Don't be fooled by the inauspicious location in a tiny strip mall. This restaurant served delicious food fast. My twins wanted Chinese food for their birthday and, frankly, I had not been impressed by anything I had tried so far in Charlotte. 88 China Bistro was written up in Creative Loafing as being one of only a couple Chinese restaurants that make their egg rolls fresh every day. It was obvious that their food was fresh and flavorful. Spring rolls, crab rangoon, and pan fried dumplings were devoured immediately by my family. My kids all ordered wonton soup and, although I did not care for it, they all loved it. Our waiter recommended the pineapple fried rice - served in a carved out pineapple (!) Delicious! We also ordered a plate of mixed sauteed vegetables and the tangerine chicken. Both were great. The chicken was perfectly cooked, nice and crispy with a lot of flavor. We grabbed a takeout menu on the way out the door - can't wait for our next takeout night! We will certainly be coming back.
