We got here around 2:43pm on a Friday and ordered Roasted pork but sold out. We were at discount tires next door and figure we go her for a quick bite. The establishment outside is run down but we were surprise to see the inside booths/tables were nicer than the outside. There are live tanks of seafood when you walk in. You need to wait to be seated. Service was good and food came pretty fast. We ordered the general tso chicken lunch special which comes with hot and sour soup. Lunch special is from 11am-3pm Monday-Friday. The general tso chicken is salty and was not well balance. The chicken was dry. It was lightly battered and fried. The sauce was one note. The stir fried flat noodles N12 combination was under seasoned and needed more soy sauce. The squid was not seasoned at all. The shrimp was imported shrimp and was not good. There were still poop lines in the shrimp. You didn't get any smokiness from the soy sauce at all. Do I recommend this place? This place was a staple in atx but with my Overall experience with the food quality I cannot recommend this place. We have had the roasted pork before and it was ok. Not the best we ever had but meh. Where we were seated we can hear the cooks yelling at each other in the kitchen. There are other restaurants in Austin that are way better. read more

Needing a fresh start to Chinese New Year we turned to Ho Ho to lift our spirits. Located right off of I-35, Ho Ho is tucked away into a shopping center but should really be more accessible because this place makes some good Cantonese style Chinese food. We ordered for pickup and they had the food ready fast and pickup itself was a breeze. The price felt very fair for the amount of food that we got, which is nice to see as many Chinese places now seem to be getting much pricier. After a short drive back we were very excited to dig in. Here's what we got for our New Year feast: Steamed pork dumplings - some big dumplings, packed with filling and not too bad on flavor Salt and pepper pork chop - very good. Salty flavor and good spice from the peppers Singaporean noodles w/ chicken - phenomenal, deep flavor and texture. Best dish out of all Beef chow fun - wet style chow fun is very good, beef was perfectly tender and flavorful Plain lo mein - simple but tasty, executed perfectly with good noodle texture Ho Ho excels at Cantonese style food, maybe better than any other place in Austin. This trip knocked us out of the park and we can't wait for our next excuse to come here. They do offer dine in as well and have a pretty large inside area so maybe we'll sit down formally next time. Either way, convenient, good value and good food as well makes this a standout choice for Chinese food in the North Austin area. read more

Overall good dinner with great services. read more

Ho Ho has some of the best Chinese barbecue in the city! I love their roast pork belly; it's always perfectly crispy and juicy. Their menu is massive so you never run out of new things to try; however, I like to order the same things. Their menu beef flat noodle with Chinese vegetables is always a hit. I've noticed they've started putting less beef in the dish. That's a bummer but the flavor is still delish. Underrated dish is the eggplant and shredded pork! So flavorful and I don't even like eggplant! They can often get slammed so service can bit hard to come by. The servers are running from table to table. Otherwise great spot for family dinner! read more

Unapologetically old school, you can expect the same classic dishes and ambiance you remember from the 90s, 00s, and 10s. It's always an absolute mob scene on Christmas with all us displaced Millennials trying to relive the holiday traditions of our youths. On any given day, you'll find roast ducks hanging in the entry way, tanks full of live lobsters, and servers plowing through the dining room with an efficient gruffness. It always seems dark inside, no matter the time of day. Food comes flying out of the kitchen fast and fresh. There's a solid number of vegan options in the vegetable section, such as the Fried Tofu with "Special" Salt, which is good if not great. I wish it was fried crispier and seasoned for a spicier finish, but adding the chili oil provided on the table goes a long way. The Black Fungus, Bamboo, and Snow Peas is a highly tasty way to get your veggies in, all of it stir-fried to a tender-crisp finish in a savory garlic sauce. If not exceptional, it's absolutely a solid choice. It's comfortingly familiar and delivers on exactly what they promise. read more

I ordered from here off DoorDash and everything was so good. I got the roast pork belly and the bbq pork fried rice. The pork was so juicy and also crispy on the edges, and the fried rice had such a great flavor and chew. I also loved their bbq pork. There was so much fried rice, the amount of food you get for the price is totally worth it. read more

This was our first time here and on Christmas Day none the less. Staff was working hard to make sure everyone was served quickly and with complete control. The food was amazing. I couldn't wait to eat as obvious from the lack of pictures. Everything was delicious. We will be eating here more often! read more

Food was magnificent. Large portions. Gotta try the duck, BBQ pork and marinated chicken combo. It's enough for 2 people and a doggie bag. Food was quick to be served. Combo fried rice had everything I needed in it. Waiter and staff were friendly and greeted upon arrival. Was somewhat bothered because whatever they mopped the floor with made it slippery or greasy and I had to be cautious walking to the table and back and forth to the bathroom. read more

Not only are they over priced but you can't get fried rice with your meals , it's a pathetic!! Also , if you want a cup of soup, they don't have it . You have to buy a bowl . Service is terrible & rude !! read more

The first time eating here was during COVID and they had the takeout service down pat! The BBQ pork was excellent too back then. This time we had the orange chicken and beef flat noodle dish which were very good! The chicken was breast meat which I appreciate. The roast duck was overcooked and it seemed like the feathers weren't plucked well. We accidentally ordered the roast pork instead of the BBQ pork so I was disappointed but that was our ordering mistake. The egg roll, dumplings, and fried rice were bland. The filling in the egg rolls was literally only cabbage. Overall, we were disappointed in the meal but the Chinese itch we get every once in awhile was still scratched. read more

I thought that the roast duck and the char sir pork was pretty good. I didn't enjoy the crispy pork chop and beef with chinese broccoli that much but it wasnt bad. Overall I thought it was pretty good, great for friends and family. You do a family style dinner and the food comes out pretty fast. The workers are nice as well and there is plenty of seating. read more

Ho Ho Chinese BBQ - Shrimp with Special Salt and Back Pepper - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I LOVED my experience. The sesame beef was 10/10. Dare I say it was was cooked to perfection (meat wasn't dry and the breading was perfectly crispy). The sauce was delicious as well. I even ordered a side of it to-go! I also got the BBQ pork with egg. The pork was very good. Next time, I'm just going to get the BBQ pork plate without the egg. Last but not least, I got the vegetable delight. Could have been seasoned a bit more but the veggies tasted nice and fresh. I particularly loved the mushrooms. Two honorable mentions: First, our waiter! He was super nice and helpful. I wish I remembered his name! Second, some dishes come with unlimited white rice. As a rice lover, I really appreciated that. I 100% recommend coming here! read more

Worst chow fun I ever had yet MOST expensive I have ever had. Mushy and soupy. Why?! "Egg roll" was really an empty spring roll. Don't order it. Only thing good and authentic is the wonton soup but not worth $20. Wow I miss nyc and getting $5 wonton soup down the street and good dumplings too. This is way too expensive. read more

The $10 lunch special at hoho is too legit to quit. Service is as expected for a chinese restaurant. But you're not here to be wine and dined. you're here because the food is good, the service is fast and the price is right . Is the restaurant clean? maybe Do they have a cloudy fish tank with too many fish? yes are there an assortment of hanging meats when you walk in? yes But this is all to be expected when going to a legit chinese restaurant and if you're in the area, you should go too! read more

It is okay, if no other choices.... Floor could be cleaner, staff could be a bit more professional. Their ginger and green onion chicken (cold dis) is amazing though. read more

First time trying this place on Christmas Eve and they really impressed me. I have to applaud the staff for clearly hustling on such a busy, hectic holiday. They were overridden with customers picking up, dining in, placing orders in person, online and over the phone - but still managed to stay calm, professional, and efficient. From placing my order online to pickup it was only about 40 min. It was a zoo in there but I never saw the staff stop moving The Beijing duck was my favorite dish and would order again! The rock chicken was also good but some people might be turned off by the bone-in chicken and claw. read more

I am glad to learn that there is a new Chinese restaurant called Golden Palace Seafood & Dim Sum closed to the same area - 10901 N Lamar Blvd. Go there to take a look of all those tanks with the crabs and lobsters. And then you can compare the tanks there with this Ho Ho Chinese BBQ. I will never ever eat at Ho Ho Chinese BBQ again. I feel sorry for the crabs living in the filthy tank at Ho Ho Chinese BBQ. Someone should report to animal abuse for this kind of dirty water tank. Just imagine how clean the kitchen can be! read more

We tried this location on a whim while dropping someone off nearby to get their car serviced. The prices are more reasonable than alot of other Chinese options in Austin, but the quality is not. The building is older, as evidenced when you walk in. They still have old signs hanging up and wallpaper coming off the walls. The food wasn't very good but it was plentiful. The staff was friendly and helpful, even after seeing us be. A little apprehensive about trying it. Right when you walk in they have food on display, like roasted duck (which was recommended by staff). I could see why this place is well liked if you enjoy this type of food, but it's not for me and I'm unable to recommend it at this time. read more

I am thrilled I stumbled upon Ho Ho Chinese! I met my friend here to try the Peking Duck and the fried garlic Dungeness crab.

This place isn't fancy but it was packed which speaks volumes! read more

Hands-down, the very best Chinese food in the Austin area. I love their soups, especially the crab and asparagus soup. Their appetizers are terrific. We usually get a couple of egg rolls and crab Rangoon. Then my wife gets orange chicken that is just to die for. Make sure you check out the snow pea leaves. It doesn't sound like that would be very good, but they are freaking terrific. read more

I've eaten here before, it was okay, but every time I go to Discount Tires next door I drive through the back of this restaurant and am reminded why I shouldn't eat there again. The potholes back there are enormous! It looks like the place was bombed. How hard is it to make the place look respectable? If that's what the back of the restaurant looks like I'm scared to eat anything out of that kitchen. Crazy! Go look. read more

Favorite chinese in austin. Everything our table had was wonderful, would and will eat there again.

Hoho. 好好It means "Good good" in Cantonese but whether the food is good or not-that's debatable. The Chinese style pork chop does not have enough meat-it reminds me of fake meat vegans would eat. The oyster tofu bowl was (ok, I don't like tofu BUT everything was super salty. All you could taste was the sauce). The duck has too much fat on it and is icky. Not to mention, there was a pesky mosquito flying around the food. And some kind of ant crawling on my bowl that I did not use. It does come with rice, and the rice was ok. My parents come here every time they visit because Chinese parents must eat Chinese food...even tho this place isn't good!! My parents also agree that this visit wasn't good. Take it with a grain of salt...or a mosquito but it's not a place for good food. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant you will find in Austin. This place beats places in San Antonio and some Houston places. Hot pots, noodles, fish, beef, chicken, pork, and vegetables.... You name it, they have something tasty!! Our last visit, we get roast pork, bbq pork, duck, sweet and sour pork, bass with Chinese vegetables, ma po tofu, Chinese broccoli, and chicken fried rice. Pay in cash, let them know ahead of time and you'll thank me later! See you at Ho Ho's! read more

First time here, we were undecided where to have for dinner and we ended up here, we had a pleasant time, our waitress was very welcoming and helpful so 10/10 for the services and food was delicious, every single dish was very tasty, the only down side is the place is a little dated and need some love a tidy up won't hurt and a small facelift would do, over all can't complain we're definitely coming back. read more

Let's start with the good and move on to the "room for improvement" category later. For starters, the service was incredibly fast and the food came out in record time while being piping hot. The Szechuan Beef was an available lunch special and i paired it with fried rice and wonton soup. The food was good, very low prices, and the portions were massive (see photo of fried rice). The star of the show for me was the dumplings in the wonton soup. If you are going with soup, I would order this with confidence. The rice was OK. Rather plain, but it is just egg fried rice. The Szechuan option was delicious. Plenty of veggies and the sauce had some nice heat to it. Now for the room for improvement category. The restaurant sold live fish, and you could definitely smell it. If you are going to sell live seafood, this is an unavoidable consequence, but I am personally not a fan of it. The cleanliness was absolutely acceptable I wouldn't call it immaculate, but I was sliding around on the freshly mopped floors, so you know they stay on top of it. The restaurant is certainly dated, but you're coming there to eat the food, not admire the furniture or fresh paint. All in all, I will not be rushing back to eat here again. However, I would still come here again and have a good meal for a fantastic price. read more

We went here for a weekday birthday lunch at noon. Surprisingly it was not busy. The booth tables were not roomy enough for multiple plates. We had the wonderful ton noodle soup, sautéed vegetables with snow peas, mushrooms and bok choy with the garlic white sauce instead of brown, the combo plate with bbq pork and roast duck and ordered the buns for the duck since the combo included rice, and someone else ordered the bbq pork. My apologies for no photos, when you're with a group, sometimes there's too many distractions but wanted to provide my review since this was my first time. The first impression of walking in was nothing to brag on. No greeting, the couple that walked in after me were seated first, which I thought was rude but got sat 5 minutes later. There is no ambiance so don't expect anything fancy but it seems like the food is better than most Chinese restaurants around, driving 20 miles from my location. We started with the crab rangoons that were a good size and very generously stuffed with cream cheese filling, and the fried pork/shrimp won ton that was crisp and delicious. There are not many steamed options, mostly fried. The duck and pork combo were moist and very tasty so I'd stick with their specialties. The won ton noodle soup was ok, with the broth and won tons being flavorful. I did not try the stir fried vegetables but it looked good and cooked perfectly. If it weren't so far, I may consider returning to have their seafood options. Our waitstaff seemed friendly, but not overly friendly. I'd definitely give them another try. read more
