    There's inside dining but tables are crowded toward the entrance.
    Michael S.

    The lunch specials, of which there are dozens to choose from, are a very good value. For under $9, you get your choice of entree, side choice of rice, and a choice of crab Rangoon or eggroll. Gone is the soup that not long ago was also included.

    Mongolian Beef, pot stickers, egg roll, crab Rangoon

    88 China was my "go to" for Chinese food, they were quick with delivery, have some of the best food, and great to work with. The St. Charles location has their own delivery system they mark as "preferred". I placed an order at 6:14 pm tonight. An hour later I called to check on my order and they stated they didn't know when it would be delivered. It arrived at 7:50. The food was good, as usual, but not hot. My take-away from tonight's experience? Order from one of the platforms that do delivery or just order pick-up. Still recommend them for some great food, just opt for pickup.

    Not so clean tables

    I came in to pick up a to go order and was greeted within five minutes. The restaurant was not the cleanest. There was Papa John's Pizza on the tables in empty sauces that were scored on the tables. However, I believe they were busy with lunch rush as everyone was in the back cooking. The order was made fresh and ready within 15 minutes after I had arrived. I just wish they gave better timing as I was told my order would be ready within 5 minutes when I ordered but when I arrived I was told 15 more minutes so just a heads up would've been nice. Order was exactly how I ordered. I'm pretty plain Jane, and always get the beef and broccoli, but it is absolutely delicious!

    The "lunch special"

    Where's the rest of the food? Out of an entire serving container one tomboy corner is the king Paola chicken I ordered. Ok, where's the rest? Definitely cutting the portions down in size but hot the cost. This place used to be great. Big portions, tasty food, fast service. But that was a long time ago. I don't know how they're still open when you give a patron a giant plate of rice and tiny little portion of main dish. There are no excuses for this.

    I received a text that mentioned if I called in and spent $20.00 I could get a free item. When I called in to do this they told me I could only get an egg roll if I spent 20.00 or if we spent $25.00 we would be eligible for 4 crab ragoons. If you receive this text don't use it as this is a lie.

    Supposed to have chicken and we upgraded to white meat for a charge.

    The orange chicken was more like orange soup. The crab ragoon was aweful, the garlic chicken was skimpy on chicken. wouldn't recommend.

We were seated immediately, which we appreciated because we were tired and hungry. Since we already have our favorite dishes at Cate Zone, we knew exactly what to order as soon as our server came by. Our go‑to appetizer is always the beef tripe -- non‑spicy -- and it never disappoints. We always enjoy it with a bowl of rice, and the combination is incredibly comforting and flavorful. We also ordered the crisp shrimp with egg yolk, which is my 6‑year‑old son's absolute favorite. It's unbelievably tasty -- rich, crispy, and just out‑of‑this‑world good. For our last dish, we tried the crisp sautéed pork for the first time. This one didn't quite hit the mark for us. The flavor leaned sweet and salty with no spice, and it didn't have the same wow factor as the crisp shrimp we love so much. Still, it was worth trying something new. All our dishes came with a bowl of hot, steaming white rice, and everything arrived at our table in under 10 minutes -- their speed is impressive. The portions were generous, and we left completely full with leftovers to take home. Cate Zone continues to be one of our favorite spots, and experiences like this are exactly why we keep coming back.

    Food -- excellent! I ordered the broccoli and beef with white rice and an egg roll. Some…read morerestaurants use cheaper or inferior ingredients, but not here! The beef was tender. As you can see in the photo, there were a decent number of pieces, and they were substantial. Broccoli was stir-fried perfectly, cooked with a slight crunch. The amount of sauce was suitable, enough to coat the food without being excessive. The sauce was not too thick, not runny, and not too salty. The rice was fine, and the portion was sufficient. The egg roll was crisp and not greasy. Food is served with a packet of sweet and sour sauce, a packet of soy sauce, and a packet of chili powder. Packaging -- food is served in a plastic bowl with a clear lid and placed a brown paper bag. Value -- excellent! The meal I ordered was a lunch special. You can choose: 1) one entree from 30 options 2) white or fried rice 3) 1 egg roll or 2 crab rangoon. The price for all of this is $8.75 before tax and tip. For $0.70 more, you can add hot and sour soup or egg drop soup. Or for $1 more you can add wonton soup. All this to say, you can get a great lunch for about $10. Service -- great! The owner is nice. The speed of service is outstanding. The time it takes to get your food is as fast -- or even faster--than at fast food restaurants. Ambiance -- good. Almost all customers will order for carryout, but you can eat in the restaurant if you want. There are 3 or 4 tables. There is a fridge, if you want to order soda. Everything is clean. If you are looking for fine dining or a date night, you might be disappointed. But otherwise, the interior is perfectly fine. I highly recommend Emperor China!

The lamb pieces used to be small but they are huge now! Appreciate the owners taking the feedback. I think they make the tofu in house. They are huge thick soft pieces with enough crispness on the outside. It's a good introduction to how seriously Chinese people take tofu and how in other countries they have a huge variety of tofu, vs the select few we have in the U.S. And I used to be partial to the spicy fried fish at cate zone, but chilispot has upgrade this dish a lot. It's perfectly crispy and hot!!! Even if you don't like fish, it's a great dish and also makes for great leftovers. I know the fried chicken is popular but I find the chicken pieces are too small. Even with two heavy eaters, we still have leftovers for another meal
