      Chinese restaurant; its common round my area for chinese places to put a 1 in the title. Like “No. 1 Chinese Kitchen” which we lovingly call “No One Chinese Kitchen”

        I used to live near a restaurant called, IIRC, China 88. Do you think it might have been the 87th sequel?

          8 is a lucky number in China because it’s pronounced similarly to the word for wealth/riches.
