"Loved this place for years. We miss eating at the bar with Jason as a server. The fried shrimp rice is delicious. Jason introduced us to egg foo young, and it's a favorite. It's not on menu but they will make it."

"When we wanted authentic Chinese food, we always drove to Chinatown. Now that we’ve discovered this gem, we don’t have to anymore! If you’re looking for truly authentic Chinese cuisine, make sure to ask for the authentic Chinese menu — you will not be disappointed. The food is absolutely superb!! Blanca was our waitress, and she did a wonderful job guiding us through the menu. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!"

"Yummy sweet and sour fish, my god son even finished the head and tail. You will always have great food at 888 Bistro. Ask for my favorite restaurant lady Aly for any chef special. Love the food and atmosphere. Manager Jennifer always has that lovely smile to welcome you for dining in. We also had some delicious hot pot dinner . I had posted some dishes we love."

"This restaurant is a must try. The atmosphere was soothing. The restaurant is so clean and spacious. The tables are not close to each other. I ordered hot green tea with honey and loved it. The egg roll was very fresh. I could taste the vegetables inside. all the food was served hot. The egg drop soup was creamy and delicious, although the little crispy chips they served were a little stale. I ordered the beef fried rice and enjoyed it. I like mine with some hot oil and soy sauce. The serving was size good for the price. The staff is friendly and attentive. I'm glad We found this place. So far, this is the best chinese food we have found since being in HOUSTON for a few months. I hope you try this restaurant, and I hope your experience is just as wonderful."
