Not everyone knows this, but hidden inside 88 Supermarket is a full kitchen called 88Kitchen. More than just a grocery stop, this takeaway-style spot serves a wide range of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese food — all at prices that are hard to beat in today’s economy. Whether you’re craving BBQ pork, banh mi, or sushi, 88Kitchen has something for everyone.
Chinese Food: Self-Select Combos & BBQ Favourites
One of the main draws at 88Kitchen is their Chinese rice combos. You can choose from 25+ different dishes, including favourites like sweet & sour pork, beef & broccoli, and string beans with eggplant. Pricing is refreshingly affordable:
- 1 side + rice: $9.48
- 2 sides + rice: $11.48
- 3 sides + rice: $12.98
You can even upgrade your rice to fried rice or noodles for just 50¢ more. For comparison, similar combo-style restaurants like Dragon Bowl at Yaohan Centre charge closer to $15 for two items with fried rice, making 88Kitchen around 20% cheaper.
In addition to hot table combos, 88Kitchen also serves Chinese BBQ:
- BBQ Pork: $11.98/lb
- Roasted Pork: $14.98/lb
- Whole Roasted Pig: $298
Perfect for everything from a quick lunch box to catering a family party.
Vietnamese Favourites: Banh Mi & Salad Rolls at 88Kitchen
If you’re craving something lighter, 88Kitchen also makes Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches starting at $8.48 and salad rolls for $7.98. It’s a great grab-and-go option when you’re shopping at the supermarket and want something fresh without breaking the bank.
Sushi & Japanese Options at 88Kitchen
Surprisingly, 88Kitchen also offers sushi — including rolls, combos, donburi bowls, and even full party trays. A standout deal is their Salmon Don for only $12.98.
They also stock prepackaged sushi near their sushi bar. If you swing by later in the evening, you might spot a 25% off sticker on certain packs. Plus, their weekly flyers often feature sushi roll specials at discounted prices — though these tend to sell out quickly thanks to the value.
Clean, Affordable & Convenient
One of the best parts about 88Kitchen is how clean and well-organized their kitchen is. With such affordable pricing, it’s refreshing to see quality maintained at a high level. And in today’s economy, their menu feels like a welcome relief compared to rising prices across the city.
88Kitchen currently has three locations across the Lower Mainland, with the Richmond branch inside 88 Supermarket being the one we visited.
