China 88 - Chinese Near Me - Lees Summit, Missouri

China 88 reminds me so much of my favorite Chinese spot in Raytown, which I love--and the best part is it's just across the street! I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with a side of shrimp fried rice, and it was really good. I especially appreciated that the fried rice included onions, carrots, and peas, since a lot of places only add onions. We ordered takeout and had no issues at pickup--everything was ready on time and our order was correct. Overall, a solid experience and definitely a convenient go-to spot. read more

The food is always so consistent and for a great price. We usually place one big order for our shop once a week. We know exactly what to expect and they are always SUPER FAST. When I say fast, I mean I was pulling out the $50 from my wallet to pay and she already had my change ready to go. If you're in a pinch for time and want some solid Chinese food, check them out. They also have an indoor seating area, if you prefer to sit down. I appreciate that it's clean inside even though the area is undergoing some construction with scaffolding blocking the business. Very friendly staff, efficient and tasty. That is all. I'm going to go eat my leftovers now. read more

China 88 was always my go to restaurant. Food was always consistent balanced wonton soup, egg rolls, ma po tofu ETEC. I went there last night in search of some comfort food and was so totally disappointed. I literally had to drain the broth out of the wontons after I tried it and redo it with Lee Kum Kee broth powder in order to make it taste decent. The eggroll was a mushy disgusting mass on the inside. Crab rangoon were good as always. Have not tasted my mushu pork or my ma po tofu yet. I was very very very disappointed. Since COVID this place has really gone downhill and I have to wonder if they even have the same chef working. It is filthy, I certainly would not want to eat there. I would steer clear of this and I am going to look on the reviews pages to find another good Chinese restaurant in Lee Summit area. read more

The food is delicious and hot. The staff is very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The environment is clean and relaxing. A wonderful experience. read more

Ordered food to go in July and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Service was excellent. Restaurant was clean. Have since ordered twice more and am happy to say the food was as amazing as the first time. I would recommend this location for great and reasonable food. read more

The order came quickly. Unfortunately the spring rolls were a little mushy inside. So my husband and I didn't like them. The cashew chicken was all right but the sesame chicken tasted more orangey than like sesame chicken and neither my husband nor I enjoyed it. The servings were plentiful though. I would probably try another Chinese place next time though.time f read more

10/10 always have the best food and always are so fast and sweet with there service. I never once have had something wrong or even taste slightly off. Would recommend trying this place!!!!! read more

My favorite non buffet Chinese takeout in the metro. I live in Olathe but anytime I am in Lees Summit I try to stop here. Love the General Taos Chicken and the Crab Rangoon. It's a small lobby, nothing fancy but the food is always fresh, hot, and my meal is never soggy, the chicken stays crisp for the duration of the meal. read more

This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant since moving to Lee's Summit three years ago. The food is delicious and they have yet to mess up our order (which is a big deal considering most places in Lee's Summit are incompetent). However, the lady at the front desk is pretty rude every time we come in, which is why I gave them four stars instead of five. Other reviews do not lie that they are not well decorated either, but this doesn't really matter to us considering we're just picking up our food. If you want good Chinese in Lee's Summit, this is the place to go. read more

We enjoy the food from China88. The food is well prepared and portions are good. (I'm usually surprised how heavy my pick up order is). Always like to get the Hot and Sour soup, very flavorful and really is hot and sour. Reliably good with their Crab Rangoon and fried dumplings. That can be a good light meal by itself. Any of your favorites come to you well executed: Kung Pao Chicken, General Tso's chicken or tofu, Orange beef, Curry Chicken, Ma PO Tofu, Hunan or Szechuan anything, and fried rice or noodles. Some thai recipes available too. Nice menu full of selections. My vegetarian kids like the vegetable and tofu soup!! Pretty much a carry out/delivery place. Never tried a delivery. Always ready to pick up when they tell you it will be ready. All are excellent as next day leftovers. Strongly recommended to try if haven't yet!! read more

Chinese restaurants seem to come and go a lot in Lee's Summit. We tried calling the one we use to order from for delivery tonight and got a private residence...so we turned to the phone book and on a whim called China 88. I think I saw their drivers out a few months back so guessed they delivered. We ordered two entrees, two small egg drop soups, and appetizers. Got it all delivered for $30.00 including the tip. I really enjoyed my egg drop soup. The small is enough for a small meal in itself. The broth was thick and there was lots of egg white in the egg drop. My crab rangoon actually had the taste of crab and I could see some pink chunks in the creamy cream cheese. The small is three and the large is 6. I went with the small and was fully satisfied. Hubby was happy with his Spicy Pork and I really enjoyed my Sesame Chicken. Enough for at least one and probably two meals of left overs. I also liked the fact that most items came in reusable containers and the driver was friendly and the service was speedy. We will be ordering from China 88 again. read more

The egg drop soup was delicious. However, the beef and broccoli was the most repulsive thing I've ever had. Awful. Tasted like a wet paper towel roll with oil on it. Seriously. Never again. read more

This China 88 just moved locations from 291 at 5th in Lee's Summit to Woods Chapel Road. In fact, this place seemed to open up overnight when the Japanese Restaurant that was in the location suddenly closed for business. My husband called in for take-out one day and ordered our favorites: Broccoli with Tofu and fried rice for me and a lunch special of crab rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, and egg drop soup. Food was ready when promised - just a few minutes later, in fact, and everything tasted delicious. Plus - it was all under $13 for lunch for 2 with PLENTY left for tomorrow's lunch, too. Eating here is eventless but consistent, with a happy staff and a HUGE menu with large portions. Lots of parking and good hours. This is my local Chinese place, for sure. read more

You're losing a star 88, for several reasons, here are just a few... I realize you're going to drop that fry basket into oil hot enough to kill anything in just a few seconds, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to knock it on the inside of the trash can to release the fried bits from the previous batch of eggrolls, rangoon, etc. I don't pretend to know health code, but I'd say that's a violation of some sort. Frying a large batch of chicken chunks to keep on hand for use in the various fried chicken chunk dishes (sweet-sour, tso's, orange, sesame, etc.), and keeping it at room temperature before tossing them in the wok with their respective sauces, is really having an effect on the quality of meat. In other words, that crap becomes inedible after the second round of cooking. Stay away from the fried chicken chunks dishes. Moral of the story, some of their stuff is good, and some of their stuff is bad, but it's all pretty darn cheap, so quit complaining! read more

Best takeout/delivery in LS! Ever since our family moved here about a year ago, we have been looking for a REALLY GREAT Chinese delivery place, without much luck. That is, until a coworker told me we should try this place. I've never eaten in, just gotten delivery. (We already have a sit-down place we like.) However, China 88 has always been fast, fresh, and generally superb! My SO asked them to make his house lo mein spicy, and it was AWESOME. The crab rangoons have SO MUCH filling! Time it takes for food to arrive is standard, about 30 minutes I think. We've ordered from China 88 about half a dozen times in the last few weeks; it's so good! Also, they have SMALL-sized portions available, which is perfect for my child! And they're open until like, 10:30 pm! And you can order online!! read more

Not my favorite in lees summit. Price not bad. The hottest Mongolian Beef Recipe I've ever tasted. You might score a bit hire if you like lots of heat but if you are looking for sweet, savory, with a subtle kick go elsewhere. This Mongolian beef "tore down my city wall!" read more

The food was horrible I will never eat here again I literally gagged putting the soup in my mouth. The rice was so hard thought I broke my tooth. read more

China 88 is my go-to Chinese takeout. Combination meals are a deal (Entree, rice, soup, eggroll and crab rangoon for around $7.50). Shrimp lo mein is a steal (Small has more than 10 shrimp and a grip of noodles for less than $5). Food is good, albeit inconsistent in flavor. The cashew chicken has a couple of different tastes, depending on who's cooking. Both are good. Order with the "Beyond Menu" app and your takeout is ready in 10 minutes. read more

Probably needs more stars but found the food very frozen and deep fried. Not bad. Just not that good. Maybe I got spoiled by place near my former home that served fresh hot well done Asian food. Don't think I'll be back. Nothing here to crave. read more

China 88 was my family's go-to Chinese takeout place when we were living in the Lee's Summit area. Their portions are very generous- a basic lunch combination gets you soup, rice, an entree, and a set of crab rangoons or an egg roll. They have canned and bottled drinks, or, if you're eating in their dining area, they have fountain Coke products. The food was delicious and definitely a great price. Not very expensive at all. I will admit that their dining area decor is not stellar, but the food and prices more than make up for it. I would highly recommend China 88! read more

Love it. This is a family business; as such, yes, there are boxes against the wall. Yes, it really needs to be updated. China "88" is the year when the family opened the restaurant (1988). My review is more about the food, which is always fresh and delicious. The Crab Rangoon is a little different here - it is not the traditional star form. It is more like a scrunched up dumpling and tastes very sour cream and onion-like. One of my favorites. I also like going to the other Chinese spots in town; however, each is my favorite for different things. China 88 is outdated, but good. Give them a shot. read more

We like this family business for good food, good portions, and good prices. It is not fancy, but it is real. I love their egg foo yung and several other dishes. I appreciate this family's work as a small business run by them since 1988. read more

This place has the best crab Rangoon! They always have great service pickup and delivery is always on time

Cheap and terrible. Place is filthy. Crab Rangoon might be the worst I've ever had and that's hard to do. It's like they made them four hours ago and kept them under a heat lamp. Entree is just ok but just not worth it as it's so oily. Try to learn how to make Chinese yourself at home instead of going here. read more

I would not recommend this place. The food was very bland and the fried wontons were over cooked and stale. Panda Express is a better option then this establishment. read more

Ew. This place is the trashiest Asian restaurant I've been to in a while. There were literal open boxes stacked against a wall, there was paperwork and open containers scattered around the cash register, and the stench was unbearable. They took way too long to cook our 2 meals and the decor was just awful. I can see why the place was empty. Would not come again. read more

Boring good. Aikou a few blocks down is where it is. I tired the lo mein and other lunch specials. Lack of zing. This is the McDonalds of Chinese read more

Delivery order has taken over an hour (and counting) and I live 4 blocks away- when I called to see why it was taking so long I was told they were busy and I could come pick it up in 10 minutes. We ordered delivery because we've had a few drinks and didn't want to drive. A refund isn't an option. I was told I could come pick it up in 10 more minutes or wait 15 more minutes for delivery. We'll see how much longer it takes. As a first time order so far I am not impressed- food better be amazing. read more

Nice portions. I do think however they need to work on the interior of this place. Stacking boxes all over the place is not my ideal setting for a restaurant. Somebody needs to seriously help these guys with decorating and updated the inside. Good food though! read more

Food was average. I'm usually a sucker for crab rangoon, but these were mostly crunchy breading and had very little cream cheese inside. Also when I arrived to pick up my order, the woman who got my takeout bag was coughing into her hands and touching everything. read more

Solid Chinese food. It's a traditional Chinese place so there's not much they could've messed up. It's more of a takeout place than dine-in from the looks of it in that the kitchen was busy, but there was no one there. We came in to order carry out and the food was ready within about 15 minutes. We ordered a bunch of food..the large orders should've come with rice for each meat but we only received one for three of the orders. We'd already ordered noodles so it was nbd though. read more

There were TWO China 88s in Lee's Summit. The one on Woods Chapel Road is much better than the other. The food is always fresh and delcious, the service is very courteous and friendly, and the plates and glasses are really lovely. In contrast, the place on Melody Ln. was loud and the chicken was overcooked. We will only go to the one on Woods Chapel Rd. in the future, it is great. read more

We ordered Rangoon, Kung pow and orange chicken. Rangoon was crimped at top and not edible, all other dishes were not good. The flavor was like it was out of a jar. Kids even said something. read more

food is always made fresh when i eat here. if your eating chinese, this is your best bet in lees summit! prices are very reasonable and food is tasty and always smoking hot! the fact that they are open late and deliver late is very useful since i get work late and get hungry even later! Thats why i give it a 5 star!! The General Tsos' Chicken is only 7$ for a small order and i always substitute lo mein for white rice. They call it a small order but it's definitely more than enough food. I couldn't ever imagine ordering a large! read more

Horrible! Rude service, food taste old, rice has a funny flavor. Employee used only restroom to talk on phone while my grandaughter waited to use the restroom. I'm cringing right now hoping we dont get sick from this place read more

Well after going here for years I think it's about time I slap my 2 cents on the board. This is my family's "Go-to" Chinese food. Over the years I have had almost 1 of everything, and always have been satisfied. Food for the price comes in enormous portions, and not being able to eat all that goodness is the only empty feeling you will have after eating here. The basic Chinese dishes are delicious but I will suggest orange chicken over generals tso. The pork fried rice is a must with any dish, and the handmade crab rangoons are light and crunchy. If you're looking for good Chinese food at a good price, China 88 is the way to go. read more

We've been coming here for a long time, and we love it! Everyone's respectful and kind and we've never had a problem with the food. The restaurant is fairly clean and it's never crowded which makes it a nice place to have a quiet lunch with your family and friends(or by yourself). read more
