    Egg drop soup and crab puffs
    Reema R.

    I've been coming here since I was 6 years old. The food is amazing, definitely the best Chinese food in all of Houston. The service is great and the staff are super nice and friendly. The restaurant itself has a nice quiet vibe and is really pretty. I always recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. I come here almost weekly.

    General chicken

    I came here because an older middle eastern man at a mall kiosk told me they had the best Asian food... so of course I listened to a complete stranger and gave it a shot. Aaaand it was fire !!!! The general chicken was amazing! The chicken wings (garlic) were absolutely delicious. The Vietnamese eggrolls hot and crispy. I had both beef and shrimp lo mein and again very good noodles very good flavor on both. If you like Mai's in downtown this definitely compares to that, maybe even better. My husband jokingly asked for a lot of fortune cookies with our tab and the older lady served us a full bag to go. Service was good food was even better!

    Garlic honey wings

    Went to King Food today and got garlic honey wings! They were delicious! The wings were crispy. I would have liked a little bit more garlic but they were still very good.

    Hot and Sour Soup

    I'd like to play a game called Age Yourself Without Using Numbers. King Food Chinese Restaurant has been around since at least when cassettes and big hair were all the rage. Personally, I can recall how some visits to JSC with out-of-town friends or family eons ago included lunch here. And when I had an apartment right on Bay Area as a young adult pursing a journalism undergrad, I used to treat UH-Clear Lake classmates here. A mishap with trying to buy tickets to a local culinary event this evening led me back to this longstanding eatery. Since it was me, the owner and a female relative of hers, and this couple, the restaurant was quiet save for Boyce Avenue being streamed over a flat screen near the front entrance. Finding a seat and being quickly tended to were a cinch. "Yeah, yeah, yeah! What did you have, John?" So before coming here, I took a quick look at the menu online and the combination platter caught my attention. I worked on the spicy tangy chicken combo platter, which resembled either Mongolian or kung pao chicken. The menu was an easy A from how it was put together to how it tasted. If only the entrée-to-rice ratio was even. The chicken was fresh and tasty, but there was more of it than the rice. Still, I recommend this item to any first-timers. Ooh, almost forgot. The combination platters come with fried rice, an egg roll, and your pick between hot and sour, wonton, and egg drop soups. I went with what I call my ol' reliable of Chinese restaurant soups, hot and sour. It was nice of the purported owner of the eatery to give me the bowl with a whole Sriracha bottle. I really enjoyed the soup, which was called for given the cold weather. Their beef spring rolls are an ideal meal starter as well. Since the restaurant is just down the road from NASA, it has seen its share of astronauts come through pre or post-launch. In fact, I remember when they had autographed pictures of some on display at the service counter. Only time will tell if King Food will another numerous amount of years. Obviously, it fared well at the peak of COVID-19 so I don't doubt it a bit. Dinner was winding down when this family of give or take five or six came in. They sat a few tables away from me. I heard the parents ask one of the boys of their thoughts on their meal. The kid supposedly said something to the effect of five stars. To paraphrase the mom, "You should put that on Yelp." I couldn't help but crack a smile. I'm way ahead of him, ma'am.

    Yum

    Fantastic food with fantastic portion sizes. The garlic chicken wings were some of the best wings I've ever had.

    Spicy? shredded pork

    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.

    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).
