Ho Ho Choy Chinese Restaurant

I stumbled across this restaurant and enjoyed our meal!! Everything came out pretty fast and it was all very tasty!! Recommend!! 10/10 *Shrimp dumplings *spicy beef tripe *chive pancake *pork rice paste * pork and century egg congee.

The place has a friendly atmosphere. It was my first time there and I wasn't a fan of the shrimp lo mein. It was a bit dry and the noodles were a little too chewy for my satisfaction. The egg rolls were delicious tho.

Operating for 30 years with NO social media !!! Should tell you all you need to know. Amazing food. No it’s not a fancy or spruced up Asian fusion place.. it’s old school and refreshing because the flavor is out of this world. Best dim sum are the little hole in the wall places and this one is it!! My whole meal was under $40 and check out all I got!

Service is terrible! I sensed racism! I asked to add an item to my order and asked a question about payment because I wanted to be clear since I was using a company card. The lady in the front went completely crazy on me and even began yelling. I immediately requested a refund! I don’t play about eating food from ppl like that because it’s no telling what she’ll do to it. Also, inside the restaurant smelled like sewage a bit. I’m gonna be calling the health department tomorrow!

I have a long and storied history with Ho Ho Choy's starting in the early 90's and my introduction to Dim Sum. It would be many years before anybody in Tampa produced the quality, variety and authenticity of the food they carry. I bought a live 2 lb lobster today at the market on Fowler and brought it to Ho Ho's for one of my favorite dishes, Lobster in Spicy Black Bean Sauce on a bed of Pan Fried Noodles. To die for!! I've done the same with live Dungeness Crab, usually in a Ginger Garlic Sauce. This is the only place I know that will cook live crabs or lobster that you bring in from the market. Nothing like handing someone a live lobster and in 10 minutes it's on your table! They originated on Dale Mabry in the Kmart Plaza next to a bar and a theatre. All long gone by now. There is where I discovered Dim Sum and they still have some of the best out there. It was not till 5-10 years ago that other places finally caught up in variety and quality. 18 years ago, after 16 years on Dale Mabry, Ho Ho's moved to their current location on Fletcher. The chinese food here is better than most, they offer a huge variety of meals cooked in authentic style. Much better than your corner china food store. They also carry a standard assortment of americanized dishes we are all used to. Food is super good, the flavors are authentic and I highly recommend you try it. Little secret, ask about seasonal vegetables, many times they are not on the menu, photo below.
