The Scene – It's not much to look at, but the remarkable food at reasonable prices attracts gourmets and everyday diners alike. Housed in a circa 1950s, blond-brick box near the recently upgraded Gulfgate Mall, 888 offers a few booths and simple table setups, with the utilitarian atmosphere softened only by a few "lucky bamboo" plants and decorative lanterns. The service is brisk, yet amiable. – – The Food – Dishes are mostly of the Hunan-Szechuan variety, with well-seasoned meat and seafood.

Losing my lovin feeling
by opinion2008
I sure hope they try to kick this place up a notch again. As an east side resident, I have been dining here since they opened but the food is just not as good as it used to be. Still a thousand times better then the chain Panda Express down the street, but I hope they make whatever changes are needed to improve their quality. Staff is always very nice and surprisingly attentive for a restaurant that stays pretty busy.
- Pros: Easy to grab a quick dinner
- Cons: food seems not as good as it was

I've been at 888 several time and i gotto say its seriously a good chinese place. I usually go the Lai Lai dumpling house but i decided to try this place...it not the most inviting place on the outside but it completely changed once youre inside...its relatively small but they make it work. the service is good most times. the food i REALLY good. what ever it is you order, i guarantee is going to be nothing less than good. I dont personally drink but you im sure you can get all sorts of different drinks judging by the big bar they have near the entrance. Ive read people say its crowded at lunch...well ive been there twice for lunch and ive gotten a seat with no wait, maybe i just lucked out. the lunch special is REALLY good for the price. overall i love this place, its cozy, its got great food, and its always a pleasant experience.
- Pros: Great Food/Good presentation/Good service
- Cons: crowded at lunch?
