Great selection of typical (kosher) options. Primarily take out except in warm months

Updating previous review to say how good the curry beef triangles and egg Foo Yong (sp?) are; actually never liked the later until I had it from Holy Chow. Everything else good as well ?

The only thing that's better then the food here is the service. It's made fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. I'm very impressed.

This food was disgusting and overpriced. I ordered white rice, white rice with brocoli and chickenbwith brocoli. The chicken AND brocoli were drenched in a disgustingly sweet and thick sauce with a jelly like consistency. The best part of that meal was the almost flavorless white rice. The rice was good, buts that's all that came just a little bit to my liking. For my order, I paid almost 50 bucks! I DO NOT RECOMMEND!@

Massive sodium overload drenched in molasses-like sauces you could mistake for motor oil. The ne plus ultra of kosher American Chinese food.

Wow! Walked in to place an order and the was a young man at the counter on his laptop. He didn't look up when I walked in, no greeting, but I asked what the wait time was since I was on my lunch break. Without his eyes leaving his computer screen he said "10 minutes". I browsed the menu and I asked if the fried wonton were filled with anything. Again, still while looking at his computer he mumbled something unintelligible. I asked him to repeat himself, which he eventually did. I put the menu back and stood in front of him waiting...and waiting...and waiting to place my order. Nothing! I just stood there. Another customer came in and the the employee got up and called for someone in the back to come out front. A pleasant young lady came out AND WAITED ON THE SECOND CUSTOMER! I thought at least the young man would now take my order. Nope! He mumbled "sorry" and WENT BACK TO HIS COMPUTER!! I said forget it! I will go somewhere else and stated what terrible customer service they have. I drove across the parking lot to Ben Yehuda where I was promptly greeted, placed my order and was given nice hot pizza, a friendly smile and a thank you! Suffice it to say, Holy Chow lost a customer. I was happy to spend my money at Ben Yehuda!

We just had the BEST Chinese meal from holy chow (to go)! The steamed veggie dumplings were huge! The egg drop soup delicious. The orange beef was a hit with my youngest - and the order was so large we all had some and have more for another meal. My chicken with veggies in garlic sauce was spicy and enjoyable. The vege egg rolls were a bit greasy for me, but my oldest loved it. And husband liked the sesame chicken. All in all, amazing! Especially for a really busy night. We’ll get this again soon bc it was so good!

Amazing customer service, and they can make most dishes gluten free and use substitute ingredients!

The soup was excellent, the service was quick and friendly, the price for lunch special was reasonable.

The fried rice was gross.

The chicken with mixed vegetables was not very good because the chicken is not velveted well and the brown sauce doesn't taste so good.

This place is Kosher, so I guess that might explain some of the differences. That is why I gave it an extra star.

I strongly suggest that the Holy Chow staff go to Brother Chinese in Wheaton, order the same food, and compare the two. If any staff are non-kosher, they should do a taste test between how Chinese-American food generally tastes and how Holy Chow tastes.

I really wanted to like this place.
