This simply furnished eatery offers a variety of noodle & stir-fry dishes, plus a full bar.
This evening I ordered the Beef with Broccoli ($21) which was served to me at nearly room temperature. I sent it back and about two minutes later the waiter brought the same serving back again after it was reheated. It then cooled off in almost no time and was back to the temperature it was before. The proper way to handle the situation would have been to give me a new portion. The beef had almost no taste except for the taste of the juice it was served with. They charged me an extra dollar because I chose brown rice instead of white rice, bringing the total to $22 before tax. I had their chicken corn soup as my starter, it did not have enough flavor to it. The restaurant is between 88th and 89th Streets on Third Avenue.
On a different day I tried their fish filet ($23) in brown sauce. The filet was sauteed and comes with mixed vegetables. I chose to have it with just broccoli (pictured). It was mild in taste, pleasing, and the size of the portion made it filling.

The food here was surprisingly good. The lunch special here is cheap and extensive! Great deal! They have a lot of dishes not normally seen on a Chinese menu. I loved the pork with dried Tofu. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was yummy. The hot and sour soup was a bit runny but still good. Service here is fast and efficient.

Very tasty full of flavor one of Best Chinese food in Manhattan. I tried different dishes I almost liked them all. The food tasted really fresh. All the meat and chicken cooked well. Staff very friendly and nice I recommend coming to here. The beef fried rice is great. Outdoor area pretty decent even it was raining. Parking not hard.

Came here for lunch, as I was craving asian food. Prices were of good value. I ordered the taiwanese braised pork lunch set. It came with hot and sour soup, which was nice. But the taiwanese braised pork rice was not was I was expecting.
It tastes alright. I should've ordered something else from the menu. If you're hungry, and crave asian food, and if you're in the area, it's ok to stop by.

If I could give zero stars I would! People beware, your food might come with kitchen supplies cooked into it. My dad was eating the egg roll that accompanies the lunch special when he began to choke. He pulled a big piece of Saran Wrap out of his throat, which had been cooked into the egg roll. We went back to the restaurant to bring it to their attention and they called us liars. It’s one thing to have consumed Saran Wrap but it was another to be completely dismissed by the restaurant.

After a day at the MET back in May, I found Wok88 at the last minute. My friends and I were starving, and we were amazed with the service and quality of food at this spot. The employees always came by for refills on water or napkins as we enjoyed our food. I had the sesame chicken based off reviews and it was delicious! Everyone's portions were perfect. By the end of our group's meal, we got some fresh pineapple with classic fortune cookies and the price of everything we had was very reasonable. The rest of the week we dubbed Wok88 as our favorite spot out of all the different spots we tried. Can't wait to go back!

Run...home of no flavor food. Who puts curry and cashews in fried rice? I wanted Chinese not Indian food. Susan needs a course in customer service btw. Worst $70 we’ve ever spent for take out. Requested extra sauce on the boneless spare ribs and different dunking sauce for the crab rangoon…nadda! There are better places to order from on the UES. My mistake for giving them a try.

La comida es buena, se nota una buena profesionalidad en cocina pero el servicio es de muy mala calidad, nunca me podría imaginar que en el centro de Manhattan en un restaurante te sirvan agua en un vaso de plástico reutilizando no pusieron una copa o vaso para cerveza, los camareros carecen de amabilidad.
Y como si fuera poco sólo faltó que el camarero me apuntara con pistola para que obligado le diera propina, siendo grosero en gesto y verbalmente.
Calificaría de Comedor obrero de una compañía en quiebras y mis respetos a los empleados de cocina.

Got charge $14.25 for this soup. When I ordered, the lady never told me they didn’t have chicken rice soup and just said ok. She said $19.50 on the phone which I might have misheard her for $9.50 which sounded about right for chicken soup and a side of rice because it was really loud. When the ordered was picked up by someone else, that’s when I found out the cost of this soup. I called back and a different lady answered and I asked how much the cost was for chicken rice soup and she said they didn’t have that on the menu but they charge a chicken noodle soup price which is $10 and take out the noodles and add rice which is extra $4.25?? But the other lady never explained that and charged $14.25 which is ridiculous for this soup. If I had known the pricing of the first lady explained the break down, I would not have ordered it and their customer service is very rude. Don’t expect them to fix things if they get it wrong. Will not be ordering from here again. The soup is super bland too.

I had ordered a simple chicken wings and plain fried rice, when my food arrived I even tipped the guy and spent 15 dollars :/ when I started eating the rice smelled and tasted horrible, the chicken was an odd color and when I ripped it 2 of them open, one was blood red in the middle it might as well have been walking and the other was straight raw white meat in the middle. Absolute terrible do not recommend.

I paid $42 for a container of general tso's chicken, a pork fried rice, and an egg roll.
The sizes were very small for $20 dishes.
The flavor was lacking. I would describe the food as not outright bad and definitely edible, but not tasty, not great, and definitely not worth the insane price to portion size.
When there are much better options at a more competitive price I don't see why I would ever order here again.

I recently ordered takeout from Wok 88, a Chinese restaurant that exceeded my expectations. I opted for the lunch special beef broccoli, which was a flavorful and well-executed dish, even when enjoyed at home.
The takeout packaging was well-done, with the food neatly packed and easy to transport. The lunch special was a great value, with a generous portion of beef and broccoli served with rice and a choice of soup or egg roll. The beef was still tender and cooked to perfection, and the broccoli remained crisp and fresh.
Overall, I highly recommend Wok 88 for anyone looking for delicious Chinese takeout in a welcoming atmosphere. The beef broccoli lunch special is a standout dish that I plan on ordering again in the future.

I went to Wok88 tonight and I’ve been here plenty of times however tonight I purchased chicken and broccoli which I usually get, but for some strange reason the chicken was white, there was it barely any sauce at all and it looked as though it wasn’t fully cooked! I am sooooo disappointed because not only did I pay $20.96 but the least you can do is prepare the food the right way! My order number was # 91. Please put enough sauce to cover the chicken and please cook it thoroughly so that it has some color. Nobody eats white unseasoned chicken!

Th food here used to be so good and my go to but it has completely fallen off. My staple is the shrimp with broccoli with white rice and a large shrimp fried rice. The white rice was awful it taste chalky the shrimp were over cooked and shriveled up. The broccoli had to have been blanched for ten seconds it’s so hard. She fried rice is bland and lacks all flavor. They have lost me as a customer something told me I should have stocked to Ollie’s. Never again.

Recently went here and discovered the LUNCH menu prices have INCREASED- while the portions have remained the same. I could sort of justify paying the previous amount for a SMALL bowl of fried rice/ chiken & broccoli. But now with the new increase- wont do it. Also- they round UP on the "sales TAX"- which seems shady-& hella suspect. Granted its a couple pennies- but if ALL customers are paying...then
