First time here and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. No waiting at all. Service was wonderful and personable. Friendly people all around. Good prices and even better food. I'll be making plans to come back read more

Service was so so. Meals came out at different times. The only nice things I have to say was the saki was nice and hot. Fried rice was basically white rice, with brown food coloring. No taste at all. No veggies in the rice. Food was room temp when served. I suggested Ding Ho, because I was with a friend. She'd never had it. I'll never suggest Ding Oh again for Chinese! Ding OH used to be delicious. Also, the wall where we sat in the booth, was dirty and gross read more

Come for the lunch specials! Best deals on the west side. I love the Honey Pecan Chicken. It is my new favorite meal. Jamie was our waitress and she was attentive to all of our needs. The restaurant is perfect for conversation and dining pleasure. Not too loud at all. Not too expensive either. read more

Plenty of parking around their worn building amid a waste land of torn down businesses and scattered food trucks. My Thursday lunch showed a mainly nostalgic crowd of seniors and regulars. Everyone would be welcome. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. Many regulars were greeted warmly. Uninspired oriental decor but a functional spacious dining area. Strange the main dining room was down a few stairs that required warning the customers about. The egg rolls earn their reputation. Large, stuffed full and crunchy. The won ton soup also had lots of content. It was good but not the typical thin watery chicken broth. This is heartier, deeper, oilier. Lots of people were ordering the Wor Su Gai as did I. The first time I'd seen it offered as not all white meat chicken. You pay extra for all white meat. Since I prefer dark meat I was excited. The gravy was the deep orange not the more yellow I prefer. It was a good size portion (I got a take home container), with the ground peanuts and onions on it ( they asked if I wanted them). It was not as tender, nor as flavorful as I'd hoped. The fried rice (choice of white or fried) wasn't the typical, generic, bland light tan side. It was full of stuff and kind of grayish. I didn't care for it. For some reason I end up here about every decade (since it was in the old motel on Broad St. ) hoping I'd missed something. For me it's still just a bit above ok. read more

I haven't had lemon chicken in a long time so I thought we'd stop by this place since I've never been here before. I loved the customer service and the vibe of the place. I want to try more food, but the lemon chicken was not too good to me. The menu online and in person never gave heads up the chicken was cooked with coconut and it gave such a unique taste that was just too much. I'll definitely give them another try but I'll ask in more detail on what I order. read more

While we were in Columbus celebrating our anniversary we stopped in for some Chinese food at Ding Ho and was great. Great service and great authentic Chinese food. It is very hard to find Chinese restaurants like this today. My wife wasn't super hungry so she got the small appetizer entrée. I wanted to try their famous entree Wor Sue Gai it was very good and nothing like I've had before. The wonton soup was fantastic. The fried rice was great and the egg roll was on point as well. We will definitely be back, well done Ding Ho. BOOM!!!! read more

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. It feels like stepping back in time. Reminds me of Chinese restaurants from the 80s with the decor - in a good way. And the restaurant has been there about 18 years. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. They have a huge menu. Everything we tried was delicious. The egg drop soup, won ton soup, kung pao beef, moo goo gai kew, egg rolls! All delicious. The egg rolls and soup were enough for a meal themselves. The biggest egg rolls I've seen! I had 1/2 order of the moo goo gai kew and had enough leftover for lunch themselves next day. It was very fresh and green tasting. Full of veggies. We were able to get a table bw 6-7 on a Friday night without a reservation. I can't wait to go back. read more

We tried Ding Ho because we love Chinese food and were intrigued they're the oldest Chinese restaurant in Ohio, and we first heard about them from Rob Martinez on YouTube. We were excited to try them, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The food was so bad that I ended up with a migraine after eating. I usually order the same things at any Chinese restaurant and have never had a bad batch of shrimp fried rice, but here the shrimp were tiny like the ones you'd find in shrimp ramen noodles. The wonton soup was underwhelming; the wontons tasted frozen and old, though the broth itself was decent. The crab Rangoon was okay, though the filling was much sweeter than usual. My friend got the sampler platter which was just okay, and the fried shrimp had zero flavor and wasn't crispy at all. We spent over $50 and didn't even finish any of the food. Definitely overhyped. I honestly would not order from Ding Ho again. read more

Got influenced by this one creator on Youtube to come here since we were in the area and I'm glad I did! Best egg rolls I've ever had out of a chinese place! Everything we had was great. The Wor Sue Gai was a memorable dish. I think of it as a much better japanese chicken katsu/cutlet. The soup, ribs, and fried rice and pecan shrimp were all excellent, no complaints. Server was nice and polite, willing to accomodate to their needs. And the place has ample parking, nicely decorated with their history and accolades displayed inside. Clean and tidy. Highly recommended! read more

My husband found out about this place on social media so we decided to check it out! It is a little confusing since the restaurant sign said it said Cantonese cuisine. I feel like it's more Chinese American and the vibe is like a Chinese buffet for reference. I did like the egg rolls though, they were massive and stuffed with filling. I got the veggie one. As for the shrimp walnut dish, it was a bit too sweet for me but a good portion! So if you're looking for good priced decent Chinese American food in the area I would check this place out. read more

Ding Ho Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I really wanted to like this place. It claims to be the oldest Chinese food restaurant in Columbus. That does not mean it is any where near the best. My husband and I both enjoyed the wonton soup which had great flavor. But it all fell apart after that. The famous eggrolls had a fermented cabbage taste and the sweet and sour sauce was mid at best. I ordered their specialty the War Sue Gai which tasted like a basic unsweetened orange chicken. I requested fried rice but got brown in color rice - no added flavor there. My husband ordered the pork lo mein which was loaded with the white tasteless stork of bok choy and it was overall just tasteless. There was also a massive amount of canned mushrooms. The place is older, it appeared clean but had a strange odor. Our server did a good job asking if we needed refills or to go boxes. Unfortunately this establishment did not do it for me or my husband. There were many elderly patrons so maybe the lack of flavor suits their palate. read more

I know there's something about restaurants that can make them extremely hit or miss from day to day, so I believe the people who left less than stellar reviews probably weren't lying but I've never had anything other than a blast here. I've tried ordering wor sue gai at other places and it's just never the same and can't match Ding Ho's game. I LOVE the borderline dated interior. I feel like I'm stepping back into my childhood and it just makes the dining experience that much more special. I adore the no nonsense to the point servers. Do they come off as a little brusque? Yeah a little. But do they also do their job with an efficiency that's near inhuman? In my experience also yes. I get the wor sue gai and wor sue upp every time. I probably should branch out and try something else but that dang gravy has me hooked. I love getting as a "dinner" where it comes with soup and the rib, shrimp and egg roll. The egg rolls! They're so good here! I truly hope I never come on a disappointing day because it would be devastating to fall out of love with this restaurant. read more

Had the best carryout experience. Having a craving, stopped in and ordered an egg roll, Wor Sue Gai, and a Happy Family both with fried rice. Quoted 10-15 minutes and ready within 10. A yelp buddy of mine (Thanks Mike), invites out a couple months ago and I have been craving ever since. Both visits impressed and I am in love with their food! Definitely recommend. read more

Very nice dining experience. I can see why they are a go to Chinese restaurant for the CBus market. The dining area was very clean, the service was exceptional, and the food was good. I ordered the hot and sour soup and was blown away as to how good it was. Also, the crab Rangoon was the best I have eaten. The egg roll and spareribs were also very good. As for entrees, I enjoyed the chicken chow mein (even though it was a little too salty) and the house fried rice was very good. I was a little disappointed that they did not have a "secret Chinese" menu as I enjoy more authentic Chinese food. We will definitely return for soups and appetizers. read more

I really want to like this place. I have went 4 different times thinking maybe I just went on a bad day. But to me it is no better than any mid Chinese place. Nothing I have ever got from there is memorable. People say the egg rolls are amazing there, but to me they don't taste any different than one you would get at your average Chinese buffet. But I would give 5 stars to the staff. Everybody there is awesome. Prices are not bad. But if you have a hole in the wall place close to you I'd hit that first. read more

I've been curious about this restaurant for a while and finally got the chance to try it the other evening for dinner. Most in my group had already been and are regulars. They've tried a lot on the menu. I decided to go with the Ding Ho special just to sample different items. It came with fried rice, a large egg roll, 2 butterfly shrimp, and 2 spare ribs. The ribs stood out the most. Flavorful and tender. The fried rice was nothing special and the shrimp was bland lol. The egg roll was pretty big! Could be shared or eaten yourself. The cabbage tasted fresh like they had just made the egg roll. But I did get the chance to sample a couple different noodle dishes from my table mates and they tasted very fresh. Lots of veg. I was impressed! The servers are nice. They really know their regulars. Tons of parking over here. I'm not sure which days they get busy but they seemed to have ample space. read more

Wow'd! Absolutely Wow'd! We were a group of 9, and Mandy took excellent care of us from start to finish. I mean, she was on point. Everyone in our group got something different, and I kid you not, everyone was complimenting their food. From Lo Mein, to Chow Mein, to War Su Gai, Garlic Chicken, pot stickers, egg rolls, and all the various soups, Ding Ho knocked it out of the park tonight! 5 Stars! And A Little More On Your Plate... My highest recommendations: Soups: Just pick one. They're all savory and flavorful. Egg Rolls, Housemade. They will not disappoint. Entrees: War Su Gai - The best in town. Half dark, half white meat chicken on a bed of lettice with that golden sauce. It's delicious! Lo Mein - Tender noodles with a tossing of bok choy. It's an amazing find. Chow Mein - Lots and lots and lots of vegetables. A mild Cantonese favorite. Honey Walnut Shrimp - A great combination of sweet and savory. Potstickers - A great combination of steamed / fried pork filled dumplings. read more

Excellent Chinese joint. I had the wor sue gai dinner with fried rice, egg roll, won ton soup, and spare rib. It all exceeded my expectations I've never had wor sue gai before. The breading on the chicken was great I loved the style of the sliced breaded chicken with chopped lettuce underneath and orange gravy on top. The won ton soup was so good the lady said they make it from scratch. I think the best egg roll I've had as well. Good stuff. I also loved the atmosphere. read more

It's been a while since eating at Ding Ho's but we were in search of great egg rolls and War Sue Gai. We found both at Ding Ho's. The service was exceptional. Our server was courteous and knowledgeable answering a couple menu questions. I had hot and sour soup, an egg roll and cashew chicken. My wife had an egg roll and War Sue Gai. Everything was delicious. The egg rolls are probably the best I've ever had!! The War Sue Gai had crispy chicken with lighter gravy which we love. The atmosphere inside was warm and inviting and a throwback to an older style Chinese restaurant. We are excited to rediscover amazing egg rolls again! read more

Not sure what all the recent bad reviews are on this place. We had a great experience. I haven't been to Ding Ho since it was in the old location...so it's been a LONG time. The egg rolls are just as amazing as I remember them being. So delicious. We had never tried the Wor Sue Gai so we had to try that. It was good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the gravy was alittle less flavorful that I expected but it was good. The General Tso's was really good. Great flavor, my husband ordered it spicy so it was alittle too spicy for me. But he loved it. The Mongolian beef was different than anywhere else I had gotten it but it was delicious too. The gravy was delicious. Lots more things on the menu we went to try. We will be back soon. read more

We ordered cashew chicken with fried rice, pork lo mein, egg drop soup, won ton soup, and an egg roll. The egg drop soup, won ton soup and cashew chicken was pretty good. The side of fried rice was bland. We were told their regular entree of fried rice is more flavorful. The egg roll had a cinnamon flavor to it and just wasn't good. The pork lo mein was only so so. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

Ding Ho Cantonese restaurant makes the best Wor Sui Gai and Egg Roll that I have ever had! Add a bowl of Won Ton Soup for a perfect trio. Quite the surprise from this low-key, maybe forgotten Chinese establishment. I was greeted by a friendly server upon arrival. When my Won Ton soup arrived a relished the thick, pork-filled Won Ton Noodles. The added char siu pork slices and green onions topped off this classic soup. The egg roll was giant, perfectly-fried, stuffed tightly with the all their cabbage goodness. Serious artistic discipline was used to make the Wor Sui Gai. Perfectly fried with skin on created a crispy product, topped with gravy, peanuts, and scallions. What a classic culinary treat! Ding Ho claims to be the oldest Chinese restaurant in Columbus. They also claim to be the first restaurant to serve Wor Sui Gai in America. After watching the YouTube video on this restaurant I had to give it a try. I was more than elated with my trio of food choices. You got to try this place out. You won't be disappointed! Pro Tip: Don't be "that guy" who orders all-white meat on the Wor Sui Gai! read more

Went to Ding Ho on Phillipe, near Hollywood Casino tonight. The restaurant was very clean. Staff attentive and friendly. Two large dining rooms, looks like it could accommodate groups easily. As we sat down, a friend saw I had checked into the restaurant on Yelp and had messaged me saying try their egg rolls and their soups are all amazing. We ordered hot and sour soup, egg rolls, crab rangoon, house fried rice and chicken cantonese lo mien. I am singing praise to the soup and appetizers. The soup alone was worth the 25 min drive. The egg roll was excellent and the crab rangoon was the some of best I've had in Columbus. The photos look like it was cruspy and greasy... it wasnt greasy at all. Light nice crisp. So good. However, I was not a fan of the lo mien. The sauce was too salty for my taste. However my husband liked it. The house friend rice had nice flavor. Rice was cooked perfectly... tonight, their house fried rice has a lot of red meat in it, to which Im not a fan. However, husband is a fan of beef and pork, and loved it. I would go back for the soup and appetizers, for sure. The soup is extraordinary. Trip there: 4 out of 5 star read more

Ding Ho's dine-in experience is consistently excellent, while takeout has only met my standards once. I judge Chinese restaurants by their egg rolls, and Ding Ho's has unique, less cooked, and more crunchy egg rolls that are delicious. read more

I heard about this place on YouTube and I was driving through Columbus and decided to stop. I think I got there around 1:15p and it wasn't very busy all. The service was great, I think my waitress was named Mandy and was fast. I ordered Hot & Sour soup (awesome) which has peas in it which I've not had before but I love peas so it was a win. The egg roll was good, tastes like it had a hint of nutmeg in them, I love that. My main dish was Hunan Chicken. I asked for extra spicy. It couldve been hotter but I'm a spice guy, it's rarely hot enough for me. I was pleased with this place and would absolutely stop in again when passing through. Maybe next time I'll try the Wor Sue Gai. read more

The egg rolls are larger than most. It's not the best egg rolls in Columbus yin yue off of Hudson is. Ding ho egg roll has more filling of cabbage and is tasty. I like more of a crunch . Nice size restaurant. Fun servers. They understand the business of a restaurant. Service is polite and energetic. The place is dated a bit. The booth seats need to be replaced. They have loyal customers. The wor su guy chicken was the most moist I have ever had. The flavor of the crunch was delicious. The chicken fried rice had a very nice black pepper taste to it. I enjoyed it. The regular rice was just ok. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for over a decade, but never found a reason to venture there. Finally, had an errand and with the recent viral review thought it was time. I walked in and placed a to go order. Food was quick, staff were amazing to me and others. You can tell the service is going to be good overall. checked on me while I was waiting and brought it directly to me when it was ready. Lunch Wor Sue Gai - white meat Lunch Fried Rice Egg Rolls Hot mustard & sweet sour sauces Even with ~15 minute drive, everything remained crispy and still pretty warm. You can tell the egg rolls are made in house fresh. The dough isn't quite like anything I've had elsewhere so that's a huge plus. Inside veggies still had a little bite to them as well. However, it was incredibly bland otherwise. Now the mustard and the sweet/sour sauce ---- other worldly good. The egg rolls are just the delivery device IMHO. Fried rice = perfectly cooked brown rice, zero flavor, zero veggies Wor Sue Gai = perfect crunchy coating. Crazy dry chicken. zero flavor including the bland gravy. Pretty disappointed. I'll give it another try via dine in. But otherwise, I've honestly had better. read more

Egg rolls. Egg rolls. Egg rolls. Did I mention the egg rolls? Big, hand rolled, perfectly fried - home made sweet/sour sauce & hot mustard. I tried the War Su Gai as it was a specialty.

Very much an American style Chinese place (we lived in Shanghai for three years and go back every year). The hot and sour soup was good. Pot stickers were nice. But all three of our main dishes- beef, shrimp, and the Singapore noodles, were all just so-so. Not very flavorful, not bad, but not worth coming back for. Staff was friendly, but not Chinese, interior was open and roomy, didn't feel crowded at all, so that was nice. read more

Based on carryout only: customer service was good, everything was efficient and correct. I ordered the potstickers, egg roll, and Wor Sue Gai. The food was disappointing. The potstickers were good, but the soy sauce was very salty. The egg roll was so heavily fried, it didn't have much of a flavor at all. The sauce with the egg roll was good though. I did not enjoy the Wor Sue Gai at all, and I am very confused about why this is the recommended dish. The chicken is bland and very heavily breaded. The orange gravy is served on the side (at least for carryout), which I'm not a fan of. The sauce itself was also strangely bland. Their other dishes might be better - I would recommend that you get something besides the Wor Sue Gai. Unfortunately, I don't think this is my taste. read more
