Reviews
We started with the cucumber mushroom salad, which was so fresh and addictive, followed by the sesame prawn toast absolutely fantastic.
The star of the evening, though, was the roasted chicken. It was hands-down the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I’ve ever had. The scallion-ginger sauce that came with it was incredible, and the seasonal fried rice with broccoli was the perfect pairing.
The wine selections were spot on and really elevated the whole dinner.
Honestly, if you want an unforgettable dining experience, 88 Club is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!
SERVICE/AMBIANCE: 2/5
We had a reservation, but still waited awkwardly in the doorway (no other place we were told to wait) for at least a few minutes, blocking other patrons from entering. The host was completely zoned out and gestured vaguely after a few minutes, and as we started walking towards the table, we realized he was talking to another party. Some communication would have been nice, and maybe he could have had us wait in the adjacent (empty!) bar/lounge area until our table was ready?
We sat down at the table for at least 15 minutes before anyone even asked us about water or drinks. This entire time we had a clear view of the host, who was still spaced out and staring into the distance.
FOOD: 4/5
The “Singaporean chow mein” was a complete let down, maybe because it was a vegan version? This is a common dish in any Cantonese restaurant, and anyone who’s been to the SGV would be familiar with it. However, this version was lacking wok hei and lacking the egg and char siu that provides this dish its punch of flavor. This one fell flat for sure, and I wish we were given a heads up that this was a vegan dish and probably very different from what we’re used to.
Mapo tofu was overwhelmingly salty and probably meant to be eaten with rice, but no one suggested adding any rice or explained how it was meant to be eaten. It is clear the servers do not have any context or knowledge about this dish or the Singaporean dish as explained above. This is disappointing for those of us that grew up eating these dishes.
Successful dishes included the prawn toast, the XO rice cakes, the 3 cup maitake, the mango sago and almond pudding desserts. However a simple question about the ingredients in the almond pudding clearly left the waiter fumbling and flustered – more training and learning is desperately needed for this restaurant to reach its full potential.
OVERALL: 3/5
I would love to give 88 Club another try once it’s gotten its act together, because the dishes and concepts are inventive, but the service and knowledge of its staff is completely lacking. Hope to be back soon!
We tried:
Jelly Noodles: Spicy, flavorful, and delicious—my second-favorite bite of the night.
Prawn Toast: Super unique with the prawns tucked inside the toast. I see why it’s a standout signature dish!
Beef Chow Mein: Hands down my favorite—absolutely delicious.
Peppered Steak: This one didn’t quite hit the mark for us; it fell a bit short compared to a great homemade steak.
Fried Rice: Solid but straightforward—nothing extraordinary, just a reliable side.
Maitake: Deep-fried mushrooms done right—you really can’t go wrong.
Custard Bun: A sweet, perfect way to end the meal.
Overall a strong experience—we’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!
The service was great with attentive and professional servers and manager.
Food is scrumptious bringing out the traditional flavors with a twist of chef Mei’s magic!
The dessert mango pomelo sago is the best I’ve ever tasted!
Highly recommend and will definitely come again, soon.
The food was thankfully the best part each dish was well prepared and fresh. It’s not traditional Chinese food but it’s enjoyable. The plating was sometimes odd with several dishes piled high with cilantro that seemed out of place but I didn’t feel any of the dishes were bad. There wasn’t anything special or imaginative outside of the cocktails.
Unfortunately the service and pacing were very off. Time between each course was too long and at one point we received our main dish without sides and that took another 10-15 minutes. The format and timing doesn’t make sense for a restaurant that emphasizes shared dishes.
Staff were not very friendly and despite a very high staff to table ratio they never really felt present or attentive
Overall the experience was disappointing especially for the price and even for a newly opened restaurant I don’t think there’s any reason I’d want to try again.
