In Short – This is a charming place that diverges slightly from your classic, homey Chinese restaurant. There's an enormous television set in the east corner of the restaurant.. The large space is usually packed, yet unhurried. The hot and sour soup comes in a mammoth bowl. The prawns with special salt prove crunchy. The Chinese beef will gently dissolve in your mouth with hardly any assistance from teeth.

So yum and open on holidays!!
by CSMobileUser4 at Citysearch
Its Thanksgiving and my personal tradition is chinese food. I live off Riverside and of course nothing is open. I found only one chinese restaurant open today-Din Ho. All I can say is... yum! This place is delicious. We got the hot and sour soup, chicken with cashew nuts,Pan fried beef flat noodles, and egg rolls. The egg rolls may be the best I've ever had in my life. The pan fried flat noodles were ridiculously greasy, but oh so good. The chicken with cashew nuts was surprisingly light, not greasy and very very good. The hot and sour soup was rocking as well. Best chinese food I've had in Austin to date. I will definitely be driving the 10 miles up north from riverside for this yummy take out again.

Best authentic Chinese in town
by sroell at Citysearch
I am Chinese and searched forever to find good, authentic Chinese food when I got to Austin until I discovered them. Yes, the restaurant is dingy, but it's gotten a face lift lately and there have been efforts over the years to clean it up a bit. Yes, the wait can be a while and there is no comfortable waiting area, but the throngs of Chinese families eating happily there contributing to your wait - isn't that a good thing, really? So time your visit... if it's around lunch/dinnertime particularly on Fri or Sat, expect a 20-30 min wait. Yes, the service can be terrible depending on which server you have, but the food is usually brought out quickly (albeit usually not all at once).
The true reason for visiting though is the food... Here are our top 10 dishes in no particular order (bear in mind we have 2 toddlers, so nothing too crazy made this list :))...
- Won ton noodle soup
- Snow pea leaves
- Roast duck
- Char siu/BBQ pork
- Sizzling beef
- Walnut shrimp
- Sesame beef
- Fried pork chop
- Beef or combination fried flat noodle
- Combination crispy noodle
Save room if you can for the side benefit - dessert next door at Coco's :)
- Pros: Fabulous food
- Cons: If you're a service snob, go elsewhere :)

Bad service
by CSMobileUser at Citysearch
We had reservation and we still had to wait 30mins. Then by the time we got our food our bill came with it. Then on top of that we had 2 adults 2 child and a 5 month old and were charged gratuity. When I asked he said your baby counted. Never knew they charge per person and you have to pay for the food as well. Our overall experience as bad. It as dirty and over crowded. Half the time they don't understand what your asking for. So we only had the table for 30 mind and basically they kicked us out.....don't eat there I will never eat there!
