Ho Ho Gourmet

Ho Ho Gourmet is one of the best Chinese restaurants on this side of Saint Paul. They have a buffet which is worth it and great food options. Ambiance 4/5It's a regular regular Chinese spot with great space. Could use an upgrade but I rarely eat in. Could use an upgrade on the bathroom as well. I don't think this place has been updated since I've first visited in the 2000's. Service 3/5Great customer service and never rush you. Always polite. I've never had a bad experience even when they've had unruly customers, they're calm. Customer service is excellent compared to most Chinese food places in my experience. They take their time and don't rush you or aren't abrupt.Unfortunately they're just as stingy with soy sauce like most Chinese places. I have no idea why I order a family size order and they give me 2 soy sauces. How can you be stingy with soy sauce when you have paying customers? Advice: hole the hot mustard and provide adequate soy sauce. I've definitely had an order where it was missing and I was . Now I always check which is unreasonable in my opinion. Food 5/5 Food is great, they've added a little meat to their egg rolls however it still holds nothin to other places which provide shrimp in the egg rolls. Egg rolls are the best in my opinion in addition to Egg Foo Young w/gravy, shrimp fried rice and chicken is extra crispy. Overall 4/5 Food and service is great, ready in 10 minutes tops, but they are super stingy with soy sauce. Let's do better. Still my spot, just be sure to check the soy sauce

Wish I wasn't addicted to their chicken wings for the past 30 years! My parents used to order Ho Ho chicken wings for various social gatherings and I learned to love them. Over the years, their prices have increased so dramatically that we're down to about once a year. When we do order, I prefer to use their online ordering method instead of calling because I sometimes run into communication issues when I order by phone. I would order more often if the prices were reduced. Ambiance has improved / modernized over the last 3 years, but still very casual. Not a date worthy place, but very family friendly with ample seating for large parties. Once in a while, our group of friends would meet up here for their lunch buffet. It's a decent deal at $15 per person, especially when you're on a tight schedule. Pro Tip: splurge for the $1 of extra seasoning for the wings... it's SO worth it for the extra fragrant garlic.

The service is good accompanied by the food such as the ho ho wings, cream cheese wontons, and pot stickers

Fresh, well priced and high quality Chinese food. Been here quite a few times to enjoy their roasted duck and pea tips! Probably my favorite dish on the menu are their pea tips! Go during the week for little to no wait and fast service. Construction is making it a pain to get their so follow the "hudson road" detour signs! I am not aware of a buffet here (I think there was one before the vid) A la carte it is! Enjoy!

Best chicken wings in St. Paul. I haven't tried everything on the menu because it's quite vast but a perfect dinner spot for Chinese cuisine.

We grew up on Ho Ho's friend chicken wings and basically every single plate pictured in this review. It's been over a decade since we lived near this restaurant and we still talk about it frequently. We finally got to stop by while in town. They've renovated, clean, plenty parking, and restrooms available. The service is amazing. You can call ahead to make reservations, you can also order to go and they are so considerate about asking if you need paper plates and utensils! You can not go wrong with anything here. It's comfort on a plate. If this is your first time definitely try one of their appetizer soups and get the Ho hos fried chicken wings! They also have a buffet available during certain hours! They can get busy, especially on weekends! But plenty seating and great for large parties as well!

I gave them five star for their fried chicken wings. it was good and some may be a bit dry, but the crispy and the flavor are always there and consistent. I haven't tried other foods on the menu. I love the chicken wings and often order a party tray. Very good customer service and I can call to order and pick up and pay at the time of pick up. The restaurant is nice and clean with lots of parking space.

I paid for 2 person $30. It is not worth the money. Only have 6 Entrée and watermelon was fruits, only eggroll . No thanks ! WillNot be back .

Ho Ho gourmet has been an East Side St Paul staple for decades. The staff is always friendly and greets you right out the door and the cozy dining room has a nice family living room type of vibe That's always been very inviting. I've never been disappointed with their food. The only critique I have is since the parents turn the restaurant over to the younger generation the recipes although the same seem to have fallen off a bit when it comes to that recognizable flavor. The wings that they are very famous for are cooked to perfection but are not as well seasoned and flavorful as they once were, That aside their lo mein and sweet and sour chicken and chicken with vegetables are always hands down made to perfection every time! I personally been dining at ho ho for well over 30 years, They are always my favorite go-to spot for that quick lunch when you're really busy and on the go or for that long weekend when you want something quick but homemade reasonably priced to feed everybody and meet everybody's needs.

we ordered chicken wings from Ho Ho gourmet very excited to have it for Christmas Eve. They were very dry there was no taste at all.we ended up throwing them out we called the restaurant and they said they wanted to bring them us to bring them back but we already threw them out it's been a couple days
