As a regular customer at the Eighty Eight for many years, we were very sad to learn that the owner had recently put the business up for sale. Thankfully, the new owner has kept its familiar charm and is serving wonderful food in the heart of Ansdell.
We visited tonight for the first time since the new ownership, as a party of six, and had a wonderful meal. The staff are so lovely and helpful, and were very accommodating of our larger group.
We have always loved the food from the Eighty Eight, and tonight, we could not help but notice the great quality and flavours of each individual dish.
The previous owners successfully ran the Eighty Eight for many years, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it will go under the new ownership, as well as our next visit!
Be sure not to miss this great restaurant in Ansdell. It is definitely worth a re-visit if you are local...

Also a house special pepper and black bean sauce I believe this was ok. A real miss tonight by 88 Chinese restaurant I don't know what went wrong but I have requested a refund as if the food had been served in the restaurant I would...

Will be back soon. [Verse 1] Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight
[Chorus] Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
[Verse 2] A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon, Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot He got into a drifted bank And then...
