Ho Ho Takeaway

Ho Ho Takeaway is the established Chinese takeaway on the small Collingwood Street parade in Coundon, the ex-mining village set three miles north-east of Bishop Auckland above the Gaunless valley. The kitchen runs the British-Cantonese repertoire that the area expects, with reviewer favourites recurring around the crispy shredded chicken in garlic chilli sauce and the deep-fried crispy pork with sweet chilli — the bold-flavour preparations that have built the shop's reputation. Restaurantji aggregates around 37 reviews with a 3.6-star average, and the food quality score sits notably higher than the service and atmosphere scores — a normal pattern for a takeaway-only kitchen where customers are rating the cooking rather than a dining room. Google reviewers run slightly higher at around 4.1 out of five. Opening pattern is steady — every day from late afternoon through to eleven in the evening — which gives Ho Ho a stable position covering both the family-meal trade and the early-night orders from neighbouring Leeholme and the run of streets back into Coundon proper. Online ordering runs through the shop's own sites at hohochinesetakeaway.co.uk and hohocoundon.co.uk alongside Bigfoodie and the main aggregator platforms.
