Ho Ho Kafe

This place is a gem hidden in Chinatown. It is my favorite place to grab breakfast and lunch. It makes you feel at home and the informality of it makes it really special. The grill sits 5 feet away from you and “pops” (that’s what regulars call him) turns around and asks “do you want an egg on top?”. My fiancé asked me where I wanted to eat for my birthday, I said Ho Ho Kafe. “Momma” (that’s also what regulars call her) is the sweetest lady and her children are really attentive. I was working abroad for 2 years, came back and she remembered me. This is where I wanna spend my money. The food is fantastic and inexpensive, large portions, good bang for the buck. People criticize the dirtyness and that the walls are dirty and what not. If you’re looking for something posh this is not the spot. If you’re looking for something homey, this is the spot. The fridge full of sodas, veggies, meats and random stuff give it a unique atmosphere and it’s always popping, especially on weekends. I have never written a review before, this is my first and probably my last. Just wanted to show my appreciation for what this place means to me.

The sign outside says the best breakfasts in town and I would not argue with that. Lunches are also terrific. Not a place for Everyone as some may not find the location or ambience to their liking. Some may also question the cleanliness of the place but I tend to not be too bothered by that. Pork steak breakfast or lunch is as good as it gets.
