Every Gulf Coast city has one Chinese dining room that has outlasted three grocery stores. 888 is Baytown’s. 4567 Garth, suite 400. Combination plates, hot tea, a dining room that still feels like 1998 in the best way. Walnut shrimp, egg drop, the lunch special that arrives before you have unfolded the napkin.
If you want hand-pulled noodles, go to Noodle Master. If you want dumplings and bao, Dumpling Time on 146. If you want the walnut shrimp of your childhood, stay. Daily 11 to 9:30. (281) 428-8899.

Walnut shrimp or the house combination.
Local tip. Lunch specials are the value. This is not the hand-pulled room — don’t order as if it were.
