China 8 has easily become my go-to Chinese takeout spot in Mount Dora. My usual order is the chicken with mixed vegetables, and it never misses. The vegetables are cooked well, the sauce is flavorful, and it's just one of those meals I know I can count on. Their egg rolls are also a standout for me, especially compared to some of the other Chinese takeout places nearby. We've also had the fried chicken wings, which come out extra crispy and delicious, and the house fried rice is seriously the bomb. My fiancé usually rotates between the Hunan chicken, Happy Family, and General Tso's chicken, and those have all been solid too. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, which makes me like this place even more. Just know that they get busy in the evenings, especially going into the weekend. It's common to see a line out the door, so order online when you can and bring a little patience. It's worth it. read more

First time here and boy was I impressed! The place was very busy (both phone orders & line waiting) and I take my hat off to the young lady running the front line. She was polite, efficient & good with multi tasking. The place was very very clean & the small waiting area was only 4 tables. It certainly was a bit intimate to say the least while waiting. Our order was ready in 20 minutes (which was stated to us) and they got it done on time. We brought it home...they got the order spot on. Because of the cost of our order, we received a free crab Rangoon which I was delighted and they were just delicious. The order is placed in a tote bag that is insulated and sealed to Keep hot. They are really nice bags and food was hot and ready to eat. We got Sweet & sour chicken with white rice, orange beef with pork fried rice, 2 egg rolls, beef teriyaki & our free crab Rangoons. Everything was absolutely delicious & flavors were spot on. I will share the portions are generous and you may end up with leftovers. The duck sauce was good and I could have used more. I am a huge fan and will make this my go to place from now on. read more

China 8 - Chinese Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

Was at Hobby Lobby and decided to grab some Chinese takeout. Order at the counter and although there were 3 tables nobody was eating there. They have a large menu selection and prices are reasonable. They said 25 minutes to wait (they were very busy) so I went shopping at TJ Maxs and Ross and even peeked in at the Hallmark shop. It was ready in 24 minutes! I got the house fried rice and joy of joys they don't have peas!! I always say no peas as I hate picking them out. The rice had lots of shrimp and was really good. This is the best Chinese food in the area. read more

We love their main dishes, appetizers and soups. The portions are generous. Strongly recommend.

The food is really good and service is ok. Conveniently located. You can also enjoy your food inside the restaurant. They have a small seating area. read more

This is my local favorite. Friendly menu options for vegetarians & meat eaters alike. Not greasy & when you request it "spicy" they deliver. They also show customer appreciation by offering complimentary items when you spend a certain amount. Staff is nice & the space is kept clean. read more

I actually prefer sit down service which doesn't exist locally in Chinese restaurants. The food I've ordered from China 8 has been top quality and is ready quickly for pickup after ordering online. read more

Hands down this is the BEST Chinese food in Mt Dora and the surrounding area including Eustis, Tavares and Leesburg. It is easy to order online, by phone or in person. The service is friendly and fast. The food is consistently cooked well and is delicious. They recently updated the inside with new paint and decor. There are only a 3-4 tables inside to dine at. This spot is mostly to go orders. The prices are reasonable and the portions are as expected. The crab Rangoons (on menu listed as cream cheese wontons 8/$6.95) are so good! Our favorite dishes are the sweet & sour chicken (pt $8.75/qt $13.55 served with rice), mixed veggies in garlic sauce ($10.95 served with rice), Szechuan chicken (pt $8.89/qt $13.55 served with rice) or general Tso's chicken ($13.99 served with rice). If you are craving Chinese food, you should definitely come here! read more

China 8 - Inside got a new look - Chinese Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

Good food, decent service, if you plan to go over Christmas, expect a wait. Never disappointed

Easy to order online and pay in store. It has fantastic fried rice with wok hei...hard to come by. I would say it's light on salt but nothing a little Maggi soy sauce can't fix. The other flavors are already thett with sesame oil, and plenty of ingredients in the rice to create balance and nutrients. read more

My niece paid for our food. They told her food would be done 10 mins. We sat in our car since there was no seating available and it was looking like it would rain. Since, It started to drizzle/rain I opted to go into the restaurant to pick up our order that was paid for. At first she was confused about my order. I told her what I ordered so I went to my car showed her the order number from my phone. She said oh, and got the box from the back. So I got the order and walked out. Never had someone run out accusing me of non payment when I paid. She said her boss told her we didn't pay for our food. My niece tells her I was just in there you took the payment from me. She still accuses we didn't pay. So I showed her how my bank got drafted the payment for the food. She still stood there saying something I rolled up my window and left because that was ridiculous.. I will not be going back to this place because of this. The girl in the front does not know what she is doing and doesn't pay attention at all. Even when I showed her the PROOF, I paid she still had some sh-t to say. Disgusting behavior. read more

One of the better Chinese restaurants in the area. The food is pretty consistently good, especially the fried rice. This is a family night regular for us since it is affordable and yummy! read more

I have been a customer of China 8 for the last 5 years. They are always friendly and polite! Food is always good and on time. I have never had an issue with my order. They always have everything that belongs in the bag when I get there. Not like other restaurants like Apple Bees, Chillies or a fast food like Wendy's that "ALWAYS" leave something of your food missing. I highly recommend them! Can't go wrong. Carlos V. read more

One of the best Chinese food places we've found on our travels through Florida. Peter was very helpful and made our orders according to our special diet of no eggs, no fish sauce and less oil. The texture and taste were spot on. We had the tofu chow mei fun, vegetarian fried rice with tofu and the vegetable chop suey. This is another "Go to " place when we are near Eustis, Florida again. Unfortunately, the smell of the food was so good we ate it before thinking about any pictures. read more

Excellent take out menu- appetizer spring rolls and shrimp were great- Chicken Pad Thai was so fresh and well crafted too!

Best Hot and Sour Soup in town!!! I love flavor and texture. It's always loaded with delicious ingredients. A great treat when you're in the mood for soup. read more

Food very good and reasonable price. Need to offer glasses of water for sit down dining

For fast delivery it is five stars but the food was terrible. The egg rolls were literally inedible. The crab Rangoon was all cream cheese with a sprinkle of maybe crab but tasted like it had none!! The beef fried rice was ok but we ordered a large and I would believe you if you said it was the small size... The sauces were not good - what happened to using sweet chili sauce? I wouldn't eat here again. We only chose it because we wanted delivery and it pizza. read more

Comes quickly , the food is very good . Two. Times in a row they have forgotten part of the meal. Last time it was the egg rolls and this time it was the ribs. I call and they can't credit my card. They won't send it out. All they do is to tell me to let them know next time. Ridiculous read more

The Kung Pao chicken was very good - the chicken was high quality & cooked perfect, the dish had an elevated selection of veggies, and the portion was definitely generous. The spice level was just the right amount of kick! The best I've found in the area. read more

China 8 - 57. Kung Pao Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

China 8 is your traditional Chinese take-out restaurant. For those who want to dine-in, there are several booths that look like they have seen better days. In general, the entire restaurant can definitely use a touch up. The food is what you would expect any Chinese take-out restaurant would have. Your classics like General Tso's, orange chicken, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, etc. are on the combination special which comes with an egg roll. Prices of these individual meals can range up to 10 dollars but portions are a good size. I have tried several different combination specials and each have been tasty. Nothing mind-blowing, but hits he spot when you're craving for it. Orders come out pretty quick - I'd say in the 5-10 minute range. I will repeat. read more

I attempted to place an order via door dash for delivery to Mount Dora. my credit card was charged but then I received a call from the Door Dash delivery guy stating i "was out of range and would have to pick it up at the restaurant ". I called the restaurant and was told repeatedly that I would have to "speak with door dash" and the man hung up on me ....now I have to dispute the charges for food never received with Capital one. ugh. Never again! read more

I ordered Orange Chicken and pork fried rice, and came with a canned soda. The chicken had candied orange peel in it, and was delicious. Business has plenty of socially distance waiting inside and outside chairs were placed. They also have a plexiglass wall where you order. Food came fast at lunch. I would recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. read more

I don't get take out food often but when I do I usually want Chinese food. This is the best by 85% it would be 100% if they had crab ragoons like wok n roll but they don't even have them on the menu nor do they have hunan chicken. I have to say the food I did order was good. The szechuan wonton's flavor was great, lots of vegetables but only three wontons. Great Beef on a stick,springs rolls, & egg rolls (they were generous & gave 2 extra). Vegetable lo mein was great but could use just a bit more flavor & last was the szechuan chicken which was great as well but I asked for extra spicy but wasn't spicy at all. Delivery guys was really nice. Over all still some great Chinese food with a few flaws. read more

Just moved here recently & have been on the hunt for great Chinese food restaurant & this is definitely it. Just visited for the first time & got a basic order of Chicken & Broccoli with white rice & chicken wings. Both entrees were quite tasty & we will definitely be back again. Not to mention the convenient hours & location . read more

Great take out. Make sure you explain any extra or changes you would like and they will gladly accommodate. They have an app to order online. Pay in person, card , cash. Closest to the authentic Chinese food we had back in NY. Owner is from NY. read more

I ordered delivery from here tonight and it's sad to say that the white rice was the best part. The terrible service started when the phone was taken away from the nice gentleman who was originally taking my order, to then the impatient man who just wanted to get my order in quick and hang up. My order consisted of the mu shu chicken combo, with an egg roll (which didn't cost enough for delivery according to the impatient one), and an order of moo goo gai pan. I made sure to double check and say that I'd like an egg roll. I told him that I was in an apartment building, gave him the code for the building, and even gave him directions on how to go downstairs to get to the apartment. 45 minutes later I get a phone call with someone yelling at me-I had to ask them to slow down (I'm 31 years old with great hearing btw) They TOLD me to come downstairs in five minutes when he got there. This left me somewhat perplexed as I thought I'd ordered DELIVERY?? Anyway, I went downstairs after four minutes and continued to wait an additional five minutes for him. He got out of his car while talking on his cell phone with the speaker on. He then asked me if I had a pen to sign for it. I had to laugh-where exactly was I going to pull that from?...the bushes? Since I had been told to go outside, was I supposed to bring his pen too?? He really should have TOLD me to bring a pen on his rude phone call prior to. The best part of our visit was when he asked if I wanted to leave a tip..while still talking on his speaker phone. I of course said no thank you. I felt like I was the one that needed the tip at that point. It didn't get any better once I went inside. The mu shu CHICKEN had barely any CHICKEN..it was all shredded cabbage! Good thing I was forced to order more food because the moo goo gai pan (which looked more like soup) replenished my need of protein. There was NO EGG ROLL after I double checked to make sure there would be one. The mu shu chicken was supposed to come with soft shell style wraps and..wait for it..none! Shocker, I know. I have yet to open the fortune cookie, but fingers crossed! read more

I love this place! They hand make all of their pork and shrimp egg rules, spring rolls, meat wontons, cream cheese wontons (crab rangoon), etc.. Every order is cooked the way you want it (veg or no veg, spicy or not, add extra meat, veg or egg). This is the only place I'll go for Chinese food! read more

Food always great but the staff lady always not too friendly... just down to business for her... next. Good thing her chef does excellent work! Just a tad better than my other favorite Chinese restaurant down the road. read more

We've been going to this place for over10 years. They're fast, ACCURATE, and delicious! No MSG makes it even better. Shrimp with veggies is my mans favorite and my garlic shrimp is always perfect. Egg rolls are crispy and never soggy or greasy. read more

This place is good basic Chinese. The hot and sour soup is awesome!

If I could leave a zero I would. I ordered a meal at 10:30pm,they close at 11:00pm. They called and told me it was ready at 10:45,I told them I would be there in a couple of minutes and that I was on the way ;which I had left my house at 10:40. I got there at 10:51. And they were closed. Thankfully I hadn't paid for my food yet,however I'm very dissatisfied with the customer service. read more

The food here was horrible! We ordered BBQ spare rib tips and pork fried rice - omg- the meat from the ribs tasted gamy! The rice was super pale and super bland! My Boyfriend ordered the Beef Lo Mein with Pork Fried rice, and the lo mein tasted like they boiled spaghetti and added 3 pieces of beef - plus super bland! Same with the rice! I have tasted better food at a hospital cafeteria. Do Not Eat Here! You'll be sorry!! read more

Always good. Always fast. Always lots of fresh vegetables in their dishes. China 8 has been my go to Chinese fast food take away for over 10 years. I prefer to order from China 8 because of their white rice. I believe one can usually tell what the food will be like by trying the plain white rice. China 8 has fresh and clean and long grain jasmine rice. I have ordered white rice many times from many places around here when I am making a big dish of fried rice at home. It's an easy cheat as I only have a 4 cup rice cooker at home. I have tried China star. Lampu. And the other Chinese place at Stoneybrook plaza. Out of those places, I prefer China 8. During Covid the delivery is super fast and I haven't had to wait long for my food 20 min from phone call to my door. You just can't beat it. Plus the veggies are so great. Their green curry is pretty close to a Thai version with coconut milk base. It's all good- even the chicken wings. It's worth giving them a try. And remember if you ever want to make fried rice and don't have a rice cooker, getting a few large containers of plain white rice is an easy cheat for rice done right whether you plan to cook with it fresh or day old. Too bad I didn't take any pics of their food for you. If I do, I will update this review. read more

Friendly staff, fresh food, and decent service. What more could you ask for? I love this place.
