Filthy restroom, terrible service, cold food (when it should be served hot/warm), smaller food portions and increased price. I used to recommend Din Ho for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food in town. I don’t think I’ll be recommending it anymore and I certainly won’t be returning.

With inflation, I understand changes in food portion and price. But service was unacceptable. Our server forgot to bring rice to our table when we ordered sautéed veggies and he didn’t even come bother checking on us until we almost finished the dish. We had to actually raise our hand to get his attention, and even then he took forever to get rice to our table. Was the restaurant busy today when we got there? Nope. A bunch of empty tables, not busy at all.

We also ordered Beijing duck with a few other dishes. It came with a sauce that’s 1/3 full, and when we asked for more sauce, we were told it was gonna be $3 for extra sauce. We didn’t even receive the full sauce to begin with. And Beijing duck was really cold. It should be served warm in my understanding?

Half way through our meal, they gave us the check and to-go boxes. I didn’t even bother with them and just set them aside. A couple of minutes later, a different server brought us the takeout boxes again. Were they signaling us to take the leftovers home, just pay and get out? Hey, we were still eating! I know they give checks to customers before they finish their meals sometimes when there’s a shift change but that wasn’t the case. And when they do, they ask apologetically and also ask for customer’s understanding. Not the case today.

Inattentive (almost non-existing and borderline rude) service today with mediocre food left a bad taste in my mouth. It was supposed to a birthday dinner for my mom and I felt bad that I recommended the place for our family. We all left unhappy. Never coming back.

ETA: Din Ho never had good service, less than average at best, but I enjoyed some of their food so I kept coming back. The service we received today was so terrible that even my dad who’s never picky, the nicest guy you’d ever meet, won’t want to return.
