Nice heat, orange zest helps amplify the citrus. Just yummy. House fried rice was a little lacklustre by comparison, but it's not hateful. Generous amounts of protein and veg but the flavour isn't very deep. I mixed a little soy and fish sauce together and that helped to bring things together. Over all solid experience. More of a take out than a destination. The dining room is a little sparse. Counter service is good though.

Seeking something Asian I hadn't tried in the area before, I turned to an AI search which yielded…read morethis Chinese place. It was definitely more on the side of actually Chinese than American Chinese, based on the menu and the people working there. They did have a reasonable vegetable and tofu selection. Among the dishes that you don't usually see at the more American restaurants was a dry cumin tofu preparation. It had abundant cilantro, and I'm in the category of people who gets a weird soapy aftertaste with cilantro but still likes to eat it from time to time; this dish gave me a ton of aftertaste but was otherwise good. A ma po tofu had proper fermented bean paste and leeks, albeit not a ton of numbing sensation that I could discern which is really the bar for the best rendition of the dish. Their cabbage dish was described as "hand torn" and it strikes me that this is the sort of place where that's probably true, and it was a tasty saute and a nice contrast to the rest. Their online ordering system wanted to offer me a free egg roll for my order but wouldn't let me get a vegetable one. I wish they'd label some of the dishes more clearly for dietary needs or just plain description. But overall, it was solid food for a town with a relative dearth of this cuisine.

The seafood was cut into unusual and decorative shapes, while still being one inch or longer pieces. This dish included a basic Kung Pao gravy that was slightly sweet, sour and a bit spicy. There were stir-fried vegetables and peanuts in the dish, including fresh green pepper chunks. The restaurant has a large and broad menu and next time, I will try a more exotic dish.

This is close to campus and fits a need. I got dumplings filled with a modest amount of tofu and…read moreperhaps a vegetable too, with a side of cold noodles and a sesame peanut sauce. The fried dumplings were a bit light on the actual tofu I was hoping for, but the meal delivered a basic satisfaction. My white tea with lychee jellies tasted a bit overbrewed, but the sweet addition worked out well enough that I enjoyed it. The interior has a couple of seats but is quite spartan, and had an overly full trash can as all food was served in takeout containers. Overall, I would say it was a basic experience, but not a bad one.

So this is not going to be a 5 star everything is perfect review but rather the dumplings are so…read moregood that you need to get past the negatives. Unfortunately, the negative is the service. Please know they are so nice but they got my order wrong. I ordered two separate meals and got one meal with the wrong rice but at least we they got the number of Dumplings correct. My son who goes to UVA RAVES about this place so I had high hopes that were dashed with wrong order. Then I tried the unassuming dumplings and dipping sauce. I love dumplings and have eaten them even had Michelin recommended places like Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. I can confidently and completely say these are the best dumplings. I would get the wrong rice and wrong order so long as I got these dumplings. I can confidently say they are homemade and not some restaurant supply dumplings. I have been thinking of these dumplings since I had them. So good.

This dumpling shop has multiple locations. I found it quite confusing ordering online. Some of them…read morehave online ordering and others don't. They have confusing names. The menus have not always been the same when I looked. But to their credit, when I placed an order at the "downtown" location only to discover that they meant something other than Charlottesville's pedestrian arcade (which is where this one is), I was able to call them and get it corrected. My order was transferred over and was ready for me with no trouble. The vegetable dumplings weren't fancy, but there were a ton of them, and what seemed a small sauce proved more than enough. I also got a veggie bun, but the filling was so trivial as to not really be worth it. This place does have some space to eat in, although it seems most popular as a takeout.

The menu offers solid portions at a fair price, so we left with enough leftovers for another day's lunch. Our top picks? The Taiwanese popcorn‑chicken combo that crackled with crunch, a juicy pork chop crowned with scallions and a kick of chili, and a steaming bowl of beef noodles that hit all the right notes. Every plate was downright delicious. If you're hunting for a comfortable, no‑fuss spot that serves up genuine Taiwanese flavors, Café88 belongs on your diner‑tour itinerary.

As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed into a warm, clean, and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant felt well-organized, and the staff greeted us right away before showing us to a booth--our favorite type of seating. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, giving us plenty of time to look over the menu while also offering a few personal favorites when we had questions. That balance of great service and genuine hospitality really stood out. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Tom Yum Lemongrass Soup with pork and the Chicken Pad Thai, while my wife had the Wonton Soup and Drunken Noodles. Our friend chose the Dry Noodles with Duck and finished the meal with the Fried Banana Ice Cream for dessert. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and arrived surprisingly quickly. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed their meal. If you're looking for authentic Thai food, friendly service, and a relaxed dining experience, Thai Cuisine & Noodle House is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back!

I've been eating here for around 15 years and can no longer say they are the best Chinese in cville (look to Asian express or red lantern for this). Back in the day once on a blue moon you'd get some hard dry chicken in an entree and it just would be what it was because 90% of the time the food was fresh hot and good. Now it seems to be the norm to serve dry days old chicken in their entrees that basically sucks the moisture out of your mouth and stabs you while you try to eat it. Seriously so bad. Their dumplings and noodles are still fine but the main dishes with chicken has suffered severe declines in quality and every single time I eat here now it's bad. I am sorry Hong Kong - until you fix the issue with the chicken we can be bothered to waste our money here anymore.
