Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the portion sizes, often noting how generous the meals are. Many find their favorite dish among the classic starters, especially the spring rolls, which consistently impress with their flavor and crunch.

The family-friendly environment shines through, particularly with the attentive service. The staff adapt meals for specific dietary needs without hesitation, highlighting their commitment to customer satisfaction. Many patrons appreciate the lively atmosphere, especially during weekend dinners, where groups come together to share great food and drinks. Lastly, the prices strike a good balance for the quality offered, leading to a strong sense of value.

Most Disliked

Some patrons have mentioned the occasional soggy salad leaves accompanying dishes, which might detract from the overall presentation. Others note busy peak times can lead to longer waits, particularly on Saturdays at 5 PM when the restaurant hits full capacity. Though the delivery service receives generally positive feedback, a few experiences reported inconsistent timing on busier nights, which can be a concern for those preferring prompt service.

Additionally, while the vibrant atmosphere draws many, some diners have expressed a longing for a quieter experience, especially during family meals when the energy peaks.

Love & enjoy going here for a wee lunchtime meal with my sons. Staff are lovely friendly very welcoming. Always been a good environment when we have been in. Not had to wait about seated & served very quickly too. The portions are huge but the food is delicious. Could eat their starters spring rolls forever definitely one to order & try out. My eldest is Gluten Free & they always always adapt his meal for him at no extra cost so we can all enjoy a family Chinese meal together. Love this place can't recommend iy high enough.

I can’t give this restaurant any less than 10 out of 10 , we have been using now for 8 yrs or more and have switched round other local and beyond takeaways now and then but have now settled with Ho Wah and go no where else 99% of the time the food is perfectly cooked and as king prawn curry is a favourite of mine this restaurant can cook prawns how there were meant to be cooked every time. We use it around every 2 weeks and they never fail ,Eamonn and the staff are polite and helpful , very clean I honestly can not recommend this restaurant high enough and at my age I have tried a few but even though it’s a 24 ml round trip this is only one we use . I don’t use the delivery service myself but have met them while collecting my meals and find them good friendly pleasant guys. For me as long as the standards stay as they are my self and extended family will continue to use this excellent restaurant , well done Ho Wah . Oh and there prices are good so that’s a bonus in these times 2024 much better value than the chip shops. Stephen.

I have to say I personally haven’t had a bad meal yet from the ho wah. Always get delivery and they are pretty good with delivery time. Tried their breaded butterfly prawns and they were delicious just would say don’t put the salad leaves in as it made them bit soggy from the water off lettuce.

Considerate service. Family friendly. Clean facilities. Very tasty food. We ordered one round of soft drinks, 3 children's 2 course meals, and a set meal for two. Came to just under £65. Considering the quality and quantity that arrived with the great service it was well worth it. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We needed a nice quick meal after a day out and before we dropped off a member of our group to the airport. We chose the set menu for 4. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and attentive. They brought the food quickly. The starter selection was very tasty & generous. The main courses equally so. I'm glad we weren't all flying out that night as we had a lot of food still to take home! The meal was excellent value working out at £15.50 per person - and more than enough for a second meal out of it for 3!
