Hop Bo is hands down the #1 Chinese restaurant in town--no question about it. The quality of the food really stands out. You can taste how fresh the ingredients are in every dish, and everything is consistently flavorful and well-prepared. What makes this place even more special is the chef's experience. With over 20 years of professional cooking under their belt, it really shows in the attention to detail and authenticity of the flavors. Every dish feels thoughtfully made, not rushed or generic like many other takeout spots. If you're looking for reliable, delicious, and authentic Chinese food, Hop Bo is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

Well, the online pictures were a bit deceiving. We thought it was a formal sit down restaurant. But it's your typical strip mall shop. The staff was very nice and friendly, the food was good, and decently clean tables. But these are just quick sit lunch type tables and they serve all their food from plastic containers, even dine in. That's the part that the online pics don't depict correctly. Good for a lunch, but not for a sit down dinner, imo. For $14 dinners, I want a plate while dining in. PS all sauces offered in the generic to go packs...no fresh soy, no home made hot mustard or duck sauce. All corporate packed generic sauces. read more

Well, I walked into this restaurant, with zero expectations. I was pleasantly surprised and appreciated the fact that I was able to get a decent parking space without having to trek across traffic in a very busy shopping plaza. Walking into this restaurant, it seemed nothing special, and appeared to be the typical Chinese takeout spot. In reality, I really wanted to see if this Hop Bo Chinese restaurant was any better than the Hop Bo Chinese restaurant in Palm Bay, which is decent, and I understand they are not affiliated. Where this restaurant shines is the food itself. Oh boy, I am elated to tell you that I was very impressed with their food quality. Because this menu item is a good judge of food quality, I ordered the Hunan pork, with fried rice. I received my order once I arrived, and took it home to Palm Bay. This food was amazing. Big chunks of delicious vegetables, large pieces of roast pork, in a delicious savory, umami filled sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking of it today. I had to give it five out of five stars. Whatever they are doing, they need to keep doing it. I will definitely return, and I may try something new, along with my Hunan pork or chicken. I do not want to comment on the appearance or cleanliness of the restaurant because I did not spend enough time inside to accurately form a objective opinion. Let's just say it looked like a typical Chinese takeout spot. read more

So I tried this place. Food really didn't have authentic flavor. I asked for triple spice. They couldn't bring the heat either.

Very good food and quality.Price is very reasonable. Workers are very friendly , offering good service and welcoming.

The best chinese food locally in Melbourne Brevard county. The food is so authentic and price is very reasonable. I would definitely come back again. I asked why the food is so much better than before, they said it's with a new owner and the chef is from a super reputable restaurant from Orlando. read more

The service is wonderful, the staff are real friendly and hold good conversation! Their friendliness adds a certain type of welcoming ambiance that pulls you in from the jump. And it's all tied together by the fact that their food is very delicious and made fresh it seems! All good things about this place, nice and clean too! read more

Ordering online was easy! I hadn't been there for months because the food quality was terrible! Thought I'd give it another chance but the fried dumplings were not crispy enough and my general chicken was pretty bland! read more

It was shortly before 9pm on a Wednesday. Wife and I were on our way home and we're hungry. We wanted pho, but there weren't any Vietnamese restaurants still open. A Thai restaurant we went to was closing, so we went to HopBo in the same shipping center. Standard Chinese takeout restaurant. Ordered wonton soup, shrimp Egg Foo Yung, and orange beef. To go. Then while we sat I opened Yelp and saw their rating. Oh well. Money spent, hopefully they did better than their 2.8 rating. Got the food home. First course was the soup. Decent enough broth, lots of ok wontons. The crispy noodles that accompanied were pretty stale. If they were in a bowl on the table in a proper restaurant, I wouldn't have eaten them. The orange beef was lacking in both orange and beef. There were large pieces of deep fried batter, but they didn't have any recognizable pieces of beef. The sauce was OK, but there was hardly any sauce on the dish to cover the flavor of the fried batter. And usually there's a bunch of sweet and spicy orange peel pieces in the sauce. I was one tiny, skinny piece of orange peel. Not enough to chew on. There were five broccoli florets in the entire container. The Egg Foo Yung wasnt much better. Deep fried in the same old oil, they were very greasy. The shrimp were small and flavorless. The gravy was acceptable, but it had to be eaten with lots of Chinese mustard. Bottom line is I'm not going back. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was terrible. The chicken was all dark meat, soggy, and rubbery. The crab rangoons were gross. Within an hour of eating, I got sick. Overall, the quality was very poor -- do not eat here. read more

My Chinese friend recommended this restaurant. The food was authentic, healthy and delicious. It did not disappoint.

Since the new owner took over, I am very pleasantly surprised. Not only is the new owner, Emma (I believe her name is) very friendly and gracious, but the food was delicious. I ordered wonton soup, and I loved the fact that the wontons were a little more delicate than the tough ones you usually get. The soup was very good. I also tried the hot and sour soup, and it was also good, nice spice to it. I also had chicken and vegetables, and it had lots of tender chicken and crisp vegetables, which I enjoyed. I also ordered Mongolian beef and was given a very nice portion of tender beef with a spicy velvety sauce. They came with an egg roll and fried rice. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and will be returning here for many of my take-out meals. I give this restaurant a 5 star! I am sure that you will be pleased! read more

Under new ownership that just opened yesterday and it shows. I don't usually post my input , but I was so impressed with the taste at this new restaurant I figured it was a good time. The food was fresh, tasty , and now I'm craving more. Definitely a spot for a quick stop and nice meal! read more

This place has the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. We ordered Beef and Broccoli , General Tsos Chicken, Crab Rangoon , and egg rolls . The beef was tough and full of gristle, broccoli and rice were like mush. The Chicken was flavorless egg rolls were mushy and crab rangoons had a flavor all their own when I called the restaurant they denied sending the order. However the receipt definitely says Hop Bo on Wickham . I ended up throwing it all in the trash right after the money spent read more

I'm writing this review because I feel lied to. I had a craving for chow mein so I looked up the closest Chinese food around my area and saw this restaurant. Even though it had low reviews, I decided to give it a try. I ordered my food online and was told to pick it up in 30 mins. I got there about 40 mins later and they didn't have my food ready to go. That's fine, I waited a bit while they got the other orders out. When I got my food, I should've checked out what I got. But instead, I just took it and left. I got home and opened up the food and realized that there is no chow mein. I called the restaurant and a lady picked up. I told her that there was a mistake because I didn't get a chow mein but instead got something else. She started arguing with me saying that I was the one that ordered wrong, and rudely told me that THERE IS NO NOODLES IN CHOWMEIN. WHAT THE FUCK WORLD ARE YOU LIVING IN? She said that I clearly ordered wrong and if I wanted noodles, I should've ordered "lo mein". She then proceeded to continue to argue with me saying that chow mein doesn't have noodles and that it wasn't noodles. ?!??!?! Ok woman, why don't you look up what chow mein is? Maybe either list it on your online menu CLEARLY that your chow mein doesn't come with noodles to avoid issues? What a joke. I know this review won't matter, but their customer service is really poor. Avoid this place if you want to have chow mein noodles, and not lectured by a rude lady about how chow mein isn't noodles. Good riddance. read more

IKYFL!!! If I wanted partially thaw out what can best be described as freezer burned Walmart veggies and throw in some flavor and it still is bland AF.

I'm good. read more

Hop Bo - Horrible veggie 40. Vegetable Egg Foo Young - Chinese Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Second time here. I've lived in the area, however, for about 4 years. I've seen hop bo several times as I'm getting a few things at thrifty. Second visit here, I flipping love this place. Every single bite was right on all the way to the end. My number one is the pineapple chicken! I love pineapple everything. Ordered it spicy this time around!. Crunchy chicken nuggets coated in a sweet and spicy sticky sauce similar to Gen Tso. I also ordered steamed veg with garlic sauce on the side. That garlic sauce is fire! I use it on everything lol. Let's not forget the egg rolls. Mine were so fresh and crunchy. I was eating outside on the porch at dark so I couldn't really see the contents. I just trust it was veg and it tasted delicious. Also had the four fried wings meal with chicken fried rice. Again, on point everything. I got the honey wings and added their take out hot sauce. I love the hot sauce too pretty much love all of it and the family that owns and runs it are really friendly. Kudos to the chefs! My first visit a few weeks back was not quite as memorable but do remember the egg rolls being the best. I had the moo shoo shrimp and it rocked. Shrimp Fred rice was hard to stop eating lol. I've had nothing bad yet and don't expect I will. read more

By now, many people can call New York Style Chinese food take-out restaurants a dime a dozen as they seem to be everywhere. Ultimately, we can only review them mostly on service and taste as they aren't necessarily built for a dine-in experience. For Hop Bo Chinese, it at least keeps up on average with others. With that in mind, it is simply like any other good New York Style Chinese food take-out restaurant giving only extra brownie points to those who live near it. Located in the same strip mall at the southeast quadrant of the Lake Washington Rd. and Wickham Rd. intersection, the one that also has LA Fitness, Thrifty Produce, and Egg & I, it is on the outside your typical New York Style Chinese take-out place. The interior is generic among other restaurants of its ilk which is neither a benefit or hindrance. The service and food are both good which may or may not be saying much as Hop Bo is on par with other good New York Style Chinese food take-out restaurants. I will just say it is a benefit for those who live near them the most. However, if I am ever near them for any reason and I am hankering for some speedy Chinese food, I know to look forward to them. read more

good quick service, the food is super tasty and consistent, the only Chinese restaurant I've been going to for YEARS!!

Best Chinese take-out in Brevard. Reminds me of NY. I actually used to order from here years ago before moving away, and was pleasantly surprised when I ordered this time and confirmed that they hadn't lost their touch. Went to pick up and the lady who helped us was super thorough, went thru our order and showed us each item. It was a big order , so I appreciated that and she even threw in a free order of krab rangoons for us to try Pork Fried Rice is read more

The employees were so nice. I enjoy the Noodles as well & the Dumblings. The place was so clean and I enjoyed the hospitality. Felt like a Home Kichen. I highly Recomend. read more

I don't know if they changed supply chain or process but I've been disappointed over the last several months. Used to be well seasoned now it is bland. I used to recommend but now I cannot. Going to have to leave Hop Bo and spend more money at Red Ginger or Jade Palace for takeout. read more

Don't bother. I saw people raving about this place on another forum. Growing up in the North I was excited to try this place. I could have broken a window with the over fried shrimp and mended it with the gelatinous sweet/sour sauce. read more

Ordered from here for the first time, the food not so good. The customer service horrible. I ordered wonton soup No Wontons, it came stuffed with wontons, when I called to tell them the lady laughed, said so sorry there is no button for that and I forgot to write it down. Completely dismissive of the fact I paid for one thing and got another because she failed to do her job, now she wants me to drive back to get what I should have in the first place. Horrible customer experience!! read more

Ok, I ordered chicken wings and boneless spare ribs both was spoiled. They smell of ammonia. There is no excuse for that. There is no way that don't know the food is bad. Don't buy here. I wouldn't feed it to my dog read more

This little place offers some pretty decent Chinese fast food. As you place your order at the counter, you can easily watch as your food is being cooked up, which to me is always good. The place is always clean; friendly customer service. For what it is, it's pretty good stuff; inexpensive and quick. Great for take-out or call ahead and pick up! read more

Hop Bo - Chinese Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

There are three types of Chinese restaurants in this area: the classic sit-down restaurant, the buffet restaurant and the take-out place. Hop Bo falls into the last category and they do take-out well. The one major plus for take-out is that you know the food is freshly made and hot - something that isn't always a given at buffet style places. The food is a bit generic - certainly there is nothing that stands out. It's the same basic menu you'd expect of any such Chinese restaurant. I do find the food itself to a bit more flavorful than other take-out places like No. 1 Chinese and a LOT more than Cheng's (Satellite Beach). My normal order is beef with broccoli and I must say that this is one of the few places that does the broccoli justice. Most places I have tried, the broccoli is limp and 'turning' [brown]. Hop Bo, on the other hand, tends to be crisp and green - a definite plus. Another dish they've done right, in my opinion, is General Tso's Chicken. Though Hop Bo isn't the only one that does it the way I like it, they're the only take-out place to do so in that, while there is plenty of sauce, the coating on the chicken remains crunchy and not soggy. The staff is very pleasant and friendly and more than willing to help you out if you are unfamiliar with a dish. There is seating available, but few people actually eat in the store itself. It's really geared more for take out. But if you do sit and eat there, you'll find the decor is very basic and boring. And the only thing on the TV is children's programming - apparently for the little ones that are a constant fixture at this particular place. Pricing is pretty fair and you do get quite a bit for what you pay. I have yet to be disappointed. Usual waits for take out orders are between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on how busy it is. They do not deliver. If you walk-in and place an order, there are plenty of shops nearby that you can visit while waiting, including the Albertson's Supermarket. read more

Ordered on a Sunday. For some reason, the cook maybe, the food tastes totally different depending on day of the week. General Tso's chicken had NO flavor, nothing. I thought that something was wrong with my sense of taste but my husband said the same thing when he tried it. The chicken was also soggy, no crispness at all to the coating. Only good thing was the shrimp toast, but even that was off by being overcooked and small. Cannot deal with the inconsistency so will not return. read more

Hands down the best Chinese food in brevard county! I've been eating here for almost a decade and even had them cater my wedding!

Hands down the worst Chinese food experience ever. They must heat their food in the microwave. Egg roll was so tough I had to gnaw through it. Sesame seed chicken breading was found to be the same. I would give it minus stars if the option was available. read more
