They first brought a good sized portion of pickled cabbage which was delightful... ate every bite. I was with my wife and after much debate we ordered the General Tso's chicken, and a plate of the combo fried rice. Both came out quickly, and steaming which is a huge plus in my book. The General Tso was a dark brown sauce which was new for me, but it was fantastic! Not too spicy, a ton of chicken and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, still crunchy as we the green peppers. The combo fried rice, beef, pork, chicken and shrimp was hot, fresh and delicious We'll continue to work our way through the menu...

There were dishes I did enjoy but I just can't see myself coming back. It wouldn't be worth the drive for me. However, I am giving it 4 stars because the service and the staff were just so nice and attentive. I am not used to that from a buffet service but the ladies were honestly friendly and made the experience very welcoming. I truly wish the food options were better so that I'd want to come back but I just wouldn't. It's not bad or anything, it's just not worth the drive in my opinion. The ambiance was that of any other buffet place I've visited but the staff was just what made it good. They have coke products lol which is important to me because I'm not a fan of Pepsi. Not sure who needed to know that but I'm putting it on here just in case lol.

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).

However, they're not looking for repeat business with their policies. Ordered orange chicken and asked for lo mien rather than rice. $5 up charge. Everything was an up charge. I got up charged enough that my takeout for one was $25. For the one entree. I dealt with the owner or someone who seemed in charge. I'm not asking for any restaurant to give away food. But this is a Chinese to go place in a shopping center. It is not fancy or very tidy. If an order of orange chicken ends up at $25 I won't be back. Photo attached of exactly the food I got home with. For $25. This meal in NYC would cost $9 tops.

I really enjoy their hot and sour soup and beef lo mein, and I tried the chicken pad thai for the first time today and it was delicious. The pan fried dumplings were so good. They were lightly crisped, not greasy, and had a fresh homemade taste and texture. I also love their cheese puffs. My husband always gets the egg drop soup and swears their hot mustard is the best. It clears his sinuses and has him nearly in tears every time, and I love watching his face turn bright red. Portion sizes are generous and the prices are great. The service is always super friendly and welcoming. Everything we have had has tasted fresh and made from scratch. The mix of price, quality, and portion is hard to beat, especially with everyone watching their budgets. It has become one of our go to spots.

Things got worse when we noticed a dead roach on the floor near our table. We brought it to the manager's attention, and her response was simply to ask if we wanted to move to another table. We had already been seated and had our food, so moving tables at that point was not really the solution we were looking for. We asked if she could please pick it up. Her attitude throughout the situation made an already unpleasant experience even worse. Seeing a roach on the floor is concerning enough, but what bothered me most was the lack of urgency and professionalism in how the situation was handled. We should not have had to ask for something like that to simply be cleaned up. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses both the cleanliness issue and the way customers are treated. My family came in expecting to enjoy a meal, and unfortunately, we left very disappointed.
