This place is absolutely AWFUL. Avoid this restaurant. Not because the food is bad. The food isn't bad.
They're just not consistently open for business. That's the problem. I think this restaurant is more of a hobby for the owner and his wife. It's not uncommon to try to grab food from here and walk up to a sign on the door.
They close for weeks at a time. Several times per year.
The absolute worst part of my experience with this restaurant and I've tried 4 times in total (not including today.....) is that they will NOT prepare your order for pick up. I've tried. Take it from me, they will NOT prepare your food, or even begin to prepare your food if you attempt to call ahead for pick up. To have your food be ready at a certain time, by calling ahead.
3 out of my 4 times purchasing food from this restaurant, were attempts to call ahead. I work 2 jobs. Raise kids. We're all BUSY these days.
They will not begin to prepare your order until you show up at the restaurant.
That's the real problem. All in all, I just don't understand what the owners of this place are doing. Horrible experience every single time.
But if you want to put up with this, the food is ok.

The system is funny, but not funny.Your food does not “start” getting made until you show up and she sees your face!China 88 takes 88 minutes to actually get your food… 88 minutes. Food is fine.
Parking: Be prepared to park and wait….

Service was horrible waited over an hour and a half.. paid 63 dollars for 3 meals just to get home to find they forgot 2 of the rices ( one was fried rice which they up charge for) the other was white, I called the store and the lady was literally arguing with me that they did not forget it- she said we have camera we check we not forget.. I simply wanted my card refunded for the forgot items she said I can only do cash I don’t know how to put back on card.. I was not driving back from Hagerstown. Very rude will not be spending another dime. Garlic chicken tasted like it was cooked with dirty tap water, chicken in general was very tough and chewy.
NOT GOOD!

Took an hour to get my dinner after ordering online and 45 minutes after I arrived at the restaurant. It was good, but come on, an hour?
