Absolute the worst. Food was inedible, called to let them know and she clearly wasn't happy about me saying so. She said if I brought the food back I'd get a refund so I did. Was unapologetic and rude. Highly recommend to skip this place if you don't like dry everything. read more

It's not good, it's not bad. Mid. Crab rangoons are just cream cheese. Everything is way over battered and a bit greasy. Spare ribs are good. Teriyaki sticks were good too. Egg rolls were not it, the filling had no punch and was sparse. General Tso's didn't have a ton of flavor but the chicken was tender. Kung Pao beef had good flavor but was mostly vegetables. Pork fried rice was greasy, lacked flavor. I'm always suspicious of a PuPu platter that is 90% chicken fingers and chicken wings. Anyhoo, if you go in with mid expectations you will be fine! read more

The food was delicious and still hot when it arrived. I'd prefer less batter on the chicken fingers and the scallion pancakes thinner. But everything was good. read more

Wow a hidden gem for sure was so shocked first time getting takes out from here and food was so good i can taste the passions in the food this place is the real deal.. read more

Hong Kong 888 Cafe - Fair price - Chinese Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

Such nice folks who run this restaurant (mostly takeout) and the food is reliably fresh, consistent, and delicious. Especially their hot & sour soup, dry diced chicken with hot chili, and my new favorite, Singapore rice noodles. Hong Kong 888 has quickly become one of my favorite go-to choices! read more

Portions and Quality goes hand in hand at the Hong Kong 888 Cafe. Only 7 minute from my home they are a great place for a quick pickup of piping hot Chinese food. The dinner specials are tops in our list and never disappoint. My favorite dish is the King Pao Chicken with Veggie Fried Rice and Boneless Spareribs. Huge portion, tasty and in my eyes, relatively healthy. Give them a shot! read more

Hong Kong 888 Cafe - Kung Pao Chicken with Boneless Spareribs and Vegetable Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant around. We've tried a bunch of places over the years and are always disappointed with food from anywhere else. Hong Kong 888 has the most delicious food by far. We love their crab rangoons, hot & sour soup and everything else we've tried has been great quality too. read more

If you need a large order / catering for an event this restaurant is very helpful and accommodating in working with you to put an order together. For an end of year school party we ordered: beef and broccoli, orange chicken, vegetable chow mein, crab Rangoon, spring rolls with pork, veggie spring rolls. Restaurant provided utensils, lots of dipping sauces and fortune cookies. All the food was satisfying and delicious except for the veggie spring rolls. Only wish is that they offered more veggie options than just broccoli to be paired with meat dishes. Overall, great experience, friendly and accommodating staff who will deliver and I would order again. read more

Service is excellent. Food quality is fresh. This is only takeout place. Very reliable read more

This is my new favorite Chinese takeout place in West Roxbury and Roslindale! They have the best quality of food for sure. They are a bit more expensive than the other restaurants, but it's worth it and the portions are huge. They're mostly a takeout/delivery place, but they do have two tables inside if you dine in. Street parking if you do takeout is pretty easy to find. I've had their Lunch and Dinner Special General Tso's Chicken, Singapore Rice Noodles, and Shrimp Lobster Sauce. Their General Tso's Chicken is what they're known for and it's pretty good! There's a lot of breading on it, but it's very crispy and crunchy. I get it with chicken wings and pork fried rice (comes with white rice or pork fried rice and choice of appetizer when you order it as a special). Their dinner portion is only a little bit bigger than the lunch portion and isn't worth the extra $4. The Singapore Rice Noodles were delicious and goof if you enjoy spicy noodles. The shrimp lobster sauce was average and tasted like other places. Overall, a great place to satisfy your Chinese food craving! read more

Hong Kong 888 Cafe - Outside - Chinese Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

Thought I'd drop my favorite Chinese place a positive review as I put in another order: I've been ordering from here regularly for almost ten years and am obviously a fan. I order the same thing every time so I can't comment on how their various menu options shake out, but chicken & broccoli and orange chicken dishes we get are very consistent, as are the white rice and crab rangoons. You will absolutely get a bang for your buck since they stuff the containers full, and the folks who work here are very friendly to boot. read more

Great American Chinese Food! The service is friendly. The take out is packed well. No complaints.

First time ordering Chinese food on my side of town, soooo i turn to Yelp of course. This place had 4 out of 5 stars so I definitely thought it was a good choice. I'm not gonna drag this out. I spent $120. Beef n broccoli, vegetable delight, egg rolls, chicken teriyaki, vegetable lo mein, shrimp fried rice, crab Rangoon, egg foo Yung, and lobster sauce. So some were small orders some were large, everything looked and smelled great. But everything and i do mean everything lacked real flavor. Very bland. So we doctored it up some. Other than that it was ok. Everyone's tastebuds are different. read more

The nicest family owns and runs this neighborhood gem. Food is outstanding! Order delivery directly from the restaurant and it's super fast!

Not good. Rice hard and no flavor. Chicken was not good and the lobster sauce was trash. They doing a way to need up food

Not sure how you get my deliveries here that fast. Think you may have some neural link to my brain... that being said.....very impressed. The food is fantastic. Gets to my house hot, the fried items are crunchy and crisp and the food is tasty. Worth the online order when you need large cheap portions of good Chinese food. read more

We are new to the area and read good reviews for this spot. We only wanted take out. When we arrived it was evident that this was not a spot one can go and eat at, which was fine. We then brought the food over and discovered that the taste wasn't fresh and after having our meal started to get a bit sick. I am writing this the day after eating this food and we still have an upset stomach. Would not order take out from here again. read more

The people who work here are so kind and helpful! We lost our order on Uber eats and they volunteered to track them down for us. They were super patient and went out of their way for us when lots of places likely wouldn't have. Food was good too of course, but wanted to give a shout out to the staff here read more

Foods are good. Prices are too high !! Two apps, one entree, two egg rolls and a lg. Lo Mein. Just over $80. That's high for this neighborhood read more

Love their food. Efficient and never disappointed! Highly recommend! Never had a bad meal!

How is this place busy? They have half their food on the floor pre-made. The cooks are outside in aprons on their phones. Yuck. Better choices elsewhere read more

Food is usually good. Service was nice at first but kind of ruined. But most recently the person who called us back was just rude and nasty.

Food not very tasty. Was disappointed in what I ordered. Typical low end Chinese food restaurant.

Covid info first: easy to order on Grubhub and picked it up at a table they had right when you walk in. I would say make sure you leave yourself enough time to find parking if you are in a rush. I grabbed the last spot near by and it was fine for a grab and go. Just something to be mindful of! It's street parking no meters. Food review: The food here was everything I was hoping it would be. Some Chinese restaurants you have parts of the meal you like but other parts not so much. For instance, issues I normally notice in other restaurants include having the rice being to dry or the meat being too chewy. This was not the case for this restaurant, it was delicious start to finish. The fried rice was not over cooked and had depthless in flavor; the pork lo mein was flavorful; the sesame chicken was tender and not too chewy; the broccoli was seasoned just right; the beef teriyaki also had great texture and not too chewy; and the udon noodles were yummy and were the icing on the cake. I loved every bit of that dinner and I plan on ordering from them again this weekend. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Hong Kong 888 Cafe - a plate of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

Overall decent, but don't get the pork fried rice combo. They barely put any pieces in there. If it wasn't for the chicken and pork egg roll, I would've been starving still. read more

This place had great reviews, so we thought we'd try it. We ordered take out: house fried rice (w/o pork), chicken in black bean sauce, "Happy Family," and pepper Steak. It was pretty good. My wife is pretty particular about Chinese food, and she like them: the fried rice in particular. They only have street parking. The service was really good. They packed the takeout like pros. Will definitely come back. read more

Not many places open for takeout with Covid but this was. Saw previous reviews which were good and I had passed by many times. Ordered by phone and paid by credit card. Very respectful of social distancing with a nice set up to get your food so that no close contact. Had full view of clean kitchen through the window. Food was delicious. Kung pao chicken medium spicy and very tasty. Had both hot and sour and egg drop soups which were outstanding. Lots of food and giant chicken wings in the pu pu platter. My new take out even after all This over read more

Best Chinese food I have had in over a decade if ever; hole in the wall would of never known about it had I not had DDash deliveries from there. I would say from Roslindale to Westwood, Milton, for CHINESE food now I get it. no sit down 1 table only everything made to order couldn't be nicer people and holy crap; this food is amazing and Im not easily impressed but they get 5 stars if there were 10 i would amazing food read more

This is a pretty sold local go-to for Chinese-American food- the classics we non-Chinese Bostonians grew up with, and want delivered fresh and fast to our door for a reasonable price. Their fried items (things like apps and Sesame Chicken) are nice and crispy, their entrees have decent flavor and aren't greasy, and they have plenty of combo options to satisfy whatever appetite or craving you might have. I do so enjoy the very-Americanized General Tso's and Sesame/Orange/Sweet & Sour Chicken type dishes, but I appreciate the amount of entree options Hong Kong 888 has that aren't fried too- the Chicken and String Beans and the Chicken and Scallions and Onion are both flavorful options with lots of sauce and plenty of veggies/alliums. The General Tso's is marked as 'spicy' but I'd say is barely over 'mild'- there are visible chilies in the dish (and broccoli too, score), but it's really just got a slight tingle that I think the heat-averse could tolerate. Note that the only veggies the pork fried rice contains is bean sprouts, so if you're looking to add in some veggies to your meal, stick with the veggie fried rice instead- both versions could use more flavor IMO, but adding the duck sauce does help. And I'd love to see the boneless spare ribs being a bit more charred and a bit less fatty/gristly, but they'll do the trick in a pinch. This place won't blow you away like, say, GDH or Blossom Bar- but it's solid for what it is, and meets my expectations for what I'm looking for in take out faux/Americanized Chinese cuisine. read more

3.5 stars* My bf and I have ordered from here time to time when we are too lazy to cook. The food here is decent though some items that you would typically order at a Chinese restaurant come out different. Twice I ordered beef chow mein and it isn't a real noodle dish. It ends up being stir fried veggies and rice and the crispy wontons on side. Weird. My bf gets the orange chicken and fried rice a lot. He likes that. It tastes good. The fried rice is bland so it needs soy sauce or whatever protein/sauce to make it better. The wonton soup is good but the wonton is very doughy. Not your typically wonton wraps. Delivery is usually within 30-40 minutes. Good place if you are hungry but it isn't the most authentic. read more

I placed an order for takeout, and when I picked it up I couldn't wait to get it home, it smelled so good! It was definitely worth the car ride home. I got the general tso's chicken with crab ragoons as a side. Everything was really good. The chicken wasn't over cooked which I've experienced at some other Chinese places in Boston. The ragoons were delicious. I will most certainly come back for another to go order. read more

Hong Kong 888 Cafe - General Tso's chicken w/ rice & crab ragoons - Chinese Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

I've been looking for a good Chinese take-out place but was having difficulty finding "the one". There are many other mediocre options that either had overly greasy food, horrible parking or simply inconsistent food. But now there is HOPE! I found this wonderful little place which I drive by very often and always wondered if it was worth a try. One day I was around the area and had to order something quick to eat for myself and my family so I said "what the heck" let me give it a try and damn was it good! The vegetable rice is delicious, not too greasy or salty, you can it eat it all by itself! The boneless ribs are cooked well just like I like it (unlike other places I've tried that have hard and chewy boneless ribs) and the crab ragoon are one of the best, my whole family was raving about how delicious everything was. In addition, staff is very friendly! So, with that said this is "the one" for me :) read more

GO at your own RISK!!! Dramatically Higher prices, have increased 3 x and counting just in the last year!!!!!! Beyond that $11 lunch special with tax is outrageous, I had an awful experience in July ordered food on a hot summer day. Beef chow foon came stale, not fresh, it was odd awkward taste. I called grub hub they immediately refunded me and I stopped ordering for 5 weeks. FULL refund granted, so if you ever have issues don't think twice, grub hub protects from these awful experiences Today on a rainy day sept 1st they abruptly and randomly cancelled my delivery order. Yikes now that is a red flag. I'll much rather go to opt in to west garden, $8.50 gourmet quality lunch at a fraction of the cost. I would not order during summer time, it's risky, and the food sits longer in the heat. Does not circulate as quickly. But I am beyond disgusted with their worthless service. It's gone down hill and there are much better places... trust me. Dinner combo $17 with tax is a complete rip off, despite the portion quality. Restaurant in Newton and wellesley do not charge as high as roslindale... absolute rip off and disgrace. Avoid at all costs!!! read more

Food is great! Fast and good service. Easy to pick up. Nice and clean place. General Tso 's Chicken is good! And also their appetizers.

Over all good Chinese food in my top 5 close on Monday and that sucks. Very fast delivery and cook time.

For some reason, in my opinion, you just wouldn't expect this place to put out the consistent, delicious, crispy, saucy food they do by looking at the place. It's literally kind of a whole on the wall on a somewhat dirty corner in Roslindale. Don't just a book by its cover. As other people have mentioned, their Rangoons are on point. Their general gaos is always consistently delicious, red, moist, spicy, crispy goodness that makes me feel wicked unhealthy ten minutes later but it's soooo worth it. The chicken wings might need a little work. Pork fried rice is good. Lobster sauce here I feel is the only thing that isn't consistent but definitely not a star worth less of a rating. Sometimes is too corn starchy if you know what I mean, sometimes it's too salty, or it's just not flavorful at all. Weird. Long story short. Order from here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was BLAND, zero flavor. Spicy eggplant with no spice, Chicken fried rice, dry AF.

I just moved here and this is one of my favorite Chinese places I've had so far!! The lo mein was very tasty -- sometimes it can seem bland and mushy from takeout places and this was DEFINITELY not that. I wasn't sure about the regular or large size, I went with the large and it was enough for a generally large sized meal. Reasonably priced and fast delivery too via Uber eats. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Speedy delivery and...**online ordering**, say whaaaat?! I ordered through Yelp. Food was yummy. I was worried that it might not be worth it based on other reviews, but it was good! Orange chicken came with pieces of the almost-candied-yet-savory rind in the dish--yum! The orange chicken also came w/ extra sauce on the side! Nice touch. The boneless spare ribs were made perfectly such that you continue to go back for more (i.e. not too salty or over marinated). The white rice was perfectly moist and fluffy. Oh, and what a great value due to the large portions! They really filled my containers to the brim--and then some! If you live in the area and have qualms about ordering here, just do it! I placed my order at 9:45 pm and was worried that I might get the stragglers, scraps, and bottom-of-the-pan. But SO NOT THE CASE! I am very pleased with my meal and will def go back for more! read more

The Chinese food in this area is subpar. This place however is phenomenal. Top notch. I've gone here like a million times and every time they deliver. Personally recommend the spicy orange chicken and their combo specials. The staff are also all super sweet. I had eaten here many times before at my friends house. But the first time I ate here on my own. I couldn't find them. So I called them and the guy who runs it I think literally drove to where I was (the west Roxbury rotary) and lead me to the restaurant via car. I've been their #1 fan ever since. read more
