Reviews for PL8 Restaurant in Barrington, IL
We stopped for an early dinner so service was attentive and very pleasant. The pork egg rolls and steamed pot stickers were... excellent. We shared several dishes which were tasty but overly salty. The mei-ji shrimp was a notable disappointment. Therewere plenty of shrimp but the asparagus was overcooked, dry and stringy and impossible to cut into bite-size pieces. Ingeneral, we love PL8 and will continue to patronize the establishment but hope the kitchen can refine their seasoning. Read more
My family came to eat here when it opened on Saturday at 12 pm. The waiter greeted us and gave us a table and menus, but then we... had to find him to place our order. We had to find him again to get our check. The place is not very clean. Utensils were notclean and the floor had debris on it. The bathroom did not have a lot of soap either. Possibly this could be because they justopened when we went in, but it's weird because on that day not a lot of people were outside in Barrington. The food lackedflavor. The waiter gave us sauces to use in conjunction with the food. We were disappointed that the chef's expected us to addsauce to the dishes to make it taste good. Prices are high as well which does not help, and some portions were big, but not bigfor 5 people. Buddha's plate was the most flavorful thing and tasted pretty good. The Shanghai Bok Choi only had 5 pieces init. As a side note, the whole time my family was at the restaurant no one else came in to eat, which was a little weird. Also,don't be fooled by the aesthetic design of the place, which looks nice. Read more

Never left dissatisfied, Have always had an awesome server each time I have gone. and Have enjoyed everything I have eaten so... far. A tad on the pricier side as far as portion to price ratio goes, but the food is full of flavor and very fresh sodefinitely worth the price. I recommend this to anyone who wants to try something new.

The food was horrible and over priced. Food took way to long to come and was luke warm. This place use to be really good but... sadly has gone down the dumps. Even Panda Express has 1000 time better quality food Read more
