Since this place move to its current location and is no longer a buffet, the quality of the food has improved dramatically. This is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner. The shrimp fried rice which comes with the lunch specials has medium to large size shrimp come on when you would expect popcorn sized shrimp in fried rice, so that is a nice bonus. The staff is always friendly and of the several meals that I have tried, I haven’t found anything that I didn’t like.

Good food but expensive for what you get. The menu is much more expensive than the ones posted online. They seek to go upscale but are nothing special.

Really great food. Was passing through in business and Unilocaled a close Asian restaurant. Read a few reviews and chose this over the local PF Changs; I’m so glad I did. Being a Sunday night, it was pretty quiet but service was top notch. Very attentive manager and server who checked in often. Enjoyed everything I had and the dinner entrée came with a salad and soup for a great price. May have to come back here before I leave to buy a bottle of the house ginger dragon sauce.

Small place, very friendly, and great for take out. We had the fried calamari, hot and sour soup, which I could have just had that because it was Delicious. I also got the seafood feast with lobster meat, scallops, shrimp, and squid with vegetables in chefs special sauce. It was good, sauce was a little watery for me but the flavor was good. Can’t wait to go back and try something else. There were so many things to choose from on the menu. My little boy had the chicken teryriaki and it was so much food for 6.95 he couldn’t finish, which is unusual! Overall great experience

Great food, friendly staff, reasonably priced. At first glance it looks like a small hole in the wall, but opens up to a clean and pleasant venue. The menu is large enough to accommodate the even the most pickiest of eaters, even offering chicken nuggets and burgers for kids. I ordered the Bistro Orange Chicken and regrettably only ordered one plate… needless to say, it was great!

This is the best Chinese food in Jackson, It is clean fresh and delicious. Don’t let the old Ding How that was on I-55 scare you off. Trust me, it is not the same place. Staff are polite and attentive, Food is outstanding and happy hour too.

My husband and I love Ding How! Food is always on point. Dinner entrees come with choice of soup(egg drop is out of this world good) and salad with a homemade ginger dressing. And the entrees are huge! I usually have enough for lunch the next day. Service is always awesome. Very polite servers. We like the gyoza as an app or the cheese wontons. Always a good choice for dinner or lunch. Even my mom was satisfied(she’s hard to please sometimes ;))

Excellent Chinese food! Visiting here from Philadelphia, and this place I would visit often if it was located where I live. No MSG, authentic flavors, very polite and caring staff. Can’t miss.

This is the BEST Chinese food in the Jackson metro! No buffet just fresh, delicious made to order dishes. Generous portions, egg drop soup –very traditional flavor and small salad — just iceberg and thousand island type dressing, too. The service is great — they are very nice here. The place is clean and comfortable. I was surprised to be the only table there at lunch but I’m here to spread the word. They do great take-out and so convenient to just hop in and pick up my phone order. My husband likes the beer selection and he tends to be picky about that. Mongolian Beef was superb(makes PF’s taste like frozen food) and the Kung Pao is great, too. Not too hot but just the right spice. The fried rice and steamed rice are both cooked perfectly — we splurged and did the fried wonton app — soo creamy and good but made it hard to finish lunch… will be back and will bring friends!

This place has excellent food! Everything is authentic with obvious fresh ingredients. hot and sour soup is so full of flavor. Even the steamed rice is flavorful. Service is exceptional! I am so glad we stopped in to give this place a try. I am actually a little surprised there aren’t many reviews. Give this place a try and you won’t regret it!

Very friendly owner. Got takeout: Kung pao chicken and satay and it was perfect. The Kung pao came with soup and rice and was very filling.

It’s not a classy place… It’s not a preppy place. It’s down home easy get in easy get out, no frills attached Good Food. Cheap with good quantities nice Chinese Thai place. I go there at least 3 – 4 times a month. If you are hungry and don’t want to impress any one but just eat and sip a wine or a beer… Then friends this is the place to go.

Very relaxing atmosphere. It has a full bar as well. The servers were attentive and helpful. The food was fresh, well-cooked, and seasoned to perfection. The prices varied. The presentation of the food was modern. Overall, I’d give it a B+. I wasn’t too thrilled with the balloons hanging from the ceiling.

Have seen this place in passing but just got around to stopping in — and glad we did. What a surprise… the exterior does not even hint as to the nice, minimalist, white tablecloth dining atmosphere. But that wasn’t the only surprise — the food was really good. We had an appetizer — crab wontons — and they were delicate, tasty and just delicious. Our entrees came with soup(we choose egg drop) and salad. The egg drop soup was probably the best we’ve had with a nice broth base — not the typical starchy, sticky liquid often served elsewhere. The salad was simple with a very tasty dressing that we both enjoyed. We shared a combination fried rice(beef, chicken & shrimp) with our entrees, but I could have made a meal off of just it. However, if I had, I would have missed out on the wonderful lemon chicken. My husband had the hibachi steak and was very pleased as well — which is no small feat. Needless to say, we walked out with to go boxes, but were happy at the prospect of revisiting the tasty meal. Service was attentive and friendly as well. This find was just in time — my husband and I had almost given up on good Chinese food in the area. We will be back… soon!

What’s in a name? Well… quite a lot. I avoided this place from the start simply because of the name. I had more than one bad experience with the old Ding How on I-55 and figured this was just another incarnation of a Chinese buffet slop-house. I was wrong. It’s the same family, but a totally different ethos. This is good food. This is real food. This is food made by people who care about ingredients, tradition and quality. I’ve dined her for lunch, dinner and Sunday dim sum and I’ve never been even close to dissatisfied. Actually, I’ve been pleased with each and every experience. The fried whole fish is a real treat and is made in a very difficult way that takes more explanation than I have room for here, but take my word… it’s fantastic. The Saturday and Sunday dim sum menu is expansive and well thought out. Outside of NYC, I’ve never had chicken feet and duck feet that were better. So put away any preconceived notions you might have arising from the unfortunate name choice and give Ding How a try. Once you’ve had real Asian food, you’ll start wincing when you pass one of those buffet joints. Bön Appetit! — Tom

The dim sum is exciting, especially the chance to eat chicken feet, which I don’t think you can do anywhere else in Jackson. They only serve the dim sum on weekends, though. My wife says that she thought the woman managing the cart was pushy. I was good with it, though. Be careful, because like ordering sushi, you can very quickly pile up a sizeable tab ordering dim sum plates.

hey Duan C, I appreciate the shout out. The lunches are smaller portions, but pretty cheap, so it’s a good way to try the menu out(order 2 of ‘em at a time). On Sat & Sundays native asians come in for the dim sum brunch/lunch(which is always a good sign of authenticity). If you like Dim Sum they are getting pretty nice crowds on the weekends. They roll the carts table to table, show you the dishes and you take it if you want. They have large 7 – 8 person round tables with lazy suzans to go family style on your dishes, which is like your own family buffet really. Everybody gets a little of each dish they want. All the food is very fresh and healthy tasting. No MSG, low oil, not even any Soy Sauce on the table. If you ask for Soy Sauce they’ll bring you the low sodium kind. They are aiming for healthier, fresher Chinese. The Bourbon chicken is not bad for dark meat. The Kung Po & Hot Pepper Chicken is decent too. Good tempura. One of the best things I’ve had is the Lemon Chicken and I don’t use the lemon sauce that comes on the side but ask for one of their 58 sauces. They offer an «8 fruit sauce» which is a yogurt-ry sauce made from 8 fruits. Your choice of soups are«Spicy» or «Not-Spicy». Rather than just chinese they have a few dishes from Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Korea & Singapore. It’s not a true«Asian Fusion» place like Pan Asia tries to be, but they have fresh options worth exploring.

I can’t believe I’m the first one doing the review on this place and Herm S. is the one that put me on to it?! lol!!! Go figure! Overall, it is the same family that owned the Ding How Buffet on I-55, but after that, they relocated to Old Canton, in a smaller place. Actually it is the old Good Time Deli or Sammy’s location. We got take out, we ordered Chicken Singapore Mei Fun, Vegetarian Noodle Soup, and Beef Broccoli. The Singapore Mei Fun and Beef Broccoli were excellent. Portions could have been better, I was really disappointed with the portions. The only downer was my Vegetarian Noodle Soup. I keep looking for someone that can give me a soup like Saigon on Lakeland! No one in the metro area, does a better noodle soup. I gave Ding How a try, but Saigon still holds the crown for asian soups in Jackson, Mississippi. Very clean location, staff was nice, food was good, besides the noodle soup. Other than that, we will return to give them more business in the future.
