Ho Ting Restaurant

Worse and worse

by ptrepanier2009

They do have good food. The lunch buffet is tiny. However, it used to be worth it. I've watched them get cheaper and cheaper.

The employees seem to enjoy making the customers wait for food. Most of the dishes are down to the few last scraps. They'll bring one thing out at a time, and the buffet is NEVER full.

Don't these people realize saving a few bucks on food, and trying to avoid a little waste at the end of the lunch rush will just drive the customers away for good?

I used to enjoy going there even though the buffet was small. These days, it's small, and mostly empty. I refuse to go anymore because I'm tired of feeling like a dog fighting with the other dogs for the few scraps of food they throw at us. Dumb-asses.

• Pros: good food
• Cons: they enjoy making you wait

Fresh, Creative, Nutritious Home Cooked Asian Cuisine

by magice

I am a Chinese American resident of Eagan for 12 years, now living in St. Paul. Whenever my refrigerator gets low on inventory, and I don't feel like cooking, my husband and I head toward HoTing to eat in or to take out. It is a very clean and meticulously run family restaurant. Chef Lau is a hard working and good hearted person who delivers his best everyday. His sons David and Michael are very polite, efficient, and hospitable. The food is always delicious and nutritious. Chef Lau uses the freshest and highest quality ingredients he can find. He always delivers good value for the price. We have eaten everything on the menu, but we never leave there without having some Dry Fried String Beans. So good, so authentic, and so very nutritious. I trust HoTing to cook my home cooked meals whenever I couldn't.

• Pros: Service, Food, Take Out, Clean & Meticulous
• Cons: Small Space

Best in the Twin Cities

by lerex

This restaurant is off the hook!!!

They sell the some of best Chinese food That I have ever eaten and I eat a lot of Chinese food!!!!!

It is fresh seasoned and not too sweet. The vegetables are crisp and the meat is tender and literally melts in your mouth . I tried the Mongolian beef and it was some of the best that I have ever had with a good balance of onions, garlic and carrots to the meat. The egg rolls were crispy inside and out. The calamari was also excellent it was flavored with garlic and crispy.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who love Chinese food as I do.

• Pros: Great food . Great Service.
• Cons: could use a little more parking. but it is in a strip mall.
