Many people are surprised to find Ding How in the midst of Fells Point, Baltimore's trendy singles scene. This old-fashioned Chinese restaurant is an oasis on Broadway's otherwise over-stimulating stretch. For more than a decade, patrons have sought refuge in Ding How's brightly lit dining room and high-backed bamboo chairs. Many stay for awhile, ordering multiple courses and rounds of umbrella-garnished drinks. Just because it's old-fashioned doesn't mean that the menu is tired or stuffy. The offerings here come from all over China and focus on the cuisine of Canton, Shanghai and Szechuan. Standards such as moo shu pork, General Tso's chicken and vegetable lo mein receive a delicate touch. Don't be afraid to stray from the usual to give their surprisingly affordable seafood specialties (such as lobster and soft-shell crab dishes) a try. -- Cynthia Glover

  • Good Double Cooked Pork

    Review rating : 4out of 5   Norgemusiker - 08/05/2008

    I frequently eat at Ding How when I am in the Fells Point area around lunch time. I often get the cold noodles with peanut sauce, which include shredded vegetables and , if requested, chicken. This is much more of an entree that the usual appetizer. I most recently had the double cooked pork, The serving, although small, was very nicely spiced, with just enough hoisin sauce. You could really tell that the pork had been stir-fried. The dish did not include much cabbage but did have some very flavorful mushrooms. The very reasonable meal (less than six dollars) comes with a choice of soup, a spring roll, and fried rice. I did notice a roach on the wall one trip, though, so keep your eyes open.

  • Best, bar none!

    I live in another state and Ding How is a must visit everytime I come to Baltimore. Best Chinese I've had out of 3/4 of the states including China Town's in New York, DC, LA, and 23 countries. By far the best I've ever had and I consider myself picky. Say hi to William, best waiter I've ever had.

  • Standoffish to Return

    Though I loved their food overall, the last experience I had there caused me to never return. I had ordered a meal which came with dry noodles for decorative purposes on the side. As I went into an attack mode, I noticed motion in the noodles, (and it was not my fork.) I politely asked the waiter to remove the plate from the table pointing out the little critters. I did receive a new plate of food, but with no apology for the roaches in my previous meal. (I was politely handed the bill).

    The restaurant as well as the staff and owners are very professional and the food is outstanding..I wouldn't go to any other chinese restaurant. To my family this is the fusion restaurant without the name..very Euro-Chinese..love it

  • Good lunchspot

    Review rating : 4out of 5   kylesin222 - 01/23/2007

    I frequently go here for lunch. For about $6.00 you can get a bowl of soup, an eggroll, and a good portion-sized entree. You can't beat this for a sitdown restaurant.

    Oh yeah -- the food is good too.
