China Eight

Finally some good Chinese food! Happy we found China 8, best Chinese we have had in Florida. By FAR best in Tavares. We had General Tso Chicken, boneless spare ribs (so good), on the bone spare ribs, Singapore Chow Mei Fun (this was okay), egg rolls, white rice, pork fried rice and cheesy wontons. We were a big group and everyone enjoyed the meal!

This place has been in the plaza for longer than I’ve lived here and haven’t thought about trying it until about two years ago. I greatly regret that because the food is phenomenal. This is our go to spot good Chinese food or any food that’s ready to eat, but not too heavy on the stomach. Unlike other Chinese restaurants i’ve eaten from, the food here is not dowsed and salt or excess soy sauce. The wonton soup is my favorite. we always get the fried rice and also enjoy the lo mein, sweet-and-sour, chicken, and bourbon chicken. Ingredients look and taste fresh. Everything feels homemade and I’m not sure, but it also feels like it’s made with lots of love.

Im from NYC and was visiting Florida. My order was taken by two young precious little princesses, daughters of thie family run business. I ordered garlic chicken wings, they WERE PHENOMENAL!! The sauce needs to be bottled up and sold!! My other order was the general tso chicken combo and it was good but only had 3 pie es of broccoli. I would've taken a picture of the chicken wings but I devoured them too quickly. Get the garlic wings!!

I picked up last night for dinner, and it was so good I picked it up for lunch again today! I got bourbon chicken, vegetable lo mein, and an egg roll. I spent $20 but it’s well worth it because it feeds both my daughter and I & I still have left overs! When I picked it up the restaurant was clean too, definitely my go to Chinese place from now on. Also, they always have their kids & I love that it’s family owned and they teach them to help out with the business!

This restaurant is currently set up for takeout ONLY. Very easy and simple online ordering system allows you to order entire menu on your computer. Payment takes place at the restaurant, not online. As usual, the food was packaged and ready when we arrived. Very pleasant staff made the transaction quick and friendly. Very generous with portions, and over-supplied fortune cookies and egg rolls, which was greatly appreciated. Food was exactly as ordered. All interaction was done through a partition, maximizing safety in a Covid-19 environment. Overall, an excellent experience, allowing us to have very tasty Chinese cuisine at home, quickly and safely.

Excellent place that I’d absolutely recommend. Very tasty food, always trust that a dish will be hearty, flavorful, and excellent value. They are very safe to visit for take out as they have common sense social distancing recommendations at the door and a completely sealed-off kitchen and strictly wear masks to keep their staff in good health! I’ve enjoyed their hot n sour soup, won ton soup, sweet n sour pork, Kung pao chicken, and general tsos chicken
