You can never go wrong with the service and quality at Home Eat. This was my first time at the downtown location. We arrived around 7pm and were seated immediately.

So happy this local chain has come to my neighborhood! Love the freshness and the quick service. The waiterbot is a fun addition to the atmosphere. Ordering is done at the table using your phone and the food comes quickly. They do offer a quicker hot table option near the door for ready made take away items too. Lots of full fish entrees available and seem to be popular though as a single patron I went with the smaller, more basic entrees. And, I always order the dumplings and the wonton soup. It's becoming one of my weekly favorites now. read more

Home Eat - ooh so good! I came with a friend after exploring downtown San Jose, and thankfully we came early, as tables were filling up around 7:00pm. Ordering was straightforward via a QR code, and a robot delivers food. At times, the staff walk by to refill utensils at each table - overall a minimal staff interaction kind of dining experience. We ordered fried chicken wings, shrimp fried rice, and Tidu beef pot. The fried chicken wings, oh these were so good they had me thirsting for more. We had the spicy ones, and these peppers had you either running or another wing or for a glass of water. The shrimp fried rice was as tasty as you could expect, home cooked comfort food - iykyk. The Tidu beef pot was also tasty with a good number of veggies. The beef was a bit on the tougher side, but it was enjoyable overall. Each dish came by the robot, and you had to transfer the dish yourself from the robot the table. Paying was fairly easy, though we had to flag down a waiter. Overall, it a decent meal with little staff interaction. read more

Foods amazing, the kids love the wings and fried rice I always get the general tso chicken and chow mien read more

I really loved: Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wing I loved: Cumin Lamb I really liked: Ma Po Tofu W/Pork I liked: Honey Walnut Shrimp Sichuan High Wok Sauteed Greens Beef & Scallion Dumplings Yunnan Rice Noodle Soup W/Pork And Pickled Cabbage Home Eat is a solid Chinese spot with a lot of good dishes. The salted egg yolk fried chicken wings were awesome. They come out looking super red, but they are not spicy. Great flavor, super good, and very yummy. The cumin lamb was excellent too. It had a little spice, but not too bad, and the lamb was really soft. The mapo tofu with pork was good, but very spicy. The tofu itself was good. The Sichuan high wok was tasty, but it got spicier and spicier the more I ate it, so just be ready for that. Honey walnut shrimp came out very crispy and the sauce was light. The flavor was not too bad, but the shrimp flavor did not come through as much. The Yunnan rice noodle soup with pork and pickled cabbage was good, and the soup itself had nice flavor, but I wish it had more meat. Beef and scallion dumplings were average. Sauteed greens were solid and definitely necessary to balance out the meal. Service was relatively quick, which was nice since we ordered a good amount of food. Everything came out at a good pace, and the meal felt easy overall. Nothing too fancy on the service side, but it got the job done. The inside feels like a big cafeteria. It is fine, but not really a place you go for ambiance. It was also a little hot inside, which made the spicy dishes feel even spicier. Overall, Home Eat is a good spot for flavorful Chinese food, especially if you like spicy dishes and salted egg yolk fried chicken wings. read more

Late night grub hub cravings... Food: Panfried beef dumplings: B+ These came out pretty good, the skin texture wasn't too thick, the filling was little under seasoned, but was satisfied with the end product. Pork and shrimp dumplings: C The dumpling skin on these were a bit too thick, perhaps to hold up the integrity of the dumpling for this method of preparation. The filling was also under seasoned. Beef wrap: B This one is a interesting dish, the exterior is similar to a roti, and the filling was like a braised beef. I think this one has potential, but I probably need to have a fresh one at the store front. They have a extensive menu, I definitely have to try out the other options they have to offer in near future. - John read more

I visit this place often for lunch with my colleague. We usually share a veggie + tofu chow mein together since she is vegetarian. This place has always been accommodating with my colleague's diet. This place is always clean and the workers are very welcoming once you walk in. I also love how they have the utensils on each table so you don't have to keep asking for them. read more

I will always stand by the fact that I think one of the most cringiest facts of NorCal is that their restaurants close super early and if you're a night owl, you're kind of screwed, but thank god Home Eat isn't one of those places! It's located in Downtown San Jose near the park (Park Con) and the convention center (walking distance) and is open fairly late especially compared to other eateries in Bay Area. Menu is quite expansive with a wide, diverse range of dishes, portions are huge, and there's lots of tables and seating. Very big restaurant. Recommend hitting up during Fanime. Even later at night, around 2 hours before closing, the restaurant was decently busy. Despite this the food came out decently quickly and the service was super efficient. We got the spicy Mongolian whole lamb pot with a side of rice and that dish was far more than enough for 2 people, even if it was the small portion. It comes with stewed lamb on the bone. bean sprouts, napa cabbage, tomato, scallions, bok choy, and vermicelli. Not super spicy, it's the chili oily type of Chinese spicy if you know what I mean and there's a slight sour taste to it from the sauerkraut that I think was also included. The lamb meat was super tender and slid off the bone. With the denseness of the soup, goes great with rice. Not something I'd eat on my own but I don't mind coming back to try more of their menu. They were also nice enough to give us complimentary oranges as dessert! That's how you know that they're legit. read more

HOME EAT IS SO FREAKING GOOD!!! Get their salted egg yolk chicken wings..this is my go to!!! So delicious..salty..and flavorful!!! The saltiness is so good I don't know how to describe it. You need to try it!!! I've gotten the chance to try all their fried chicken and all of the flavors are great but salted egg yolk is my favorite..their regular chicken kinda tastes like peaking sauce..yum!!! Can't go wrong with any of the fried chicken from here. The chow mein is also very good. You don't need to add soy sauce or hot sauce to the chow mein..it's good on its own..most chow mein is rarely good on its own but this chow mein is bomb as is. Parking can be a little tricky depending on when you go..there's street parking and the restaurant is right below a parking structure. I've been able to find street parking..so I'm unsure how much parking cost in the garage.. read more

A good friend of mine took us here for lunch, and it was a great experience. The environment was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The food tasted fresh, and the portion sizes were generous while still maintaining affordable prices. The star of the show for me was the Honey Walnut Shrimp, super crunchy with the perfect amount of sauce and flavor. I just wish they coated the walnuts with the sauce too. Overall, the food was amazing for the price, and the restaurant itself was clean and roomy. Staff is okay, attentive if you flag them down. It's a perfect sit-down Chinese restaurant if you're looking to bring friends and family. read more

We've had Home Eat before, but this was our first time visiting this particular location. It's in downtown San Jose, so finding parking can be a bit of a challenge. We were seated right away with a party of six. The menu is pretty extensive, but we already had a good idea of what we wanted. They also have a self-serve sauce bar, which is a nice touch. All of the dishes came out hot, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. Service was a little on the slower side; we had to ask for water and utensils a few times.. but overall, everyone enjoyed the meal and the family-style dining experience. read more

I got take-out for my bf and myself last night from here, and it was delicious! I was craving Chinese food, and I found this spot on here. I've heard of Home Eat from a random TikTok video before too so I was excited to try them! I'm glad that this spot is opened late til 11pm, and we ordered our food around 8pm and picked it up within 25 minutes. The lady at the front was welcoming, and they were pretty busy on a late Sunday night. We got the eggplant combo, general tso's chicken combo, mapo tofu, and pork dumplings. Everything tasted yummy! I didn't really care for the wonton chips though. The mapo tofu had that nice kick to it, which I liked. They also gave us lots of utensils which is awesome! The inside of the place looked clean and modern. We found a spot on the street right outside to park briefly while I picked up the food. I would definitely return to this spot again the next time I'm craving Chinese food. :) read more

The food came out within 10 minutes. Great portion sizes and good enough for me who eats a lot. We got the Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef! This is a great place to hang out with friends, go on dates, or have family meals at. There's streetside parking and a parking lot right near here! You have to pay for parking but after 6 it's free! read more

Food is good as usual, we ordered the cold dishes such as cucumbers and lotus roots. We also ordered the kids orange chicken combo, beef broccoli combo, hunan stir fry beef, and grandma curry wok. I love the hunan stir fry beef but the beef broccoli is just ok for me since it's a bit too beefy taste. However, my daughter and my husband like the beef broccoli though. read more

We ordered a few dishes via DD from Home Eat. Was this one of the best taste wise that I have had? Not really, but it was solid and scratched that itch for Chinese food. I would definitely return. Their pricing is a lot better than most places and they give you a lot of food, which is really nice. We had the following: Beef Chow Fun 9/10 - The beef was tender and the flavor was really good. The noodles were thin and wide and had a good chew to them. My personal test on noodle dishes is how good they taste cold the next day and these really hit the spot in regard to leftovers. Honey Walnut Shrimp 4/10 - Somehow the crust around the shrimp tasted stale. It was weird. The shrimp were fresh and the black vein was cleaned out. The walnuts were raw. I prefer when they are slightly toasted. They also weren't sweetened like some places do, but I don't care either way on that. I liked that the sauce wasn't so heavy on the mayo and wasn't overly sweet. All in all it was not one of the better ones I have ever had and probably my least favorite of all the dishes. I wouldn't order this again. Pork & Shrimp Dumpling 7/10 - The dumpling had a nice chew to it but the fillings weren't overly flavorful. They barely give you any sauce with all those dumplings, which kind of sucked. The sauce is really heavy on the rice vinegar but I didn't mind that. They are a solid choice though. Mongolian Beef 6/10 - This smelled fantastic and had great flavor. The beef was a bit on the tough side but that wasn't really a big deal. My biggest problem with this dish is that it was LOADED with onions. There were just way too many onions. A massive amount of onions. If it wasn't for that I would have probably given this a 9 or 10 out of 10. Spicy Pepper Fried Chicken 10/10 - The flavor on these is so good (just writing about them makes me crave them). The spice level was nice. I would have preferred more spice but I also know I tend to like more spice than most people, so I totally understand the level they serve it at. There are peanuts in this one, which are tasty but just a warning to anyone with a peanut allergy. The crust was perfect on this. There were some overly hard pieces of crust in the batch but my dog liked crunching down on those pieces (no chicken, just chunks of crust). I would go back just for these. We also ordered two steamed rice sides and they added a third one to the order for free, which was really nice. And the sides were a good amount of rice. They also included some sort of soup. I don't know what it was. It looked kind of like an egg drop soup but the broth was a slightly cloudy, white-ish broth and there was corn in it. It was a little too sweet for me, but I love the fact that they included an extra item. I think that was really nice. Definitely a solid choice for Chinese food at a more reasonable price than most of the places around here. read more

I've always come here whenever I have my lunch time in between classes. So far I've had the fried chickens, hot pot, stir fried noodles, stir fried vegetables, and soup. All have been satisfactory every visit. I've also came here with friends and family. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Oh my 6 stars if I could. Don't get me wrong though. This place is nice! No seriously, it is. It's the best food I have ever eaten at yet a very interesting price. You get a huge menu full of different things to choose from. I like the plate options they have. Food is very tasty. Service is really epic, once we sat down someone was right with us. Even better, free parking if you are spending 90 minutes or less eating here. Who knew I would find something so nice to eat in DTSJ, probably the best thing I will ever have. If you are here past 9pm, good job too because they close past late night. I will be a regular here if I can. Note: If you work in downtown you can hold your specialized work meetings here. Please book ahead or you will not be able to reserve. read more

They charge tip percentage including tax, so either manually calculate it yourself, or tip a little smaller than you intend. Food is good value and large portions, and ranges from decent to quite good. Vegetables dishes should be better for a chinese place imo but they're not bad. Good place to feed a lot of people on a budget. read more

Visiting San Jose and was craving some hot pot so came here! 90 min free parking in the lot next door. Very clean and modern looking chinese restaurant with tons of options. Order on the QR code on the table and a ROBOT server brings it to you. Ordered grandmas curry wok. Came really quick! Broth was good. Lots of variety in the pot itself, big portion too. Beef was really dry and overcooked before even turning on the fire though. There's also a sauce bar with a pretty good selection. Overall, good price, okay food read more

Home Eat - 6 Grandma Curry Wok 外婆咖喱锅 - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

If you are looking for some comforting Chinese food then this is definitely it. I made a large order for pickup to eat at my friends house. I love that they have a large variety of options. I ended up getting the following: General Tso Chicken- This was packed with flavor and not for the simple eaters. Definitely my preferred chicken dish. I also think it was fried which made it that much tastier. I was glad we got it. Shrimp & Ham fried rice- It was pretty good. No complaints and had a good amount of shrimp. Also flavorful and the only thing we finished eating. It was great with all the other meat dishes. Spring beans and eggplant- I am not a veggie fan but this was definitely good and I kept coming back to it. Honey Walnut Shrimp- My least favorite dish unfortunately. It was still good but it was a little over battered and overcooked. The shrimp inside was a little dry. There were lots of candied walnuts on top and flavoring was nice. Egg & Shrimp Chowfun- One of the better chowfuns we've had. It was delicious. Kung Pao Chicken- This was good and the chicken in it was moist. It's a good solid chicken dish if thats what you are looking for. Salt Pepper Fried Fish Fillet- Actually I preferred this less than the honey walnut shrimp. It wasn't bad but there wasn't anything too special about it. Wings- Whoa lots of flavor. I would get this on its own if I could for another time. I highly recommend their wings. We placed the order online and it was ready when we picked up. I like that Home Eat has weekly specials so look out for those. The pricing is great for Chinese food and the portions are a good size. We ended up not finishing most of our dishes and everyone was full and loved it. My friends had plenty of left overs. I highly recommend if you want Chinese food. read more

Finally found a spot that hits the spot! Home Eat offers authentic, punchy flavors that feel like a home-cooked meal but with professional execution. We tried a few dishes: the Dry Pot Cauliflower had the perfect amount of 'wok hei' and spice, while the Beef with Broccoli and Peppers was incredibly tender and savory. The vegetable stir-fry with pickled greens provided a nice, bright contrast to the meal. Large portions, fresh ingredients, and a cozy atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite! read more

Late review. I've only been to this place twice and the second time fell too short. Everything my friend and I ordered was too salty (and that says a lot coming from me because I love salty things). We could barely eat without getting mouthfuls of just salt on our tongues so we left everything on the table without taking anything to go. The kitchen was closed so we couldn't bring anything back. I'm not sure what was wrong with the chef(s) this day, but they should be tasting what they're making. Home Eat is too expensive for everything to be salty. As for the salt and pepper fried fish, all you could taste were the onions and bell peppers when you bit into the fish. It was so disappointing as I was really craving their food. read more

Dam. I wish I could be gracious. I've been going here for about three years. The menu changed. We tried to adapt. The final straw was ordering honey walnut shrimp. Twice. Asked for zero walnuts because bf is allergic. Highly allergic. I mean they got rid of the sweet and sour shrimp we used to order so we order honey shrimp. Evidently they still cross contaminate with walnuts. I've spent two evenings now trying to not take my bf to the e room. Him taking almost 200mg of Benadryl to thwart an eroom bill. The neglect is unacceptable. When someone asked for no walnuts, they mean no walnuts. Once was forgivable. We called and educated that time. The second time is negligence. We will not be back again. When we called it was "sorry" with no action or anything. Do better. read more

Had late night Home Eats delivered. First time trying them. Couldn't decide what to get, so I ordered several dishes thinking I would have leftovers for the rest of the week. Food arrived hot. They give you large portions for a pretty good price. The honey walnut shrimp was delicious. Broccoli beef had a nice flavor, but ultimately was too spicy. I couldn't eat it. The pork and shrimp dumplings were good, but I didn't care for the dipping sauce. Couldn't eat those either. Disappointed because they have such great reviews. Highly doubt I'll eat the leftovers. read more

We love coming here! One of the best priced Chinese restaurants in the area and the food is portion sizes are also great Highly recommend the chicken wings and their side dishes (lotus root, especially!). For side dishes, the menu says $3.99 after 9:30pm but the staff packs up almost all of the side dishes before 9:30pm so there's only gizzard or duck feet or duck neck left for the deal. If you're not a fan of Szechuan mala, some of the dishes are very numbing read more

Food was excellent. Great flavors and freshness. They were very accommodating with a party of 16 (last min reservation). Spacious place with lots of lighting. I like the prepackaged sauce bar in the back of the restaurant. The thai tea boba was just okay and the milk tea boba was better. read more

Definitely my go to Chinese resto near SJSU! My favorite thing to get: beef chow fun, salted egg wings, and the wonton soup! I'm honestly not a fan of the Szechuan chilli flavor so...I'm a no. Plus, my stomach is too sensitive. The service is just alright but it's typical for a restaurant like this. Iykyk! I do like that you can order on the app either individually or as a group. Keeps tabs super clean. The environment is super casual & open late! read more

If you're looking for a delicious go-to spot for Chinese food (and especially fried chicken), this place is it! Great ambiance, warm lighting, lots of yummy menu options, and (most importantly haha) great food! The chicken wings and lamb were my favorite part, but even if you can't handle spicy food (like I can't), they're still definitely worth trying. The flavors were especially good, and everything we had was amazing. Will be coming back here again! read more

I love the high tech robot delivery to the tables. Good food and portion sizes. They are situated just downtown San Jose in the middle of the night life section. The flavor mixes are outstanding.

Homeeat is probably one of my favorite additions to South Bay lately! They're so affordable and the flavors just knock most places out of the water.
