Ho Ho Choy Chinese Restaurant

Just picked up some Christmas Day dinner here. Pretty good crowd of course being open on Christmas. I really enjoyed the chicken and broccoli. Fried rice was decent. Egg roll was decent. Dumplings were delicious. Overall, I was quite happy with my food here and would come back again, especially for the main course.

This is legit, made on site, Dim Sum. I've had dim sum in top areas including London, Vancouver, New York, DC, Toronto and am very familiar with it. A lot of places bring in premade product and steam them (that's why there's such consistency across different places), but not here. This is clearly made on site and original. I ordered a wide array of dishes and they were all great. I would highly recommend the Ho Ho Choy to anyone who enjoys authentic dim sum. The only thing I personally prefer is the Hong Kong type of springroll vs the Shanghai version I had here. This is a personal preference, however the type served was still very good. Perhaps I missed it on the menu. The service was friendly and efficient, prices reasonable, and the ambiance was that of what you would expect at all small family type Chinese food establishment.

On a trip to Vegas, my wife and I tried a dim sum place -- one with the little old lady pushing the cart and everything. Surprisingly, even after accidentally trying chicken feet, she loved the place and the concept. (Even more surprising that she remembered it at all! She was hammered!) According to the underground dim sum network here in Tampa (not really a thing), this place has good dim sum. Just no little old lady with a cart. That would ha e been the only thing missing, cause the HoHo definitely doesn't lack on anything else! We ordered solely off the dim sum menu, but they have a full regular menu plus a hot pot menu!! Next time! I love hot pot! We had pork dumplings and shrimp dumplings and fried shrimp puffballs and an awesome beef noodle soup, and a fried noodle dish with seafood in an oyster sauce. The last 2 were full dishes big enough to split with 2-3 people (or more, if everyone just wanted a dim-sum size portion). It was all so good! Service was great too -- they started bringing the dishes out very soon after ordering, and it was nice they brought them out as each got ready rather than waiting for all at once -- so if you closed your eyes I guess you could just imagine the little old lady wheeling the cart around. All very friendly. The place itself is not in a real great area, and the building it's in was a tad sketchy too. (Oddly, the building strip had 3 Asian restaurants, a Persian restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and a Mexican food truck -- so it was like a Mecca of good eats). But the HoHo was clean and nice on the inside. You'll be fine, just go. Tell them I sent you. That won't help any, and they won't know who I am even if you explain it -- but give it a shot.

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!
