We always get the General Sao chicken and it's pretty good. The portions are good and it's very favorable, a tad spicy. This dish comes with broccoli which is usually hard so you have to ask if you want your broccoli steamed to softness. Service is good. Best to have a reservation on the weekends. Drinks are overpriced and watered down. The restaurant is very nice but it's inside of a casino so, eh. I would go back.

This place has amazing food. I was there for Chinese New year with friends. The food was AMAZING. Very authentic. Great service. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Outside they also had had a tea spot and the milk tea was great as well.
Parking: Great location and easy to get to.

We visited here because it had good reviews, but we felt super disappointed. First, the waiter told us that they were very busy that day so the dishes would not be served in standard sequence but whichever was done first. Thus, we got cold Peking Duck as our first course and its skin wasn't crispy at all. For us, this was definitely not authentic Peking Duck. Then came one of our appetizers Shrimp Toast which was only three bite pieces and very greasy. The other dishes were nothing impressive but not bad. However, there were never a waiter refilling our tea pot or asking us whether everything was okay during our meal. When I looked for our waiter, he came over and told us it's his dinner time and another staff would come to help us. Of course, the person never showed up. Only when we asked for check the lady who brought us the bill realized that all our cups and tea pot were empty, and asked us whether we needed more hot tea. This was definitely worst dinning experience we had in these years!!

Compared to the prices the food itself was okay. We got crab rangoon, veg chow main, and ma po tofu. Crab rangoon was like every other crab rangoon but the cream cheese was slightly too melted. The chow main was great and was my favorite. And the ma po tofu was average. Expected a little more because of the rating. Was definitely a fun experience being in a casino and eating with a view.

This is the BEST Cantonese restaurant outside of Boston! They are a meticulous restaurant with a great emphasis on providing the best attention to detail in their ambiance, plating, and service.
I highly recommend their Peking Duck, sweet and sour pork, and those fat and juicy clams in black bean sauce!
Definitely a must try!
Given that the restaurant is inside Encore Boston Harbor casino, diners under 21 years old go through a different door. Talk to the hostess and they will open the door for them from the hallway.

Sabrina, kathy and Victor were amazing welcoming and attentive to detail. I highly recommend Red 8. Their Customer service is amazing. The ambiance is always inviting and comfortable. Their staff is not only friendly but also highly skilled. Thank you!!!
Only reason they get more than one star is the Mongolian beef wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. It was spicier then most make it, but it needed to the umami flavor up a bunch. I also have to ding them major points because they don't have egg drop soup. I mean, what Chinese place doesn't have egg drop soup? Also, they lose major points for not having Pepsi, Dr Pepper, or sweet tea. Come on! Not everyone drinks unhealthy alcohol!

We had an 8:30pm dinner reservation and it felt like they were rushing to close up or something. We got the hot and sour soup at the same time as the cocktails, and then literally four minutes later our entrees came. Was surprised they didn’t have lo mein, but the chow mein was pretty good. Orange chicken was really flavorful although a bit heavily breaded. Mongolian beef was average. Expected more from the restaurant overall and hated the feeling of being rushed.
Kid-friendliness: No kids options- you’re places in a completely separate dining room if you have kids (have to enter from the back) or are dressed too casually (it appeared).
This was beyond excellent!!! So delicious in every way. Drinks too !!
