I had a GrubHub delivery from this restaurant yesterday, and 100 per cent pleased. I'm gonna say it's the best Chinese food I've found in my 15 years in the area. Crab Rangoon, excellent. Sweet & Sour chicken, excellent - succulent tender white meat and very flavor pleasing breading. And the Chicken fried rice! Definitely THE best fried rice anywear. One serving fed me 3 meals! Loaded with more nice big pieces of tender white meat chicken. Will come inside to sit soon and try the other dishes. Chef kiss!! read more

3.3 stars is all I would give for this popular Chinese food in cathedral city . The beef chow fun was lackluster with no "wok hey" and not very flavorful. The noodles were not your normal rice noodles but it was plentiful in volume . The chicken with mixed vegetable would have been better if stir fried . The chicken in the dish was anemic boiled . The fried rice with the mixed vegetables was bland with unusual color and taste . Not my best experience but it is cheap eats . read more

This is our neighborhood Chinese restaurant. My hubby & I love the big bowl of Wor Wonton Soup. It's got Chicken, Pork & Shrimp with the veggies. Plenty for 2! We usually order a noodle dish but tonight we ordered Shrimp Fried Rice and added Pineapple for $2. Delish! The restaurant is big with lots of booths and tables. The young girl came by our table at least 5 times checking on us. If you haven't tried China 8, you should! read more

I am shocked at any rating below 5 stars. Everything I've tried has been EXCELLENT. Kung Pao chicken is my go-to and I've honestly never had better. read more

Very good food at very reasonable prices. Fast and attentive service. Take out food is always hot at pick up.

Food quality has bottomed out. I've been going here for years. Not anymore. Prices up quality gone. Flat no flavor.

The best Kung pao chicken I have EVER had! So tasty and spicy. Its better than any I've had in LA or the desert!

I've had some decent meals from there but I've never had Chinese ribs before. Today I had the honey ribs but apparently the Chinese don't cook ribs the same way Americans do. I was expecting soft, juicy ribs but these were the complete opposite. I could only eat half of each rib and would certainly never order them again. read more

Love there food every thing is bomb service is great and friendly food comes out fast and fresh

We have gone here many times. Usually order the same thing orange beef and General Tso chicken. Did they get a new Szechuan chef? Both were extremely hot and we love spicy, but these two were virtually inedible and we ended up tossing some of it as we couldn't eat it. We will try again but for the first time we'll have to tell a restaurant to tone down the spice level. read more

WOW! My family and I live in Arizona, and we're used to sub-par, cheap Chinese food in our area. It's truly a family comfort, and affordable.... This is by far the cheapest and most delicious place we've been! 10.95 daily specials, INCLUDES A DRINK (75 cents for a refill, though, but still a huge bargain)! It came out piping hot in 10 minutes despite it being slightly busy. It's also nice and cool in here despite being in the middle of summer. Service was pretty good but not outstanding; they were friendly with every interaction so far. Portions were very large and food delicious! Tables are set pretty close together; I could imagine it being a bit overstimulating if each table was full. Overall amazing, best Chinese I have had and the cheapest. We'll be adding this to our vacation stops next time we're in the area. read more

I use loved this place so much. I was so disappointed last night. The food looked off. I ordered egg foo with beef. Fried rice and noodles Well the dish came out and I knew this was not going to be good. The egg foo had chopped meat thrown on top of the egg foo covered in gravy. The fried rice (not fried rice) its bad no flavor It's basically steamed rice with a little egg a little veg with a prob soy sauce to color BUT IT WAS NOT FRIED RICE. The rice was like steamed gross. The noodles were nasty tasting flavorless .. I am not being ugly or rude but I make better to Roman noodles (flavorless and watery) the egg roll was good and so was the hot tea. $12 down the drain! I guess I will drive further into PS and go to my little Chinese hole in the wall... however, the staff at china 8 are really nice but I won't be going back. Glad I didn't wake up with food poisoning read more

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. read more

China 8 is a real good Chinese restaurant. I go there once a week easily but I'll tell you although they have great specials and it's a lot of food at a good price. I go there for their war wonton soup. It's fantastic. It's probably the best in all of the city war wonton soup. It's got shrimp pork chicken vegetables. It is great. It's about $11 or so. It's enough for two, but you should just be one person enjoying it. It'll fill you up. It's a great dinner. It's a great lunch. I would buy an extra one to take home if I were you it is really good. read more

First time visitor. Ordered cashew chicken and it was served hot and remarkable fast for a carryout order. The portion size was huge with plenty of chicken and cashews. However, it lacked the needed flavor for 5 stars. The restaurant was jammed at 6pm on a Monday night ... a good sign. I'll visit again this week. read more

Best Chinese in the Valley!!! LOVE the quality of their food Great service & a lot of menu selections. Definitely generous amount of food for the price. (we often get enough to eat 2 meals) .. :) and every time it is meticulously packed. AND... FAST grubhub delivery (thats what we use) We only do delivery its so much easier for us. the restaurant itself while spotless with great service is in an OLD building & last time we went it was a bit frayed around the edges - dont let the looks put you off tho. its a Great restaurant..and they were smart enough to go to delivery during 2020 & the quality they offered even then never faultered. highly recommend - my fave is the lemon chicken & the beef broccoli read more

Food tasted like chemicals, the main male server just stares at you the whole time and not pleasantly. Orange chicken was mushy and flavorless, white rice had a plastic taste. Won't be back. read more

We had the orange chicken it was huge pieces and the coating was mush. I will never go back.

Great quality to price ratio. Invariably delicious. Our go-to for Chinese to go in Palm Springs.

Excellent food Kudos to the Kitchen staff ,neglected service after 7:45 pm , servers eager to go home , no condiments or sauces at the tables ,cold beverages no straws if your restaurant don't want to give service ,then offer TO GO orders only and then everyone can focus on closing tasks. read more

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 read more

i'm fairly new to the area. I'm from the LA area which has amazing Asian food everywhere and at a great price. Sadly the valley is sorely lacking in this department. I saw that the place didn't have very good reviews but neither did anywhere else and this is the closest place to me so I thought I would give it a shot. I was very pleasantly surprised. I had ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables and the chow mein. The chow mein was absolutely delicious. The best I've had. Most of the time I don't really like trying chow mein because I find it dry and the noodles are usually all thick. These noodles were soft and flavorful. My friend ordered the teriyaki chicken which honestly didn't look that great because they poured a bunch of sauce all over it so if you are going to order this dish definitely ask for the sauce on the side. My chicken and veggies was perfect. And The price was extremely reasonable. This will definitely be my new place from now on and I'm glad I found it. read more

Depends on who is in the kitchen! First dinner visit I got my favorite, Singapore Chow Mei Fun. Not spicy at all, disappointing, Noodles were a plenty, but other usual ingredients were missing or in short supply, like chicken,pork or shrimp, Onions, bean sprouts were also in short supply. Visit 3 days ago, I had lunch special. Shrimp Mei Fun dinner on inside cover page for $11.99. Tiny egg roll, 6 pieces of shrimp, noodles with a brownish sauce, again disappointing. Flies in dining room. But there is NO EXCUSE for FLIES in dining room! This is a mark of cleaning shortcuts. What else is wrong in food prep/storage areas? I'll pass on other visits. Staff very attentive and polite. read more

The food was delicious and hot. The service was attentive and prompt, as well as polite. The restaurant was very clean and decorative in some regards. I will gladly come again--when I visit again to Palm Springs. read more

The steamed dumplings were cold, hard, and had no flavor. Besides tasting old that is. They said 10 minutes but it took longer. Very disappointed in the dumplings. I was looking forward to them. I tried the walnut shrimp. It was ok. Seemed old. Too much broccoli. For the price they give you very little. But it was shared between my grandparents. I tried some of the rice also. It was yummy and so was the war wonton soup. read more

We ordered take-out. Food was well prepared, good portion size and hot. Best Chineses I've had since moved to the Valley 6 years ago.

Nice solid Americanized Chinese food. We picked up take out. Potstickers, hot and sour soup and Kung Pao chicken. Everything was hot and delicious. Prices are good, portions are good, we will get a few meals out of our leftovers. Plenty of parking, busy lot. Looking forward to trying other dishes. read more

I've been going to this place for a very, very long time, the food is good, even during the pandemic they opened for takeout order, which make it very easy for people who need to grab something and go. I do recommend this restaurant. read more

I was highly recommended to dine here by a friend who said the food here is some of the best Chinese food he's had in the Palm Springs/Cathedral City area. Unfortunately, my first-generation Chinese palate said "No." I am embarrassed that the Chinese who work here are serving up mediocre food where some of the flavor profiles are off. While the Combination Fried Rice (aka Yang Chow Fried Rice) and the Mu Shu Pork were good, some of the other dishes we ordered were bad. Hot & Sour Soup was neither hot nor sour. It was Sweet and Salty. My friends asked for vinegar and ground white pepper in order to correct the flavor of the soup. Kung Pao Three Ways (beef, chicken and shrimp) had the wrong flavor profile as well. It tasted as if someone mistakenly put in hoisin sauce into the mixture. The Stir Fried Green Beans weren't properly seasoned. It had an off flavor to them, which was the reason why 1/3 of the plate was left untouched. While they state that they are best Chinese food in Cathedral City, that bar for the best Chinese food must be very low to the ground. This place is a pass for this Chinese foodie. read more

The food was horrible no flavor no spice and soggy don't do it kept asking is every 10 minutes everything ok over here

Fantastic authentic Chinese cuisine. One of very few chinese restaurants that still offer Egg Foo Young. Even though egg prices are currently out of this world, our 2 dinners were less than $25! Included drink! Can't beat at other Chinese restaurants or most restaurants for that fact. See take home box- unbelievably FANTASTIC! read more

We have gone by this restaurant for years seeing people with carry out bags. We decided to stop there a couple weeks ago around dinner time. They have a big menu including a "special" with about 10 dishes that include steamed rice, fried rice, or lo mein, an egg roll, and a drink, all for $10.95!! I had the shrimp egg foo young and my wife had the pork chop suey. Both delicious, fresh, and hot! We went again tonight and I had to get the shrimp egg foo yung again because of my first experience. It was amazing!! My wife's kung pao chicken was delicious too! Fast service, clean interior, and friendly staff! This will be our go-to from now on! read more
