I dined at Ho Ho last month. I was not pleased with its food. Its service was somewhat OK.

There are two Chinese BBQ restaurants, Ho Ho Chinese BBQ and First Chinese BBQ, in Austin.

In terms of dining environment, Ho Ho Chinese BBQ has a nicer dining room and better furniture, while First Chinese BBQ is little bit run-down. In terms of services, the waiters in both restaurants are very friendly, though the servers at Ho Ho are more professionals.

In order to do a fair comparison of the two, I ordered the same items, BBQ pork, roasted duck & crispy roasted pig from both restaurants. The prices for these items of both restaurants are about the same. First Chinese BBQ’s crispy roasted pig’s skin was more crispy and tender than Ho Ho Chinese BBQ’s. Ho Ho Chinese BBQ, however, served better roasted duck and BBQ pork. I also found First Chinese BBQ use a lot of food colour and MSG in its BBQ pork. Between the two, I would pick Ho Ho Chinese BBQ for my next dining for Chinese BBQ in Austin.
