Reviews
I love this place I have eaten here for years when traveling through Arkansas. The wonton soup is like no other I have had. The soup has snow peas, cabbage, onions, and large delicious wontons. The owner is very proud to tell you that they use fresh chicken broth they make themselves, not the canned stuff other places use. I always get the combo plates which come with main dish, ham fried rice, and an egg roll. The Kung pao chicken is one of my favorites. The chicken on a stick is a great appetizer. Give this little place a try you won't be disappointed.
I am giving this a 4-star rating for uniqueness, as you will see below. We were driving west with three dogs in the car. Decided to stop in Forrest City for the night and found a motel that would accept us and our pack. Since it was too hot to leave the dogs in the car, and inconsiderate to others to leave them in the room, we had no choice but to have dinner in our room. A little research brought Ho Ho Chinese to our attention. A little more research showed they had an unusual dish, a St. Paul sandwich, and another, Potatoes and Beef. We couldn't resist. Turns out that take-out counter was rather chaotic. But only moderate patience was necessary to survive the bumbles. After the moderate delay, I emerged with some wonderful smelling food and hurried back to the room. The St. Paul Sandwich is an Egg Foo Young patty on a hamburger bun, with sandwich toppings such as lettuce, tomato, etc.. According to Wikipedia (yes, that Wiki, you can look it up), the St. Paul Sandwich is a regional specialty in St. Louis. Lucky for us it found its way to Arkansas. The patty was moist and tender with crisp edges. The bun was soft and fit the patty well. The combination was tasty, delightful, and totally unusual in most Chinese American restaurants. The Potatoes and Beef with, as the name implies, mostly potatoes with a generous amount of beef. It was covered in a rich beef gravy that didn't seem particularly Asian, but it was tasty, filling, and different. We really enjoyed our meal and were delighted to find an unusual. I strongly suggest you stop by and try a St. Paul Sandwich. You can't just find them everywhere.
Great family owned spot. It's been here for years and doesn't disappoint. The vegetable lo mein was packed with flavor and vegetables. There's enough for food for 2-3 portions. Mrs. Lee was sweet.
