From Family Restaurant to First to Bottle
90 million bottles sold and counting — now a staple in kitchens across America.
From Taipei to the American South
Terry Ho's culinary roots span generations. Born in Taipei, Taiwan, into a family of restaurateurs and chefs, he was raised in the restaurant business and learned the craft from an early age. In 1976, his family immigrated to the United States and eventually settled in South Georgia, where they opened House of China. Terry worked in the restaurant growing up, developing the passion and vision that would shape his career.
The Birth of Terry Ho’s Yum Yum Sauce
Building on the foundation he learned working in his family restaurant, Terry went on to open a chain of 20 fast-casual Japanese restaurants across the Southeast. He served a creamy house-made sauce with every meal there, which quickly became a favorite among his customers. Coined Yum Yum Sauce, Terry bottled the recipe in 2012 to bring it to the masses.
From Local Favorite to Nationwide Love
Now, Terry Ho's Yum Yum Sauce has sold more than 90 million bottles and is available in over 36,000 grocery stores nationwide, including Walmart, Publix, Sam's Club, Kroger, Target, and Food Lion. What began as a signature restaurant sauce has become a staple in home kitchens across North America.
Still Growing, Still Family Led
Today, Terry Ho’s continues to expand its product line with new sauces and dressings inspired by family recipes and Japanese steakhouse flavors, guided by a simple belief that a great sauce can make any dish better.
