Helpful and food was ok. Standard Chinese food, nice prices. Right by Red roof inn if you need quick food.
I'm a frequent customer. I love their chicken lo mein and pepper steak and onions! Customer service is excellent and the space is small given that they're doing take outs only.
Ordered take out. The beef with black bean sauce was pretty good. The rice was moist and sticky just how I like it. The chicken Mei fun was pretty tasty was well. I love that they have small portions. It's the perfect size when you're not too hungry.
I live six blocks from China 88, so it's become one of four main food groups we consume, the others being pizza, beer, and beer. If I were not in Williamsport but rather, say, Washington DC, it probably wouldn't get three stars at most. But it's great when I get a hankering for Chinese living 70 miles from any major urban center. Excellent wonton soup! It's normal Chinese-American, so don't expect any truly Chinese dishes. But for Hagerstown? It works for me.
Let me start with some of my qualifications - I was born and raised in China til I moved to the US at the age of 11. Throughout high school and college I worked for the local Chinese Restaurant, 6 years all told. So I know a little bit about American Chinese Food. For lunch I had the General Tso's Chicken lunch combo with pork fried rice and a pork egg roll. Let me break it down for you one by one. 1. General Tso's Chicken - the chicken they used was dark meat which is fine since it was lunch and only $5.99. The batter was light but very crispy, the sauce didn't make it soggy. That's a really hard to do and a 10/10. The sauce was almost there. The sauce is what makes this dish so unique traditionally, and it's supposed to show so many flavor profiles (that was missed by most restaurants), the sauce is supposed to be sweet, spicy, a little sour, and lastly you should taste a little salt as a contrast. Their sauce is short on the last two, it's mostly sweet and spicy and no hints of sour and saltiness. But I'm not mad, I was describing a 5 star General Tso's Chicken. This one I would give it a 4/5. 2. Pork fried rice - Ok. You've realized by now I think a lot with my taste palate, along with lineage of tasting great Chinese food, I've probably a Chines Food snob. With all that said, things like fried rice and egg rolls are so often overlooked by restaurants evens themselves, but the best places do the little things that make their stuff just a little bit more tastier. The best places use the BBQ spare ribs they sell on the menu (with that awesome sweet BBQ sauce) in their pork fried rice, the meat is almost sweet and crystallized with you fry it in the wok. They did use the BBQ pork but the sauce on it was lacking flavor . The rice had that good wok fired flavor and the veggies were decent (adding green onions would have nice too). Overall, decent for lunch. 4/5. 3. Pork egg roll - Same as the fried rice, the pork left me hoping for more. The dough on the outside was very well done, crispy but not heavy and greasy. But overall, it could have a little more flavor. 4/5. So, everything considered, not bad! 4/5. For a big lunch portion that leave you leftover for under $6. That's not bad for lunch!
