    Clockwise: Steamed code, cucumber salad and sweet and sour pork.
    Helen D.

    We had a craving for steam fish so found this place on Yelp! We enjoyed our simple meal of steam cod, sweet and sour pork and cucumber salad. The service was good. Just be aware that they only accept cash or zelle. Overall it was good and we'll be back when we are in the area.

    Steamed cod $26 is a winning dish

    Passing through Chino Hills on a road trip and decided to come here for dinner. This is an odd Sichuan and Shanghainese fusion restaurant. I am more of a Shanghainese food aficionado and their Shanghainese offerings are few and disappointing -- stewed pork belly and eggs were way too fatty to the level of unhealthy, beef noodle soup had good broth and noodle but the beef was way too tough and rubbery. However, their steamed cod was a winner - super yummy sauce and tender flakey fish... but then I could easily make this dish at home. Chino Hills' thriving Chinese food scene is still missing an authentic Shanghainese restaurant.

    Just as good as always. Home cooking had shut down for a little while and reopened in the same plaza. Thankfully, the food is just as good as before and the decor has been updated. Service was good too.

    E1. Beef Stew Noodle Soup

    Great place for some soup and stir fried noodles! This establishment replaced the old JJ Noodle, and quality is the same as before. Perhaps, they kept the old chef from before? My friends and I ordered the beef noodle soup, beef chow mein, spicy seafood chow mein, Taiwan Style chow mein, cucumber salad, and the Hot & Sour soup. For the chow mein, we ordered knife cut style (刀削麵). While, the beef noodles were ordered with regular noodles. Almost everything was delicious. The only thing that could be improved on is their Hot & Sour soup, which was far too sour to our liking. But, besides that service was amazing and the noodle dishes is satisfying! Will definitely return for the noodles again. Recommend.

    THEY MOVED! I was so distraught and thought they closed when we saw Marugame Udon move into their old spot. They're now across the parking lot, next to Peyton Dr. instead. The interior is brand new and very clean, and the food is, as always, so incredibly yummy! They serve the most authentic Chinese food in the area. Food is piping hot when it comes out, and server is very kind! Absolutely delicious. Will keep coming back!

    New location across the strip mall

    They MOVED.... Across the strip mall to replace Noodle House!!! I'm so happy they didn't close permanently, I was so distraught for a few days when I thought they closed Their dishes aren't always perfect but it's where I get some of my fav shanghainese dishes and no where else nearby serves as good of a 五更畅旺。 THANK GOODNESS.

    Located in the very corner of the plaza, which could easily be missed. The place was clean and organized without the clutter in sight. The menu offers a large selection of Chinese homecooking food from different regions. I ordered a kidney dish. It was served within a timely manner. The kidney was cleaned properly and didn't yield any strange scent; it was very tasty and not super greasy either. The dishi s going to taste more like homecooking like its name, so don't expect exquisite flavors. The service was prompt and friendly for a Chinese restaurant. Overall, it gets a 4.2 out of 4.0.

    Shrimp with chili

    I picked up food here on the way home and was pleasantly surprised. The food was quality and the flavors were legit good. Positives were being able to choose level of spiciness which is great. Mild for me still had a good kick. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. Not dry or tough. The fried pork chops were crispy, not overcooked, not dry inside with a flavorful batter. The green beans still had some crunch to it and the sauce coated the beans well. All that with the mixed fried rice topped off to a great meal. Portions are perfect size and you get a good amount of food. They def have the wok hay that is characteristic of good Chinese food. Will def go back again to try other dishes.

    Very nice ambience, been long time customer and love all of their dishes and their hand cut noodles

    Home Cooking is the best Chinese food in the Chino Hills area (since forever). The first I visited Home Cooking was 13+ years ago. It was the best and (probably) the only authentic Chinese food restaurant in Chino Hills then. There are more authentic Chinese/Cantonese/Taiwanese food restaurants opened in the area today, but Home Cooking is still the best, especially when it comes to vegetarian options. The service was excellent. It's so nice of them to offer us warm/hot water on cold days. The food was not the best in SoCal but it's one of the best in the I.E. area for sure. They don't have tons of vegetarian dishes. But it's enough for a meal for a party of 4. We had: - cucumber salad 拍黄瓜: They were able to not add sugar to this dish for us. This was not the northern Chinese-style cucumber salad which was spicy, but it was super delicious. The cucumber was fresh and crunchy. This was our favorite dish in our meal. - black mushroom with gluten 香菇面筋煲 I liked this dish a lot. This was a high-protein vegetarian dish. What's not to like? This dish will be perfect if it's more flavorful. - scallion noodle 葱油拌面 The noodles were too thick for my taste. I would like the dish more if they put more scallions with a different noodle type. - Cauliflower Griddle 干锅花菜 (vegetarian) We were so happy this was a vegetarian dish. It's not spicy enough for our taste. But this is ok since this is not a Hunan or Sichuan style Chinese food so we didn't expect spicy Chinese food here. However, this dish was a bit sweet for me.

    I was craving some Chinese food and I guess since it's the first day of March I wanted to try out this Home Cooking restaurant near my place which is located in Chino Hills. During dinner time I noticed how busy this place was and also how well the food tasted. It does taste like home cooking! The dishes that I had ordered was frog (don't knock it until you try it) which is made with chili spices, bean sprouts, celery, mushrooms, and even had lotus which I rarely see! It tasted yummy and if you haven't had frog it reminds me something of a similar taste to chicken. We also ordered lamb, which is also cooked with chili but to me, it isn't as spicy as some places so if you are new to Chinese dishes maybe go with this one! Either way, it really tasted like fresh vegetables were used in the dish and almost like a home-cooked meal. If both the lamb and frog isn't your style don't worry they even have this tasty deep-fried orange chicken! Not too sweet and it isn't at all spicy! Great for kids or if you just want something simple! The next dish was steamed egg, stir-fried vegetables and a steamed cod, and a seafood soup (got to always order a soup for Chinese dinners). All of the dishes are what I would consider a very traditional Chinese meal. It's filled with flavor but not overwhelming. Plenty of vegetables which I'm a fan of and enjoy. A great place to bring family and friends so you can order more dishes to try out!

    It was my first time here and it doesn't meet my expectations. Food Reviews: - The sweet and sour spare ribs is super dry and the sauce is so thick. - The noodle with chicken is so salty and they put too much white pepper. I literally could taste the white pepper. - Crispy tofu is alright, the sauce, again, is too salty. - Homemade Dumpling is ok. Nothing spectacular. Service Reviews: - They don't prepare you with proper utensils. When the dumpling came, they didn't even give us the sauce. We had to ask and they only gave us one sauce dish. We had party of 4. There was no serving spoon on a few dishes, we had to ask again. Overall, this is my first and last time at this place. Never again.

While it was a little bit oily for me personally, the fish inside was super flaky, and the batter was really crispy and savory. BEAN CURD WITH PORK: 5/5. The best version I've had of this dish, period. There was something incredibly addictive about how savory and balanced it was. Textures were on point, too: super tender, not rubbery at all.

This is the flavor I'm looking for when I order this dish. Deep, basil-forward flavor that permeates the eggplant and onions. MUSHROOM AND PORK BELLY HOTPOT: 5/5.

    Ordered Spicy Szechuan Crispy Chilli Chicken Mixed Beef…read moreSlices in hot Sauce Local Hunan Flavored Lamb And Szechuan Cold Noodles I always thought this place in the past was an offshoot of the Red Chilli Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga / Upland by the 99 Ranch Supermarket, but I guess it deviates way far from both the Red Chilli Restaurants in Redlands and Upland from 8-15 years ago. I cant justify any of these dishes making me want to consume bowls upon bowls of rice. That's what spicy Szechuan and Hunan food is supposed to do....it should make you awaken your taste buds, with the power of their chilli peppers, Szechuan green & red peppercorns, and the umamis derived from MSG. Nope, I didn't crave the Lazi Chicken...nor the Hot Oil Beef Mix... Not the Cold Noodles, and I left with a $122 receipt in hand for 2 more takeout items on top of the 4 main dishes I've shared.....and I felt pretty empty. Empty in a sense, I could DO BETTER at home mixing my own Szechuan Cold Noodles, with Home Made Chili Oil, Sesame Paste, Sugar. Chicken Bullion, Minced Garlic, Vinegar, and Cilantro. I almost felt robbed here.....either every dish was lacking peppercorns and numbness, or it was missing Umami, Alot of it...so I leave anyone who wants to challenge my opinion otherwise and prove me wrong that the food here indeed belongs in a long list of top notch Szechuan Hunan Restaurants in Los Angeles. Even if this place opened up in Phoenix, I'm sorry, it's going to rank in the lower end of the bell curve. It was a hot day. I felt the service lady doesn't know how to tell "Customers Need Ice Water" and I had to vocally tell her ice and water please. I don't know, been a long week, haven't gone home for 10 days and just been bouncing on and off my rig all across the US....I just wanted some food I could really enjoy today, and Chili Bistro failed to deliver.
