Reviews
Service was very prompt. Very decent food and the portion was very generous, the place was packed for a Thursday night.
Allergies were attacking me badly so I do what I do best and that's order my favorite Hot n Sour soup, large size, from China 8. Couldn't resist, got the 6 fried (tempura) shrimp too. The gal at the front was so sweet and courteous with a smile. Thank you China 8 for making me feel better
I have been going to China 8 since they opened many years ago in Cathedral city. The first opening was a lady whose name escapes me (I think it was Sue). Then came David who was here for years, until he opened an all you can eat buffet at the Palm Springs mall ( which sadly was torn down along with JC Penny's and Gotshalks. The thing I can say is the quality of the food has remained the same. My kids grew up on China 8 and now I take my grandkids to China 8. Thank you for serving the food we love for the past 48 years. Customer service abounds, if something is wrong? No questions asked, they will fix it!!!!
Last time I've been here had to be decades ago when I lived here as a kid. Glad to see it's still kicking. Of course I don't remember those experiences. Either way came here for lunch with my aunt who has been coming here for decades. Got there around lunch time, half full inside, service was quick and good, attentive for the most part. Place of course was clean and kept up. But the lunch deal that they have for the food is definitely worth it and the portion sizes are very generous to where someone like me can eat until I'm full and yet still have enough leftovers to take home and have another good sized meal later that night. Of course on top of the that, the most important thing was the food tasted great! If you dine in for lunch I think you get tea and an egg roll I think compared to not getting those if you get take out. Just the meal for the same price. Either way, my aunt got a bunch more food to go to take home to the family and I was happy with my meal and the amount I still had to take home with me. Of course if you look at the ratings from everyone, it's not as high as I'm giving it. But until they disappoint, which I hope it doesn't. I'm going to be frequenting this place more often.
First time there today was the best Chinese food I've had probably ever. Not fancy place but very good food my husband said that the shrimp Kung pal was the best he's ever had and he doesn't like Chinese food. I would totally recommend this place I'm going back for sure next week. Thank you
