    kung pao scallops

    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I often find that "elevated" Asian cuisine often loses a lot of the important authentic elements in an effort to create said elevated experience, but this wasn't the case here. The flavors of all the dishes we tried were very on point and it was just really impressive how they were able to transform home style dishes into a fancier version. I LOVED the jasmine tea cream puffs, amazing amount of jasmine tea flavor was infused in the custard filling. Service was lovely, as was the ambiance. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

    The 88 Club here in Beverly Hills is making some of the best, most elevated Asian food I've had since I've been to Singapore; and that's a mouth full! This lovely building which houses the 88 Club is smart and hip, but doesn't hold a candle to the decor inside. Let me put it this way: Even the cutlery and dishes were stylish. On to the food: * Mung Bean Jelly Noodles * Sesame Prawn Toast * Wygu Beef Chow Mein * Egg Rolls * 3 Cub Crispy Maitake * Charred Hot & Sour Cabbage * Black Sesame Ice Cream * Everything was fantastic, but my hat goes off to the Cha Siu Iberico Pork with hot mustard. This one dish spun me like a top - Wow! Obviously food this elegant comes at a price; and this dinner did. But, to be able to treat yourself to an experience this lavish is something you might want to do once in a while or on special occasions.

    This review is for the bar at 88 Club as we only had drinks and did not dine there. Both the dining room and the bar area are sultry and swanky. There's a beautiful large picture of 3 tigers on the wall that is the centerpiece of the dining room. The wine list is interesting, and I chose a very crisp white from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The bartender Michelle was super nice and explained how the land is that area is all volcanic rock, and holes must be dug in order to reach the soil and plant the vines. The martinis were also good and were served in a coupe glass. I would return again and try dinner as the menu looked interesting, although quite expensive.

    Woodward salad (4/5) Tofu skin (4/5) Shrimp toast (4/5) Egg roll (3/5) Wonton (5/5) the standout dish Rice cake (2/5) good flavor, but no protein, so it felt like eating mostly carbs Char siu pork (4/5) Roasted chicken (3/5) Mango sago (5/5) Milk tea bun (5/5) desserts were excellent and a highlight of the meal Service & atmosphere: Service was great and attentive. The restaurant has an intimate, dark lit setting, which creates a nice vibe overall. However, we were seated at a table near the entrance, and every time the door opened, bright sunlight came through, which disrupted the ambiance. Overall, a solid dining experience with standout desserts and good service just wish the portions were larger for the price.

    Read about this place in one of those magazines you find in the area. This place was mentioned in the Montecito magazine. We've probably passed by it numerous times and had no clue it's there. After 6pm, parking seems to be a little easier to come by in Beverly Hills. We parked in one of the lots that's normally paid by machine but after 6pm it's free. The place isn't huge but it doesn't feel cramped and it's nice and cozy. There's a bar area and seating area for dining in. The decor is nice and feels like a lounge with Asian flair. The bartender was very nice and helpful, as they have plenty of mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as a nice assortment of freshly brewed hot teas. Their menu is unique and we got there for last call for food so will definitely check out the food next time as it looked really good and had a lot of vegetarian and vegan options as well. I got the jasmine pearl tea, which was a nice, smooth, and floral green tea. The seating area in the bar section was very comfortable. The staff provided excellent service and were very welcoming and helpful to the menu. We saw groups with friends, and dates so it can be an atmosphere for both. They also had a good selection of hip hop and r&b playing. Parking: meters in the area, as well as affordable city-run lots. Prices: $8-$30 Atmosphere: great for friends or dates Dietary: vegan and vegetarian options available. Mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks available Service: excellent!

    I was really excited to try 88 Club! Our party of two came in for dinner during the week. The space is dark, cozy, and intimate -- smaller than it looks from the outside. We ordered several dishes to share: Sesame Prawn Toast, Rice Cakes, Eggplant, Cha Siu Iberico Pork, and Hiramasa Crudo. The Iberico Pork was the highlight -- super flavorful and tender. The Prawn Toast and Rice Cakes were also delicious; you can tell they use fresh ingredients and put care into the details. The Crudo was fine but nothing special. The Eggplant, though, was a miss for me -- it had a strange aftertaste and was a bit too salty. I'd love to see it served over rice or noodles for better balance. Overall, a cute spot with friendly, fast service. Great for a date night or small group dinner. Street parking or nearby garages make it easy to visit.

    I was eager to try this newish upscale Chinese restaurant because I've seen chef/owner Mei Lin on multiple Food Network shows. The restaurant is on Santa Monica Blvd almost at Wilshire. There's public parking behind, free after 6pm. The signage is small--a silver plaque and a door mat with the restaurant's name. The metal railing is emblazoned with the stylized Chinese character for wealth. Inside, the smallish dining room is dimly lit with dark walls; the Lazy Susans on the 4-tops are marble. There's a pink marble bar on the opposite side of the host stand. The relatively short menu offers mostly familiar Chinese dishes, elevated. And with elevated Beverly Hills prices. A must order, and my favourite dish of the meal, was the Sesame Prawn Toast, visually beautiful and absolutely delicious. There were 3 rectangular slices of pain de mie toast with a prawn filling that still had some texture, each topped with black and white sesame seeds and 2 dollops of hot mustard aioli and sweet and sour sauce. You are advised to smear everything all together. The hot mustard hardly registered as hot/spicy, more of a mustard-tinged aioli. Three orders of these ($38 each) would make a fine meal. The Prawn and Bamboo Shoot Wontons were fine, folded into hat-shaped circles. However, I was expecting much more flavour from the broth called Chicken Master Stock. The Nam Yu (fermented red bean curd) Roasted Chicken was half a chicken cut into 4 pieces. It arrives with a coffee-coloured sheen not unlike a Peking duck, but the skin is not crispy, it has been marinated in the Nam Yu for a deeply savory flavour. The chicken was very moist, and the mild ginger-scallion relish to spoon over it was fine. It's also topped with a lot of greens, mostly overpowered by cilantro, which easily overpowers everything. My veg of choice was the 3 Cup Crispy Maitake, tempura battered and fried maitake mushrooms with a 3 cup sauce that was very potent and made even more so with greens and the omnipotent cilantro. I found myself liking the un-sauced pieces more. My dessert was a nice Mango Coconut Sago (tapioca) with grapefruit, a refreshing lighter finish to a somewhat heavy meal. Overall a tasty but pricey meal. I'd certainly order the prawn toast again, but there are other noodle dishes, mains, veggies and desserts I'd like to try.

    Oh wow! Every plate was amazingly delicious. Up to this day, I still can't get over that cauliflower-yes!! Cauliflower!! Clams had all these different spices, it was pleasantly surprising. The shrimp cakes were definitely a treat. Good service and really liked the layout.

    Food is good but this place is quite overpriced. I'm Chinese and grew up in Hong Kong so definitely had some expectations coming in. And while the food was delicious, it wasn't mind blowing. Shrimp toast was probably my favorite! Cha siu is a close second, but it certainly should NOT cost $88. You can get juicier ones for less than $8 in Hong Kong. But anyways, secretive entrance and modern extravagant vibe. Staff are very friendly and professional. Portions are of good size too. Cute bar area. I'd probably only come back if hanging out with fancy friends who want fancy Chinese food.

    Fish Fragrant Eggplant
    Brian V.

    As of mid 2025 this is a new Chinese restaurant from Chef Mei Lin and co. Service style is classic family style with an elevated feel from the ingredients/flavors/ techniques to the level of service here. The space is darker with an intimate vibe. This place works great for a nice night out or meeting up with a group of friends to experience delicious elevated Chinese food. The cocktails were tasty as well. Came here as a part of a group of six people, so we got to order a good amount and share a lot of the dishes. The place isn't cheap, but with a good sized group, it didn't feel like a bad deal either, especially for the quality and service. What we ordered: - Chrysanthemum Salad - a nice refreshing salad with a more solid texture as far as salads go - Sesame Prawn Toast - so tasty. I think this is a must if you like prawns and serves as a great appetizer. - Prawn & Bamboo Shoot Wontons - delicious dumplings. - Charred Hot & Sour Cabbage - Mapo Tofu - has that slight numbing spice effect, but not overly spicy. I'm a fan. - Sweet & Sour Fish - there was a little pomp and circumstance when served (they pour over the sauce in front of you. Fun!) - Kung Pao Scallops - Cha Siu Iberico Pork served with hot mustard - nice familiar flavors - Fish Fragrant Eggplant - Nam Yu Roasted Chicken served with a scallion ginger sauce - Jasmine Milk Tea Custard Bun Honestly, I was just a huge fan of our entire meal and thought that we ordered really well. Parking: I think we all were able to find parking within a 2-3 block radius. There's quite a bit of metered parking in the area and if I recall, the limit ends around dinner time (so you just have to pay up until they stop enforcing)

    Hiramasa Crudo

    This is a cozy restaurant. I think it has about 22 tables. Perfect for a date night. But the noise level tend to go high when it is full. Bathroom was nice and clean. However, they have a motion light that starts at low and I had to crank it up because I can see much inside. I wasn't sure about the lock. Friendly and engaging staff. They made sure that we got a good experience. Food was phenomenal! This is the showcase. All the recommendations were spot on presentation and well seasoned. Cocktails were unique and refreshing. We were debating to order more to take home. But we thought it will not be the same. The only one we did get to-go was the desert (Jasmine Milk Tea Custard Bun). I was going to save the following day but we ended up finishing it at home. Mango Coconut Sago, Grapefruit - You must mix this dessert before taking a bite.

    Nam Yu Roasted Chicken

    Had a wonderful birthday celebration at 88C. Just about everything exceeded our expectations. Been eating exceptional Chinese food my whole life ranging from the best hawkers to Michelin rated fine dining restaurants and yet I was still impressed by the innovative flavor, quality and texture of their modern Chinese cuisine. I couldn't believe something as simple as wood ear and cucumber salad can be presented in refreshingly new way without drifting far from its classic flavor. Same can be said about the tofu skin salad. The other dishes that left the strongest impressions were the Nam Yu Chicken, sesame prawn toasts, sweet and sour fish and fish fragrant eggplant. The dishes that fell short were the Chasiu Iberico Pork and Wagyu chowmein. While the meat quality was exceptional, I felt the overall experience didn't justify the premium charged and frankly a bit gimmicky and unnecessary. I've had chasiu and chowmein in many Cantonese restaurants at a fraction of the price that were juicier, more tender and more satisfying. This is the only reason I didn't give a 5 star review. However I still highly recommend 88C if you want a truly exceptional dining experience that will liven up your senses in a tastefully designed dining room.

    Sesame Prawn Toast
    Noesh H.

    We had an amazing experience at 88 Club. The restaurant embodies a members only ambiance, with a swanky cocktail bar. The restaurant has very limited tables/seating, so it's really important you make a reservation. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was trained very adequately on the entire menu, different food palettes, cocktail pairings etc. Some recommendations are: sesame prawn toast, mung bean noodles, the chicken and pork dishes! This is a really good take on Chinese fine dining.

The restaurant was bright and clean, and as I looked over the menu, my stomach growled even louder. A friendly gentleman came in and stood near us, then began chatting with my boyfriend and me; he told us about their awesome lunch specials and said he's eaten here many times. Upon his recommendations we got one of orange chicken and one broccoli with beef - two classic Chinese dishes - can't go wrong! We ordered our food to go and the smell was driving me wild on the ride home. The orange chicken was perfect - not too sweet and the batter had the perfect crunch. My BF enjoyed the broccoli with beef and shared some with me. We were very pleased with our meals and definitely recommended Chef Ming's! Would definitely eat here again!

Even their dim sum items are discounted during lunch too so I got all my favorites like shumai, radish cakes, green onion pancakes, string beans, and even the rainbow xiaolongbao sampler which is basically Russian roulette for you to guess the flavor of each. But the real sleeper on the menu are the sweet & spicy corn ribs. Love the nod to the Asian taste profile, and it's sooo satisfying to eat! Thanks for reading! ^-^

I've been coming here for the past two years, and their quality is stayed consistently high, if not even improving! They also have an amazing cocktail menu (which is more unusual for dim sum spots) and weekday lunch special menu from 12-3 PM, which features select dim sum and traditional Chinese dish combos at VERY affordable prices (all under $20). Honestly, everything I've tried on every visit has been AMAZING, but I highly recommend asking your waiter for recommendations and specials, since I've been able to try so many new dishes that I probably wouldn't have ever ordered.

Everything was enjoyed however my boyfriend didn't enjoy the hour and sour soup so it was swapped for the wonton. The wonton soup was yummy.

Customer Service: (5/5) The waiter was very nice throughout. She was very endearing as she talked to my girlfriend in chinese and also kind to me when speaking in english. When asked about dishes and proportions, she was very knowledgeable and honest. Food: (4.5/5) We ordered the Mapo Tofu and Meizhou Special Fried Rice with chicken. The food came out within 10 minutes and the portions, as I saw on previous reviews, were generous enough for us to share and be full. The Mapo Tofu came out on a hot ceramic bowl. It wasn't as spicy as I thought, not overly spicy but just enough where you get that numbing kind of sensation in your mouth that leaves you wanting more. The beef wasn't like the ground beef you see in other mapo tofu, but more of chunkier pieces which I wasn't a big fan of as it didn't seem spread evenly. The Meizhou Special Fried Rice with chicken was probably one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever had. You can tell it was made from a wok and the flavors were just incredible. The chicken seemed to have been friend separately and added on top afterwards but the saltiness of the chicken didn't take away from the fried rice at all. Instead, it added to the flavor and made it all so enjoyable. For the ultimate experience, I'd recommend eating both together to maximize your palette!

Chopsticks arrive without spoons, and when you ask for one, you get silverware instead of the porcelain you'd expect at Chinese restaurant.
