88 China Bistro - Charlotte

I've been to 88 since relocating from New England, and it’s always my go-to spot. I ordered the Asian chicken, Sa Cha chicken, beef, and...

This is the only Chinese restaurant I’ll order from in Charlotte! I’ve never dined in, but I had a fantastic experience ordering through DoorDash.

The food is decent, and I believe it has the potential to improve. The staff, however, are extremely friendly!

The beef chow fun was amazing! It was rich in flavor and had that perfect wok hei that Uncle Roger always talks about. They even trimmed the tops and bottoms off the bean sprouts, so there’s no unwanted texture. It’s fantastic to find a family-run restaurant that serves such high-quality food. I believe they’re still doing takeout only because of staffing challenges due to COVID, but I can't wait to enjoy a meal there in person when they reopen!

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, I decided to try 88 China Bistro since my usual Chinese takeout was closed, and I'm so glad I did! The Singapore noodles might just be the best I've ever tasted! The egg rolls were wonderfully flaky and crisp, while the sesame chicken was absolutely perfect. The staff was friendly, and they even wished me a happy Year of the Tiger! I was also impressed by the safety measures they had implemented to protect everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic. Without a doubt, this will be my new go-to for Chinese takeout. I give it a 10/10!
