Mr. Ho was our chosen spot for lunch recently - we (as a threesome) arrived at the restaurant shortly after it opened at 11 am, and were able to catch a place to park in the small lot at the back.

We were warmly greeted upon entering, and shown to booth seating by the window.  Our server then brought a large pot of hot tea, mugs, and menus as soon as we had seated -- her service was friendly and helpful throughout our stay.  Service to our table of the dishes ordered, was very prompt.  During our meal, the owner (who had been working at the service counter), made-rounds to all occupied tables (a good number at that time) - for a big place, I found that a rather nice touch, and enjoyed our short chat.

Food ordered:  Appetizer:  honey garlic chicken wings (chicken wings w/sauce and a few pieces of pineapple) -- Seafood:  fresh squid w/salt & hot pepper (breaded squid (body pieces) w/garlic, and lightly seasoned) -- Veggies:  pan-fried chop suey (mixed) veggies (broccoli, sweet corn, baby bok choy, mushroom, carrot and onion) -- Chow Mien:  house special chow mein (dry noodles, broccoli, sweet corn, mushroom, shrimp, slices of chicken, beef, and pork).

Presentations were fine - quite colourful, and served up in good portion sizes.  Preparations, as a whole, though rather well-prepared, were not particularly unique in composition, or flavourfully 'exciting' with distinctive tastes -- vegetable dish, though ingredients included different veggies, composition was mostly broccoli, and lacked a good selection of 'different' veggies, sauce/stock lacked a little in tasty flavour -- chow mein dish included the same kinds of veggies used in the veggie dish, and lacked a touch in flavour -- squid was very tender and flavourful (mostly from the garlic in the preparation), but breading was rather soggy -- wings were tender, flavourful and tasty, but the preparation quite greasy.

Though not particularly "wowed" by the food tried at Mr. Ho, the dishes ordered, restaurant's rather nice ambiance, and good, friendly service, provided a fun, and enjoyable lunch dining experience.ere? Include that too! And remember, your review needs to be at least 140 characters long :)

老牌唐餐館的和菜套餐

北美洲的中菜館,在老一輩的美國以及加拿大華僑多稱之為唐餐館,而當年老華僑所謂的“雜碎Chop Suey”這個名稱就是指盛行於北美地區的美式中菜,至今已有一百多年的歷史,傳聞是1896年中國政治人物李鴻章遊歷美國時,由李的私人廚師帶入當地,更流行成為當地洋人一道喜歡的中式美食。本地唐餐館的美式中菜比較有名的包括咕嚕肉、芙蓉炒蛋、楊州炒飯炒麵、酸辣湯等等,都是老外們(指洋人) 的至愛菜色。而「好好麵家」就是本地美式中菜的老牌唐餐館之一,在本拿比現址已經營了一段很長時間,大部份顧客亦以老外為多。據悉餐館的老東主已於兩年前去世,現在餐館生意由子女接手繼續經營。

多款和菜全日供應 (送老火例湯、白飯、生果),我選了四和菜 $48.80

沙葛瘦肉老火例湯 ~ 老火湯料多味濃,十分好喝 (4/5分)

雀巢海中寶 ~ 海鮮配料的味道不足,反而芋絲做的雀巢炸得又脆又香,加分 (3/5分)

蒜子蜜汁豬排 ~ 豬排嫩滑,炸得十分香脆,蜜汁非常入味 (4/5分)

牛腩蘿蔔煲 ~ 牛腩鬆軟入味,但蘿蔔炆得時間不足夠,可惜啊!(4/5分)

五柳石班塊 ~ 久違了的酸甜五柳醬,加上香脆的魚柳,非常好吃 (4/5分)

If you're looking for quality & affordable Chinese food in Burnaby, this is your place. As a kid, I grew up living in South Burnaby and Mr. Ho was near our neighbourhood so it was always a treat when my parents would take us to eat here or even bring us take out dinner.
As the years flew by, we've seen this place change but the food quality hasn't! Very friendly group of staff here who care about the customers and their satisfaction.
Till this day I would take my parents to have dinner here on a special occasion, ordering them their favourite fook chow fried rice...😊

I've passed by this place so many times but never bothered to go in (because I get better Chinese food at home, that's why!) But tonight it was my friend's pick and also in part because we were curious about how just how many types of wontons there could be in a wonton house, we wandered in. Curious mix of both Chinese and non-Chinese persons. Hmm... At least for sure it would be easy for non-Chinese persons to order, which was great for the two of us.

Great food really fresh! I was late picking up my order it was not so hot when I arrived home the food was so fresh I could not tell the difference reheating it ! This was the 4th place I tried in Burnaby and yep found it ! I will definitely be a returning customer. The breaded chicken balls are made in house with with large peaces of chicken ,the black bean sauce was amazing with fresh ingredients . Wonton soup was tasty with its own characteristic flavour . This is not a cookie cutter Chinese restaurant it has character freshness and flavour . You will not regret it !

Combination plates. Last night Wife and I went to Mr. Ho's Wonton House in Burnaby on Kingsway and I must tell you what a great meal we had there. We ordered combo plate #a and combo plate #d and everything we had was delicious. The atmosphere was great the waitress and hostess were very friendly and very helpful. They started off with wonton soup which was delicious and then brought us an egg roll each which was awesome and then our meal came. The Wife and I ordered the two combo plates so we could split them up. Everything came piping hot and fresh . One combo featured chicken chow mien with sweet and sour pork and fresh beef chop suey and the other featured lemon chicken fried pork rice and some more beef chop suey. Everything was outstanding the food the service and the atmosphere . My Wife and I would go back for sure to this great restaurant. They have been voted best Chinese food in Burnaby for ten years and I can definitely agree with that. The total bill including the free hot tea for us both was $ 29.35 with tax included.I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys good Chinese food!!

Splendid!. I took a new job in the neighborhood and the crew I am working with are leading the way to the local spots right now and it is simply awesome. It is almost like I have moved to a new city. All new places and I even have a few new cuisines planned.

After reading the reviews for this place I was puzzled to find how much the actual experience contradicted them. It seemed a lot of visitors had expectations relating to the fare and then were ultimately self-disappointed. I don't believe this is a fare approach to rating establishments.

Every single bite was simply perfect and satiated the tongue and mind. We did not order anything extravagant, Chow Mein, General Chow's Chicken, Spicy Beans and some Hot and Sour Soup. The service was warm and colourful and for a party of five to walk away for under $55 (healthy tip included) this place is a must eat!

Dr. Ho's. Okay, I know it's not "Dr Ho's" but for some reason, we always call it that. I suppose because it's the perfect cure for our craving for Chinese food.
This is the kind of place where you'll either like it or hate it. The food is kind of westernized dishes (similar to Rose Garden) but it is very satisfying when you have a craving for it. We always get the spicy wontons and the green beans when we get take out.
They are really fast in their kitchen! I work nearby and they always have the food ready by the time I get there when I phone in for take-out (within 10-15 minutes). I asked them once about that and they said they had an army in the kitchen (and I don't doubt it). It's also nice getting the fortune cookies in the little chinese take-out containers.

For Easily Accessible Chinese Food.... Yes, we all have our guilty pleasures. At times, North Americanized Chinese food is one of mine. Cold rainy days in Vancouver are a welcome companion for commonplace dishes such as wor wonton soup, fried rice and the dreaded (but often beloved) ginger beef. Of the latter, I don't think I've ever had it the way they prepare it here, in really thin slivers, with that distinct sweet/spicy coating that makes this addictive to some. When I want to "dumb it down", with understandable Chinese grub, places like Mr. Ho do me right.

It's no surprise to you that I like to go out to eat during game days to avoid the crazy Canucks madness. I am a horrible Vancouverite, but my love of eating is stronger than suffering from anxiety of watching the Canucks games. M and I went out to Mr. Ho's Wonton House on Kingsway after watching a movie at Metrotown. I have not been here in years and I do love Chinese food. On the ride from Metrotown, he wanted to go to all these fast food places and I shut down all of his suggestions until we go to Mr. Ho's. KFC and Subway are not good dinner choices….*sigh.* men….. I really wanted to get noodles since Kung Fu Panda 2 since it just seemed right to do so. Unfortunately, if I was going to a ramen place, I would have gotten noodles. I saw some of the rice items on Mr. Ho's menu and that drew my attention… plus noodle at Mr. Ho's can't be that amazing. I think I am a sucker when it comes to Asian themed things such as interior décor. I loved their walls. Like any Chinese place, yo

This place has received a lot of awards for best chinese food in Burnaby and I don't know why, because its not the food. I'm thinking its because the employees here are very friendly to non-Chinese customers so their clientele is non-Asian and seeing as h

I really appreciate the decor of the house, so warm and so nostalgic that it takes you back to a past wonton house in Canton, China. I truly enjoyed the comfort of the whole setting, the good service, and the tasty food.
