They have good food and the service is great.
Food is always hot and fresh but the lady at the counter needs some people skills.
Ive Been raised in the howards seafood store next door always come by there and get a bite to eat good staff an food
I love this place been going here since 1975 and the food is still delish...
I call in orders all the time, they are always hot and ready when I pick them up.
My FAV! I always get the beef and broccoli and it's always on point. They know me when I walk in the door which is awesome. Very friendly and great customer. Absolutely recommend this place.
House chow mein and fried rice was great, will return to try more dishes.
Fresh, Hot, well seasoned, not just Blaa. Onions, soy sauce, etc. No problem receiving additional soy sauce, and duck sauce. Friendly, Fast Service.
I stopped by there last week to get me something to eat I found the atmosphere very pleasant the restaurant was very clean they was very courteous and patient I would be visiting again in the future
My fried chicken wings and shrimp fried rice was on point. I called the order in and it was hot and ready when I picked it up. Great service.
The Food was GREAT...as usual. But they have boarded up the Dinning room. It looks so funny not to see it anymore or to be able to sit and eat inside. COVID has messed us up.
Great food especially at night. Got the teriyaki chicken and BBQ spare ribs with pork fried rice tasted really good.
Their general tso chicken, and house fried rice was amazing, we will definitely be going back. Keep up the good work guys!
I love this place the food is excellent service is always been good just hate they are closed when we arrive to Florida from South Carolina but we catch them the next day
I had never been here before. Recommended by my son. I loved it!! 😍 The shrimp fried rice was so good! Had a great flavor. The orange chicken was so good! Also, the pork lo meant was so tasty! Will definitely be back. I think it is best to call in your order. Easy to just pick it up. Please try it when you have a taste for Chinese food!
This is by far the best Chinese cuisine in Jacksonville. They have been open for over 25 years and their food still taste the same. They also practice social distancing. When you call and order, it only takes 10 minutes to get your food. You’ll thank me later
This is truly one of my best Chinese restaurants this was my first time visiting and I'll order beef with vegetables with pork fried rice or I ordered chicken and rice soup and broccoli cook soft. When I tell you it was so good I was shocked I really truly was shocked because I thought it was going to be a bad experience because the cashier had a stink attitude and I was trying to hold my peace but you know I had said wait trying food and if it's awful I was going to go back and tell her some words about her attitude and the food but because the food was good to me I got to be nice. Now my friend ordered honey chicken and she said it was real hard but I have learned a lot of times when I go and order food from Chinese restaurants some stuff you just can't order like honey chicken or sesame seed chicken and stuff that they supposed to fry up and stuff and then put sauce on it I can't I can't eat that cuz they going to have it hard and that's a lot of the Chinese places that I've been to that will do that so I would recommend this place I'm going to go one more time just to make sure I wasn't just hungry I was dreaming so I got to check them out one more time and if they good again then they going to be my permanent stop. Let me know how your experiences is.
Normally, would be packed, but safety precautions required them to change things! They take their customers safety and wellness very serious! Sanitation, and safety go hand in with them! They are still very good at what they do! Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Eating there makes a hungry man sleep like a baby! Hopefully, when this thing is over, I'll be able to eat in again!
This place was a Christmas miracle. We stayed in Jacksonville on Christmas day and most everything was closed. We remembered Chinese restaurants were open and tried Ho Ho. Not the best part of town but the food was absolutely amazing. We had House Lo Mein, pork fried rice, and boneless spare ribs among other things. Everything was so delicious which was a very welcome treat after driving all night. We've already discussed making Ho Ho a part of our normal plans when visiting Jax.
Always an excellent choice when it comes to hot fresh Chinese food. Restroom is clean establishment is also clean, wait time is minimal. May not be a bad idea to call in and place your order. Food is delicious!
My food always fresh always ready if I call
We ordered from here just now, 1st time customers solely from the reviews and we're not disappointed in the least. We've tried so many chinese food places and this was the best by far. The general tso's chicken and sweet and sour chicken are fantastic! The fried rice actually has flavor. This is our new go-to chinese place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT
I ordered large shrimp fried rice. The service was quick and the food was hot and extremely fresh!!!
Listen, I really LOVE finding little hole in the walls like this one. It's charming, the staff is very sweet, friendly and helpful. (and pretty). Website needs updating, but the food was delicious, hot, and ready the moment we got there. I love efficiency. Will definitely be going back in the future!
Shrimp fried rice was the bomb n the teriyaki chicken with onion broccoli n carrots with sauce was delicious first time ordering through door dash 😋😋😋
The food here don't make you feel like you can do a better job at home. The food was worth it
I love this place ….nice people 💕 food is very good
I have been going there since the 80s-Always hot & fresh & delicious! Best of its type! The woman is not purposely rude - she is constantly treated rudely and made fun of. Have you tried being nice to her & getting to know her. And stop mimicking the way she talks - how would you like it if…Be kind & patient!
Called in an order and still had to wait once I got there for them to make the food. At least it was fresh
Their food is good I like that they add vegetables to their lomein noodles and their fried rice especially bean sprouts it adds that flavor I like so much.
Good cuisine fried rice to perfection especially for a small business definitely worth coming back for more
Quiet spot, great food, fast service. Not the fanciest but definitely a hunger and thirst quencher if you're craving some Chinese food.
The lady with the glasses always got and attitude the food good though just her customers service sucks
The food here is usually very good. There are also times when it exceptional!
House fried rice was good, spring rolls were great, wonton soup was excellent, egg roll was ok. Store was clean inside and employees were nice. Price was reasonable. Will go again.
I get the exact same thing EVERY time, house special lo mein and shrimp fried rice. I'm also quite partial to their cheese egg rolls and pepper steak. I frequent this place
The food is great but customer service is not the lady that takes your order is so inpatient and rushes you to order burns me up
Very good fresh food! from the outside the building looks little scary but the inside is clean and the food is good! i had honey chicken w/fried rice and beef&brocolli with lo mein.
Great food, fast service. I've been eating here for years since I was young. Same good quality!
The food is great but the customer service is HORRIBLE! The lady taking orders is very RUDE!!
Customer service not up to par.does not respond to the customers appropriately yell as tho they don't want your business just your money. Food is ok.just the front is crazy 😦
Inexpensive cousins. Best fried rice in town.Prepared with choice of meats with bean sprouts,scallions and onions. Specials come with shrimp fried rice. This is the only Chinese restaurant I know who serves shrimp rice as a side.Good prices and large portions.Never had anything here that was not good.
Usually a pretty good experience. This time not so smooth. Ordered Shrimp Chow mein with two egg rolls and white rice. Not usual front desk person. Repeated Shrimp chow mein five times as she was questioning if I knew what it is!!! Got order. Like a dummy I did NOT check it. Got home and it was CHICKEN!!! I RARELY EAT chicken and never have from there. Went back up, she tried to argue but replaced it. Told her to please add some extra rice. She wanted to charge me for it. I said OK and you can pay for my gas. 😀 Got my food and it was good and correct! Won't forget to check again.
They move and talk fast.
Food taste good I just need a bit more portions of rice but other than that it's good clean place
Fast and yummy. We stopped in while waiting to get our brakes done. We haven't had good luck with chinese places lately but,this place was fresh and hot and yummy. Good fried rice,too. Nice cashier.
Hip Hop Chicken is one of the best restaurants in the Jacksonville area. I only visit the establishment located on Main Street. I've never been disappointed with the food taste, the price point, quality, amount, or the service. I took away one star because they ran out of chicken, (once) a few days before Christmas. I kinda forgive that mishap considering they are usually right on point across the ENTIRE board. Compared to the other restaurants in the hood,this place is MOST DEFINITELY ACES!! The people that work there are much more efficient and pleasant than we've become accustomed to from the other restaurant's in that area of town. Kuddos !!!
Although the food is good the lady who took my order is very rude, another lady and myself both complain, we can take our business somewhere else
The food is great but they are rude. They don’t greet you and they always have a attitude.
The food is OK nothing high levels, better food in another's places
The food was really good but im not sure if what we were eating was actually chicken... A horrible digestion process... I eat Chinese all the time and have never had this issue
I’m torn to give this rating because the food was very tasty ( honey chicken and chicken fried rice) however there was confusion with my order and the woman with glasses was very short and rude with me when I tried to clarify what my order should be. I work in customer service and we all have bad days. Hopefully she has more good ones.
The food was okay. I wouldn't rush back a second time. 😒
The food was bland. The cashier was nice and patient. There was an open container of food that appeared to be being eaten right behind the cashier. That is a health hazard.
WHEN I SAY FRY MY WINGS HARD I MEAN IT , I came in 2 days ago 9/8/25 as a first timer and my wings was soggy as hell when I got home because they buy the cheap styrofoam trays without the holes in them to release the steam. GETCHA $$$ UP and buy better trays and fry my wings hard and yall so cheap my fried rice had no pea's , egg , or carrot !!! GREAT PRICES
They have a very rude lady at the front counter. She is always rude..always mad. Three generations in my family have eaten here and the new management is not up to par.
We were in town for a concert and needed to grab something quick for dinner. Google had 4.4 stars for this place, so we drove to it. This place is in a bad section of Jacksonville. It had bars on the doors and windows, which shluld have been outr first clue. Inside was run down, old, and falling apart. The bathroom walk way and bathroom itself was scary. For all of that I will say it was decently clean inside. The food was hot, fast, reasonable and ok. Best part was while were there the head lady incharge got some phone call and she was screaming at him at the front counter. Who does that infront of restaurant guests? Go outside or out back. She kept saying to the caller, stop calling, I have your name, I have your number, I call police. After she hung up, she looked at us still in a high upset voice and thick accent and tried to tell us about the phone call. We just smiled politely, grabbed our things, clear our table and left. We didnt care to stick around to see if the person on the other end of the line decided to show up. We definitely wont go back.
Food is not the same workers are not friendly they dont appreciated people business. Most of the time if you order food you have to bring it back. I think this place under new management.
Last few visits have not been good. Food over cooked, not fresh in quality. Waited too long for the food to be prepared. Not what it used to be.
All the meat looks the same which does not look like chicken. My bourbon chicken looked like riblets. Couldnt eat it so got a delicious broccoli and rice tray.
The fried rice was good but the chicken wings didn't taste good and were a little cooked. They're usually pretty good but I guess the Saturday night rush had them cutting corners
Good Chinese food, reasonably priced. Clean restaurant including the bathroom. Update: 9/9/2020 Food was fine but the customer service was lacking today. Went here for lunch and the cashier was really nasty with the customers. She was rude argumentative and unfriendly. Won't go here again.
Very very very very very poor customer service.. very very rude.. no hello, no thank u, and no smile at all... seems as if they hate u. But want your money..
Chinese Lady With The Glasses Mouth Is Very Smart Today Was My First Time Trying Their Food And She Ain’t Make Me Feel Welcome Not NaN Time Like I’m Spending My Money With Y’all Baby Need To Work On Her Work Character Before Someone Snaps On Her Lil Self !
Okay this is why I don't like this place..the food is great..but that 1 cashier..she is going to catch a beat down..not from me..but I guarantee.. from someone..other then that .. food is great
This was the nastiest shrimp fried rice and chicken wings I ever had. Nothing was fresh. Was Served old food
The lady who take your order has thee worst attitude Everytime. The food is nasty! I do not recommend.
I had the barbecue spare ribs and shrimp with lobster sauce and fried rice. I had not been there in more than 20 years and I will not go back.
Just saw this place on news 4 jax restaurant report, It was shut down and 134 rodent droppings where found ewwwww to top it off the customer service is not great that lady has no customer service skills, I'd rather go to Golden Egg Roll they are way more friendly and make u feel welcomed
No tofu in my food at all!! I ordered veggies and tofu! Not sure how they got it wrong
I used to love to come here but now I wouldn't spend a half a penny in this place with that nasty short four eyed Woman they have taking orders. she does not know how to speak to the customers, she's rude and disgusting they need to get rid of her or put her in the back somewhere! better yet get rid of her because she looks like she'd spit in your food
I used to love eating house fried rice from here. It's not loaded with meat anymore. I travel from middleburg for this disappointment 😞 twice no more. The ladies are not friendly and never smile they really show that they hate the customers really need to hire new help family or not.
NO REFUND/NO EXCHANGES new rule. WHY, cause the food taste nasty. The taste of the food has changed. The rice isn't as good as it looked before and the taste is old. My rice use to taste fresh fresh fresh and very hot. Hot food hot food, I would say. Not anymore. Last ordered a pu pu platter the the meats and rolls and wontons were hard and old. Honey chicken was breaded bites of no chicken. Teriyaki chicken had peppers and it was hard not soft. I'm done eating here. Hopefully it gets better for the next person. I'm good.
Long ago Ho Ho was a good place for decent Chinese food, but now awful. You get large chucks of vegetables, hardly no meat. And it had no taste. My order was not complete. You would think you could keep more customers if you served decent food. Then I found out their rating was not good. Goodbye.
Staff is rude. They need to learn some manners. Trying to rush people in front of other customers.
I specifically asked for no vegetables or onion. Ordered by phone repeated my request and alerted the associate I was sending my credit card with my son. He checked the food immediately seeing onion asked for correction and cashier swiped my card and refused quality service because he was a minor. No respect for taking advantage of a child. You would never do that to an adult. Show better morals to black children they are our future. And aware of your tasteless behavior
Ho-Ho Restaurant is a "No Go" for me. The food is ok,but the very toxic woman who takes orders & runs the cash register is a deal breaker. She looks down her nose at everyone who comes in! Treats her customers like they are trash! (Have observed this behavior on 3 separate occations.) Who needs that? Go down the street to "The Golden Eggroll",where they food is fabulous & everyone there is super nice. Every. Single. Time!
Had shrimp and broccoli no seasoning just bland and oily very oily.......fried rice was OK.
Mannnnnn this food so nasty. I ordered thru DoorDash and I couldn’t understand my plate. I ordered honey chicken wings and got something else chopped up meat that was oily with no taste no bone like the picture. Then my fried garlic wings were soggy and oily no taste but the rice was good and the egg drop soup but I wouldn’t go here ever again. You can almost tell there’s not Chinese people cooking this food.
I used to go here 2008 to 2014.... It was my favorite place to be.... BUT TODAY..... SO DISGUSTING.... I'VE NEVER SEEN"RED" TERIYAKI CHICKEN 😖🤢🤮🤮🤮 I CALLED AND SHE SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RED??? HOW WHEN TERIYAKI SAUCE IS NOT RED???? NEW STAFF.... NEVER EVER GOING BACK😡😡😡 ewwwww
