I love this restaurant. Very reasonable prices, the roasted duck has so much flavor, bbq pork was delicious and lo mein is just as good. I had a great experience especially that the food was quickly served and hot. Will definitely come back here again! This is not the typical American chinese a la carte restaurant that I'm used to,...

Don't be fooled by the outside of this place, or it's location. If you are in search of superb roast duck/pork get to Din Ho, you will not be disappointed. Extremely authentic & very reasonable prices. Din Ho = BBQ done right :)

Living in Shanghai, we have a real appreciation of authentic Chinese food, and Din Ho is by far the best we've come across outside of China. We've been going to dinner there for years, usually with a group, but often just as a couple, and it's always top notch. We love the food (our favorite dish is the walnut shrimp)... More

At the recommendation of a friend, we visited Din Ho recently and were very pleased at the quality and quantity of food. The vegetable dish we ordered, water spinach, was outstanding, as was the mixed seafood platter. The Chinese barbecue was also good, as was the hot and sour soup. Portions are large and on our visit the service was... More

The food is great and a little different than it is in Missouri. Prices are a little high but it was worth every bite.

I like this place, the food is authentic, so authentic that if I was able to speak Chinese probably I could extract better value and even more tasty things at this place. They have roasted duck and I dont think it is the best thing on the menu; but any of their freshly prepared dishes are tasty, warm and abundant.... More

The servings of the foods are big, so make sure to order only foods that you can finish. The place is little bit old and worn out but service is good. Wide variety of Chinese foods priced reasonably good. Oh and make sure to read your fortune cookies after the dinner !!!

They gave us nasty/old foods, but charged so much money for it. Two years before that wasn't bad at all. We won't come back there any more, no.......no thanks, even free foods, because we don't want to eat dog foods again.
