I've had plenty of bad Chinese food in my day, but somehow I always manage to polish it all off. This is one of the exceptions. I couldn't force myself to eat more than a few bites. I got sweet and sour chicken, my friend ordered a beef dish, and we split fried rice. The sweet and sour chicken reeked of vinegar, and didn't disappoint with a heavy vinegar taste. The beef was in a sauce that I care not to remember. The rice I don't really recall because I was too busy trying to get the tasted of vinegar out of my mouth. The only reason it isn't a one star is because it's open late.

Not once did he come by to see how we were doing. We ordered the chicken tikka masala. It's ala cart so you have to order rice separately and you have to order naan separately, etc. the dish came out and it looked good but they were stingy with the amount of chicken. It gets worse, I took a bite and it tasted like someone dumped a bag of sugar in it . Tikka masala should never ever be this sweet. This tasted like some kind of dessert. I wanted to spit it out but we were hungry so we ate it begrudgingly. I've had this dish many times around the world and this was by far the worst version. The sugar drowned out all the spices. The only saving grace was the tandoor chicken itself was tender and delicious. The garlic naan itself was fine, and it was pretty big. Glad we only got one. I honestly can't recommend this place based on my experience.

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.
