The restaurant also does take away and is located on the Sandgate within the main town centre. There is a few parking spaces nearby and if your out for an evening meal the parking area is normally quiet so that shouldnt be a problem. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. An ideal place for family meals, birthdays or anniversaries for something a bit more special.

There are seats around the walls inside, a tiled floor, television on the counter, everything clean and well looked after. The lady who served us two weeks ago was very pleasant and we didn't have long to wait. It's just around the corner from the main shopping street of the town and overlooking Loch Gilp, close to the children's playground.

I thought I had found the best takeaway in Ayr the last time I visited this place…read more Wow - was I wrong. Don't misunderstand me. The Lucky Star is a stunning Fish and Chips takeaway but the Eighty 8 is dishing out a level of quality I have not seen for a while. The Lucky Star is also a mighty trek from the city centre and I had to catch a train. First off a disclaimer. I found this place after being at the Ayrshire Whisky Festival. So, was I slightly pissed? Oh Yes. But despite this, I will share my opinion. I am a pain in the butt when it comes to Chinese Food. I like particular dishes. Always have. I always order Singapore Rice Vermicelli. It is really a melange of cuisine with Rice Noodles, Curry, Seafood, CharSui Pork and Chinese Vegetables. Most places cannot make it. They screw it up. Noodles are too thick, the pork is wrong, they mess up the spices, etc etc. The Eighty 8 pulled it off perfectly. Great heat, enough curry, great mix of ingredients. Wow. Too bad it is in bloody Ayr or I would be back - a lot. So, get yourself down here. I would phone ahead or you will have a 30 minute wait ahead of you. The fact that they takes longer usually means the staff uses fresher ingredients. I am always suspicious of places that can churn out a dish in under 4 minutes. It makes me think that some corners are cut and some things are pre-made and microwaved. The dishes from the Eighty 8 hit a bar that I have not seen reached for a very long time. Congrats.

For sitting in there is a nice atmosphere with up to date music playing in the background. The menu offers a wide range of foods and they cater for veggies!! There is a large selection of meals available from the menu, from starters to sweets. The traditional chinese food, such as pancake rolls, Won Tun soup and Blackbean dishes, are available as well as traditional British meals such as steak and fish and chips. All in all this is my favourite chinese in Kilmarnock.
