Ding How

One of the best Chinese take out places in the area. Very quick and relatively inexpensive. The food is pretty good. The fried rice is excellent. You may think fried rice is basic, but trust me, other places mess it up. I’ve never eaten there, but they have a decent enough interior. I recommend if you’re in the mood!

Wonderful. This place is great. Good service every time whether delivery or in house. I love the food here. I am never disappointed. I have tried a number of items, BUT I always have to order their hot and sour soup and cold noodles with peanut sauce EVERY SINGLE TIME because they are so good. This is the best Asian restaurant I have found in Maryland. My GO TO place here… and Phở DC in Washington DC are the only places I know I will be very happy every time I order. Plus it is very reasonably priced.

Wow, how interesting… the review I gave a few months ago disappeared! As okay as the food is #1 they don’t make egg rolls #2 they let their children take orders over the phone and they screw them up #3 they don’t check their online ordering…

Ordered delivery — took over 30 – 40 mins.
Food was hot but did not have taste very bland!!! Ordered original beef broccoli, combo fried rice and egg drop soup.
We asked for paper plates and forks even though they knew it was to a hotel… They forgot.
Would not try this place. Prices or standard didn’t break the bank but could have used the $$ on something else

My go to Chinese jump-​off when in Timonium. Sesame Chicken, Lo Mein, Kung Pow Chicken. Plus I just like the name. «How about some Ding?»

My favorite place to get Chinese food in the area closed a few months ago so we hadn’t gotten Chinese in a while. Most of the places in our immediate area had sketchy or no reviews. We were craving Chinese one night so we decided to try this place out, and I’m glad we did. While the sesame chicken and General Tso’s were far too similar (the General Tso’s just being a smidge spicy) they’re both good, and the fried rice is so delicious that I actually crave it (previously I didn’t even think I liked fried rice). The prices are reasonable and on par with other Chinese take-​out places in the area.
The interior of the restaurant isn’t terribly enticing but take out is pretty quick so there’s minimal time spent inside.

We placed an order for delivery. It was delivered in a timely manner. The is why they got one star. Our order was confirmed via an email sent from the restaurant and it quoted a price. When the delivery arrived, the gentleman indicated a price that was $ 8 higher than the emailed price. I called the manager and was informed that I was charged the dinner price. There was no indication of a different price in their mail. The dish in question was a shrimp and cashew dish that was almost entirely water chestnuts in a non description brown sauce with a few over cooked shrimp and a very small number of cashews. We will not be returning to this establishment.

Love this place. Can’t go wrong here. It’s not very big, and not extremely fancy, but it’s decorated nicely and it has a feel of some class with cloth napkins and all of that. Service is spectacular and the food always comes quickly.
They also do great take-​out service.
We went here on Christmas around 4:30 and wow, you can tell how much people like this place. We didn’t have to wait for a table, but by the time we left, people that came in DID have to wait for a table.
I recommend just about anything. The orange chicken is very crispy, and the chicken and broccoli has some of the best brown sauce I’ve tried. Udon with veggies is also a great choice.

First of all, I am certain I will revise my review once I actually get off my winter lazy butt and visit the place. So my review is about the carry out. You know, carry out with delivery optional .it’s 730 and you panic twitter. So I saw this restaurant listed wanted Chinese from a different place. Good twitter decision.
The beef broiled dumplings were just perfect, and an order is very generous, with all the sauces you need.
The Rainbow Chicken– was zesty, hearty with a kick I liked– not bland as sometimes this dish can be, and they have brown rice.
The delivery man looked like a California surfer… friendly, positive… good delivery and prompt.
Since the first entry of this review, I have eaten carry out 4 times Had the crap/​pork dumplings, Hunan chicken, szchwan shrimp and a few others– all tasty and they have brown rice!

First time impression — typical generic American-​style Chinese food.
The food was served hot and had flavor. The Kung Pao chicken was battered and deep fat fried. Maybe it was standard General Tso’s, Orange, or Sesame chicken chunks and they just change the sauce and add peanuts and call it Kung Pao?
My impression of Ding How was that it once had hopes of more business that never came, and now they are trying to scrape by, by keeping their costs down. The place was dark — few lights on. It was mid-​afternoon on Saturday, but the one employee upfront was slowly setting the tables with rumpled, mismatched table cloths. The décor was otherwise nicely appropriate for a sit-​down Chinese place. I was the only one at a table for the hour I was there, although one young, squabbling couple did come in to pick up take-​out.
The menu the waitress brought had the name of a different Chinese restaurant on the cover. Maybe they got a bunch of them when another joint went out of business? In the shadows of one corner was the world’s smallest, saddest sushi bar with boxes stacked behind it.
The price was average for what I ordered, but expensive for what I got.

Good Chinese food at a good price. Prices are reasonable and the menu has all the traditional fare plus a few interesting items that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Delivery came within the promised window and the delivery guy made sure he was at the right house before fetching the food from the car (it was a cold and windy night!). This has become our go-​to for Chinese delivery in the Lutherville-​Timonium area.

Surprisingly good! I’ve been here years ago, and found it just typical generic Chinese. Went here last night– it’s really improved. It’s not perfect– but it’s definetly not your standard-​issue Chinese anymore, in a good way.
The apps were quite standard– fried noodle-​chips w/​little bowl of duck sauce, cream cheese (w/​microscopic crab, I geuss) wontons were tasty, as was spring roll and seafood soup– good, but standard-​issue. One plus– they gave (on request) a nice bowl of really spicy mustard for dipping.
The entrees shined in their saucing, though. We had a big group– we had Hunan tofu– called Homestyle Tofu elsewhere– nice slices of crispy-​soft fried tofu, plenty of fresh broccoli, pea pods, and ‘shrooms, in a very nice salty-​yet-​light sauce; Kung Pao shrimp– sweet yet not cloying, nicely salty with soy, nice chili kick; plenty of medium but juicy shrimpy; lots of water chestnuts and peanuts — oddly, no green veggies; Orange chicken– nicely fried chunks of real white meat chicken, nicely light yet sweet and spicy sauce, a few pieces of fresh broccoli; sweet and sour shrimp– fresh, heavily-​breaded but in a good way butterflied shrimps, tossed with some pineapple, carrot, and green pepper chunks, served with a basic sweet and sour sauce on the side; Teriyaki chicken– full breast, real chicken, with nice sauce– but otherwise plain, served on bed of raw chopped cabbage.
Overall– food was really fresh, hot, and sauces were spot on. Only real miss was Teriyaki chicken– it needed a few more veggies thrown in to make it interesting. Or at least sauté the cabbage, add some carrot slices or something!
Big plus– BYOB!!! We hit the Graul’s wine shop a few stores down, picked up a six pack of Natty Premium. Mmmmm.
Setting iteslf– strip-​mall but very nicely decorated small restaurant; some booth-​style seating along the walls, tables out in middle; we were the only eat-​in people, but they had lots and lots of carry-​out folks coming through. Some humor in the décor, too– nice little animé regarding the bathroom location was amusing. :)
