888 Restaurant

Ordered from here tonight and within 15 minutes of eating the food, my family and I began to feel sick. We suffered from nausea, stomach pains and queasiness...... We threw what was left in the trash. This was our first and last time eating here... wasted $60 🤦🏾‍♀️

Food is good but they are NOT all that cheap. Not a money saving take away option.

My boyfriend and I got takeout from here last night (house special chow mein and chicken and broccoli.) Gave us both food poisoning and when I called to ask for a refund, they refused saying “if it didn’t taste bad there was nothing wrong with it.” Definitely will not be eating here again.

Awesome food! Great, timely service. Best Chinese take-out in Ames, no doubt.

I really like the food. My opinion 888 is in my top 3 Chinese restaurants here in ames

Awe-inspiringly authentic! I ordered the mooshu beef and I, being as white as I am, was completely oblivious to the contents of the dish beyond the beef itself. Fortunately, the food was so good that I really couldn't care less about what was in it. Don't ask questions. Just eat the food.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the staff are extremely nice and very fun people. I folded an origami crane out of one of their paper menus, and the cashier kept it! Very good people with wonderful senses of humor.

Food was awful! Worst I can remember. Cold, and tasted sour. Pork Lo Mein and all the rest had to be thrown away. Rice was hard and dry. Received half our order. The Wontons were burned and tasted like old oil. Very little filling in them as well.

Absolutely delicious I had never tried this place before and I was very surprised. It's very small. However delicious Kong pow chicken. Shrimp chowmein wonton soup. Everything was very fresh... I'll be back!!

Best Chinese restaurant in Ames!!!!! Their crab rangoons are perfect and I love the shape of them. Easier to eat and don't have to tear apart. Also really enjoy their sesame chicken!

Attempting to order from this place takes 30 minutes if you don't have an account. Maybe I'm an idiot and that's fine, I feel like I'm relatively intelligent. Can you PLEASE make it easier for a "guest" to order delivery?
Thanks!

We've never ordered for delivery, we always eat in although the seating area is very small. I don't think it's common for people to eat in. However, I suggest you do because we've never not had fresh food when eating in. I feel like a majority of the negative reviews are about the quality of the food when calling for delivery.

The orange chicken is super crispy and flavorful and the noodles are steaming hot, always.

It's a little pricey for Americanized Chinese but still something I prefer over a chain restaurant like Panda Express that's equally as expensive

Pissed poor food and terrible owner/manager. Chance of good food is about 10% and now they decide not to deliver to our neighborhood what a pissy way of business. Please pass this on. We have ordered from them for over 3 yrs and very seldom get good quality food. PANDA EXPRESS MUCH BETTER AND CHEAPER. GO THERE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AT ALL

(Food poisoning)!! I ordered from here couple of times even though the food isnt the best because its the only chinese food place that delivers. Yesterday i ate their dumplings (big flour shell and little filling, most likely cheap store) and moo shu (little meat, mostly cabbage) and got really bad food poisoning. I had to go to the ER cause it was so bad. Thank God i didnt finish them. Never ordering from this place again.

No people in the restaurant but I waited 20 mins for a simple fried rice! They are busy for delivery but cannot see a person sitting there!!!
Foods are ok.

I have no idea how anyone can call this food "Authentic Chinese". I ordered the lemon chicken, and after waiting longer than was reasonable, I got something that was closer to fish n' chips style chicken on a bed of lettuce that was covered in grease from the batter. Then there was the lemon sauce...I don't know if they bothered heating it up at all, but it was literally a vat of congealed goo. I tried dipping a piece of chicken in it and it wouldn't even stick to it, it just kind of squished around it and slid right back into the container.

I didn't expect the
