    Great food! I came with my mom here for dinner. We have the Menu 1 plate combo that comes with 2 entrees and a side. I got broccoli, orange chicken, and egg plant tofu. My mom got half noodle, half broccoli, shrimp with walnut, and green beans dish. We finished everything. I also got a lemon drink which was refreshing. All in all, I have been to all the locations of Home Eat in the Bay Area. This location is inside Great Mall food court. Plenty of seats at the food court. Service is fine. Ambience is fine.

    Service was self serve, order from the device and you will be called upon when your order is ready. They also have a point and grab menu which is faster if youre in a rush. It is located at the food court of Greatmall so expect any food court atmosphere, depending on the season, it can get pretty crowded. Food is good, they have the point and choose ala Panda Express, but they also offer a cold, section and food that they make when you order it. I'm glad they have a place like this in the food court!

    60 Explosive Chili Pepper Chicken. Too spicy, not edible
    Joyce T.

    I visited and enjoyed Home Eat branches in Cupertino and Sunnyvale, I was excited to see their counter at the Milpitas Great Mall food court. Who knows, this was my worst experience. I had Chili Fried Chicken, which was overly spicy with absolutely no other flavor, give up after one bite. Shrimp Pork Wontons were also bad with very thick, doughy skins and a tasteless filling. Their monthly promo drinks item were either too sweet, or too watery, it was pre-mixed and no way to adjust sugar or ice level. Won't be back.

    They offer delivery at several locations and are available on DoorDash!

    Our friend said this is her family's favorite place to order for parties, I didn't know what everyone would like, so I said, surprise us! She ordered the Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings, Combination Chow Mein, Special Pork Bone and Tianjin Eggplant for us to share family-style. All of their dishes are made fresh to order and I could taste the love they put into them! 5/5 stars! Thank you to our friend Daisy T for getting DoorDash from their Milpitas location and welcoming us into your home! They have several locations that I would love to check out, especially the inside! SYOY! :-)

    I've had mixed experiences. I've had good experiences when I've ordered food already cooked. I've had not so good experiences ordering food cooked to order. I've had good experiences ordering their combination plates. I've had not so good experiences with their noodle soups.

    34 Beef Wrap
    Alicia A.

    Full scale restaurant in the mall. Pleasantly surprised that they have so much to offer. Ended up getting beef chow fun, hot and spicy noodles soup, the shredded potato salad and the beef and tripe. I really liked the food but my spice tolerance level is not there. Everything was too spicy for my tolerance level. I loved loved the shredded potato salad but could only have so much. The hot and spicy noodles were filling but had to split it over a couple of meals as it was too spicy. Also tried their beef wrapped rolls. It was nice but I would prefer to have a bit more hoisin sauce in there. Overall, will need to come back and try different things on their menu and love their concept of having a full scale restaurant in the mall and don't' have to worry about the tipping policy.

    Ordered 3 items that were all not good. Shrimp pork won ton soup was boiling hot, and the won ton dumplings were all dough and little meat. The chili pepper chicken 辣子鸡 were way too spicy! They didn't even taste salty, just bitter from the chili pepper. It was so spicy we had to get a beverage-- which their strawberry juice was bad as well. Too sweet and very artificial flavoring. Maybe it's just because this branch is inside the mall but overall will not recommend.

    I got the side of pig ear. I forgot the other dish I got. Flavor was good! I wish the pig ear was crunchier.

    I was surprised/happy to see home eat at the great mall. They have a pretty formidable presence in the Bay Area with several restaurants already. They are in the food court section in the great mall and occupy the space of almost 2-3 regular sized stalls. They offer cold and hot dishes, the hot dishes are similar to Panda Express style. On top of that they also have their regular menu offerings including all the specials they offer on a weekly/monthly basis at their other restaurants. I got the special for the week- salt and pepper fried fish. It was an instant gratification for some cravings after my long walk through the mall. It was delish but undeniably greasy. I ended up with a tummy ache after I devoured 5 of the fish pieces. Anyway, fish itself was soft and well cooked, outside was crispy. No weird fishy smell and the fish was tossed in some aromatics.

    Fried rice + 2 entrees
    Liz C.

    Home Eat is located at the food court in Great Mall and offers both fast food takeout and more restaurant like to go options. For their entree boxes, think of Panda Express but higher quality. You can order a base of fried rice or chow mein and then add entrees. They don't skimp on the portions here and pile it on really high. The entree box was just standard to us. The fried rice was on the blander side but I didn't have high expectations given its fast food style. The broccoli beef had more broccoli than beef so I was missing some of that protein but tasted pretty standard. The mapo tofu on the other hand was pretty good; it carried a spicy sichuan flavor profile that I wasn't expecting so it had a good kick. The portion for the price is a steal though and you can also add a soft drink to it. What I really liked was ordering from their kiosk where things are made to order. If you have time to wait the food comes out fresh. We ordered some salt and pepper wings and they did not disappoint. They were piping hot, crispy, juicy and tender, and had great flavor. Portion size was large, too. Would definitely come back for the wings and to try more things from their menu. Overall, lots of options to choose from whether you're in a hurry or can wait!

    Combo plate, $11.99 6-piece chicken wings, $7.99
    Sue S.

    IMHO We had 90 minutes to kill before our "Wicked: For Good" movie time, so we headed to the Great Mall Food Court. My daughter found Home Eat, and after being offered a sample of their orange chicken, (yummy!), we decided to share a combo plate of fried rice, orange chicken, and green beans w/chicken, $11.99. We added a 6-piece side of chicken wings, $7.99, and one bottled water, $1.99, for a total of $24.02. The food was hot and delicious. We even had leftovers! Yeah, if I'm ever back in the Great Mall Food Court again, I'd hit up Home Eat again.

    Very good place, very good food. Clean and so the good service

    recently visited this Chinese restaurant and had a really enjoyable experience. The food was authentic and full of flavor, especially the stir-fried dishes and dumplings -- you can tell they use fresh ingredients. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the dining experience even better. The restaurant itself was clean and had a cozy atmosphere, perfect for both family meals and casual dinners. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Chinese food. I'll be coming back to try more dishes!

    80 Beef Chow Fun
    Alisa B.

    Does the job. Probably one of the better options at the Great Mall Food Court! It's pretty greasy compared to the other locations in the Bay Area though. I wasn't crazy about the Beef Chow Fun :( but the Tianjin Eggplant was DELICIOUS!!! These items don't come with rice, so be sure to order some on the side! The Tidu Beef Pot is also great and flavorful, but has lots of peppercorns!

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

I came here on a Friday evening with my friend to grab dinner around 6:00 PM. The wait was around an hour, so be very prepared if you're coming during the dinner rush. This spot is located where the majority of the Asian restaurants are in Milpitas, so it's safe to say the parking can get a bit hectic and intense. The interior of the place is very bright, modern, and clean. There is a lot of seating for a small space, but the reason they are so busy has a lot to do with the number of people wanting to check this spot out. When you sit down, you scan their virtual menu via QR code and order there instead of through a server. You have the choice to order on one phone as a group or separately. Between my friend and me, we ordered a beef mint salad, fried tofu, confit mushrooms, and truffle mushroom rice. I will say that when we first got the fried tofu and confit mushrooms, we were quite surprised by the small portions compared to the price. That said, they were delicious, but skippable if you're trying to find the best bang for your buck. What I absolutely would recommend is their truffle mushroom fried rice. This might have been my best bite this month. It was so savory, the mushrooms hit perfectly, and the coating of butter on the rice was supreme. It was $28 for a bowl, but it was a good value to split between two people. Overall, this place had great, fast service (our food came out in under 10 minutes), a nice ambiance, and fresh, flavorful food.

Yes, maybe I should have read all the signs on the wall, but I really don't enjoy being blamed when I did nothing wrong. Assuming credit cards as one of the payment methods is not my fault, just how the society works. Anyway, I was able to pay them via Venmo, but I did not enjoy the experience at all.
