Ho Wah Restaurant Brooklyn Reviews
This food from place is absolutely solid, the people are friendly & respectful as long as you are. No thrills, no debit/credit but atm on sight. Order your food & be on your way or Delivery, always hits the spot! {It's a little on the pricier side but that is due to inflation & probably because of a landlord raising the rent due to the nature of Bed-Stuy's gentrification affect on local economics}
This place is great. I ordered some hot and sour soup and chicken with broccoli. Both items were fresh and delicious. The woman working there was so sweet and hardworking. This place is 5 star, real soul. Pro tip: bring cash because it is cash only. They also have an ATM onsite.
Reliable Chinese takeout. We always order here on game nights. The lady who takes the orders seems really hard working and they pack the beef chow mei fun. The standout for us is the scallion pancake. Fried really nicely so the outside is crunchy but the inside is still chewy and soft

Such kind owners. So thankful I found them on my journey yo find for black vinegar!
Wondering service! Takeout was great and food was truly appetizing. I highly recommend this place =)
Great spot! Great food! Great service!
It's just good takeout. I can't recommend the dumplings as they were really wet (?) but everything else on the menu was really good. If you order pickup expect to wait a minute but the wait is worth it. I really enjoyed the seafood fry and I think that the overall experience was really good. Just practice a little patience and the result will be good!
Chinese Vegetables Stir Fry with Tofu. Just get it. It’s delicious and nutritious. My take is that food prepared by Ho Wah has the least sodium of all the other Chinese take out venues I have come across. I do not need to sink a glass of water after eating food prepared by Ho Wah. That good. Enjoy!
I’ve eaten from here since I was too young to cross the streets by myself. Even with the demographic changes to the neighborhood that usually would have other restaurants “water down” their ingredients, they have stayed true to their recipes and I’m thankful for that.
Been going there for years. Love the wings, jumbo shrimp in garlic sauce, Broccoli in Garlic sauce and House Fried Rice. Would highly recommend it

Always friendly service. Good chicken wings, vegetable dishes,, and roast duck.
This place is pretty good (probably the best in the area for cheap Chinese food).
Very tasty food. Will highly recommend them to anyone. Tried others in neighborhood but this is by far the best corner Chinese around. Just no deliveries is a bummer.
The Chinese food is good but it's nothing special about the place to me In the waiting area where people are waiting for their food needs to be NEAT More clean

It’s completely serviceable American Chinese. Nothing is a standout or memorable in the positive or negative way. The people who work there work very hard and are very friendly. It’s cash only but no ATM. You wait in a pretty bleak small space to get your food. No regrets. No memories. It’s fine.
THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!! i do not recommend the wonton soup.everything else pretty good. they SERVE A LOT OF FOOOOOOOOOOD!

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and the quality of food has deteriorated drastically while the cost has risen. I no longer recommend this spot unless you’re starving and don’t wish to go far if you live close to this location.
I tried the food many years ago I ordered the fried chicken wings and it was good the environment that this Chinese place is in is not safe so I don't feel it's worth me ever going again

Horrible food quality . I ordered chicken wings that came out to be pink in the inside . I wouldn’t even feed this to my dog.

Terrible. We ordered take out for 12. The beef and vegetables were bland, mushy and overcooked (beef was grey). The moo shu was equally bland (thank god for extra plum sauce) and the pancakes were old and stiff. The potstickers were cakey and undercooked. The lo mein was tasteless, lacked any substantive additions of the chicken or vegetables we ordered and looked like they used vermicelli noodles not lo mein noodles. With the exception of the white rice and egg rolls - we ended up throwing out the majority of the food. It’s difficult to understand how this restaurant could garner 4 & 5 star ratings for its food. There was truly nothing flattering that can be said of their cuisine which is unfortunate.
