   From the reviews, this place sounded like it was going to be really good! I had a reservation since I thought you might need one, but you definitely do not When we got there, we had a party of five , everything is very clean. I ordered the orange chicken for my children, which looked pretty good! I ordered two skewers of the pork butt but I was not impressed at all. It was really fatty and not seared , then it looked like someone just globbed sauce on top of it. I was not very pleased and it did not taste very good. Also came with some salad that was really spicy and I absolutely hate spice. We also ordered the calamari and the edamame, which came out pretty well! I would recommend those two dishes for sure . I ordered the tuna tataki which usually comes with about five or six pieces of tuna instead once again, this came with four pieces of tuna on a scoop of lettuce and lots of onion, which I do not like a lot of onion. We ordered seaweed salad, and as you know, it’s not a seaweed salad. It’s that on a bed of onions and cucumbers which is a huge no for me . My husband got the bun bowl , that one looked pretty good. It had a huge piece of steak , egg roll, a skewer of shrimp once again the lettuce with onion he said he really enjoyed it. The server was kind, but she did not clean off the dishes that we had neatly stacked up at the end of the table. The tables aren’t that big and with three kids it gets very difficult. From the pictures, I was hoping for this to be like a really cool spot very trendy very yummy food but instead, it really was not there was nothing phenomenal about this place. Maybe I’ll try something different next time to see if it was just what I ordered.. but when we got there, there was no one in the restaurant besides the hostess and the servers. I mean it is in the back of the casino but still.

   First, you can definitely smell the smoke from where people are playing slots. Second, we ordered garlic chicken wings as a starter, a special entree that was salt and pepper ribs, and magnolian beef. Magnolian beef was by far the best dinner. It was really good. The other two were very disappointing. We barely ever have date nights so we enjoyed our time out but next time we would choose a different restaurant.

   Service was good at the table. Very loud. Tables were way too close to each other. Food tasted good but was food court quality on a fancy plate not worth the price. Understood to expect it in a casino but thought it would have been better. They asked for special instructions or what celebrations we were celebrating when booking. Requests not met, not even a happy birthday to who we were celebrating. Bummer!

   Everything overall was good. The only thing that was off was the bento box was really sized down in quantity and size of the shrimp. All delicious dishes though.

   This was my first time eating at 8 Restaurant! For the family gathering we had, it was a great fit. Everyone had space, the food was good and Great portions. It’s a good restaurant for a casino. And, the staff is Great! 👍🏾 Come hungry and ready to have fun!

    Food was great! Only complaint was the service. Our food was ready but we have to ask for silverware because there were none on our table. Server assigned to us was not attentive. She never asked if we need anything else or if we need anymore drinks. FYI, for *TIP* automatically added for large parties. We understand the reason for this..Our server should have done a better service!!! We have 2 bday celebrants and my request on my reservation did not even happen😒
