Cafe 88 is an absolute treasure for anyone craving authentic Chinese food. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you’re stepping into someone’s home — the kind of place where a grandmother is cooking up hearty, comforting meals with love.

I cannot believe we have this restaurant here! Authentic Taiwanese food. The popcorn chicken made me cry. The beef noodle soup was average good. The bento box was amazing. The restaurant was run by an old couple. The service may not be the greatest, but they got the job done. Will definitely visit again to try other dishes.

Owner's attitude has gotten worse over the years, very typical of Asian Tiger mom. Come here if you want a place that serves up mostly authentic Taiwanese dishes at a good price point with not too much fuss. Ignore the rudeness and you might be able to just enjoy the flavors of the food.
I'll skip this place next time...
