Andover went a long time without any Chinese options. Now they have a few, but Wok 88 is my top choice. I feel like we end up getting Chinese take-out at least once every time I'm in town (my mom lives in Andover). Wok 88 has delivery - which is a nice perk. The delivery driver is SO nice and arrives fairly quickly.
Another huge plus is the vegetarian options on the menu. There are plenty of tofu-and-veggie-filled options, which makes me a happy camper. I especially like the sesame tofu, veggie lo mein and broccoli in garlic sauce.
(Great sized portions, too!) -

If there were a way to do 3.5 stars, they'd get the extra 1/2 star. Just not quite enough for 4 whole stars.
It's located in a strip mall off Bunker Lake Boulevard. To be honest, I can see it being fairly easy to overlook as I did for the first few years they were there. The key draw to me was, they deliver. And the driver has always been timely, extremely polite and seemed genuinely nice.
They have all the regular standard fare of 99% any other Chinese take out place. But, 88 Wok is more hit than miss. The things I've had that I liked, I loved. The things I ordered that were mediocre, were pretty damned 'bleh'.
I'll do a quick list of items I've had. The fried shrimp were middle of the road. Not horrible, but didn't stick out. Fried dumplings are good. The house special fried rice (lots of veggies & meat) is generally very good (although I have found another place locally that tops it). The Singapore mai fan is good. Although it seems with mai fan, it's really hard to screw up since it's been virtually identical every place I've ever had it. The pork egg foo young at 88 Wok is the best I've had. The texture, gravy and flavor are outstanding. Chicken with curry, Mongolian beef and Szechuan beef are all very good. The Hunan beef, roast pork w/ garlic are both middle of the road and somewhat bland. The pan fried noodles were virtually tasteless. It even looked flavorless. With the exception of the broccoli, the noodles and chicken were almost a stark white. Like they actually sucked the flavor out of it intentionally.
Overall, for your run of the mill local Chinese take out, 88 Wok is definitely better than average. And the delivery is a nice bonus in the suburbs.Listed in: My favs
