About This Spot
Walking into Ho Ho Gourmet feels like stepping into a familiar, no-frills neighborhood spot where the focus is quietly centered on the food and the rhythm of everyday life. It’s the kind of place that never rushes you but invites a comfortable, unpretentious pace—where chatter comes easily and the hum of conversations fills the air alongside the clatter of dishes. The decor might not claim any spotlight, but there’s a warmth in the steady flow of guests, many of whom seem like regulars settling in for a hearty meal.
Here, the menu is an unassuming treasure trove of Cantonese flavors and American-style Chinese classics, the kind that reward both curiosity and the comfort of familiar choices. Whether you’re savoring a steaming bowl of soup to start or sharing crispy egg rolls that balance perfectly between crunchy and savory, the experience feels grounded in tradition but welcoming to newcomers. Noodles shimmer with a light pan-fried crispiness, shrimp dishes arrive modestly sauced but full of fresh, gentle flavors, and the dim sum selections create moments of discovery, bite by delicate bite.
The sense of community emerges most in the way the place feels busy but never hectic, with an attentive rhythm from kitchen to table. Portions are generous, made for sharing or for lingering meals that stretch into easy conversations. While the dining area might not be elaborate, it’s part of the charm—an earnest backdrop that reminds you this is about the food and connection, not flash.

Guest Reviews
I was craving some Chinese food, and I wanted to give this place a try, as I always see this place full. The building itself is not that great, but this place is a hole in the wall. I got my food to go, and the packaging and the portions were great. The food tasted pretty fresh.
Always love coming here for an affordable and delicious food. They have a lunch special that was so cheap and it comes with a main dish, soup, and an egg roll. Definitely worth it! Their walnut shrimpy and crispy noodles are my favorite! Would definitely recommend to anybody!
I haven't eaten at HoHo Gourmet since it had closed in Bountiful. I wish they would reopen up north. The food was amazing and the portions are huge. The shrimp and egg rolls are delicious. Now that I'm in Salt Lake more often, I will be eating here more.
some of the best Chinese / Cantonese food / dim sum in salt lake city! Love their dim sum and hong kong style noodles.
Last time I went here, the service was horrible. The wait staff now is excellent. The food has always been very good. This time was no exception. My family has their normal items to order...and again, food was great. Glad the staffing has improved. The dining area leaves a lot to be desired...but do not let that hold u back. Give it a try.
I loved the portion they give for the price you pay! The food tasted pretty decent and got plenty of parking space. They do not got refillable drinks in case you don’t like to pay for every soda you drink. I will say the atmosphere is not the best since it’s a pretty simple and old looking establishment, but overall it’s a great place if you want to get your money worth.
Most dishes were extremely tasty! Beef green beans 5/5 amazing flavor, beef was tender and green beans cooked perfect!! Walnut shrimp 5/5 So much shrimp! Tasted fresh, seasoned perfectly and walnut were fresh and crispy! Chefs special Fried tofu shrimp 2/5 - ordered for nostalgia bc it’s honestly so good if made correct but this had no seasoning at all! Even the sauce tasted bland! Should’ve done the salt Baked tofu or calamari instead.. Service 5/5 noticed waiter even spoke Spanish for other customers Portions were large expect to pay $12-20 per entree but they’re huge. I would stick to popular dishes that get reviewed bc that one tofu dish I got was so bad and such a contrast to the other great stuff we ordered.
This is a true hole in the wall gem with home style asian food and very sweet staff. I loved being able to laugh with the workers. I adore the Walnut Shrimp from here. Other dishes we got are the General Tso’s Chicken, Orange Chicken, and a combo plate. The servings are hefty and one dish could easily feed 2-3 people. This place is great for family dinner. The Walnut Shrimp is so heavenly to me. The sauce is creamy and sweet. The shrimp has delicious breading, and the orange slices & cabbage compliment the dish very well. The Orange Chicken was also great. It wasn’t my favorite dish due to a lighter citrus flavor than I expected, but still a great quality dish. Perfectly cooked chicken and the perfect subtle crunch to the breading. The orange slices were candied and were great to eat, skin and all. The General Tso’s Chicken was also very flavorful. I loved the vegetables that seeped their flavors into the chicken as well. It wasn’t very spicy. From the combo plate, there are honorable mentions for the ham fried rice and the low mein noodles, especially the latter. The low mein had a smoky flavor to it that was spectacular. Overall I plan on coming back since I’ve had multiple positive experiences here! It’s a great atmosphere.
