  • New Ho King Delivers, it seems to be their claim to fame for UofT students since they offer free delivery to U of T. However the delivery charge was only a dollar when we ordered and so few Chinese Restaurants deliver, so instead of picking up at the usual Swatow or Yeuh Tung, we rolled the dice with New Ho King! The good: At 9 pm on a Friday night they delivered within 40 minutes, and the driver was genuinely appreciative of his tip! The food was so hot we had trouble lifting the containers from the bag! The Cantonese Chow Mein was good but needed more sauce and tastier sauce to be great, but had generous portions of chicken, BBQ pork, squid, shrimp and veggies. The great: Szechuan string beans with (or without) ground pork was delicious and generous with the meat. Very flavourful and beans still had crunch. Deep fried squid in spicy salt had more batter than we expected but it was light and the squid was very tender and the spices were tasty. Rice noodles with beef and black bean sauce - the container felt like it weighed 5 lbs! Super generous portion, and if you have ever had this dish before, you know that it is supposed to have a smokey charred taste that I can't explain, but this dish had it and made hubby crazy happy. Also was generous with black beans which is important for black bean sauce! The weird and terrible: After so many dishes that were good or great, the General Tso was frighteningly bad! It tasted like dense, tough and dry chunks of chicken in a mystery BBQ sauce, and that sauce was terrible! The surprise: Sweet and sour pork is my test dish for every Chinese restaurant I try. We were confused when we opened the container for New Ho King's Sweet and Sour Pork because A) it was brown not neon red from ketchup like we are used to, and B) it was filled with giant chunks of fresh pineapple and long clear strips of noodles? (I still don't know what those things were, they were clear, crunchy and about 4" long, not much taste) At first we were frightened but tasting it, the dish was great, more on the sour side than sweet, the sweet was mostly the pineapple, but as long as we didn't think of it as sweet and sour pork it was delicious! Giving New Ho King four stars as long as I never order that General Tso ever again!
