What People Are Saying About Ho Ho Seafood Restaurant

The Editor

In Short – A sincere greeting meets diners, and the genial service continues throughout the meal. Most tables are roomy enough to seat several families at once--each outfitted with a lazy Susan, making large, casual gatherings the rule. Pages of seafood, noodle, vegetarian and meat options can be overwhelming, but regulars stick to seafood. Fresh prawns and scallops arrive barely tossed in light black-bean sauce. The usual suspects--kung pao chicken and orange beef--are also offered.

A great dining experience!

by koriander at Citysearch

My husband and I, tourists from Florida, were wandering Chinatown looking for "the right restaurant" for dinner. We stopped at Ho Ho to browse the menu, and the hostess encouraged us to join them. My husband had a good feeling about the restaurant, and when they said they had Shrimp and Honeyed Walnuts, the deal was sealed. After reading the numerous good reviews in the dining room, I settled on the Oysters in Garlic and Scallions, a specialty. We also ordered fried rice and an appetizer of squab. Everything was served family style, with large portions. The squab and oysters had a nice spice, and the Shrimp dish rivaled the Hawaiin version. This ended up being my husband's favorite restaurant during our 10 day trip. If we are ever back in Seattle, we will definately return to this restaurant!

  • Pros: Friendly staff, great food
  • Cons: We don't live in Seattle

Chinese seafood specialists

by Gary in Oly at Citysearch

A friend and I came up from Olympia to enjoy an afternoon at with the Seattle Symphony. Afterwards we headed down to the traditional Asian district to sample some not too typical cuisine. I had eaten at Ho Ho about 5 years ago and decided to try it again.

After some suggestions by the wonderful hostess/server and some other patrons, we had enjoyed a wonderful dinner in a very relaxing and friendly atmosphere.

Try the #27 in the Seafood section - Walnut/honey/shrimp. A place I would come again.

  • Pros: Service and menu were a pleasant surprise
  • Cons: Restaurant is not in the heart of the International District
1 Star Rating: Poor

Cheater

by Kane W at Citysearch

I went to this Chinese restaurant in Seattle Chinatown for dinner after my Alaska cruise on August 29th,2009. I would like to share my bad story that I had in this restaurant. First of all, the lady came to our table to hard sell the most expensive items on the menu, although the name of this restaurant is called "Seafood" restaurant but it does not mean that I really need a "seafood" for my dinner. The lady (she might be the owner of the restaurant) always hard sell the live fish, live lobster to me and my family, and after we ordered some Set dinner for my 5 people, she did not come back to social anymore.

And, the waiter gave us a bucket of steamed rice but they did not ask if we want it or not, finally we had to pay $5 for the steamed rice separately.

Also, the terrible thing was that they charged me $6 dollar for a glassof soda. $6 can buy a glass of beer in most of the restaurant in Seattle already.

I knew that it's my fault too because I did not check the price carefully before ordering the soda but I found that they were still cheating us.

  • Pros: Better than nothing
  • Cons: Hidding price

Historic Location - Bruce Lee's Kwon

by OldGuySLC at Citysearch

This building was used by Martial Artist Sifu Bruce Lee. It was his school location called a Kwon, where the famous Bruce Lee taught his earthshaking martial arts style.

Perfect for two! Get two different $20ish dinners and order beers. The manager throws in her wonderfull spicy green bean dish which complements the Spicy Garlic Crab and/or the wonderful Halibut plate. What a taste treat!

From Hal the "Guy from Salt Lake" and appreciator of Bruce Lee style martial arts, who stopped in with friend Christian who is also an appreciator of Wing Chun/Jaetkundo. Why isn't the Seattle Historical Society all over this location. What a legacy we have here!

  • Pros: The spicy green bean dish - Free!
  • Cons: NO Posting of historical location Bruce Lee's Kwon!

Authentic Chinese Cuisine

by YYFR at Citysearch

Besides great seafood dishes, all their fried rice dishes are great. We are from San Francisco, but this Restaurant is as good as any top Chinese restaurants in SF. If you need help in selecting dishes, ask for Pauline.

  • Pros: All seafood dishes are 5-star
  • Cons: None
