GO at your own RISK!!! Dramatically Higher prices, have increased 3 x and counting just in the last year!!!!!! Beyond that $11 lunch special with tax is outrageous, I had an awful experience in July ordered food on a hot summer day. Beef chow foon came stale, not fresh, it was odd awkward taste. I called grub hub they immediately refunded me and I stopped ordering for 5 weeks. FULL refund granted, so if you ever have issues don’t think twice, grub hub protects from these awful experiencesToday on a rainy day sept 1st they abruptly and randomly cancelled my delivery order. Yikes now that is a red flag. I’ll much rather go to opt in to west garden, $8.50 gourmet quality lunch at a fraction of the cost. I would not order during summer time, it’s risky, and the food sits longer in the heat. Does not circulate as quickly. But I am beyond disgusted with their worthless service. It’s gone down hill and there are much better places... trust me. Dinner combo $17 with tax is a complete rip off, despite the portion quality. Restaurant in Newton and wellesley do not charge as high as roslindale... absolute rip off and disgrace. Avoid at all costs!!!

Wanted a quick lunch on my break and grabbed a chicken teriyaki appetizer and a hot and sour soup. Amazing! The chicken teriyaki is exactly what you’d expect and the soup was very flavorful!

I ordered house fried rice and two egg rolls. They gave me a stir fry mixed with a box of flavorless steamed white rice... and two egg rolls dripping with so much oil.... After reading other good reviews, I am extremely disappointed. I tried to add my own soy sauce after using all two packs that were provided with my Large house fried rice order... food sadness...I will not order from them again...

Food was dry but good.

I really like the food here, clean and hygienic, good service, fast and delicious. This is the best Chinese restaurant in the area.

Always great and quick! I usually get the sesame chicken and would highly suggest!

Maybe the only Chinese food in the neighborhood. Good beef rice noodles.

So I am not from the area so I used Yelp to help me find some Chinese food for dinner for myself and three friends. Based on yelp reviews I ordered from Hong Kong 888. unfortunately I was really disappointed with the quality of the food and especially the quantity of the proteins for the main dishes. As you can see by my receipt we tried quite a few different things. When I ordered I specifically asked to make everything EXTRA spicy. Honestly not only was it not extra spicy, it was not spicy at all and most of the dishes were extremely bland. Not much flavor to anything actually. All four of us agreed it was pretty tasteless. Shrimp and black bean sauce, I got six small shrimp in the entire order. The spicy wontons were bland and had this weird taste to them. I actually ended up getting sick later. Same for the shrimp and lobster sauce, very few shrimp! We had to use our own soy sauce and sesame oil to jazz up the dishes. Needless to say I will not be ordering from them again!

This place is great. Food is excellent, clean and well packaged. Price is a bit more than other restaurants. But, you get the service that you deserve. Delivery is fast and online ordering is a breeze. Highly recommend. It's definitely the place to go for our family.

Over all good Chinese food in my top 5 close on Monday and that sucks. Very fast delivery and cook time.

The food is good! I especially love their chicken and broccoli. Fast pickup too.

Absolutely loved this place! Was visiting from out of town and placed my order over the phone. Food was ready for pick up in 15 mins. Everything was packed up superbly. Establishment was clean. All staff had masks on and social distancing was being practiced.The food was delicious!I usually take photos but didn't because we ate everything so quickly. Definite stop the next time we are in town.

I just moved here and this is one of my favorite Chinese places I've had so far!! The lo mein was very tasty -- sometimes it can seem bland and mushy from takeout places and this was DEFINITELY not that. I wasn't sure about the regular or large size, I went with the large and it was enough for a generally large sized meal. Reasonably priced and fast delivery too via Uber eats. I'll definitely be returning!

Covid info first: easy to order on Grubhub and picked it up at a table they had right when you walk in. I would say make sure you leave yourself enough time to find parking if you are in a rush. I grabbed the last spot near by and it was fine for a grab and go. Just something to be mindful of! It’s street parking no meters.Food review:The food here was everything I was hoping it would be. Some Chinese restaurants you have parts of the meal you like but other parts not so much. For instance, issues I normally notice in other restaurants include having the rice being to dry or the meat being too chewy. This was not the case for this restaurant, it was delicious start to finish.The fried rice was not over cooked and had depthless in flavor; the pork lo mein was flavorful; the sesame chicken was tender and not too chewy; the broccoli was seasoned just right; the beef teriyaki also had great texture and not too chewy; and the udon noodles were yummy and were the icing on the cake. I loved every bit of that dinner and I plan on ordering from them again this weekend. 10/10 would recommend!!
