“ Been ordering from Din Ho for decades and dined in a handful of times. We have never had a bad experience. Absolute best place for Chinese food in Lake Forest. 5/5 stars. EDIT: Reading prior reviews from six months months ago, it seems like they had some kitchen change over issues. Seems like they're dialed back in now. FYI. ”
“ It was a great restaurant! I would recommend this place. The place clean, organized, and the atmosphere was quite. We ate there on a Thursday around 4:30 pm. Place was not busy at all. Our waiter was very honey, friendly, professional, and funny. He made us laugh quite a few times. He made us feel very welcome. The food was also really good. Even though they gave us some soup on the house (Don’t remember what kind) but I couldn’t eat, I did not like. But it was just a personal preference, my wife and her friend loved it. The other plates were awesome. My deluxe fried rice came with chicken, shrimp, and beef. It was delicious. We enjoyed our time there, the waiter was very attentive. The restaurant it’s located in a plaza on Trabuco Rd and Lake Forest Dr. Very convenient. And you get fortune cookies and regular delicious cookies at the end. ”
“ This Chinese restaurant’s Walnut Shrimp is superb, with a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The elegant ambiance makes it perfect for family dinners or gatherings with friends. ”
“ Found this place as it's in same shipping center as my Littles orthodontist. I needed a place to have supper while my little was at a pre-thanksgiving party with school friends. From the outside it's a very unassuming location that if you were not looking your eye would just pass over. Upon entering, there were several customers obviously waiting for take-out orders. The rest of the restaurant was about half full and we didn't have to wait at all to be seated. The maitre d took no time at all getting us a table and then immediately taking out drink orders. The atmosphere is nicely done and the authentic Chinese music playing subtlety in the background created a very cool and relax atmosphere. The booth we were seated at, which align the walls, were comfortable without being cramped or to hard. There are four-chair tables in the center of the restaurant with real linen napkins. The art work and colors also lend to a pleasant and comfortable experience. After a good 10 min was back, having provided ample time to review the menu for what we wanted. No sooner had he left with our order and the soup, sweet & mustard and Chinese dipping crackers arrived. As we grazed through the appetizers at a leisurely pace, our entries arrived. The two dishes we ordered were Sweet & Sour Pork and the House Special Beef. The first thing you notice is that these are not small portions by any means. One entree could easily feed two people with some left over. Since it was just me and my dinning companion, we decided a family style would allow both of us to try everything. This ended up being an excellent idea as both dishes were superior. The flavor for both was exactly what the doctor ordered. Savory and delicious just the way you expect excellent Chinese food to be. A bit from each had my eyes closed and my saliva glands working overtime. We took our time and enjoyed the ambiance and the fabulous meal. It was an excellent dining experience and at the end the price blew us both away. I was expecting a bill that was far less than one should expect for the atmosphere and food we had just enjoyed, and in looking at my companion, we started to laugh, as if some small miracle had just happened. Add all this to the fact that the staff were friendly, pleasant and efficient and I would say that if you have not eaten at Din Ho, then your are doing yourself a disservice. This is a great place! ”
“ I really enjoyed their chicken chow mein. I also had the plain fried rice which was only 2.50, egg drop soup and fried wontons, which came with my lunch and they were all yummy, as well. The wontons were served with sweet-and-sour sauce, and the sauce had a nice little kick, but not too much of a nice little kick. I usually don’t like those little kicks, but this time it was really good and I even ordered extra and added some to my fried rice. I dipped my fried wontons in the sweet-and-sour sauce, too, and that tasted really good! The egg drop soup was filling and flavorful, as well. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was more attractive than most Chinese restaurants I’ve been to. ”
“ Fabulous warm and cozy. Nancy is the best she always made our family and friends feel like family. We miss having Christmas Eve dinner there. Much love Nancy ”
