the shrimp but the pork also have nice flavor. The egg rolls are better than most delivery places with chunky vegetables and a nice crisp wrapper. Pot Stickers - These are not doughy and have good flavor alone. The sauce is also very good. We've ordered fried rice, lo mein, General Tso's, Sweet and Sour Chicken and several others. The Sweet and Sour is very good. Everything else, in my mind is OK. I really prefer that meat is more select cut for the entrees and they simply don't do this so you get a lot of fatty or grisly pieces. If you aren't picky about this then you should definitely give them a try as their sauces and seasonings are very good. read more

Absolutely the most delicious Chinese food I've had since I moved from RI to MO! We ordered 8 crab rangoons (one of the best in the area!), pint lobster fried rice (could do without the intimation crab meat), 3 beef teriyaki (I can't remember the last time I enjoyed one), quart lobster lo mein and pot stickers for $35. Would definitely recommend and definitely the go-to for Chinese delivery! I ordered on a Friday night and the estimated delivery time was 45-60 minutes. I'm not sure if that's there average wait time or just because of the nature of the night. But that was the only downside and technically it arrived within 43 minutes. read more

I don't mind this place at all. I never really noticed it before but one day I left the gym really hungry and craving Chinese food and there it was in the corner of my eye, 88 China. So I went in and realized that this is definitely more of a take out place rather than an actual sit down restaurant. You can dine in and sit there like I did but at the same time it's kind of awkward just because the owner's children are just there playing and messing around in front of you. Not sure if that's a regular occurrence here but when I was there that's what I experienced. The food isn't too bad, nothing spectacular and I've definitely had better but at the same time it's not the worst. I got a small Hot and Sour Soup for $2.25, a small Chicken Fried Rice for $4.50 and an order of Kung Pao Chicken for $8.50. Everything was relatively good but I think the best thing was the soup since it had the right balance of being hot instead of just being sour like the way most places serve it. The chicken dishes on the other hand...I feel like the flavors are good but there is just something left to be desired with the actual chicken meat. For the prices though I think I will end up being back when I'm in the mood for it but next time I'll make sure to order it to go. read more

Your average hole in the wall Chinese joint. They get an extra star for delivery service, accepting debit card, and having their condiments put out so you can grab a handful, but that doesn't make up for their lackluster food. FOOD: First off their rice is gross. I have had Uncle Ben's microwave rice that's tasted better than the crap I had. The sweet and sour shrimp was nothing but tasteless over battered shrimp. I stripped away most of the batter so I could actually taste the shrimp. The crab rangoon I ordered was more cream cheese than anything. That's great that they really stuff it, but I want to taste the crab, in crab rangoon!!! Besides, I like a little more crunch to my rangoon. PRICE: They're cheap. We had 2 small drinks, half order of beef lo mein, sweet and sour shrimp, and an order of crab rangoon for $18. APPEARANCE: The inside is far from clean and orderly. There's napkins on the floor, the drink station is just stuffed with crap in a book shelf, and I'd hate to see the filth in the kitchen. SERVICE: The guys answering the phones and at the front desk are friendly, I'll give them that. Cooks are slow with the food however. I would've already done had my food and eaten at Vin Hoa in the time we waited. OVERALL: I'm unimpressed. What's so great about this place? They deliver? So what? I'm not that lazy to get in the car to go and drive for GOOD Chinese food. read more

We eat here all the time and we don't even live in town. We happily pass up several other Chinese places to come here. They're just that good. Everything I've ordered is sooo much better here. It's not really dirty, per se, but it's not fancy. Ignore that and eat here. read more
