Everything is good. However, the owner is very sleazy. The tips you leave doesn’t go to the staff, instead the owner keeps it for himself which is against the law.

Authentic Cantonese Chinese food! Great for family dinners and large celebrations. One of my highlights was the sautéed lobster with sticky rice, and honey walnut shrimp.

We recently hosted our Chinese wedding banquet at this restaurant, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
The food was absolutely incredible — authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was cooked to perfection, from the appetizers to the main courses and desserts. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was, and by the end of the night, nearly everyone was asking for take-out boxes to bring home leftovers — that’s how good it was!
The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and celebratory, creating the perfect setting for our wedding. The banquet hall was spacious, clean, and beautifully arranged, allowing everyone to move around comfortably while still feeling close and connected. The restaurant really captured that traditional yet modern Chinese banquet feel that we were hoping for.
The staff were outstanding — friendly, attentive, and extremely organized. They made sure the food came out promptly and stayed perfectly timed with the flow of the evening. From coordinating the table service to accommodating special requests, everything was handled smoothly and with genuine care.
All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say about both the food and the venue. It truly made our special day even more memorable. If you’re looking for a place to host a wedding banquet, family celebration, or any large gathering with authentic Chinese cuisine, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. They delivered a five-star experience in every way.

I grew up in this area and HoWong has always been a favorite to go to. Growing up, my mom brought me here when she heard they had claypot eel rice. The burnt bottom bits were always the best. Crunchy, savory, and just fun to eat when you’re a kid. HoWong is a family run restaurant, and the workers have always welcomed me equally, whether it be for sitdown dimsum, takeout riceboxes, grabbing congee when I’m sick, or having birthday dinners. The atmosphere is always lively, service is great, and I’ve always been satisfied with my experience here.

I’ve always enjoyed the delicious food served at Howong. It’s an honest family business that doesn’t deserve the slander it’s receiving on the internet. The food has always been fresh, clean, and beautifully presented! I would highly recommend enjoying a meal here.

SUPER delicious food!! If you’re looking for GOOD Cantonese classic dishes, this is THE spot. How foolish of people to quickly judge a family business just from one few seconds video. Did you see anyone loading pork into this restaurant? No? Exactly. Instead of cyber bullying and trying to ruin a family business, why don’t you go and help support local family businesses?
