Ho Ho Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Denver

I’ve been coming here for about 4 years, and when I lived nearby I would come here 2-3 times a week. They give you a MOUNTAIN of food and a drink for like $7.

Here are my Ho Ho Pro Tips:

-Always get white rice, not fried rice. There is plenty of oil on everything else for your rice to soak up. -Avoid the orange chicken and sesame chicken (they’re 95% batter with almost no chicken in them.) -Get whatever looks fresh! When it’s fresh, it’s delicious. When it’s been sitting under the heat lamps for hours, not so much. This is really important. I would never order delivery from here, since I wouldn’t be able to see which dishes are fresh.

Some of my favorites are:

-Pepper Shrimp- they somehow cook them so that the shells become edible and crunchy. Honestly these are some of my favorite shrimp ever. -Potatoes- these babies are MAGICAL. I usually get a side of these in addition to the combo meal. -Jalapeño chicken- not very spicy or jalapeño-y at all, actually quite sweet. -Satay Chicken- tastes like southern fried chicken. -Beef broccoli- good if you don’t mind your broccoli crisp. Good source of fiber to balance all the oil, carbs, and protein in everything else. -Mushroom chicken- zucchini and mushrooms make this another good source of fiber. -Kung pao chicken- tons of vegetables, also a good source of fiber. Less chicken than other chicken dishes. Eating the big jalapeño chunks in this increased my spice tolerance so much in the first couple years I came here.

Is this a true 5 star restaurant? Absolutely not. But are they a godsend to this city? Absolutely yes. Ho Ho is a place where anyone can get a huge, reasonably healthy, tasty meal, for a reasonable price, in an era and city of...

😆🤣 You get what you pay for.🤷🏿‍♀️ Pros: Hella Lo Main or Rice. They fill up the tray 75%. So you'll have more to throw away.😁 It's not dirty. It's not clean either, but it's not dirty. FREE FORK and napkins!!🥳

The sesame chicken has so little chicken I believe a vegan could eat it. Look at the pic, Where's the chicken? 😟

I don't what kind of "chicken" is in the mushroom chicken...but it's pink, not like undercooked, like the crayon light pink. I imagine it's the same "chicken" Taco Bells nuggets are made of. 🤔

The "spring roll" was 100% cooked...this morning and left under the lamp till I got there. Now you use yesterday's rice for fried rice I know...but it's not supposed to be the day before the day before yesterday. Failing at fried rice at an Chinese "resturant" is INSANE. 😵‍💫

THE soda is a Big K. And there's not even 1 of the new flavors. I mean if you're going to buy cheap at least branch out no?

Overall the dead eyed stare of the clerk, as she mumbles through the "food" order, is just what I needed to drive down the street and get an actual lunch.

Yall have been in this area for awhile. The food and service shows what you think of it. This is my first and last visit. I wishing you all the best, and a health...

This is the most Chinese food I've ever seen for $7. And it was hot and delicious. Granted, I came around noon on a Saturday, but I can't complain at all.

I sat with my bounty and, after eating the jalapeno chicken, realized I get a FREE can of soda with my meal. Completely spaced it because I had like $15 worth of food in front of me for $7. Daaang.

Anyone complaining about "service" is being a little ridiculous. There is plexiglass covering the entire food area with small holes cut out. I think the closest thing to "bad service" I received was the lady not being able to hear me very well. Sure, she wasn't bubbly or overly charismatic, but she's an old Chinese immigrant, dude. She's probably owned this place for 50 years. She was pleasant, efficient, and gave me more food than God eats. For $7.

I can't recommend enough this restaurant. Those complaining don't realize that sometimes you've got to go to the hood for bomb Chinese. And maybe their restaurant isn't updated is because they're making negative money so that you can enjoy a cheap lunch.

Come here. Bring your friends. Lock...
