We had a great time here having hot pot for the first time. Ask for instructions on what to do and note that the mild ‘hot and spicy’ is still soo hot (loads of chillies) and we love chillie! But still delicious. We came for...a birthday which the restaurant honoured in their own initiative, a lovely gesture. Service was great and we would definitely come again.More
Best customer service and lovely food - very good cheap prices for HotPot. I will def be back - Thank you for the wonderful experience
Excellent flavors and nice atmosphere. Went there on a whim and they were able to squeeze us in without a reservation.
We went to Restaurant 88 for a Friday night dinner. The place was pretty busy. Atmosphere was nice and staff were friendly. However, the food did not live up to expectations. The noodle dish we had was the better of the two, with the prawns...being nicely cooked, but the squid in very tiny pieces. The vegetarian rice crepe on the other hand left a lot to be desired. The main vegetable ingredient was shredded lettuce with a few slices of mushrooms and herbs and a few seemingly hollow tofu pieces. There was no sauce to bind it together unless were were meant to pour the pickle juice over it. Overall, an expensive lettuce wrap.More
First visit to Wellington from Uk in 5 years and 88 was still open walked in early on Friday evening quite busy. Service excellent so was food. We had 4 plates to share salon pepper squid. Duck wraps , spring rolls and dumplings with Pallasier...roseMore
Hello, thank you so much for revisiting our restaurant. Thank you for your excellent review, much appreciated. Luke
This restaurant has been around for years which speaks volumes post Covid. Lovely Vietnamese food. Friendly and efficient service. Reasonable prices and unusually for an Asian restaurant, the desserts were fabulous too.

Hi thank you for your great review, much appreciated. Luke
I have been many times over the years. It’s always been amazing. Tonight was no different! I usually get the chicken. I did again and it was brilliant. My wife got the fish and that was just as good. Highly highly recommend it!
Hi, thank you for your great review, much appreciated. Luke
Cannot fault this meal at all. I got the lemongrass chicken with coconut noodles and it was DIVINE. Beautiful balance of flavours, good portion and reasonable price. Have eaten here many times and it never disappoints.

Great selection in menu , more desserts and they brought back the drunken baby chicken. All perfectly cooked. Great service and salted plum drink still a favourite. Love coming here the atmosphere, the service and food has never let me down.
Hi, thank you so much for a great review. We appreciate you coming in and trying out some of the new items on our menu, feel free to visit us again. D Pham
Restaurant 88 is the address! It is 88 Tory Street. We have been coming to this restaurant for many years and will still go back to it because the Vietnamese food here is scrumptous. The service is very good too and it has a rather...pleasant and clean environment. The upside down tear drop lanterns hanging from the ceiling are a delight. They have small plates which are appetisers and gives one a chance to try different dishes at a small price. You can always have 2 small plates in place of a big one. Under the big plates, The Saigon Banh Tham, which is a bit like a western mix grill, is good value for money. The drunken salt baby chicken is a good choice. It is nice and crispy. they have replaced the glutinous rice to Hainan rice which is a lot tastier. The Hainan rice is cooked in chicken broth. On the whole, their portion size has reduced over the years which is a bit disappointing.More
Hi, thank you for a great review. We are happy you enjoyed our food and service. Yes, we have made changes to our menu. Our new menu gives customers more choices from small to larger plates, all reflected in our pricing. We find its more...More
I would recommend Restaurant 88. We dined there last night the food was delicious: Rice rolls, dumplings, fried rice and chicken dishes were all tasty. Further visits are required to explore the menu.
Hi thank you for visiting us, glad you enjoyed our food and hospitality, please come back and try something else. Regards D Pham.
The best sweet and sour pork we’ve ever had, the pok pok chicken was also amazing. Highly recommend!!
Hi, thank you for an excellent review. Glad you enjoyed our food. The sweet and sour pork is made with all-natural ingredients and colouring. D Pham.
I would highly recommend this restaurant! My family dined here this evening and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive and helpful when changing things on the menu for fussy children! The dumplings were flavourful and completely delicious as was the...Lemongrass chicken and coconut noodles... I could go on!!! We will definitely be back here when we are next in Wellington. 😀😀😀More
