Large portions and really good flavors in our different meals. Very good crab rangoon.

Go to Chinese spot in the valley. The food is delicious. The service is perfect. The prices are fair. They give you a lot of food and all of it on the menu is cooked with care. Big fan of the garlic chicken. The chicken fried rice is perfect. Dining room is spacious. It’s always quiet when I go because no one is stopping to talk. All I hear is an occasional word or spoons and forks making contact with plates and mouths. You wanna know if anywheres food is good. Smell and listen. Smell and listen.

This place is a treasure and the food is quality and its fairly priced. The daily specials are the most economical choice. Get the hot mustard it is homemade and excellent. THE ONLY negative and warning when ordering to-go is to CHECK YOUR ORDER before you leave as our orders were missing egg rolls, mustard and other items we requested and paid for. They need to work on that it’s maddening!

I don’t even know where to begin with the disappointment from tonight’s dinner at China 8. The experience left me nearly speechless. It seems the chef took some serious liberties with traditional dishes, and the results were underwhelming at best.
Take the chicken teriyaki, for instance. The photo attached reveals a dish where more than half the ingredients, particularly the onion and the teriyaki sauce, missed the mark entirely. It didn’t taste like teriyaki at all, and I’m still left with an unpleasant onion flavor lingering in my mouth after an hour at home.
As for the barbecue pork, the chef also went off-script. It was extremely chewy and far from enjoyable. I had heard that this place was the best Chinese option around, but if this is what they serve, I can’t agree.
Additionally, the ambience felt more like a rundown diner than a dining establishment, which added to the overall disappointment. The staff also lacked friendliness and attentiveness; it felt like we were an afterthought rather than valued customers.
Overall, my expectations were dashed, and I can confidently say that the food is not worth the money. I won’t be returning to China 8. Save your time and money for better options!

My favorite Chinese food in the valley. The gastronomy is really good, especially if you taste dishes out of the ordinary. I recommend the ying yang shrimp, Mushu beef, or the white fish in ginger sauce.
The employees are very attentive, and they predict your needs.

Ordered from here a few times but definitely not again!! teriyaki beef appetizer was as dry as jerky, hot and sour soup was basically egg drop with a piece of tofu. Orange chicken was disgusting (partner ordered last time and opted for panda express this time). I basically took 2 bites of each thing and threw my entire order in the trash!!

Ordered this place to try a new Asian spot, the generals chicken tasted burnt, almost like charcoal. The sauce was super bland, brocolli was completely raw, not even steamed, & the fried rice had zero flavor, also showed up cold. Delivery was only 10 minutes. 2/10

I went there—twice—during my visit to Palm Springs, recently. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the restaurant itself was very clean and presentable. Will definitely go again.

I have been eating here since I have started working in this area in 2006. The portions are big the food is flavorful and the employees are very nice and always asks if we need more soda. My favorite place in cathedral city

It’s an unsuspecting little Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. They offer the quintessential fixings you’d expect in an old school Chinese joint. The prices are still relatively cheap. The food and portions are better than average for sure.
Try it out!
