Ho's is for real You aren't getting strips of pork in your soup at your local joint.

Whenever I’m craving classic Chinese comfort food, this spot always delivers. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the service is quick and friendly. Great for a cozy meal in or easy takeout.

November 2020. Craving Chinese take out. Called in advance. Picked up in 15mins. Cash only. $12.40 for Pork Lo Mein and General Two’s chicken. Both small orders. Food is hot and tasty and will last me two days.

I don’t know why Ho’s doesn’t have 5stars! They are a mom and pop owned and operated Chinese food restaurant. Everything on their order is cooked fresh and it is very tasty. I ordered boneless spare ribs and sesame chicken! Both were amazing!!!! 10/10 will be back again, and would recommend to a friend. Fairly priced, fresh, delicious and tasty.
