| - Looking for variety, sizeable portions, and a casual neighbourhood atmosphere? This is your place. Nothing fancy in food or décor, Ho Garden is all about basic HK style café offerings. From congee to baked rice, to Hainanese chicken and rice to wonton noodles...they have it all! You'll be quickly greeted and directed to an available table, and the waitress will hand you a menu and today's copy of Sing Tao newspaper (free! Yours to keep). Nothing stands out from the menu, the tea is alright, and there is nothing much to write home about (but there's always the opportunity to Yelp about it).
If you don't like slightly run-down café settings and no service, please AVOID coming here - you'll ruin your own mood and have to write a disappointing review. This place is about serving the basics at a convenience, offering a place to read the paper and watch TV (two channels, all the time!), and keeps it affordable for everyone in the neighbourhood. Handymen, contractors, and construction workers are often seen catching their lunch break here, and even those that work nearby will drop in for lunch.
Really the main things they've got going are portion size, variety, and price tag. If I'm in the area and looking for a quick food fix, I'm here.
