Leonard just about has everything covered on his review below. I've been a regular at New Ho for about 10 years now, rarely ever going before 'it is time' -- post-bar between 2:30 and 4am.
What they say about the late night menu is true. You get all of your favorite New Ho dishes served with rice for a fraction of the regular menu price.
My favorites include:
- Spicy squid: a must for a starter, the perfect blend of deep fried, spice, and salt. Party in my mouth.
- Hunan chicken/beef on chow mein noodle: a spicy symphony of spicy meat of your choice with onions and green pepper served on a crispy bed of egg noodles.
- General tsao chicken: another spicy and sweet dish of lightly breaded chicken, best served on a bed of rice.
- Lemon chicken: who says bright yellow sauce is bad for you?
- Sweet and sour chicken balls: my dish of choice whenever I feel in a 'damn I wanna be white' mood. An excellent ratio of chicken to batter, deep fried to crisp perfection.
- Chicken and green bean (in black bean sauce): probably my favorite dish. This is an awesome display of greasy green beans and chicken stir fried in a black bean sauce. I think that the beans are flash-fried in oil because a vegetable can't be this greasy without outside influence.
Easily the best spot in Chinatown to get late night food. They also deliver, but the food isn't as good (especially the squid). However, items like the Hunan noodle is even better the morning after.
