88 Canteen - FLUSHING

This place serving foods brought back my childhood memories of 茶餐廳 feel. Must visit when I stop by Queens again.

I bought a meat porridge and found it tasted sour at home, called the restaurant to stop selling it, the operator kept denying that there was a problem with the restaurant's food. You are able to sell, get money, so? The customer feedback food problems are not responsible.

3.5 stars I was in the area with my family and we tried this place since it was just a few blocks away. The food isn't too salty which was a plus for my mom and I. My brother enjoyed his hainanese chicken. You can get either white or yellow rice. Decent portion for $9 I guess...My mom got 2-3 meals from it since she can't eat too much. The young chow fried rice wasn't salty, but it doesn't have that wok hei so it was very plain tasting. I didn't mind it. Beef chow fun had more flavor, again if there was some wok hei, would've been tastier. Not much beef but that's to be expected. Still lots of noodles. L tried the Taiwanese pork belly which comes with preserved veggies and an egg. He liked it a lot but I didn't care for the sauce. Would like to see am improved health report. We ordered from this place out of convenience since we couldn't go to far. More affordable then sit down Chinese restaurants. Food isn't bad, really convenient if you need food near the hospital.

The food is somewhat expensive, but it's definitely worthwhile, which is why I keep returning.

The Portuguese sauce had the right flavor, but the chicken tasted canned—its pinkish hue suggested it had been brined and it fell apart in shreds. Unfortunately, both the fish and beef dishes were overly salty. They could have been enjoyable if the sauce hadn’t left me feeling so thirsty afterward. Lastly, the congee was disappointing; the taste indicated that the meat and bones used were spoiled. I doubt I'll return to this restaurant and wouldn't recommend these particular dishes.
