My family and I have been coming here for many years ever since I was a kid and we were glad to know that it's still being run by the same family as they always have been friendly and their food is priced fairly great for the quantity. We like to order the black pepper chicken-- whether it be for our lunch/dinner or when we have parties. This time, I was there to order 2 full trays of black pepper chicken for my upcoming baby shower but also decided to get some to go for lunch the day I placed the order. We also got to try the new chicken skin which was pretty good. As usual the black pepper chicken was delicious and a hit at the baby shower! read more

88 King - Black Pepper Chicken & Chicken Skin - Chinese Near Me - Norwalk, California

I had a Toogoodtoogo order from here, I used the opportunity to try something new! As a college student im always looking for deals like this. This shop does both donuts and Chinese food! I scored a 3 item combo during my visit. Fried Rice, Chow Mein, Black Pepper Chicken, Mushroom Chicken, Beef and Broccoli. I didn't get to choose my items specifically because I ordered from an app that specifically doesn't allow choice in items to reduce food waste. Service was quick and simple. I'm not sure if the heat lamps are heated or not (I know..). My food was pretty cold I went in about 5:30pm. Many items were already gone and rice kinda looked sat out after frying. No one was there but workers were kind and calm atmosphere. Food: I liked the black pepper chicken many people post about - this was my favorite. A little crisp and sweet with some nice chicken. Unfortunately - the other items I found to be bland tasting. The rice was hard and Chow Mein was oily for my liking. As for trying a new place, im glad I tried it through the app I used as these Chinese food spots have gotten pricey! I also understand I didn't have the freshest food. I however would choose a different spot but at the end of the day I ate well, and I did really enjoy the black pepper chicken! read more

The owner is friendly. The black peppered chicken is best dish here. They also sell pastries and donuts. Small seating area but usually get take out. They take all forms of payment. Order in advance for large trays it can be ready in 20/30 mins. read more

I ended up getting the food as part of the To Good To Go app. I knew the food wasn't going to be 100% fresh, but it seemed like the trays were keeping it alive more than the customers that decided to come inside. I basically got a Panda Express style plate that was made up for me. So looking at only the flavors of the dishes, they just didn't taste that good to me. For the most part the food really wasn't what I hoped for and I don't believe I will be trying it again. read more

This place is my go to for best pepper chicken and salt and pepper shrimps. I always order for Sundays church lunch fellowships.

If I could which I was pressed for time. So I grabbed some orange chicken and chow mein Very impressed. read more

Would recommend their fried chicken and maple donut but that's about it. The service can be a hit and miss for the most part.

It was my fist time here and the steamed rice, teriyaki chicken, and BBQ pork, along with soy sauce and sriracha sauce was very delicious. Additionally, the donuts were also good. I would recommend 100%. read more

PLEASE DO NOT COME EAT HERE COCKROACHES IN THE FOOD Ordered two trays of food from here for 110$. Broccoli Beef and Kung Pao Chicken. Took them home for lunch and we found a roach in the chicken! Took it back immediately and asked for a refund. She tried to argue with us that because we had already eaten the food, we should not get the money back!!! What the fuck! Please do not eat here anymore, this place needs to close down or something because that is disgusting. read more

Love this place. Great chicken and always a fav for my team. Been coming for years and never failed to deliver the best

I love grabbing lunch at this place. I haven't actually had their donuts, I didn't even realize donut was in the name until I wrote this review. The Chinese food here is the best you can get for the price. I have literally made the trip from south county when I needed Chinese food, it's always hot and fresh tasting. Panda Express tastes like a tv dinner compared to here. read more

My experience tonight at this establishment was terrible from when I walked in until I left, & came back to give them back the food they gave me. Story time: I used the "Too Good To Go" app to buy myself a 3 item meal. This app allows you to purchase a meal at a discounted rate so the business doesn't have to throw food away. This was my 1st time using the app. My food pick up was scheduled for 6 to 6:30pm. I arrived at 6:10pm & the lady at the front didn't even look at me. As she stood at the register, I began to talk & show her the app receipt for my order. She put her finger up & shushed me. I felt her manner was rude, after she motioned to me I showed her my order on the app. Still no eye contact, she seemed upset that I was there. Never truly acknowledging me, she began to prepare my order. She filled the container with 75% noodles that looked like they had been in the tray for a while. The small scoop of rice was dry at the top, also looking like it had been sitting in the tray for a long while. The orange chicken was a few dried up crumbs left in the tray. The broccoli beef looked okay but did not smell right. My 3rd item was a mystery meat & when I asked what it was I was ignored. I don't know if it's because they knew I used the discount app or if that's how they treat & serve food to their customers. I will never ever go back to this place again. I am asking the app for my money back. Even after this in my car I tried to taste the food but I couldn't get past the smell of the broccoli beef, the mystery meat was kinda slimy, the orange chicken crumbled as I picked up a piece & put it in my mouth - I had to spit it out it was not good. I took the container back to them & left it on the counter. 88 King you need to do better. read more

88 King is a small mom and pop Chinese food/donut shop located in an older strip mall in Norwalk. Was looking for something to bring to a potluck and came across the rave Yelp reviews for 88 King's Black Pepper Chicken. The reviews were so good, I had to try it. The Black Pepper Chicken is bone-in, cut up pieces of chicken that have been deep fried and then tossed in a garlicky sweet and savory soy-based sauce. NoMG it is good! Crispy and saucy and perfect with rice. The best bits to me are the pieces of chicken skin that have separated from the meat and are like crispy bits of deliciousness drenched in that wonderful sauce. I've purchased this now for 3 dinners and everyone has loved it and asked where it was from. You can buy the BPC as part of a combo meal, or like I did - in an aluminum tray. The nice thing about 88 King is that you can tell them you'd like $20 or $25 etc. worth and they'll adjust the amt of pieces according to how much you want to spend. For $25 ($27.50 with tax) you get a generous amount in the tray. Service is fast and efficient - I always call ahead and my tray is ready and fresh when I arrive. Parking can be packed, but I've never had to wait more than 10 mins for a space to open up. Love the BPC and will be back soon the next time I need a good main dish for a potluck or party. read more

Ordered catering trays here. Owner? (Younger Asian man) super nice. There's a $1 charge for use of debit card and I think credit cards have a fee too. Use cash if you can. $35 for half tray lo mein, $50 for half tray beef broccoli. Solid fast food Chinese food. Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming here since I was a teenager and the since then their famous pepper chicken has always hit the same and has been steadily delicious.! their prices are definitely fair and they haven't been raised too high. I think it's an older couple that own this shop as they are the ones there when I order and when I pick up. Come in during lunch and they have combo and bowl specials. read more

Ordered the black pepper chicken for my brothers birthday. They did great with catering. I called in around 11am to have the food ready for 5:30pm and the food was ready on the dot. There was no extra waiting which was great. Flavors are great and the skin is so crispy. Would recommend bringing this to any party 10/10. read more

I always order their black pepper chicken and chow mein. It's the best! I don't recommend the fried rice though. It's always hard texture. I love how quick they answer their phones and how flexible they are when ordering party trays. I was able to add on trays day of pick up, which I appreciate. They will tell you pricing upfront or you could always ask and they'll let you know. read more

Every time my husband's hospital has a birthday or celebration, he brings me this delicious fried chicken pieces. I always asked him to find out where it was from but he could never find out. Two years later, he brought me a couple pieces after work again and I demanded for him to find out where it was from. Lucky for me, he finally found out that it was from this place. They call it, "Black pepper chicken" and I call it "crack chicken." Ya, it is that good. This place is a fast food Chinese place + donut shop. Odd arrangement. The parking lot is cramped and has very compact parking spaces. I can't imagine evening rush hour. Parking may be difficult. I stopped by after work and bought $20 work of chicken and $5 worth of chow mein. They made my chicken order fresh and put it in a nice container for car travel. The owner was very nice and recommended me to call beforehand to place the order so I didn't have to wait. Since I wanted to make sure I was ordering the right chicken, I wanted to see it in person. For future orders, I'll call ahead. I asked the kind lady for party tray pricing and included in the photos attached. This chicken simply does not disappoint. Their party tray chow mein price is also a good deal. This place is going to be my go-to chicken place for events now. Cash and debt for payment. $0.50 cent charge for debt card use. read more

Hole in the wall donuts / Chinese food place. We always get the Pepper Chicken in a party tray. t's crispy, garlicky and sweet fried chicken legs and thighs. Been the same recipe for decades and affordable when feeding an army of people. read more

Tried overrated black pepper chicken today. It might have been delicious back then but not anymore. Chicken was very hard and dry difficult chew or swallow, looks like it was fried many times before it was served to me. Had to trash half of them. Took my chances after reading bad reviews on the restaurant, I regret my decision. read more

Food is so good and price is very fair here. Gonna be my favorite lunch spot in this area twice a week from now on.

A friend(@aizaeatz on IG) raved about their Black Pepper Chicken, definitely worth it!!! We ordered a tray ahead of time. It only took about 15 mins & total for the tray was $33. Not bad for the amount you get too! This place is located in a small plaza, not hard to find. But if you are looking for the sign, just know that it's not super noticeable because it's faded. It is next to a KBBQ place and I think an AYCE sushi place too. Parking is ok, could be harder during rush hour for restaurants. Now the chicken. It. Is. Amazing!! So flavorful and juicy! I do wish the sauce was evenly coated though. Some pieces have waaay too much & it can get too sweet for me. Especially the ones on the bottom. Do not pass on the chicken skin pieces! They're sooo good! So crunchy! I loved it. Maybe ny favorite pieces. They do sell other types of chinese food, donuts and ice cream! You have a lot to choose from, but you have to come here for their black pepper chicken! read more

I only order the combination fried rice here with no peas and no carrots, and it's the best around. My favorite out of all the places I order combination fried rice. I can't do spicy but it has the right amount of spicy that I can tolerate. Delicious. I haven't tried anything else from here. It's a small hole in the wall near another great taco spot! read more

Their pepper chicken is top 3 on my list of favorites. When I drive to the I.E. or San Diego, I buy a 30 pc tray to make my trip enjoyable. Every occasion my family celebrates. we always get tray of these addicting treats. Taste and size of chicken has been consistent for the last 13 years. read more

This little Chinese fast food mixed donut shop may seem a little run down but the food speaks for itself. 1. Black chicken 10/5!!! - crunchy skin, sweet and a little spice, tender. You can purchase as a tray and they give a good amount. Compared to purchasing $1.25 a wing nowadays, this is a steal of a deal. 2. Green bean and pork entree 4/5 - pork is coated with flour and then fried but it was soggy and a little dry cause it's sitting in the juices. Green beans are crunchy and 5/5 rating. Flavor is delicious with its garlicky Asian seasoning 3. Chow mein 3.5/5 - honestly it was at the end of the night and so for sure the chow mein just wasn't as fresh. So I'll do another review when I try their chow mein 4. Jalapeño Ham and cheese croissant 4/5 - I bought 3 in the same batch and it was inconsistent with the amount of ham and cheese per croissant and the distribution of the cheese and ham. One croissant had the ham and cheese only on one side of the croissant and another croissant barely had any cheese, jalapeño and ham. Overall, just based on those few items, I'd recommend giving them a try especially for their crunchy sweet chicken. Drooling thinking about it. read more

This place is half bakery and half Chinese fast food. There are a couple items in the fast food area that are delicious which are the black pepper chicken and chow mein noodles. The black pepper chicken tastes great on the same day as you can taste the crispy skin and the meat part is juicy. When reheating it the next day it gets tough and chewy and the flavors are gone it is pretty much a waste. For the chow mein I like theirs as it does not have a lot of vegetables and plenty of noodles which makes it more filling. If we need to order party trays we usually call a week in advance and they are ready on our pickup time and day. You can order party trays for any of the items in the fast food area and they have different tray size options. The price varies for the party trays depending on what you order as they average between 20-50 dollars and the more meat the dish has, the pricier the tray. Overall, they have plenty of selections and they give a lot per order. As for the bakery shop they sell the usual donuts of all flavors. The later you go during the day the donuts do not look so fresh and they start to look stale. The downside of this place is the parking, it is horrible. The spaces are small and they are so close to the next car that there is a high chance of your car getting scratched if other drivers are not careful. read more

Today is Monday, September 27th 2021. It was my first and last time here. Before entering, I had looked at the reviews, I was impressed... 5 stars! The food taste and looks about 3 days old, the rice was super crunchy, the egg rolls burned and dull, I was completely disappointed for breaking my diet for this! If you want 4 star Chinese, go to the one down the street next to Del Taco.. on Pioneer Blvd and Artesia Blvd, their food is always fresh and hot. Tasty Goodies down the opposite way sucks too, so don't go there. read more

88 King - I should had known by the way it looked ‍ - Chinese Near Me - Norwalk, California

Chinese Food, donuts, plants - Oh my! 88 King seems to have all the bases covered. Hungry? Chinese food in warming trays to choose from. Something sweet? Donuts ready to avail yourself of. Want some greenery for the house/yard? Various plants are for sale. I frequently dine at Go Hyang Jib for their soondae gook, and sometimes their soondubu. Being a frequent lotto player, it's convenient for me to buy a couple before/after dining at Go Hyang Jib. I'm very picky with Chinese fast food, so I don't care to taste the items at 88 King. The prices seem cheap, though, so dinner can be had for very little money. Also, I rarely partake of donuts, so I can't give 2 cents on the donuts they have here. But, buying lotto is a breeze. The friendly man behind the counter helped me quickly and seemed pleasant in personality. A good number of potted plants are for sale by the donuts. The English/scientific names escape me, but they are quite common in the Asian community. Parking is in a private lot, anchored by a Korean spa. Some spots are 1 hour only, so be mindful of that. Buying lotto is a cinch at 88 King, which is a really rad name. The food offered here doesn't interest me per se, but the staff were nice when I dealt with them and prices are very affordable. read more
