How did we miss this gem for so long?We've lived a mile from Hoho's since it opened, and had nearly given up trying to find a Chinese restaurant that would fill the hole left by years of San Francisco's and Hong Kong's offerings. We've tried many Portland restaurants, but none came close. I'll confess, I tried to forget my sorrow in the warm embrace of Thai food. Alas, Irving Street's family style bean curd haunted me, so my search continued, thankfully. We came for lunch on Valentine's Day and were greeted cheerfully by the hostess. Our server was quick and helpful, answering our questions and giving personal recommendations while we sipped our tea and perused the large menu. The lunch special included delicious hot and sour or egg flour soup, a full pot of rice, and dinner-sized platters of our dishes. All came to our table steaming. HoHo's homestyle bean curd made my heart sing again. Lovely texture, just the right seasoning, and paired with a beautiful fresh medley of vegetables. My partner enjoyed the broccoli beef with equal pleasure. As a vegetarian, I'll add that the Chinese broccoli was perfection. We're already planning our return, me especially looking forward to sampling the other tofu and bean curd dishes, as well as the array of vegetable offerings. Cheers HoHo! read more

Very good! My usual spot was closed for the holiday, so I decided to give hoho a try and I'm glad I did! Closer to my house, better pricing, and great flavors!! Will definitely be ordering again. read more

Started with some very flavorful pot stickers, and tea. We had three different lunch entrees, two were flavorful and packed with protein. The third was mostly celery, which most Chinese restaurants use as a filler instead of boc choy. Very personable waitress, and the restaurant was spotless. Odd location, but right next door is an ice cream shop that looks inviting, we're going to give it a try next time. This restaurant deserves 5 stars, but the one dish had Iike 50% celery and that's a total bummer for us. We're going to make one more trip down there and try something new and different. read more

I haven't been here in probably eight years. I came here with a friend expecting to get the same quality of food and a quiet atmosphere that we could enjoy and have a conversation. I was not disappointed! The restaurant seemed to be run by family as I saw what looked like three generations there. The service was excellent, the Homestyle Beancurd from the lunch menu was very tasty and I took home leftovers to have for lunch the next day. I will be coming back really soon! I highly recommend HoHo! read more

Hoho Restaurant - Menu as of 7/14/2025 - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

There used to be a lot of Chinese restaurants in Portland, but those days are gone. Now half the places you try are clones by other names serving reheated frozen Sisco slop. Ho Ho is an exception. The sesame beef is brilliant. They have fast efficient service, and a really nice space. I would have given them a perfect five stars, but the steamed rice was a little dry. We will definitely be back. read more

First time here on a friends recommendation. We were greeted quickly by the friendly staff. We ordered the kung pao chicken and orange flavored chicken - both lunch specials to go. I was informed that they do not include the soup on to go orders. I was alright with that but a bit bummed. We went outside to wait. The staff came outside and asked if we'd like the soup while we waited. My daughters and I were happy to have the soup. Even though we should have only gotten 2 soups, she brought out 3. The egg flower soup we had was great! Wonderfully flavorful with the right amount of egg, tofu and veggies. Our food was ready pretty quickly and we headed home. The portion size was pretty big. The orange flavored chicken was tasty and the rice done perfectly. The Kung Pao chicken was great - ample chicken, peanuts, veggies and spice! I would definitely come back read more

Blacks get treated differently than whites when picking up orders. They are pretty obvious about it too. They go from smiling and handing them their order order to the white person, then asking to closely see my phone, verify the name and watch me click accept before they will hand over the order. Not only have they done this once, but another time as well. It's documented prejudice. They should be ashamed. read more

I tried Hohos for the first time the other night and I was very impressed. I came in to make a Togo order and the restaurant was empty so I think it's safe to say most people do takeout here. The menu was extensive and it was hard to decide what I wanted. Lots of tofu and vegetable options. I got the general tsos tofu, salt and pepper tofu and veggie spring rolls. The entrees came with a side of rice and it was all AMAZING. The general tso tofu was hands down my favorite thing. The flavor was phenomenal and the tofu was cooked perfectly. The salt and pepper tofu was also delicious and came with garlic onions. I preferred the general tso because of all of the sauce!!! The springs were so crunchy and delicious but came with a clear sauce I didn't try. I just used soy sauce and it was great. Our order was ready within 5-10 minutes and I was not expecting it to be ready so fast. 10/10 would recommend this Chinese food. read more

Very clean, welcoming, service awesome.. omg food amazing. We ordered Kung Pao chicken and chicken with black bean garlic sauce. Loved it

I love the Chinese food here and the customer service. The lunch menu is so reasonable - my favorite is "Happy Family" where you get a little bit of everything - seafood, assorted meats, an and a great selection of vegetables. I love the fresh green beans, and egg plant. The seafood clay pot is a favorite of my daughter. For dinner, Happy Family is served on a very hot pan and it does sizzle! Check out the lunch specialties on the board for what is fresh and flavorful for the day! I love the proprietor as she is always warm and friendly, and makes adjustments to the dishes as needed (she can adjust the spiciness, and ingredients as needed). It is near St Ignatius church, and a great location to meet with my friends from church. My background is Chinese but American-born, and I'm not going down the road of whether it is authentic. It's just great food, the type my mother would cook, and my type of ambiance - casual, relaxed, and warm. read more

Got food poisoning from this location. Server was nice but the food wasn't the best. I've been suffering from diarrhea for over a week now. The place was super hot as well. I ordered the orange chicken that was more chewy and hard to swallow. read more

I ordered take out today and was very satisfied. The beef chow Mein (soft noodle) is so flavorful and the meat so tender. The portions are huge. I can eat this 3 times or easily share with another and be full. the egg drop soup was hot and delicious when I got to my destination. only one gripe: No spoon, drank soup read more

Horrible food!!! Ordered "crab puffs " which had no crab in it !!! Inside was cream cheese that tasted old ! Also for Chow mein dish , tasted sooo bad. Noodles were dry only a few chicken pieces and veggies were so soggy .... I don't leave reviews often , but this was just horrible. read more

Jesus the is literally the worst order I've ever got out. Everything's cold, has no taste and is repulsive. DO NOT EAT HERE. So gross. Also the place is a mess and the service is cold. Truly disgusting. read more

Even with all the mixed reviews, we decided to give it a try for lunch. We were not disappointed. Maybe they are reading the reviews and are actively trying to improve. Ordered from the lunch menu and everything was great. The portions were big, and sauces were flavorful just the way we like it. Not too salty, not too sweet, the sauces, seasonings, herbs, and the fire wok (aka wok hei is the smoky flavor) flavor did all the work. The lady was very nice and polite as well. The environment is relaxed and it is very welcoming and clean. read more

I have been a patron of HoHo Chinese restaurant for more than 30 years. I have never had a bad meal, EVER. The staff is friendly, there's an enormous selection from which to choose a meal. Cost- one can't beat the value. You won't go wrong with HoHo. read more

I've ordered from this restaurant countless times, and I've always loved their chow mein. However, today there were 2 grubs in my order. I had eaten a couple bites before I found them. I'm honestly sad because their food always tasted good, but I'm so grossed out I can't order from there again. I'd just be careful if you're considering the chow mein at least. read more

So disappointing! My husband and sons who don't like Chinese went out of town so I ordered from GrubHub. The "crab puffs" had not one speck of crab in them. The sweet and sour chicken had no peppers or onions, just some dry, hard chicken. Horrible food. read more

An amazing 'standard chinese' place. There is so much Pho, Thai, korean, etc in portland now, but not that many good ol' chinese places. The classics you know and love are here. General Tso's tastes just how it should-amazing. Portion size is great, and lunch specials are a huge deal. You dont think you appreciate a place like this until you are let down by the alternatives, then you finally get it. Would be nice if they stop using plastic clamshells, and switched to something biodegradeable and good for the planet. read more

I never take the time to write a review but this was so bad I felt the need to warn others simply for health concerns. I ordered the honey walnut shrimp, lo mein and crab puffs. I was starving, immediately ate the honey walnut shrimp and after two seconds spit it out in the sink. The shrimp were really soggy, it tasted like a mayonnaise based sauce, it was absolutely disgusting. Lo mein was edible, but I was turned so off by the shrimp, I couldn't really eat it. The crab puffs has 0 crab in them, just cream cheese. After further investigation realized this place currently has a 76, and has failed many times in the past. Don't eat here. Ever. This place should be shutdown. read more

Hoho Restaurant - No crab at all, just cream cheese - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The food at Ho Ho is so AMAZING that we drive half way across Portland for dinner. I am a huge fan of their Sesame Beef [so tender!], their Hot & Sour Soup, and their Kung Pao Chicken. The spring rolls are also yummy. Service is prompt and attentive. With this place, it's not about the atmosphere, it's about the food. This is a good place for large gatherings because they have some round tables. They also do take out. read more

Had a lovely night with a bunch of friend's family! The food was full on American Chinese but it's good. We ordered a whole bunch of things for our party of 8. The Potstickers stood out to me; super juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also enjoyed the Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The dish was well-seasoned and the shrimps were fresh. Besides those 2 dishes, I thought the other dishes were too heavy, covered with gravy like oyster sauce. Nonethelesss, the restaurant has a very homey ambience and wasn't too busy so it's easy to talk and hear people at our round table. Oh! Also, the Almond Cookies were scrumptous. I really had troublee stopping myself from getting seconds, which I did. read more

Waited 2 hours for an Ubereats delivery just to have the driver reach out to me and tell me you're refusing to make the order. What kind of business are yall running? Never heard of a place doing that. Sincerely hope yall go out of business read more

I ordered the crab puffs, but unfortunately there was absolutely zero crab in them. It was entirely filled with cream cheese. I'm not being hyperbolic. There was literally no crab. The General Tso's and Happy Family were pretty good. read more

When we came in I thought it was a good sign that so many people were waiting for takeout and delivery. It must be decent if people want it even if it's just to eat at home. Service was really friendly and prompt. Started with the bbq pork because I feel it's a must when going out for Chinese - was exactly as expected. I wasn't expecting soup, so that was a nice surprise. Egg flower soup was heartier than anyplace I've had it before. We each got our own entree because my partner likes spicy, me not so much. I did taste his though and it was really good. Portions were good sized with fresh ingredients. We were fine with both the quality and quantity of our proteins. We enjoyed our food, both there and later as leftovers. Lots of menu options at reasonable prices. I would recommend. read more

Great food, great staff, and lots of options. I really like this place. I know it has been around forever but until now I hadn't lived close enough to it to make it a regular stop. Don't have anything negative to say, except that I wouldn't mind a few more vegetarian options on the menu. Try the avocado milkshake! read more

I ordered from here to pick up on postmates. The option of Pepper Salted Shrimp because the description said glass noodles included. They did not include the noodles, and when I called to ask to come pick up the noodles that were missed, I was rudely argued with by the First Lady on the phone, then the manager. They consistently told me to take it up with postmates, but they are the ones that I'm sure fill out the menu. They told me I ordered the option without noodles, which on their "delivery menu" on Grubhub is for 13.50$, but the 14.00$ option, also states glass noodles included, the exact description from the postmates order I selected (and also paid 14$, not 13.50 for the noodleless offer they claim I ordered). Finally, after I argued with the manager for a couple minutes and him admitting he would check the menu descriptions on postmates, after first telling me postmates writes the menus, he offered extra noodles next time we ordered there, never offering to let me come get the noodles I planned to, tonight. Why would there ever be another time we order food from them, after this horrible customer service experience. I felt like an ass for trying to complain about this in the first place, but after the way they treated me on the phone, I have to warn others to take their business elsewhere. read more

First visit was ok. This last delivery was questionable. Improper ingredients, odd textures. Sub par for sure. Will not be returning.

Pre-COVID this was our go-to "post night out and can't move" delivery spot. Even though I am not going out and partying right now, sometimes I have one of those pandemic days when I just need to indulge and get delivery from here to feel something. My usual: General Tso Chicken - giant pieces of chicken in this one, beware! Chicken Chow Mein - saucy af. Pork Fried Rice - typical and gets the job done. Honey Walnut Shrimp - also saucy af. Thank you Hoho's for being open during this pandemic-- there's nothing better than being an American human and having an American Chinese restaurant to turn to for familiar feelings of yum. TLDR: Everything is exactly what it needs to be. A tried and true classic North American Chinese restaurant that delivers fast and is perfect for eating at home in your sweats on the couch while you watch some crappy reality tv. read more

Absolutely amazingly good food. Americanized Chinese food that never disappoints. Ignore the negative reviews and order some house special fried rice, wonton soup, BBQ pork, salt and pepper shrimp, and general Tsos chicken. People that don't like this place actually just have bad taste. This place is a Portland staple. Put some respec on HOHOs name. read more

This is great for American Chinese food. You need hot sauce and soy to make it tasty

I'm always on the hunt for a great wonton soup and stumbled upon Ho Ho through GH. I ordered the wonton soup and was blown away. It's hard to find one that has all the components spot-on the way Ho Ho does. The broth has an excellent and satisfying flavor profile. The wonton's are delightful and not too salty. It also comes with a LOT of them when so many other restaurants skimp on the wontons. The meat (BBQ pork) that comes with it is NOT dried out and flavorless like so many others. I'm looking forward to trying more of their dishes as soon as I stop obsessing over how good the soup is! read more

I want you to close you eyes and think about this first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Ho Ho... That's right! Of course you thoughts about happy endings! You know, the kind where you've gorged yourself silly on Chinese food, so full that you think you're going to pop. The kind when you cry out to the heavens "WHY DID I EAT SO MUCH?!", and then your waitress brings you a fortune cookie and you are happy. Very happy! Who doesn't love a fortune cookie happy ending?! With that said... This place is good. Friendly service, food came out fast, and the food was decent. We only ordered the basics (pot stickers, sweet & sour chicken, broccoli beef) because I was a little scared of what their food was like, but I will fear no longer. They also get an extra star for having Pepsi products. Coke sucks. Yeah, I said it. Coke sucks! My search for GOOD chinese food in Portland continues, but Ho Ho's and Fujin will hold me over when I need some sweet & sour chicken. read more

My local Chinese joint. Also my favourite. Portions are generous, and always fresh and clean. Service is great, when you dine in, and it's got a nice atmosphere - sunny, bright, open, and airy. General Tso's Chicken is a favourite. Their Hot&Sour soup was a lifesaver when i wasn't feeling well! Highly recommended. read more

It was a Saturday night and we wanted delivery. Caviar was so overloaded that the site kept crashing. Our favorite Indian place said they were too busy. We decided to order from Ho Ho on another delivery app as I remember eating there years ago and thinking it was pretty good. Wrong. For starters,we had the roast pork, which was good enough, but they only gave us a tiny bit of mustard and sauces to dip it in. We also got the General Tso's chicken, which was okay and the Sesame Beef. The beef was overly tenderized and it didn't have the slight crispiness, like our favorite Chinese place does. We also had the Yang Chow fried rice. At our old takeout place, now closed, this was full of shrimp, chicken, pork and bits of beef. Ho Ho's version had a nice flavor, but almost no goodies in it, maybe two shrimp, some peas and nothing else except seasoning. We were definitely disappointed and won't be ordering from here again. read more
