Reviews for 888 in Ames, IA
Some of the best Chinese in Ames for sure! Great little hidden gem of Ames. I?ve ordered take out multiple times and never... been disappointed. Read more
Absolutely love their crab rangoons. They give you a healthy amount for what you pay unlike most other places who overcharge and... give you a few and expect that to suffice somehow... I have ordered half a dozen times from here on the past couple of weeks.Need to stop myself hahaha! Today I tried the Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was decent but lacking any real flavor and thebottom of the container was soggy...meh. I also tried the donuts...they were not good at all. Sad :/ The rice and rangoonswill keep me returning now and again as there is no comparison or competition around! Read more
Unbelievable that I would fill out my order online and process my credit card to find out when I arrive that I still need to pay... with my credit card or cash. Why have me go through the entire exercise to fill out a credit card form? The food here is okayand not worth the extra hassle. Might as well eat at Hy-Vee Read more
No complaints here! I've heard people say the staff is rude but I've never had a problem. I've had a few conversations with... staff there and they've always been polite and informative. Want to get on the good side of the staff, ask about the art work onthe south wall. Read more
If you like 3 bites of beef and 1 pound of onion get the Mongolian beef...this places sucks evey single time. If I could I... would give zero stars. Read more
We will never ever order from 888 again. $54 wasted. I had chicken lo mein. It was 95% noodles and 5% chicken. Someone else... ordered Mongolian Beef and I swear there was 2 whole onions in that dish and barely any beef. Dinner does not come with thetypical sides either. No egg rolls. No crab rangoon. Not even fortune cookies. 888 doesn't skimp on the noodles or the veggies,but if you want meat with your dish, you're gonna be sadly disappointed. Read more
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'task questions. Just eat the food. Additionally, it's worth noting that the staff are extremely nice and very fun people. Ifolded an origami crane out of one of their paper menus, and the cashier kept it! Very good people with wonderful senses ofhumor. Read more
The food was fresh. The workers were all friendly. The price was not bad at all. Unfortunately, neither my girlfriend or myself... cared for our meals. The Shrimp and Broccoli was kind of bland. The lo mein was average. There are better options in town. I'lllikely give it another chance to try a seafood boil sometime, but I'd pass on the Chinese food. Read more
