Ho Foods: Reviews & Ratings
Pretty legit! The xiandoujiang is great, the luroufan was dope, the spicy wonton were really fresh. On the other hand danbing was heh, but since everything else was so good I give 5 stars!
Pretty decent Taiwanese food! My favourites were the fan tuan, the cucumber salad, and the lu rou fan! The 紅油抄手 were pretty good too, but the sauce was a little thick. I wasn’t too big of a fan of the 牛肉麵as the soup was a little oily and lacked depth of flavour. Overall was a decent meal but a little spenny for what it was.
Pretty small place and did walk in - have to wait a bit. Their Taiwanese food tastes comforting and not oily at all. They have a small menu, which, as an indecisive person, I appreciate. Would def come back again - Lu ruo fan: FIREEE 11/10 Breakfast set for 2: - Soy milk: FIREEE 11/10, warm and was so good w/ the yo tiao - Pan fried radish cake: 10/10, good flavor and soft - Fan tuan: 7/10, a little dry for me - Scallion pancake w/ egg: 8/10 pretty good - Yo tiao: 10/10, really good w/ the soy milk (forgot to take a pic of this )
So delicious, hearty, and perfectly filling. We waited a bit for a table, but the staff was very kind and made sure to get us seated before their turnover for dinner. Cute, intimate ambiance; not a ton of seating, hence the wait list. The savory soy milk with pork floss was a highlight - a dish I hadn’t tried before and can’t stop thinking about! Delicious noodles in the beef soup. Everything was great in terms of portion sizes and pricing. Worth the wait!
Always a fan of a spot that does Asian brunch, and Ho Food serves a small but delicious array of Taiwanese dishes that makes you feel like you’re back in Taiwan. Lu Rou Fan and scallion pancakes were my favorites, and the savory tofu was very good as well! Would come back to try the beef noodles!
Great place for breakfast! I ordered their breakfast set for two. The soy milk is very rich in flavor (豆香味足)and the savory soil milk tastes great too! Highly recommend both and their fresh and crispy yo tiao(fried dough).
I heard so many nice things about this spot; it had been on my list for a year. We set our expectations so high, and everything we had lived up to our expectations! The waiting time was 1.5 hours when we were there; we were debating quite a bit because we were hungry, eventually decided to walk to the cafe nearby to have some coffee and walked back when closer to our queue (you scan the QR code and joined the queue and it keeps on updating in there how long until your queue is up) We shared Savory Soy milk, Radish cake, and Pork floss Rice Rolls for appetizers. We loved the savory soy milk; it was nothing we had ever had. The soy milk's texture was so smooth and silky, and it was served warm with crusty fried dough that was super crunchy. We both agreed that we could eat this every morning for breakfast. Radish cake tastes similar to Singapore's carrot cake, but this version is even better; the starch is bouncy and goes beautifully with the dipping sauce. I shared Beef Noodles and Minced Pork Rice for the main. They both were delicious, especially the minced pork rice. I had this dish many times before in Asia, but the one we had here is the best. The space is stunning, and we got a table right by the window in the bar area, I love how humble and chic they decorated it. There are books, family pictures, and souvenirs I supposed from the owner displayed on the shelf behind the bench area emphasize the idea of home cook meals. It's super cozy.
The food was decent overall! My favorites were the fantuan and youtiao. We ordered the breakfast for two, plus garlic cucumber and beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup with thick noodles was comforting. The fantuan was good tho I wish it had a bit more sauce or stronger flavor. The cucumber was refreshing, and the soy milk was much better hot. The food leaned a bit heavy and fried for breakfast, but overall it was still a good meal
