China 88
Description
China 88 has garnered a range of opinions, capturing both high praise and disappointment. Diners commend the restaurant for its fresh, flavorful dishes, particularly the spicy Szechuan bean curd and vibrant Orange Chicken, noted for its quality ingredients. Instances of excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere enhance the overall experience. However, some patrons express dissatisfaction with food quality, citing dry items and incomplete orders, which detracts from their enjoyment. Despite these mixed reviews, the restaurant shows promise under new ownership, with efforts to improve customer service and food standards, making it a place worth trying.

Feedback
This review criticizes a rude woman who doesn't include the complete order in the delivery bag for drivers and then blames the drivers for the mistake. The reviewer feels that the woman is at fault for not properly packing the food and suggests that she should at least include the receipt outside the bag for drivers to double-check the order. The bags are stapled shut, making it impossible for drivers to open and check the contents. The reviewer is disappointed that the woman shifts blame onto the drivers instead of taking responsibility for her actions.
The Orange Chicken Lunch Special at China 88 costs $7.95. As a fan of American Chinese cuisine and a frequent traveler, I have visited many Chinese takeout restaurants across the country. China 88 stands out for serving some of the freshest lunch options nationwide. In major Chinatowns like those in NYC, DC, Boston, Chicago, and China itself, I have found few competitors when it comes to using fresh ingredients in their dishes. One standout example is the orange chicken, which contains visible pieces of orange peel in the sauce. I have dined at China 88 multiple times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend trying their dishes - they are both awesome and delicious.
I absolutely adore the spicy Szechuan bean curd and vegetables at this restaurant! Be sure to request it extra spicy. The service is fantastic and the food is delicious.
