Unlike new Chinese restaurant, this restaurant has everything from 70s and 80s Chinese restaurant. You can meet all kinds of 3rd, 4th -- generation ABC (American Born Chinese) Total fun!!!

Such a great mom and pop spot! We got the beef chow mein, and the sweet-and-sour chicken, and they were both the best versions of those I’ve ever had in my life! Highly recommend!!

Purchased rice bowl with roasted duck. Amazing. The rice is plentiful and can feed three individuals. Pair this bowl with another meat entry to enjoy with family or friends.

What a jewel! Very tasty! Easy parking for this small restaurant. Wonderful mom and pop style service. We had the classic tomato beef chow mein and mu shu pork. Lots of leftovers to take home. Can’t find tomato beef in Seattle for some reason. An SF thing?

Delicious food prepared quickly and hot for pickup. The combination lo mein is loaded with seafood. Very reasonable prices.

Haven't been to this restaurant in ages. Came here the other night because our usual place was closed for vacay. Anyhow, we ordered 4 dishes and all were ok. But I do think the worst of the four was the seafood tofu claypot. Flavor was good but there weren't much seafood. This dish was a waste of money. The best was probably the walnut prawns as prawns were a good size and flavor was on par. Is this place a repeater for us? Maybe in the far future.

I used to come here in high school for lunch many moons ago and their food is excellent. Great dishes at very reasonable prices and the staff is friendly too. I'm glad to see that they're still around because they deserve it!

When my doctor friend came into town and asked to get Chinese food, The Eight Immortals came immediately to mind. He and I have been best friends since Junior High School, and he just can't stop talking about our time in the 8 immortals. I would put this restaurant at the level of The Pink Pearl in Toronto, Canada, where I went every Saturday with Master Moy Lin Shin (Taoist priest from Hong Kong's Fung Loy Kok temple). - the whole class came because we were hungry after 6 hours of doing the form, push hands, etc .and we wanted that feel of higher consciousness flowing through our bodies and minds. Then, it was back to play with swards and sabers, energized as we were from the sharing of great food and friendship. Wo Hops in NYC's China Town has similarly great food, but not the spirit.

Eight Immortals is located on busy Taraval near Lincoln High School. Lots of road construction going on so be ready for bumpy roads and limited parking. Also multiple restaurants have outdoor seating parklets that have taken away parking spaces along Taraval. You might have to park on residential side streets. Went for a lunch as my MIL wanted a special won ton soup that only few places make. We also noted that they serve made to order hot dim sum. We'll try dim sum next time. Ordered: - Braised Squab, cheaper than other restaurants and just as tasty, it came out very hot and quartered. - Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup, a soup of eight fried won ton that are soaked in an egg white, veggie soup. Not available in many restaurants as it is labor intensive to make due to the frying of the won ton before letting it get soggy in the soup. - Salted Chicken with Pickled Vegetables, initially ordered Chinese Chicken Salad and the kitchen screwed up the order. This dish was still good. - Dried Fried Beef Chow Fun, not the wet one, a little too much bean sprouts for my taste but acceptable Overall, inexpensive compared to other Cantonese restaurants, good service, but can be tough to find parking.
