Ho Jan brings back memories of a clean Chinatown restaurant in the 80's. I have had dinner here twice. The dishes are authentic Cantonese cooking. The ingredients are sufficiently fresh. The dishes are relatively salty by today's standard, but they are the typical food back in the 80's. This restaurant so lives in the past that it is borderline awesome. I feel like walking in a movie set or a time machine.
As it is the only Chinese restaurant within walking distance (this is an important point as parking is hard and expensive around here), it has good business from both Chinese and non-Chinese.
I normally would have given it 2.5 stars. Being a sucker of nostalgia, solid 3 stars it is.
