In Toronto we loved ordering chinese takeout from a place called Ho Lee Chow- they had great egg rolls and my fiance loved their Chicken Fried Rice. We live in Clareview area of Edmonton and we'd love to find a new go-to place for our Chinese food (cause you know there's some nights where nothing else will do!). Anyone have any recommendations for a place? Delivery is a bonus but we're also willing to pick it up!

Very authentic, very spicy if you lean that way.

Wed Jul 15 08:00:54 -0700 2009 4758760 14229 anonymoose 1 4860907 I used to order from Wing's on Victoria Trail, but had a bad experience over the Canada Day break. Wok N Roll is OK. There is a takeout place in the shopping centre on Victoria Trail and 137 avenue that was pretty good. But I can't remember seeing it the last time I was there. There is a pan-Asian place (mixed Chinese - Viet-Thai) in the centre where East Side Mario's is that had great soups and noodle dishes. Really liked the spicy soup that seemed mostly Thai in its flavour. But the best Chinese and Viet places on the northside are in the Avenue of Nations are - roughly 101 street to 96 st, between 103 ave and 107 Ave. I really like the little place above the Garden Bakery. Great value. But they only take cash. Wed Jul 15 09:59:06 -0700 2009 4758760 169994 pengcast 1 4863652 Ho Ho's in HUB at the University of Alberta. Great tasting & huge portions for your money. There's a reason why Ho Ho's has a huge lineup between class changes. Note: what I just said applies only to stuff ordered off the menu, not the combo foods under the heating lamps ;) Thu Jul 16 07:35:51 -0700 2009 4758760 230173 dingmah 2 4863858 Not sure they'd want to drive for an hour (depending on traffic) and then have to pay for parking when they could go to Chinatown instead (half hour drive). Unless they were taking the LRT or already are on campus, it's not very convenient.

Sorry.. Fri Jul 17 10:36:41 -0700 2009 4867334 81412 taiphun 5 4875328 I've never even heard of Ho Lee Chow. I'm talking about Ho Ho's on campus at the UofA. Maybe I should take a picture for you when school starts up again. Mon Jul 20 15:43:57 -0700 2009 4867597 230173 dingmah 6 4875563 the OP is talking about HO LEE CHOW.

I remember that radio ad like it was yesterday. No, they are long since closed.

If you're around downtown, you might want to try Double Greeting Restaurant. Wed Jul 22 13:37:52 -0700 2009 4758760 1095898 NsxZero 1 5162552 Thanks guys! I know Ho Lee Chow is typical bad westernized Chinese food but there are just some nights when that's what we NEED, y'know? I will act on your recommendations! Thanks!
