    Combo chow mein
    Rebekah M.

    Went in today after seeing it from another hole in the wall I visit. It was so good. We got chow mein and pork chops. Seasoned great and truly just yummy. Staff were friendly. The only thing I hate is this is a cash only business. I had to go to the shady ATM on the corner.

    I want to really express my sincere gratitude to the people who all work here at this gem of a cafe. The staff is so kind and inviting. The menu options and prices are great!! The food is absolutely delicious and very filling. I totally recommend Ho Ho Kafe. You will not be disappointed, I promise!

    Excited to have made it before close! I got here at 1:40 and they were still so welcoming. It's usually super busy but if you get here a bit after one you catch a good spot with great affordable dishes. I got the hot link plate with eggs and rice and gravy. Got a side of hash browns. Unc got chorizo and eggs plate mom's got chow mein plate three drinks two orders of the best egg rolls ever. All for 55 bucks. Yes. No cap. Real talk. It's the best little diner spot been that way for decades. My grandparents used to bring my mom her bros n sisters when they were little. Be there do that its worth the drive to Chinatown. The landscape ain't the prettiest but that ain't what fills your plate. Good people. Good food. Best prices. Bet.

    Hot link plate

    We came here on a winter weekend morning and the place was packed when we got in. It's not surprising given the very discounted prices that you don't normally see, unless you were back in the early 2000s/2010s. But for the price that you pay, you can get a lot of food here. We ordered veggie fried rice, French toast plate, and an egg plate for about $30 (including tip). Our friend got the hot link plate and thought it was fine. The food is pretty good, though the veggie fried rice was a little bit bland. But everything else was good diner quality. The French toast is a little bit on the eggier side but it's still solid. Everything is very very cheap compared to todays regular diners. Because of the reasonable prices, this place has a consistent stream of people especially on the weekends. Highly recommend this place for to-go or dine-in.

    Vegetable chow mein
    Lea W.

    If you want to experience a place where folks gather to share good food and everybody knows everybody else, this is the place. A friend and I were in Fresno attending an event and Ho Ho came up as one of the dining options. It's a 20-minute walk from the downtown area, but I'd recommend driving if you can. It's in a part of town that is in need of TLC but as soon as we walked in we knew we were in a place that was a local favorite. We were greeted warmly and our food was served quickly. It's not fancy but as soon as my food came, I felt transported to afternoons spent at a friend's house after school where her Chinese grandma always fed us with something she threw together out of whatever was in the fridge...and it was always delicious. My veg chow mein was amazing! The dining room is tiny and crowded, and the decor reflects the prior businesses that occupied the area before the restaurant was added on. I'm so glad I came here and patronized a local business and would absolutely come again if my travels bring me back through Fresno.

    Breakfast split. Plenty!

    1/11/25 Getting breakfast for tomorrow . The worker was nice. Vegetable omelet ordered with ham added with hash-browns and pancakes ordered too, The worker recommended the pancakes. I went to pick it up shortly later.. Arrived to pick up. The worker was kind. They weee packed! Must be good! Bar seating, tables and booths. All filled! They only take cash FYI! Paid for it and received with good day wishes! Appreciated! 1/12/24 Happy Sunday everyone! Breakfast split! Half of the omelet wasn't really an omelet by the way it looked. More like a scramble. Still fresh & tasty.Hash browns were good. Probably better to have the same day. Pancake was Great! I can see why they are recommended! Plump and delicious! I'm sure mother will feel the same when she gets up to have her half! Good service & Really Good breakfast! Recommended!

    Combination omelet

    I always get the same thing and it hits every single time! My go to order is the combination omelet, a side of white rice, French toast (not pictured) and a Thai tea. Can never go wrong. Hole in the wall place. Very very good. Friendly people.

    I had heard a lot about this restaurant in downtown fresno. I finally had a day off work to try it for myselfI had heard a lot about this restaurant in downtown fresno. I finally had a day off work to try it for myself. The area is currently under construction on the road but that didn't stop the place from being packed. I knew I had hit a jackpot when I saw some of the construction workers eating and enjoying the food. Not only do they serve breakfast but they also have an extensive lunch menu. The ambience is small,homemade and familiar.The restaurant is quite small but the food and flavor profile packs a punch. I ordered a cup of coffee and was pleasantly surprised at how strong it was. I decided to go with the beef steak and eggs and added onions and peppers along with a side order of pancakes. The food came out fairly quickly and everything was delicious! The pancakes taste to homemade and everything is done on an open air Grill behind the counter. I definitely will come back.

    There's coffee in a big pot on the stove, but I opted for tea.

    Some may glance at the Ho Ho Kafe in Fresno's old Chinatown and think it's just another greasy spoon in a run-down neighborhood and continue driving by. That would have been me except that my good friends invited me there for brunch. It's definitely a throwback to a bygone era and, it turns out, that's a good thing. For example, the staff knows and cares about the patrons. Many are regulars on a first name basis and engage in short, lively conversations. It's a melting pot of people. Secondly, servings are hearty, delicious, and inexpensive. The menu offers the typical American breakfasts-eggs, hash browns, toast and pancakes or Asian fare , such as chow mein with chicken, pork, beef or shrimp or egg rolls. You'll probably get out of there for under $20 a person. Need I remind you that fast food is more AND not as good quality? Plus you can go any day of the week from 7:00-2:00 in casual wear and no makeup. I'm sold on the Ho Ho!

    Just about half the portion of chow mein  we started with.

    Great breakfast place! Ok I have a few tips to make your…read morevisit more enjoyable. 1. Make reservations. This place gets packed for good reason. 2. If you didn't make reservations and ask if being seated outside is faster to get seated. 3. They will ask for a phone number to text you your in the waiting list and when your table is ready. 4. Food comes out fast. Bottomless coffee. 5. Some items you can choose 1 side order or 2 side orders. 6. Look at the menu before going or while waiting (posted here on Yelp) There are so many options and if you're hungry you might be in a hurry to order and miss something you really would have wanted to order. 7. Becareful don't have "Big eyes" these are good size portions my wife and I shared and still couldn't finish. You can get all the normal diner style favorites like eggs, bacon, sausage and a whole plate size pancake or get a Pork Verde breakfast omelette or opt for a burrito. To make a long story longer here's a summary : Make RSVPs, Bottomless decent coffee, look at menu ahead of time, Service is good but they are busy so please be kind, and as always if possible bring a friend to share this with and Enjoy. Blessings and Love Fresno/ Clovis
