“I finally found the Chinese food I have been craving for several years. Steamed dumplings are tender and filled perfectly, not dry, perfectly moist with a very good dipping sauce. Orange Chicken, perfectly seasoned, moist and tender with the perfect orange sauce. House Lomien is full of perfectly cooked pork, chicken and shrimp. It was top notch. Back Choy is delicious and couldn’t be better. Rachel was the server and also took my order over the telephone. She is exceptionally courteous and thorough, repeating the order to ensure she got it right and making sure all of the condiments were in my bag. This was the best restaurant experience that I’ve had in a long time. The restaurant is small and there are tables if you want to eat in . It was very clean. They deserve the best rating I can give them.”

“Cranberry muffins and cinnamon rolls are amazing!”

“Delicious food. Wonderful tea variety. Nice outdoor seating. Perfect place for an afternoon brunch. Will be back! Roobius Vanilla Chai Latte was great.”

“watched the lady making pizzas on and off her phone in her back pocket and directly to the toppings. bare hands. called from the parking lot and they laughed at me when I asked if it was common practice that they dont wear gloves and she said yes, it goes through a 500 degree oven. like that matters. . after the customer service I'll stick to chain pizza”

“Came for lunch after a long hot day in the sun. We had boneless wings, kids chicken tenders, and the special of the day a pressed Cuban sandwich. Food was delicious! Price was fair! And the server, Carlee was sweet and attentive. She did a great job, especially with us having 5 kids at our table. and we will definitely be back!”

My cheese pizza was one of the best I ever had at Howie's. Keep up the great work guys you deserve these 5 stars 😏”

“Never eaten anything here that wasn’t delicious”

“Consistently excellent food. Convenient online ordering and drive thru window. Only concern is any deep fried chicken dishes (like sweet and sour or honey chicken) the chicken is always tough and rubbery. But sauteed chicken is tender. Over all, one of the better Chinese food places I've eaten at.”

“Food and service was great, second time there we are from Ocala ,. And will definitely be back, great service from Melissa”

“The only reason I give it a 1 is because the Lasagna was good. Otherwise, it would get a 0 because of the way this arrogant owner treats his customers. Aside from being made to wait at the entrance while he clearly noticed us before finally coming over and saying “Whadda ya want?”, it would take too long to describe his confrontational attitude in response to simply asking about the Lasagna for takeout for four people. You also have to know that you will likely be overcharged. The menu says for $1.99, you can get a salad as a side with an entree. We ordered four salads with the Lasagnas and were charged $5.99 for each…a $16.00 overcharge. I don’t know how he stays in business being so rude and dishonest. We will never go back.”

“Everything about our experience was delightful! Daniel was a delight and absolutely gave us some wonderful memories and laughs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
