Very authentic. Love their salt and pepper wings and stirred cabbage. Home eats is a must

This restaurant has a nice variety of food. The staff are friendly and helpful. The parking lot above the restaurant is free for 90 minutes. There is also street parking. During busy times, you might see a robot on wheels delivering food to tables. Although it's not on the menu, you can ask for hot tea. read more

This restaurant is fantastic all around. The food is delicious, service is prompt, and the place is spacious with plenty of tables. My partner and I came here around 10:30pm on a Saturday. It was moderately busy but there were still plenty of open seats. We ordered the spicy pepper fried chicken wings and egg and shrimp chow fun. The food came out less than 5 minutes after placing our order! The chicken wings were hot and very crispy. The meat was tender and fell right off the bone. The chow fun portion was massive! The noodles were chewy and seasoned very well. During our meal, one of the servers walked around offering free plates of duck neck. It was served chilled and had a deep spice flavor. I highly recommend eating here! read more

Was in town for a wedding and decided to try this place the day I flew in. I was craving a Tasty Pot/ Boiling Point meal and saw Home Eat had that. The restaurant was huge and so was the menu! There were tons of options that looked good. I ended up ordering the Lamb hot pot which I was craving and saw pictures of but it wasn't what I expected. It was labeled as spicy but I think it would've have been good to note on the menu that it was the mala numbing spicy. I felt like they put way too much of the oil where I couldn't even enjoy the meal because it was so overpowering. I was a bit disappointed. The portion was big though. I would maybe come back with a larger group and try their other dishes instead. read more

Solid, no-nonsense spot right next to the SJSU campus. You can tell a lot of college students frequent this place for quick, filling meals, and the setup is super casual with the table utensil setups. We ordered a huge spread and everything was on point: Cumin Lamb/Beef: Super savory with a nice kick from the cumin, peppers, and cilantro. Mapo Tofu: Great spice and flavor with the ground pork. Crispy Glazed Wings: Really crispy and coated in a great sweet-savory glaze. Stir-Fried Eggplant: Rich, tender, and savory. Hot & Sour Soup: Hit the spot to start off the meal. Grabbed a boba milk tea to go with it all. Portions are huge, flavors are legit, and it's a great local spot. Definitely coming back. read more

I appreciate the affordable prices and the convenience of the indoor parking lot. Upon entering, I saw a display case with side dishes, including spicy options I enjoy. A friendly staff member greeted us immediately, though he could have been more attentive to my dad, who uses a cane and has mobility issues, as he was seated far from the main area. I don't fault him--sometimes attention to detail is missing. Another staff member noticed and offered us a more accessible seat for my dad. Overall, the service was friendly and efficient. The food was delivered quickly and at the right temperature, showing good cooking and fast order processing. All the dishes had excellent flavors. I appreciated that the plates and chopsticks were already set up, so we didn't have to wait for utensils. Next time, I plan to try their spicy menu options. read more

The shrimp wonton soup was a little salty. The egg and shrimp chow fun was a little bland. Also ordered the Wontons in Red Chili Oil, and that tasted pretty good.

Parking is interesting, but at least the restaurant is literally at the corner when you exit the parking structure. HomeEat always hits, I usually frequent the Cupertino location, but stopped by this one today. Food was great. No complaints as usual. I recommend checking out the rotating dishes they have on discount each month to try as much of the menu as you want. It is much bigger inside than Cupertino. Service was okay. About three employees looked at me and turned away or walked away when I walked to the pick up counter, waiting. A fourth person came out and acknowledged me right away. read more

Pretty big restaurant with street and garage parking available. I received my take out order in a good time and they have a screen that shows you the status of your food. I ordered the September special fried chicken wings for $9.99. These wings were so freakin good, not too spicy, very flavorful, and a great price for over a dozen of wings! Lots of seating the restaurant. read more

Home Eat - Fried chicken wings! Yum! - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here for much with my 90 year old mom based on my brother's recommendation, it is one of his favorite eating places, and Mom selected the various yummy dishes. The Chinese food here is very tasty, it's quite excellent, in fact, the cost is reasonable, the portions are generous, and the many dishes available here happen to represent the various provinces in China. The restaurant was quite packed here during lunch and also a little later. They offer banquet facilities and catering for large parties and gatherings. There are a few televisions with food programming. The menu here is quite extensive, it has a wide variety of favorite regional dishes of Hunan, Yunan, Guangdong, and Taiwan, etc., so you can experience the best of Chinese cuisine. Parking is available on the street, parking meters accepts both coins and credit cards, and I believe there may be paying parking lots located nearby. The wait staff here were very friendly, nice, and the service is very fast. I was planning to come again for my birthday this Saturday, but I discovered that there are several Home Eat locations, so I will try the one in Sunnyvale, in order to celebrate my birthday with my brother and mom. However, I will come again to this location, as it is located in downtown San Jose. 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 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

This place is absolutely incredible Chinese food and great prices, but they don't answer their phone! I ordered through Uber Eats last night and I wanted to call to change something that was not able to be changed online and I tried calling for 20 minutes with no answer. Ended up getting my order with the wrong dish. There needs to be a person to contact to talk to. That being said, the food was really good. A little bit overly greasy and a little too much sauce, but the quality is there and it's very fresh 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

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

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

Actually such amazing food here! I moved back from SD for this comfort food omg. Favorite dish is the classic fried chicken wings

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!

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

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

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

Good value and fairly high quality ingredients make this a good place to get take out. It is very "authentic" so westerners might be put off by the chicken claws and other regional specialties that we aren't necessarily fond of, but there is some good general chicken, chow main, chow fun, and shrimp fried rice to be had here, so just pay attention to what you are ordering. Atmosphere is not up to much, so we typically get food to go and we are always pleased with the portions, quality and value. So give it a try! read more
