What User likes about Hoviwa:
I always have a fantastic dining experience here. They always provide complimentary appetizers and an extra 10% off when dining in or ordering takeout. My go-to choice is usually the delicious New Hoviwa dish. We frequent this restaurant often for a great night out. View all feedback. What Aimee L doesn't like about Hoviwa:
Shame we can't choose 0 stars. Waited nearly 2 hours for delivery, and because it was so delayed, Just eat give us the option for a partial refund, which they declined straight away, cancelled the order and blocked the just eat account! Do NOT recommend. View all feedback.

I did not receive my order and my refund was cancelled at the last minute. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant for delivery.

Lie about size of dishes, pay extra for large and it comes as standard

Dining at a local takeaway can be a hit-or-miss affair, and recent reviews for a popular restaurant in Braintree echo this sentiment. While some patrons experienced prompt delivery and generous portions, others lamented the poor quality of dishes, citing dry meats, flavorless sauces, and an overall lack of freshness. A few diners praised specific items like Singapore noodles and dim sum, appreciating the good service and reasonable prices. However, dissatisfaction with the consistency of quality and the restaurant’s online ordering system has left many questioning whether they will return. Ultimately, the restaurant presents an uneven dining experience.
