We weren’t sure where to eat in Lincoln City, so turned to online reviews and found 88 Grains. Everyone raved about the wings, so we ordered those even though we heard they take a while to make, but they are worth the wait! We also enjoyed the lettuce wraps, but we wouldn’t skip the deliciously flavorful, super crispy and unique wings.

This has become my favorite Asian restaurant in Lincoln City. I have to admit that I keep ordering the Garlic Noodles with pork, which I have a real fondness for. The service is always good, and the fireplace adds a nice bit of warmth.

I ordered for pick up and my salmon in red curry was ready in 20 minutes and delicious. The portion was substantial enough that I've got leftovers for tomorrow. Yea!

Amazing food, honey wings are outstanding as are the garlic noodles and fried rice. Ann was a great host/owner, don't miss it if you are close, it's really that good! Very rarely post reviews, 88 Grains merits the accolades.

Fantastic food and truly our favorite place to stop every time we visit Lincoln city. Please know the owner/chef works her butt off so wait times can easily be up to an hour sometimes. Favorites include crab fried rice and garlic

Food wasnt great border on bad. Sizzling pork had little flavor it was super bland and had grease pooling at the bottom of the to go box. Weirdly sweet and spicy but heavily under seasoned at the same time. Fish tacos were not very good either, flour tortillas were very soggy and the fish had a weird aftertaste. Fish and lime soup was good though. For the amount of money it was and the rating I was expecting a lot better. Maybe it was a fluke or just not their best dishes but it was 2 stars at best

This is an absolute hidden gem in Lincoln City. We check Yelp to find a place for dinner on vacation and found 88 Grains. Yes, the wait was long, but the wings alone are totally worth it. We are still talking about the "My Honey" wings. So crispy, flavorful, and delicious! If we had been in Lincoln City longer, we would have gone back.

We were driving through Lincoln City and looking for dinner on our way home, with another two hours or so left to drive. We came across this wonderful little restaurant after picking it out of a list of eateries on an online site of Oregon Coast places. The outside is very unassuming. What's inside is easily worth your time. Think of your favorite hole-in-the-wall diner or corner restaurant, and then give it the flair of sake-inspired drinks and pan-Asian spices and recipes and you'll be close. Our suggestion for first-time visitors to the restaurant: start with the garlic edamame. I don't know why we've not had garlic edamame before, but it's hard to imagine having it any other way now. Then, keep the plate the edamame came in; use the garlicy oil that's left over at the end, and pour it on an order of fried rice. You'll thank me later. Also incredible from our order: the chicken satay sliders, the honey garlic chicken wings (expect them to be more deeply colored, kind of caramel-y instead of cloyingly sweet), and my personal order, the spicy minced pork. I ordered my dish to be very spicy, and my wife confirmed that I'm not insane and actually mean it. And unlike most other places where you order it spicy and it comes back high-medium, this came back at just the right level, where it just starts to make the nose run. It was stunningly delicious without being overpowering. My only regret is that we were so impressed with the food that we forgot to take pictures before we had dug in.

The food was amazing. Restaurant is pretty small, but it was not busy at the time we went. I ordered the Cat fish tacos, and my friend ordered some Salmon in a coconut curry with white rice, we also had the chicken wings as an appetizer. Everything was phenomenal, including the Strawberry Saki, and our waitress. Will definitely be back!
Get the honey garlic wings; you won't regret it. One of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. If the chef bottled that sauce and sold it, I'd be first in line to buy some.

Very long wait for food, only saw waitress when we placed order and received food. The food was extremely salty and could not finish. Never

Just got done eating here and I can’t stop thinking about what an awesome meal my wife and I had! We ordered the Boran noodles with chicken and chicken fried rice. We shared with each other and can’t decide if we liked the rice or noodles better. Both were handmade and packed with flavor, with fresh onion, scallion and perfect amount of spices. The place looks rundown from street but is super clean and inviting once inside. Great food, cool little spot and service was top notch! We will definitely be back again!

This is a great little well kept secret in Lincoln City. Beautiful inside and the food is oh so yummy. A couple of video poker machines and the owner is just lovely. Stop in and enjoy!
