My friends and I have been to PL8 in the past and absolutely loved it. Now the new owner has added a lot of traditional Chinese dishes which makes the food even better. The new chef’s special cumin lamb is the best in town. Bo bo beef, spicy fish fillet/beef, basil shrimp/Chicken, and live whole fish are delicious. Recently we tried their sushi dishes, all the raw seafood is very fresh. ?

Fabulous food and service! Our server (sorry I forgot her name) was so attentive and kind! She turned down the music a bit and was extremely helpful and patient with our food choices.

We had a terrific time at PL8 on Saturday evening partly due to our waitress. She was outstanding...very attentive and charming. The food was great too. We definitely will be back. Kudos to all for making our dinner delightful with good memories. That's hard to find these days.

Carry out - service was fast, the food for 6 people was ok - not great, not memorable and certainly not as good as it used to be. Spent about $30/person.

This place really needs an actual bartender. And greeters who spend less time chatting with each other and more time making sure guests have what they need for an enjoyable meal...starting with menus. The food was delicious but the service was so sub-par that, sadly, I doubt we'll be back.

Tremendously understaffed at the bar, with servers and in the kitchen. While our server was polite and attentive, he was seriously overworked, covering nearly every table in the restaurant. The regular bartender was not there and maybe it was the owner behind the bar, but she couldn't make a Cosmopolitan Martini to save her life. Sent it back three times- first was straight vodka, the second time it came out yellow before we mentioned it was supposed to be pink. The third drink came out resembling a cosmo, but didn't taste anything like it. Food was good- Crab Rangoon sticks, crunchy roll, and 7 seasons chicken. Unfortunately, we will not be returning due to the lack of staff. While this is a problem industry wide, steps could have been taken... such as limiting to go orders (of which there were plenty and the kitchen seemed to be focused on) and staggering the times diners were seated.

Had a nice birthday lunch with honey walnut shrimp, bo bo beef, and sushi rolls. Grace was an excellent server.
It was a very enjoyable dinner for New Years Eve, the staff was attentive and the good was delicious. Just wish I could master chop sticks better - I dropped a pot sticker on the floor :)

We have been to PL8 in the past and absolutely loved it. We did not know that there are new owners and a new menu and food. While now it is fine and I would say typical Chinese food, the old PL8 was much more special and offered a different take on Asian food. We loved the taste and selection of the old PL8 and were disappointed by the changes. If you want the usual Chinese food, then it is fine but know that it has changed from the past.

Overall just a really good spot. Great food and an even better atmosphere. The service was prompt and it was just a great experience overall :)

My boyfriend and I went here to eat for our anniversary and absolutely loved it!!! The staff was so kind and gave us really good recommendations, but what really earned the 5 star review was the drinks!! The bartender, Brandon, made the drinks beautifully and super tasty! Would definitely recommend and will be returning!
