We've just had the best Chinese takeaway we've had in ages. Eighty eight is so good! Kong Po chicken and Fried chicken with honey and orange sauce - just delicious. Neil ??

The young waitress girl was to busy flirting with a boy on a different table to pay attention to our order. We had to wait for everything and then when food came out the it was inedible. Was swimming in grease and cold. Service was shocking obviously because I wasn?t a teen age boy. I have never been to such a rude establishment.

Set between St.Annes and Lytham. Parking is easy enough in an evening. Went on a Saturday night and were amazed to see there was only 2 other tables taken and this seriously impacted ambience The menu is typical chinese standard fayre and prices are very good. Waiting staff ~ Gentleman who was acting head waiter was great. He was literally running up and down, jumping and spinning. The staff were not wearing uniforms and were in sweaters and trainers which we considered very lack lustre given folk usually make an effort to dress up when they go out and expect same from waiting staff. Service ~ The service was absolutely pants. We asked for prawn crackers and waited 40 minutes for them to arrive with starters served at 50 mins. Our mains were served after 90 minutes. In our opinion, this is far too slow. All in all we were there for 2.5 hours!! We concluded that take aways were getting priority. Food ~ Delicious, hot and portions were large. During our 2.5 hours there, only 3 other tables came in for sit downs. Sorry to say that if the service is this slow, there is no wonder! In addition, we noticed that there was a constant stream of complaints coming in on the phone about take away food and items missing. Of the tables which were in, we overheard 2 of them complaining. On basis of slow slow service, I am afraid we won't be returning and there is no wonder the place was so empty. Toilet was out of order so everyone had to share

Poor service and mediocre food. Ribs from the chewiest piglet around. main course for all of us was disappointing in quality, taste and portion size. Garlic rice was claggy like it had been finished off in a microwave.

Came here a handful of times 25+ years ago so thought it was about time to try it again after some recent recommendations. Really friendly service by the two young ladies front of house, delicious food, superb wine and great value. We?ll be back soon.

Walked past 88 many times while walking the dogs and always wanted to try it as it?s only a 10 minute walk from the house in St Anne?s. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We went for the set menu as it was a Tuesday evening. Starter was amazing. Piping hot and freshly cooked and plenty of it. Soup was also really good. The mains were huge and very tasty. So much food. Icing on the cake is the owner is from Malaysia so she and Toby had conversation. Highly recommend.

The smell of stale frying put me off as I walked in the door. The crispy duck was tasty and portion size was good but I found the beef with onions and ginger very bland.

I think some people complain just to complain. Lovely people, lovely food!! My husband and I have been coming here for years and have never had a problem.

Came here for a birthday meal with my sister. On entry we felt a bit awkward and not very welcomed eventually we did get good service. Started were lovely really good but the curry was not very nice, too greasy/oily and creamy for me. Not everyone picking up food for takeaway was wearing a mask which I found a little off putting. We didn?t like the fact that the background music was all pop/dance music, it felt a more ?pub? environment. Atmosphere was not right for a Chinese restaurant. We will go again but will have a different main.

Not covid ready. Clearly no staff hand washing or sanitising as the dirty plates were being cleared and they were straight back out to the restaurant area no gap long enough for a 20 second hand wash as is required under the new guidelines. 6:30 we arrived 7:45 we got our starters which I have to say were nice but other than that the rest of the food when it arrived was mediocre at best. Awful staff not only did she have a very abrupt attitude but she was quite happy to lean over us when putting the food down she also ended up with her sleeve in my lemon chicken whilst stretching over with another meal. We were sat in a pinch point where staff kept walking through with customers take alway orders and handing it to them when the guidelines state that they should be put down and the customer should then pick them up and then the area sanitised. I know these are strange times but guidelines are there for a reason. If it was not a special occasion for one of our party and they had arranged this we would have left. It was our first outing of this sort since the whole pandemic started and I can assure you this will be our last as all this has proved is that quite clearly some people think rules don?t apply to them and or that they are special in some way that they will not catch anything. Even the takeaway customers were allowed to just sit and wait without masks on.
