I've never had an issue with their service. The food they serve is always amazing. I moved to the complex units across from the restaurant and my wife and I did not know what to expect the first time we tried them. It has become one of our favorite spots and even though we no longer live in the area, we sometimes go out of our way to eat in this place or take out food. Absolutely recommended.

I walked in this evening to pick up food for my family. It was about 5:30 when traffic picks up. Surprisingly there was only two people waiting in line and no one sitting in the dining room. Prices have went up to 2.25, 2.50, 2.75 depending on what you would like. This doesn't surprise me considering inflation. They do have a lunch menu Monday through Friday 5.99 plus tax. All of my food was warm and delicious. I was able to get two large plates with three large scoops of each item I wanted. I also asked for an order (4 count) of wontons. Total was 18.95. Sooo much cheaper for a dinner than other places around. I would come back again for pick up.

Delicious and Reliable Chinese Food! I absolutely love this place! The Chicken Lo Mein, Sesame Chicken, and Beef with Broccoli are my go-to dishes — always flavorful and satisfying. Everything on the menu looks great, and it’s hard to go wrong. Whenever I’m in the area, I make a point to stop by. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

Very Clean, and the staff is friendly. I was HIGHLY impressed by the freshness, the flavors are outstanding. Let's not forget to mention the Generous portions they give you. I live directly across the street from another Ho Mei off of 74th and Washington. I will never go back there. This place is worth driving the extra couple of miles.
