Very friendly greeting. This is a diamond in the rough. It was my birthday, and I was hearing great things about their food. They made suggestions as far as their top sellers. We had one and picked a few of our favorites. We didn’t have to wait long but I imagine if there was a line, timing changes but it would be well worth the wait! Every dish was wow. Super fresh and not drenched in sauces but just enough for the fantastic flavor. I have been to many Chinese restaurants in a lot of different locals and of course SF. But this food was spectacular! Highly recommend! They do a lot of take out too. Get the wings appetizer! Wow and wow The pic doesn’t do justice as I took it after we ate. Fresh vegetables!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

As someone who formerly worked in a Chinese restaurant this restaurant had a lot of tasty dishes! We tried the walnut shrimp, salt and pepper squid (really crispy dough) and pan-fried Hong Kong chow mein (not commonly found in many restaurants so this was a nice surprise). Portion sizes were generous and flavor was good too. Would definitely recommend!

The first time I went to Ho Wah was late last year and I've gone a few times again since then. I love supporting local businesses and this place definitely deserves the love. The food is great and the staff is always kind and respectful towards me. This has become a go to spot for me and my friends when we're in Marina and often a place we crave when thinking of dining out. Their salt and pepper wings are definitely a must order item and I'm glad our server Kyle recommended them the first time I went, because I order it often now.
