Don’t expect much, but for what it is it’s a solid spot. Quick, cheap and relatively good on the right day.

the perfect hole-in-the-wall: cheap, tasty, (relatively) healthy. I got the $5 singapore noodles with curry chicken, it was great

food was surprisingly fast and cheap, i thought maybe the noodles would be greasy and taste cheap, but nope these were actually very high quality noodles. this spot is a life saver for living in the area. tofu is extremely soft but the flavor was good enough for me to forgive it. i added some of my own vegetables and sauce to this and had it for lunch and dinner and had a great time. do not be foolish and live here while being ignorant of ding ho.

They only take cash, rude did not make eye contact with me, their noodles in front of me and giggled. Saying “no English!” Sad I wanted to try the food.

I absolutely love this place. It's everything I grew up with in my hometown's hood (from Oakland, California): hearty, working class, Chinese fast food. Yeah, it's quantity over quality—but don't get it twisted. For a $5 combo, you can carb load and stack up your favorite protein or vegetable. Add a little extra, and for $7, double down and get twice as many toppings filled to the brim. Trust me. It's that good.
Cash only; no indoor seating, just two stools outside. Owner(s) is/are great because they can speak in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin (maybe other dialects too). Buffet style; great when you're on the go. Pro tip: come early if you want your food piping hot. If you must arrive near closing, some dishes may be sold out but there's almost always leftovers to go around.
Moral of the story: Ding Ho's got some of the best, affordable, comfort food in Boston's Chinatown. Whether you're a college student looking to eat outside of a dining hall or in the workforce trying to eat on a budget (or anyone in between), please visit!! I definitely will.

As a vegetarian, I went with the small combo ($5), where you can pick two dishes. I chose the rice noodles and tofu gravy.
Honestly, my expectations were low given the price — but I was pleasantly surprised! The food was very tasty, not oily, and (bonus!) no soy (atleast I couldn’t taste it and thats how I prefer), which I really appreciated.
The noodles were cooked well, and the tofu was surprisingly flavorful. The portion is decent — enough if you’re not super hungry. Next time, I’ll go for the large combo ($7); that should be more filling for a full meal.
Overall, great value and I’ll definitely be coming back.

This is a Chinatown stable that has prevailed the gentrification and the overflow of privileged wealth in the city. This place feeds anyone and everyone. From low income families to grandmas & grandpas to poor college students. Spend your money here.
3 years later I have to edit my review and emphasize all my points here because Ding Ho has been gaining lots of social media attention due to the whole “omg look what I found in Boston” content creation saturation.
Ding Ho has stood the test of time and held me down during my childhood and my adult years. I hope they continue to do so. This is a Chinatown staple that represents our culture and our resistance to Boston gentrification.
