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.

Vegetarian options available. Great value lunchtime set menu…read more The dining room is nicely decorated and the seating comfy. Service is efficient if unsmiling for the most part. I think the lack of a warm welcome may be a cultural thing, so I make allowances, but a smile costs nothing. The food is hot, fresh and very tasty. The portion sizes are sensible at lunchtime, by which I mean not huge. Where dessert is concerned I'd give the european options a miss as they are nothing to write home about, but I don't usually have room for sweet anyway. Handy spot to break for lunch on shopping day.
