Yuan Ho — Restaurant in Charlottesville

I don’t know what happened with some of y’all, but I lived in Cville for two years (2019-2021) and I ordered a lunch or dinner special religiously from Yuan Ho, sometimes more than twice a week, and never had any complaints. In fact, their General Tso’s chicken & sesame chicken are so consistently good that I can’t order either of those things from any Chinese restaurant in my new city, because every single one is so much worse than Yuan Ho— and that’s saying something.

The food was decent, it wasn’t too good. The place needs to be cleaned...

The restaurant is in a defunct grocery store on the outside. It’s hard to tell that it’s even a restaurant. Kind of dirty on the inside very grungy. I was so excited. I had ordered Panko fried seafood, which turned out to be cold, and something that they pulled out of the refrigerator that had been pre-fried. It was dry and tasteless. The best thing about that was the I also ordered a vegetable dinner and I’m glad I did because the actual Panko fried “” dinner only came with rice. The vegetables with brown sauce was ok. both dishes were small for the price. just order the soups. They were delicious I had miso with tofu and seaweed. And hot and sour. I’ll never...
