Ding Ho Restaurant: A Classic Chinese Dining Experience in Columbus, OH

Nancy and Cricket stopped by and decided we needed to eat! I have taken them to Ding Ho restaurant a few times and they wanted to eat there! They come up from Ashville to eat. We went there around 3:30 this afternoon. It was a great time to go,after lunch and before dinner! The staff was their amazing friendly selves!!! Dana was our server today! We weren't rushed or hurried to finish our meal. This visit today was a time where we were reconnecting with each other and was a great place to meet up! The food was delicious and extra tasty! Party because the friends I was with !

This restaurant has the best egg rolls and vegetables soup! This time I shared the tofu with black bean sauce. Portion was huge with lots of tofu and vegetables! Simply delicious and had plenty of leftovers! Service was speedy and friendly.

Waitress Dana is funny and efficient. She explained how some of the foods are flavored a bit differently being Cantonese. Restaurant is clean and tidy.

CLASSIC, "old school" Chinese... They don't make 'em like this anymore, and that's both a good AND bad thing!! Good that there's a bit more "variety" and "fusion" going on now, leading to some more creative/non-standard choices, and bad that some of those "classic" recipes are either not as good as they used to be, or disappearing altogether. Neither the former nor the latter was the case here at Ding Ho on the early Feb. evening when I ventured east to an UYE with Mike G. and Marlena. Easy parking, clean and comfortable dining area, and PLENTY of tempting choices greeted us, and it was tough to narrow down what to order. We ordered apps. (pretty good/standard egg rolls and crab rangoon,) WONDERFUL (best I've ever had!!) won-ton soup, and shared a few entrees. Mike G. swears by the hot and sour soup and wor-su-gai, my honey walnut chicken was pretty good (I'd go with something spicier next time) and though I don't remember what M. had, I do remember she enjoyed it very much!! We ALL enjoyed our mai-tais as well... Friendly service, good variety (nothing FANCY...) and reasonable prices... All of that NEVER goes out of style!!
