Look Ho Ho Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Great service and good quality Chinese food in Halifax!
My go to restaurant for the best Chinese food in Halifax for more than 20 years! Friendly service, whether eating in or choosing their delivery option. Reasonably priced and delicious!
Best food in the city! Delayed for one hour on NYE, which was expected. Been coming here for many years. The staff are likely family. Folks need to realize the stress and pressure of New Years Eve, they are trying their best. I wouldn’t go to any other Chinese restaurant. I drive all the way from Tatamagouche just to get their food!
This was honestly a bit of a surprise! The decor is well lit, and well spaced. There is pretty ample seating as well. The menu overall is fairly large with the standard affair of westernized chinese food. We ordered a hot and sour soup with a combo set. Most of the items were very well priced. The soup and combo we got had large portions! The service was very good, exceptionally quick! Given the menu the food was very well done. The hot and sour soup had a good variety of ingredients granting it a nice flavor, the BBQ pork slices are there in pretty good quantities and the mushrooms really help flavor the soup with extra umami . A minor complaint is that it's a bit thick for what I'm use to in this style of soup. The combo dish was as expected but well done. The chicken dish had a reasonable ratio of chicken vs bean sprout, the chicken ball was excellent a great ratio of batter and chicken with the batter being nice and crispy outside. The fried rice is cool with beef which is different from the normal chicken fried rice but it is good! The egg roll is pretty standard, good crunch but the filling could be better. Overall if you are hungry for some western chinese food at a great price give it a go! Cheers
Best Chinese food in Halifax!! Their food is always very HOT and freshly made. Their combos are great portion sizes at awesome prices. I've tried all their "American Chinese" classics; my favourite is their beef and broccoli. Huge pieces of beef and the broccoli is still crisp. The sweet and sour chicken (chicken balls) is very yummy, the right amount of chicken to batter. My family has been ordering from this place for years and while they have gone through ups and downs in terms of quality, there has been consistently good food from this location for the last 3 years since the change in ownership. Highly recommend Look Ho Ho to anyone looking for delicious, hot, fresh Chinese food for take out or eat in. Make sure to order an extra egg roll! **Review edit as of April 30** - arrived at Look Ho Ho at 8:08pm on April 25 wanting to eat in. The girl working the counter was VERY hesitant to "let" us sit down and tried to insist we order take out. We told her we'd be done long before closing time. We could tell our presence annoyed her and that she was irritated we chose to eat in. We ordered, ate, paid, and were walking out the door at 8:38. 30 minutes all in. Exactly the sort of quick experience I'd expect from Look Ho Ho. But was disappointed with the staff that didn't want to let us eat in even though it was 52 minutes before close.
Had take out from here for the first time last week. The costumer service was amazing and the food was ready very quickly. Very impressed with how clean the restaurant was. Food was high quality, I would definitely go back.
The posts I see people complaining about orders during holidays.....really...they work very hard and never had a problem picking up orders!,, Great food from a Halifax landmark! Another many left
Best Chinese food around! Been eating here since I was a kid and they have the best beef and broccoli! Super friendly staff and always a great experience
