I went to Hoh Won for dinner with friends - on Dutch. We parked our cars at an alley 3 shops away - easy. It was crowded but no queue. The decor & table arrangement were typical of a Chinese restaurant. No big welcome, great smile or formal greeting but service was pleasant & quick. To be fair, we ordered a dish each of our choice - Shangdong Chicken, Salt & Pepper Squid and Stir Fried Garlic Chinese Broccoli plus rice for 3 persons. My goodness, the portions were huge & rice free flow. But we finished every bit, short of scrapping the plates - It was that good especially the chicken. It was cooked the Shangdong style but extra Shangdong sauce was doused over the dish before serving, making it very appetizing. Every table had a pot of tea which was free flow but you had to gesture for refill. Strongly recommended for big eaters. Small eaters, either you bring more friends to share or containers to package leftover.

Approximate cost: $45

Hoh Won is a place to go if you want value. For a mere $11 you get a very generous serving, more so to other Chinese restaurants I know. Their deep fried BBQ beef is really good, so good that my sister is still thinking about it after she left Australia (mind you, she lives in Singapore. So this makes it extra special). The place is abit cramp and service wise, well it's not a five star dining. But, it's a good value, no nonsense eatery.
