    I just had the Lunch Special Mongolian Beef with Fried Rice. It came out the kitchen in a few minutes. I like my food spicy a bit and it certainly was this day for sure. I mean, thats kinda the point of that dish ya know. The place to dine in is ok. I wouldn't bring a new date here though. The decor is pretty typical for these dine in Chinese fast food places and im not saying its fast food, their service was the few times I have been

    Edna Ray is my go-to for local Chinese food, both takeout and to eat in. The Kung Pao Tofu is so tasty! Inside there are lots of tables and the atmosphere is relaxed and ideal for a comfortable, delicious meal. Highly recommend!

    This is my go to Chinese food spot! It's a hole in the wall but the food is fresh, quick and packed with flavor! The service is very friendly. Definitely a must try.

    Ordered some food to go and while the food was good, delivery and presentation was terrible. I just say I usually love this place and it never missed, but today must have been an off day. Ordered pot stickers, pork fried rice, mushu pork, honey walnut shrimp, and beef chow fun. Everything was really tasty but when it was delivered by Uber eats some had spilt into the bag and mixed with the other food. I will say we did order Peking Chicken and what we got instead was sweet and sour chicken :( Maybe this is an Uber eats issue so I won't fault Edna ray too much but maybe package it a little more careful and for all this food maybe use 2 bags.

    Been coming to this location for years ever since I was little. This has been my on the go for take-out and dine in. I would say is one of San Jose's hidden Gem. what we order: -fried rice 5/5 -orange chicken 5/5 -sweet and sour pork 3/5 (im not a big fan) -won ton soup 3/5 - honey walnut shrimp 5/5 - wonton with cream cheese 5/5 -tempura shrimp 5/5 Service was fast and they were very friendly.

    I have been a long time customer for over 15 years. Being a vegetarian is tricky as several dishes I have ordered at other establishments claim to be vegetarian but end up containing chicken stock, shrimp paste or fish sauce. Edna Ray was always accommodating with my requests of "no chicken stock, oyster or fish sauce" and the food was delicious. Well today when I called to order my usual dish, I was told by a female employee that they couldn't do that. When I mentioned that that's been my order for several years, she said the cook said it's too complicated & that last time was the very last time. When I asked why this was so suddenly decided, she told me she didn't have time to discuss it & hung up on me. I was mortified by her rudeness! I cannot believe the utter disregard of customer service & incredible rudeness of this employee. I will happily give my business elsewhere.

    Big fan of the WIllow Glen Edna Ray - unfortunately this location is very different. Even the "spicy" dishes were very bland

    What are best stir fry meat dishes here?

    Is this the same business that used to be located on Lincoln in Willow Glen?

    Edna Ray is now on San Carlos from Willow Glen. I've been there twice already and have had great, attentive service, and wonderful food.

    This is my second time at Home Eat, and it continues to be a great casual spot with delicious food…read more Service is efficient. You place your order through a QR code, which makes the process quick and easy. This visit, we ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, Tidu Sliced Beef Pot, and Tianjin Eggplant. The wings are a must-order here. They're always perfectly fried and crispy on the outside while still staying juicy and tender inside. The Tidu Sliced Beef Pot reminded me of a dry hot pot. It had a great mala flavor with a subtle numbing sensation, and the peanuts added a nice crunch and texture to the dish. The Tianjin Eggplant was simple but delicious, with flavorful pork that paired really well with the soft eggplant. Overall, the food here is comforting and satisfying. It's a place I'll definitely keep coming back to.

    Great place for authentic Chinese food! My friend and I came here and had the chicken tidu pot…read morebecause I was craving dry pot, and I absolutely loved it. I was missing some ingredients that were listed and wish it was more customizable but the flavor was on point (especially with the numbing flavor that gives MaLa its signature name). We also had the salted egg chicken wings, I loved how crispy they were. Absolutely the spot to come for late night eats.

    Not the same Mayflower that I went to growing up but this place did NOT disappoint…read more We were in the mood for dim sum on the way to the T&T grocery store opening and yelp brought us here. We walked in right at opening to a completely empty dining room. Instead of leaving, we browsed the menu and ordered XLB, pot stickers, jelly fish, and pea sprouts (my personal fav) so glad we didn't leave! The XLB are a nice size, with each precious dumpling cradled in its own foil wrapper for maximum soup retention. The potstickers were full of flavor, packed with protein, delicately wrapped, and had the crispiest, golden bottoms! Jelly fish was fresh and the pea sprouts were a hit! The poor owner answering the phones made sure (in all languages) to inform folks calling in that there were a different May Flower than the other place-felt terrible for her but also understood the importance of differentiating right up front. I can only imagine the number of misorders they have probably dealt with. By the time we were done, the dining room was filled with a mix of what seemed like regulars, locals, large groups of families, small groups of friends... this feels like we stumbled upon a tiny hole in the wall restaurant where everyone who has been before just knows the quality and taste they are going to be getting! Highly recommend you check this place out for a dine in or take out order!

    Mayflower was the first Chinese restaurant I visited when I moved to the bayarea. After more than…read more15 years I decided it was time to check them out again. This is one of the handful of American Chinese restaurants that stood the test of time. As is typical of these places, there was an old lady manning the counter and also acting as the server. And as is typical of these places, there was table at the end where they were prepping the fruits and veggies. It's truly remarkable how they are all similar in these ways! We got a couple of dishes and they came out at lightning speed. * Chowmein-3/5- delicious with lots of umami flavor but shockingly greasy. I mean I am used to oily noodles but this one exceeded some limits. *crispy salt and pepper eggplant-3/5- I had a stellar version of this dish at another restaurant in Sunnyvale and was stoked when I saw this on the menu here. Unfortunately it was a poor representation of the dish I loved there. The batter was too much and the dish felt heavy. The hot oil or sauce they had felt old and extremely vinegary as well, I would recommend avoiding it.
