Ho Ho Restaurant — Restaurant in Forrest City

Normally for a restaurant this bad I would just give it one star and say the food was terrible. But, they are also dishonest, so I am going to give them the full treatment.

First, the dishonest part. They made a deal with area hotels that if the hotel guests come in they will get 10% off. Now 10% is kind of small to begin with so you would think that it would not be a problem. But when you go to check out they start adding conditions. They told me I had to pay in cash in order to get the 10% off. If you have cash, they probably make up something else. Also the only way this place could get a 4 star rating is if they pad the reviews. I don't care if this is the best Chinese food in the country, for this reason alone I would not eat here.

One of the reviewers said that this place was just updated. That could only be true if they updated it from late post Civil War to 60's Rundown. Linoleum floors, wood paneling, Formica tables, and not very clean are just some of the features of this restaurant. I suspect this reviewer was someone's uncle.

Now, the food. Nothing was fresh, every thing seemed like it had been sitting around all day. The chicken was scarce, tough, and tasteless. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken and was served Chicken with Broccoli. They couldn't serve my wife's and my meal at the same time because I guess they only have one wok. My wife got her meal 10 minutes before mine came.

So I am tempted to create a new Travelling Rule. Something like "Never order Chinese food in Arkansas" to go along with "Never order Mexican food in NY", but it is probably just this place.

I hope that extra $1.50 they got out of me was...

The staffs was amazing. Great services. I'm really thankful for that. However, I don't think it tasted anything like Chinese food. I ordered the sesame chicken and shrimp lo mein. The portion and price was...okay. Well, it looks good though. Sadly the taste isn't what I expected. It's waaaaaaaay too sweet and I can barely eat it. (My bad, I didn't see other reviews before I came-- which mostly also mentioned the super sweet taste). I decided to wash it over and recooked it at home to not waste anything. I think it's my first and my last time visiting this restaurant. Thank you so much for the great service and kind staffs! I really...

Dull experience. Waitress was ok but definitely trying to build a fake rapport. Kind of like a half ass conversation. Food was okay. Not a lot to choose from but I've seen worse and was reasonably fresh. Has no sushi or wasabi. Fried rice was good but had too much other items mixed in with it. Had to pay extra for crab ragoon. Not the most authentic experience considering the only Asian workers were the owners. I give it three Stars based on atmosphere, food, cleanliness, variety, and personality. Atmosphere food and cleanliness were good so you got three stars for them however Variety and personality made me feel left wanting and...
