Good prices, good food, just make sure you tell them exactly what you want and don't assume things come with rice, gravy or chips........

Just ordered meal for 4. Estimated delivery time was 45-60. Fifteen minutes later text saying order was on its way, couple minutes later meal delivered. The best chicken i have ever had out of a Chinese restaurant! No stringy chewy bits, all chicken breast in Chicken Fried rice curried chicken. Chips and prawn crackers also tasted amazing. Just converted my uncle to be a fan of Mr Xie.

Food could be better. I got a munchy box and tbh it was a mess of stuff with overcooked items for the most part. I ordered online was given a time and upon arrival was asked to wait even longer. Really need to work on s few things in here guys

Great food and a perfectly cooked beef curry with onions and fried rice but was let down by one thing... I got a beef curry for me n Mrs to share so I asked if I could possibly have an empty tub but was gobsmacked when was told that will be a pound please... Ehh a just bought a full curry and your now charging me a pound for an empty tub... Just as well they do the best cooking in town or a would have been forced to go elsewhere... Come on get your act together munchie box...

It's usually ok place to get from, but got a Special Platter last night that was very poor in quantity for its price £9.50. Not suitable for more than one person as they dont tell how much of each item you get in it. But cooked perfectly.

Usually had decent food here , not sure if under new management or that, salt and chilli munchy box, but there were no sign of chilli's, peppers, spring onion or sesame seeds you'd usually get from other takeaways , chips were covered in uncooked cornflour? And only the odd chip would be caked in chilli powder, no right for the guts of £15

Ordered Salt & Chill Munchy box and the food was over-cooked, the BBQ sauce was rotten so was the curry sauce. Barely any chillis either was really just over-cooked food covered with lots of salt. Wont be wasting money here again.

Been using 88 for many years now. I know 6 families in Ayr alone who regularly use 88 rather than other similar establishments in the area as the food quality is consistent and no issues at all. I tend to and few of my family members and pals prefer to order in "non peak times" esp on a frid/sat evening. We prefer to order when there isn't an influx of orders on a frid/sat night at peak times. I think it's absolutely so unfair, rude and selfish to expect your order, however small or big etc to be given to U at the shop counter or via delivery service in a "normal" time frame. It's PEAK time so what's gonna happen is 88 kitchen staff are put under immense immediate pressure to get all food out fast, fast, faster ! They are working in a small shop, it's a small business, they can't cook your food faster than what they can ....unless U all wanna pay extra to employ robots to do it to the speed of lighting?! Give them a break please, do u think it's easy, simple and a great experience to slave away all day preparing food, then at 4pm onwards on a frid sat to cook to your specific requirements : no onions, extra onions, no peas, extra peas, bigger, smaller, this way, that way ? Nah.... doesn't sound that simple eh ? It gets up my nose when people get the meals delivered by the hard working delivery drivers who have to navigate the traffic, park in a safe place, up down, stairs and lifts like a yo yo and they get verbally abused saying U have been waiting too long etc ? Don't shoot the messenger......drivers can only start when they get the goods in their hands and the more people complaining esp on a frid sat evening at peak times doesn't help does it ?! Yes it would be fab if we all got our orders asap exactly the time we want but heh ....... You ain't cooking it and if 50 other orders phone at the same time thinking the same......? Yeah.....bit of a nightmare eh ? Solution: 1. Try to, if possible to order at a non peak time. 2. If U order at peak time expect a much longer significant wait as there will be 50 other orders thinking the same as U. 3. If they employ more kitchen staff or do renovations to make the kitchen bigger to accommodate the extra staff, they need to buy more cooking equipment etc. Would we all want another £10 extra added to our order as 88 would have to recuperate their expenses of expansion?! Nah ....... Didn't think so. 4. Think before you do bad reviews on the spur of the moment to let off a moan......these poor reviews give 88 a more difficult time in getting the customers in, to break even or make a small profit in order to do any possible extra staff hiring ! Catch 22. 5. If we all and esp the people who post bad reviews moaning re time it takes to get your food........ Think how difficult it must be to run the shop on much increased costs esp gas, electric, price of raw ingredients and suppliers upping their base prices but the owner trying not to add the increase to your bill. To be honest I am surprised they haven't already upped their prices even more significantly! 6. Let's all try to support a small business and be nice eh ? Don't get me wrong it's ok to leave a bad review on a genuine reason in any shop but waiting times re food ....... I think would that review help 88 long term to shorten your wait time ? Instead of the whole of Ayr esp on a frid sat night throughout the year.....try ordering on another day when there is less pressure in the kitchen. Does everyone REALLY need to eat only on a Friday Saturday night at the same time ?? Now it's Thursday night I am gonna treat myself to a nice chicken breast curry and fried rice at 88 now and I am gonna enjoy it because ordering tonight is better than ordering it at frid/sat pm with all U lot at the same time lol (Please don't think I am being rude to you ....... I just know how difficult the team work at 88 and that the bad reviews do affect them I think in an unjustified way). I don't want a cheap price. I wanna pay a FAIR price .....so my friends and I tend to give extra when we order as a tip. Pass on the good vibes.... Fiona

Bought 2 chicken kebabs tea time 6pm yesterday ,bill was £18.50 trying to be healthy . Salad and chicken . Hubby had some salad left and he forked it up something white crawled out of the remaining lettuce. After examining it it was a maggot alive . . Disgusted we binned mines and felt ill for hours at the thought of this . Didnt phone to complain because thought it was pointless at that stage , hubby had ate most , I hadnt though , but I need public to know serious hygiene issues for what I believed was always a decent takeaway . Not anymore WILL NOT BE BACK .Absolutely disgusting !!

Slice was that undercooked I had to message the Mrs to make sure she hadn’t taken in a second job. Links were nice. Wrong sauce on two rolls and was that pepper on the chips. Poor

Delivery driver, very decent guy. I've bought food direct while passing. This is the first time using app and delivery. Think I made a mistake and didn't order what I normally would have in the shop. But what I got was still fine.
