"on a trip to vegas, my wife and I tried a dimming room with the small old lady who pushes the car and everything. Surprisingly, she also loved the place and the concept after accidental attempts of chicken feet. (even more surprising that she even remembers it! she was hammered! according to the underground dim-sum network here in tampa (not really a thing, this place has good dim-sum. just not a little old lady with a car. that would be the only thing missing, because the hoho lacks nothing else! we only ordered from the menu dim sum, but they have a complete regular menu plus a hot pot menu! next time! I love hot pot! we had dizzyed and garnel noodles and fried garnelen puffballs and an ingenious bark soup and a fried noodle dish with seafood in an oyster sauce. the last 2 were full courts large enough to share with 2 3 people (or more if everyone wanted only a total size portion. it was all so good! service was also great, they began to bring out the dishes very soon after the order, and it was nice to bring them out as everyone was ready to wait for all at once, so if they closed their eyes I think they could only imagine the small old lady who was walking around the car. all very friendly. the place itself is not in a really large area, and the building in which it is was also a foolish sketch. (oddly, the building strip had 3 Asian restaurants, a Persian restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and a Mexican food truck, so it was like a mecca of good food. but the hoho was clean and beautiful on the inside. I'll tell them I sent you. that will not help anyone, and they will not know who I am, even if you explain it, but shoot it."

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."
