What to order at Hana’s Cafe and Market

The menu sticks to comfort food done fresh. Diners mention the pan-fried noodles, pork egg rolls, dumplings and pot stickers, mapo tofu, and wonton noodle soup again and again, along with American-Chinese standbys like orange chicken, sesame chicken, broccoli beef, and fried rice. Steamed BBQ pork buns and red bean dumplings show up in reviews too, and the ramen-style noodle soups are a cold-day favorite.

Portions run generous, and reviewers say the kitchen is happy to adjust a dish for picky eaters, like leaving the sauce off for kids. If you are feeding a group, the noodle and fried rice plates travel well for takeout.

Boba tea and the market shelf

Hana’s doubles as a boba stop. Strawberry, mango, and watermelon boba and fruit teas come up most often, and Thai tea boba gets a mention too. The “market” side of the name is a small shelf of pantry items, including bottled chili garlic and sriracha sauces you can take home.

Good to know before you go

• Call ahead on hours. Online listings show Hana’s closed on Mondays, but weekend hours differ from one listing to the next, so a quick call to (903) 532-0529 is the safest bet.
• Small dining room. The space is cozy, so takeout is a good move for bigger groups.
• Make it a downtown Howe stop. Pair lunch with a browse through Howe shops on the same trip.
