My Favorite Ho

Ding Ho, the local Chinese restaurant that's old enough for an AARP card, is still open.
They had moved abruptly from their previous location on Broad St. during the winter, and I was worried that the bad timing combined with the struggling economy would spell their doom. I'm glad to see I was wrong.
My mom was in town for a brief visit on thursday, and discovered that they were up and running in their new location on Philippi Rd, right next to Kohl's.
We stopped in and ordered some carryout. We also sampled their margaritas to make sure they were up to snuff. While there, I asked the bartender what prompted the sudden move. She explained that a family dispute caused it all...her uncle owned the building of their former location, while her father had the rights to the business. The uncle wanted a controlling interest, and when that was refused, he forced the restaurant out.
Business seemed good for a random thursday evening. The new location is a lot more visible from the road, so that should help bring people in. They're also adding an outdoor patio that looked about ready to open.
The food was just as good as it was at the old location, so the only thing you'll miss is the old dingy restaurant.
