About Ho Wah
Ho Wah is a Chinese restaurant on Railway St in Antrim, with a sit-in dining area laid with tablecloths and table mats that suits lunches and birthday meals as well as single diners. A Gluten Free Chicken Fried Rice sits on the menu, giving anyone avoiding gluten a version of the kitchen's fried rice rather than a workaround. Fried rice runs through the order book more widely, in special and chicken versions, alongside chow mein dishes such as Singapore and chicken chow mein. Curries form another strand, from chicken fillet curry to Malaysian curry, and they are commonly taken with a side of noodles or chips. Sweet and Sour Chicken, beef in black bean sauce and chicken balls fill out the main list, with Vegetable Spring Roll among the starters. The restaurant opens Monday to Sunday and closes on Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Opinion splits sharply, with the chicken fillet curry the item longtime regulars name most often, praised alongside "enormous" spring rolls and the sweet and sour king prawn at one birthday meal. Close behind is the welcome: several describe staff as lovely, friendly and quick to seat and serve, with huge portions, and one household says they have ordered for eight years and now go nowhere else. An equal share of reviewers, though, report a decline. Fried rice draws the most complaints, called bland and cold, with one diner throwing out a chicken fried rice and chicken balls uneaten, while others call a Malaysian curry inedible and a Singapore chow mein watery noodles in yellow colouring. One reviewer says the curry sauce was thick and not all the chicken was breast meat, and another reports being sickened on opening a chow mein. Delivery accounts include food arriving freezing and spilled, plus what one caller describes as cheek over the phone.

“Sat in one time, got two portions beef black bean no veg and fried rice, 2 cokes £50. Mad. Delivery service was fine for a while after now it’s absolutely terrible, they knock, run away and never call, even though it’s paid for, then give verbal over the phone when contacted. food always comes freezing and thrown together spilled. Owner gives nothing but cheek, wouldn’t waste my money on it again, far better Chineses in Antrim.”

“Now I usually love the food out of this place but this has made me turn a corner. Sickened when I opened it. My opinion, I love the brown chicken in a chow main. By god I dunno what use handed me there. Sorry but will be the last time im here.”
