“ Wow!!! This may be the Oldest, Continuously Operating, Fourth-Generation, Family-Owned & Operated Asian Restaurant in the Country. There is good reason why it’s still in operation, having survived multiple economic downturns, and a global pandemic. There are employees here whose entire careers have been spent working here. They have a successful formula and a flavorful menu, and at very reasonable prices. The dishes are generously portioned and flavorful. ”
“ Food was great had beef fried rice and wonton soup. Beef was tender with the fried rice and soup was very flavorful and hot. Also loved the sprouts that were in the fried rice. Will definitely be back next time in town. Waitress and staff were very polite and attentive . ”
“ Ding Ho came up on my social media feed, and we already had a trip to Columbus planned! We wanted to try somewhere new to us, and Ding Ho did not disappoint. We ordered a Mini Sampler, Wor Sue Gai and the Sweet & Sour chicken. The egg rolls are the best we’ve ever had- crisp and bursting with filling! The Sweet & Sour was good, and the Wor Sur Gai is... different? It was the first time trying it, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, flavor-wise. My husband really enjoyed it! The unexpected star of the show is the Spare Rib! Tender, seasoned well and delightfully sticky... we could’ve devoured a plateful! Give Ding Ho a try, if you can! ”
“ AMAZING is all I can say! The food was incredible and reminded me of my childhood. Not many times does food take you to a place from when life was happier but this restaurant did that for me today. The atmosphere is so cozy and relaxed. This place is a gem you have to try it! ”
“ The egg rolls are the best in the city. You can't go wrong with War Su Gai or Lemon Chicken. If you have the time to wait, the Chinese Chicken is my favorite, but takes 40 minutes to make. They have a full bar and drinks are very good. I prefer sitting on the bar side because it feels more open and outside with the windows and sunroom. ”
“ We ate dinner at Ding Ho’s and it was delicious! I had a bowl of Hot and Sour Soup, two egg rolls, and Cashew Chicken with Fried Rice. My spouse had an egg roll and War Sue Gai. Everything was very good. The egg rolls were the best we’ve ever had. The sweet and sour sauce with hot mustard is a must for me and these egg rolls did not disappoint! Our server was courteous and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was inviting and clean. We will definitely be returning soon!! ”
“ Crispy, home made egg rolls stuffed full. Huge portions. We were a party of 7 for a birthday mid week and got a very personable waitress. ”
“ Saw your video on Instagram and told my husband the next we are in Columbus we were gonna try it. Well here we are and this is the best chinese food we've ever had. Absolutely delicious on everything!! ”
