"Hao Hao" means "Good Good" in Chinese, and honestly, that name fits perfectly! If they opened a location on the West side, I have no doubt it would be a big hit.
The restaurant shares its space with the ice cream shop next door, divided by a half wall. You can't walk between the two, but you can easily see and wave to someone on the other side, a quirky and fun setup. The decor is simple and feels like it might be leftover from the previous restaurant.
Our server was friendly, though the woman with short hair seemed a bit less friendly, maybe we caught her right before a break? Oh well.
We ordered Hot & Sour Soup, Salt and Pepper Pork Chop, Shrimp Pan-Fried Noodles, and Dried Scallop & Crab Meat Fried Rice. We always use Hot & Sour Soup as a first-visit test at Chinese restaurants, and this one passed, loaded with ingredients and just the right amount of spice.
The fried rice was flavorful without being greasy, and the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. You can tell they use fresh oil, the pork wasn't dark or oily at all. The pan fried noodles were tasty, though I wished they were a bit crispier, as they came out softer than I expected.
Portions? Huge. Prices? Reasonable. Parking? Easy. We'll definitely be back to try more!
