    Hello food robot.
    Joel G.

    If you like an interactive dining experience, like a little organized chaos where you are part of a fast moving process then you came to the right place. Once at the table you set your own plate, poor your own water and then can order via a QR code or a human. The menu is huge. There is an excellent condiment bar where you get up and fetch what you want. The same bar has take home boxes and bags which you deal with at the end of the process. A food robot goes back and forth and appears to be bringing plates to and from the kitchen. Multiple human servers/helpers are moving around you continuously as they drop off and pick up plates at your table and the tables around you. The tables turn so fast, you are paying the bill while your codiner is filling the take home boxes. Huge portions of food at reasonable prices come speeding out not long after you are done ordering. The Breakdown: - Hot and sour soup - very good, lots of mushrooms - Walnut prawns - excellent, light on the mayo, deep fried to perfection - Sesame chicken - excellent. Deep fried just right with a million sesame seeds and a sweet sauce. - Kung Pao chicken - very good. Light on the peanuts, lots of red and green peppers. - Combo chow main - excellent. Generous amounts of meat, the noodle had just the right amount of chew. Good amount of parking. Was not thrilled that the trees have aphids in them raining down on my clean car. Overall, HE is probably the best Chinese restaurant in Santa Clara right now. Buckle up and jump in for some great Chinese food.

    The team showed up and it was amazing!

    The portions are great, the food is tasty and very well made, the ambience can be loud , but very open and there's even a robot serving food! The service from Rene was amazing and is always great. Since I discovered this place , I've been back 8 times and will keep coming back. They have a to-go deli like display with take out food that looks very culturally correct! Haven't tried it yet! Have had large group to dine for lunch and without reservations, really great !!!! Coming back!

    We came here with a group and initially had a pretty good experience. The food actually tasted good, and we ordered several different dishes to share. Unfortunately, everything changed when someone at our table was serving themselves food and found what appeared to be an insect larva in one of the dishes. We took a picture of it, and after seeing that, I honestly lost my appetite and didn't want to continue eating anything else. I will give the restaurant credit for how they responded. They took the dish that it was found in off our bill and also brought our table a plate of desserts as an apology. I appreciate that they acknowledged the situation and tried to make it right. However, finding something like that in food is extremely concerning and completely changed the experience for me. It was especially upsetting because we had already been eating and sharing the different dishes at the table. The food was good up until that point, but once we found it, I just couldn't continue eating. I appreciate how they handled it afterward, but unfortunately, this is something I personally can't overlook, and I wouldn't come back after this experience.

    Cold dishes
    William S.

    Great value and generous portions. The fish was so large that I had plenty left over for another meal. The cold dishes also come in big portions, and I liked that they have a self-serve cold dish bar where you can see everything before ordering. The cucumbers were really good, while the pig ears were a bit less impressive. They weren't as flavorful as I expected and were chewier than I prefer instead of having a nice crunch, but they were still enjoyable. The chow mein was a standout. It had a great smoky wok flavor, was very tasty, and the vegetables stayed nice and crunchy. The portion was huge as well, making it an excellent value overall.

    Loved the fried chicken it was sticky crunchy good. Fried rice was ok the eggplant green bean dish was good but some of the eggplant was under cooked. Wonton soup was not so great wonton too thick. Same goes for the steam wonton.

    26 Tidu Sliced Beef Pot 提督香锅肥牛
    Amy Z.

    The pot was pretty good overall. The thinly sliced beef pot was really flavorful and definitely my favorite. The combo dish was a little disappointing though. The fried rice was pretty bland, and the salt and pepper chicken barely had any meat and was mostly batter. Service was okay. It's more of a self-serve setup since the utensils, plates, and everything else are off to the side for you to grab yourself.

    Mongolian Beef
    Sean L.

    Came here because I was craving Chinese steamed fish but didn't want to pay the hefty price at H&L, even though it's always delicious there. Home Eat came up on Yelp with such a high rating, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the steamed fish, lobster noodles, Mongolian beef, honey walnut prawns, fried rice, and salted egg yolk crab. The crab was pretty small, so that dish was a little underwhelming, although the flavor was good. The lobster noodles and Mongolian beef were both just okay. The prawns were great and had a different take on the usual honey walnut shrimp. The fried rice was good, and the steamed fish definitely hit the spot. It wasn't quite H&L good, but it was still enjoyable. Overall, this is a decent place for Chinese food, and I'd come back to try some of the other dishes.

    40 Honey Walnut Shrimp 蜜汁核桃虾
    Natalie T.

    I love Home Eat, it's literally the most affordable and scrumptious Chinese restaurant in the bay MARK MY WORDS BOIII I usually go to the Cupertino location, but lowkey that one hasn't been hitting so decided to come here, and I'm glad I did. Portions are huge, food is delicious, what more can I say?? They also have monthly specials and that's what keeps me coming back because I get to try new dishes I wouldn't have tried before! Honey walnut shrimp- portions can literally feed 3 people, the breading is super crispy and the shrimp itself is juicy and flavorful. Salt and pepper wings- my goto wings are the spicy ones, but this was on the monthly specials so decided to get this, and it was good too! If you are a flats lover, you will love the wings here because all they use are flats... and no extra cost! (Cough cough wingstop) For some reason, I feel this location gives more than the Cupertino location, and for that reason alone, this is my new go to spot for Home Eat. Also the building itself is huge, they also have a wedding banquet you can rent out for a huge party if you want to book an event here!

    Beef dry pot
    Jenny Y.

    I've ate Home Eat numerous times. Dined in at this location for the first time. We got the following: - Beef broccoli: Classic dish, nothing special about it - Beef dry pot: Flavor's okay. Mix of beef slices, lotus, cabbage, fish balls, lots of peanuts, etc. I'll pass on this going forward - Spicy pepper fried chicken wings: Big wings, fried nicely with a nice crunch, great flavor, hot and juicy. This is one of my go to's! - Orange chicken: I personally am not a fan of orange chicken in general but everyone else ate it. As you can expect, it's sweet - Combination chow mein: This is a must! I always have to get their chow mein. The noodles are so good, they don't stick together either. The noodles were gone first, a good amount of meat & veggies were left - Combination fried rice: This is a must for a carb base too! I like the chow mein more but the rice is also good. Nice fluff, light but good flavor - French fries: I didn't see a side of French fries on the menu but I noticed one of their dishes came with fries. I asked if it was possible to order it by itself. The worker checked & let me know it was a $5 charge. Nicely fried, not oily either We got the Thai milk tea with boba and strawberry juice (not pictured). No one was able to finish the juice because it was WAY TOO sweet. All good portions! My nephew was intrigued by the robots delivering the food. Good distraction for the kid while waiting for the food to come out. Everything came out fairly quick. Very spacious and clean restaurant! They have a private room and bar table area. Last time I got take out from here, we saw someone had their baby shower in the private room. Good place to get your Chinese food fix - large menu selection! I appreciate that they have pictures for better reference.

    Home Eats is a great spot for casual Chinese food with generous portions and reasonable prices. We stopped in for lunch on a Thursday and it was surprisingly quiet, though the large dining room feels well-suited for family gatherings, group dinners, and banquets. The food came out quickly, portions were huge, and everything we ordered was flavorful. The spicy chicken definitely brought some heat, and the overall menu offers plenty of classic Chinese comfort-food options. What stood out most was the value--you get a lot of food for the price. Service was friendly, attentive, and low-key. The staff checked in regularly without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt relaxed and welcoming. A fun touch was the robot server that helped deliver dishes to the table. The location is also convenient, especially for anyone near Santa Clara University. With free parking available and several Home Eats locations around the Bay Area, it's easy to see why the restaurant has become such a popular local favorite. If you're looking for a casual, no-frills Chinese restaurant with large portions, quick service, and a chill atmosphere, Home Eats is definitely worth a visit. For weekend takeout for large group events or parties, make sure to order a few days early because they won't take the order on the same day due to capacity.

    Ordered takeout for work and was pleasantly surprised. We all ordered and paid individually online and sent someone to pick up. Great portion size and free mystery juice was passion fruit and really good. I had sesame chicken with chow mein and other coworkers had a noodle dish and their wings which they raved about. We were all pleasantly surprised and will order again.

    We came here for a graduation dinner and made reservations for a group of 15 people. This place was amazing! There's a little area where you can pick out some "appetizers" that are already premade. I was only able to take a photo of that and everything else was so good that I forgot to take a photo. We ordered a huge variety of dishes and everything tasted amazing! I don't think there's a single dish that I could complain about. Their spicy fish was beyond amazing! I will definitely be back for that one! Great food and great prices. Highly recommend!!

    This review is from March 2025, it just takes me awhile to write reviews…read more I have heard that they have since had a kitchen fire but are going to re-open some time this year. They have also opened a location in Cupertino that is more convenient for me. Adding Mian to this plaza definitely livened it up, it was so difficult finding parking and then there was an hour wait when we joined the waitlist. We wandered around Grocery Outlet and Savers to pass the time. I came with a group of 6 people. We ordered the sichuan spicy fries and fried chicken cutlet to share. The fries were the spiciest item I had that day, wow! I ordered the Sichuan chicken cold noodles, extra spicy. They were not spicy at all. I left everyone at the table try them and they all agreed it was not spicy. Kind of disappointing, I expected them to be spicier than the fries at least. My partner had the chengdu zajiang noodles, mild spicy. They were good, the signature dish of the restaurant. I would return, but their spice levels are very inconsistent.

    This review is from my visit earlier last year. I'm just catching up on all my reviews now…read more We went when it was dinner time, and the place was packed. We waited for probably 15-20 minutes which wasn't too bad. The place is pretty big and fits a good amount of people. The food was great. Every single dish that we got was so good and packed with comfort and flavor. The veggies were well cooked, my favorite was the beef rolls. I would recommend checking this place out.

Noodles felt fresh. Dish was greasy though. *fried rice-3.5/5- came with mushrooms, eggs and some other veggies.

The ingredients within the sauce of the sweet and sour sauce for the pork is a little different and feels much more hearty. The ingredients within the spicy noodle soup also have ingredients that feel much more "Chinese". Service is a bit lacking compared to other Korean Chinese restaurants, even though there were so many people working the day we visited, which was very disappointing. Restaurant inside resembled a Chinese restaurant with throw away table placement papers. Overall, Beijing is fine. Food and service wise, I would favor others, such as Tong Soon, Koong, and Paik's. Plenty of parking in the private lot-they do have security roam around making sure that those that are parking in the lot are visiting the restaurant or neighboring businesses.

I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER.

There are also plenty of ingredients mixed into the sauce, although I find it a little salty sometimes. The tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork, $15.95) is super crispy, and I really liked the tangy sauce with it. I personally prefer dipping the pieces in the sauce so they stay crispy, but you can also pour the sauce over if that's your preference! The restaurant can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, with waits usually around 10-30 minutes. There's plaza parking available nearby.

The noodles for both dishes have a pleasantly chewy bounce to them. They are thick, satisfying, and cooked perfectly right. The Jajangmyeon's black bean sauce was savory with a touch of sweetness and contains peas, onions, and pork. The Jjamppong has a spicy seafood broth with squid, mussels, pork, and veggies. Every meal comes with pickled yellow radish on the side to help cut through the richness of the meal. Service is not what you come here for. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and a part of that was because they skipped our name on the waitlist. They claimed they called it, but we were standing less than 15 feet away from the front door and never heard a thing. The music the restaurant was playing outside didn't help. Once sat inside, it is a turn-and-burn operation. Food is ordered, dropped off, payment is collected, and nothing more. Again, don't go here for the service, go for the noodles. The atmosphere is casual and bit cramped. It has a cafeteria-like feel inside and can get a little noisy. Parking can be tricky especially when busy since they share a small parking lot with neighboring businesses. Bottomline, Paik's Noodle is good for a quick and solid bite but that's about it.
