    Tangy Spicy Beef lunch portion
    David N.

    This is a small little restaurant in the shopping strip with Food Town right off Highway 3. There are a few tables to sit inside, and the service is fast and friendly. They have a lunch menu which has several options, including beef, or pork or chicken dishes. I have been here several occasions, and all of the food tasted fresh and good. Most recently I got the tangy spicy beef and it came out hot and fresh. The service was good and the wait time was very reasonable. I had a good experience and will return. They have parking in front of the restaurant, but also shared with the other stores in the shopping strip.

    The food looks incredible! I can't wait to dig in, I bought it for lunch for my crew. Their service is top quality. Really fortunate to come across this place! Recommend!

    I came here once a long time ago. The fact that I didn't come back must mean something. I came with a friend today. We were the only customers in this quite small place. But, they had a couple of take-out orders. I had General Tso's Chicken. The sauce was good but I expect deep fried batter on the chicken pieces and it wasn't Tso. I guess it was okay considering. My friend had sauteed green beans. He didn't seem to enjoy them. He ate lots of my chicken and left most of his plate. Also, he didn't take a box. For him that's not a positive sign. A man came out of the kitchen area and sat down near us. He and the waiter talked in Chinese throughout our meal. It my opinion people in a business should not carry on conversations in a language customers cannot understand. Exchanging instructions or simple information isn't a problem, but conversing within earshot isn't a good practice. The customers don't know if they are talking about them and laughing. I didn't have that suspicion but in general it's not a good practice. I'm not docking them a star for this but they should reconsider the practice. __ I've eaten out every meal for more than 25 years.

    Food was hot and fresh. Portions are generous and they are really fast when you order to go in the store.

    The cheese puffs, house fried rice, and egg rolls are great! The staff was friendly and had the food out quick.

    Some of the blandest food i've ever tasted. Also very poor quality. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

    I've been coming here with family for years and even remember when this location first opened (see…read moreoriginal review from 2009). 888 Bistro has had its fair share of ups and downs and ownership changes over the years, but this was our first time back in about 2 years, so I was curious to see if anything's changed since our previous experience was not so great. We came on a Thursday night and there were only a few other cars in the parking lot. Dumpling World across the street had a fuller lot, so we were about to reconsider our choice, but decided to follow through with our original choice. Upon walking in around 7pm, there were a few other tables dining in. In case you didn't know, there are two menus here: an Americanized menu and a Chinese menu. Be sure to ask for both so that you get all the choices to select from! We ordered, the Honey Black Pepper Steak, Triple Delight Pan Fried Asian Noodles, Pork and Bamboo Shoots, and Sizzling Black Pepper Beef. The former two are on the Americanized menu and the latter two are on the Chinese menu. The Honey Black Pepper Steak has been my favorite dish here - it's deep fried pieces of beef coated in a black pepper sauce with a touch of sweetness...so good! The Pan Fried Noodles were crispy, but meat/vegetable to noodle ratio was a little off, as they could've put a good amount more of beef/chicken/shrimp on there. The Pork and Bamboo Shots and Sizzling Beef were both very tasty and hadn't changed from how I remember them. Our server was someone we recognized as having worked here for years. Unfortunately I cannot remember her name, but she's an expert here and knows the menu by heart. She constantly came around to check on us, and we were warmly taken care of. One thing I noticed was how adamant the staff was about watching your step as you get into and out of the booths. There are even signs on the tables and out the exit doors warning you to watch your step. Something must have happened here recently that caused them to take extra precautions (and make it known). This is a good local spot in Clear Lake that my family and I will continue to hit up for an easy dinner since there are not many Asian options in the area. The locations in Pearland and near Gulfgate are also worth trying (just know that some menu items may differ).

    Our go to Chinese food in the area. It just does the job every time. Always ready in 15-20 minutes…read more Nothing is bad here.
