    Okay, I came back to try the food again. It's 6pm, there's more food choices. I ordered fried rice, curry chicken, and sesame chicken. Rice was fluffy and fresh. Entrees were old. But I knew what to expect this time. Place is cleaner than last time.

    If you want to eat here, I would say choose somewhere else. The best thing about it was the price, $12.55 out the door for some orange chicken, rice, chow mein, and 1 egg roll. I wish I took a photo of the plate before I ate it, but after I ate it; these are all the small breaded pieces from the chicken that are left. Hardly any actual meat. And so many vegetables :( not worth it. Not somewhere you want to dine in at. I could've gotten a better plate at Panda Express I feel like

    A fast food Chinese takeout place with spicy food! Safeway take out Chinese food and Wok On Express near me were too bland for my tastes. And Wok On was charging $16.95 for three items, soup and noodle. Time to look elsewhere. Always go to Lucky for their lowest priced Atlantic salmon, today $6.99/lb. Have to drive 4 miles round trip, through maybe 10 traffic lights each way. Next to Lucky is Joy Wok, a hole in the wall restaurant, with maybe three tables, as everyone does take out here. Food sitting in vats of hot water. $10.50 for noodles/rice and two items, $12.50 for three items. I always get the same thing: orange chicken, two orders of spicy fish, and noodles. Their chicken is really tangy, and their noodles greasy just the way I like it. Wife loves their spicy fish, each order of 4 strips of fish, lightly breaded, and hot and spicy. Can't find this elsewhere. The spicy fish is in the same vat every time, right in the middle in the second row. Today, I bring the order home, and wife says the spicy fish looks a bit larger than usual. Take a bite, and it's chicken!

    This establishment is unsanitary and serves spoiled food. Decided to order from this place on DoorDash whilst desperately trying to satisfy a pregnancy craving for Chinese food -- the photos on yelp were decent and figured I'd give them a shot. My hot and sour soup was JUST sour. So so so sour! As if it was cooked a week or more ago -- ate one spoonful and poured it straight down the drain. Moved onto the next item which was chicken chow mein and there was a DEAD FLY SMEARED ON THE CONTAINER! At that point, I was scared to risk my health and the whole bag went straight into the trash. Stay away from this place if you don't want to risk food poisoning due to spoiled food and unsanitary practices.

    Hot and Sour Soup, Combination Banh Mi (1B)

    A hidden gem for their banh mi and soups. Banh Mi (4/5): I get the Combination 1B Banh Mi (ham + pork roll) every time, the meats are fresh and tasty - there are about 3 cuts of meat + pâté. BIGGEST issue is that I don't taste any "bo" or butter on the bread. I really wish they put more butter. Soups (5/5): The hot and sour soup and wonton soup are seasoned for the soul! Garnished with fried shallots and fresh cilantro. The taste takes me back to the jubilant, bustling street food stalls of Vietnam/Asia. BEST thing about it is that it's only $5!! Great price! Service is spectacular, the kind ladies welcome everyone here in a homey manner. Highly recommend soups and the Combo Banh Mi.

    It is a decent quick style pick and choose lunch but a bit more Asian flavors than Panda Express. One unique item is the spicy fried fish fillets which I enjoy. For the price you get ample portions to satisfy the hunger.

    Honestly, I love this place. I've been meaning to type a review for a while now but never had a chance until now! Personally I order their hot food or their banh mi's since the price is right for the generous amount of food they give you. For food off their 'regular' menu, I personally recommend the Won Ton soup or the rice places!! The spring rolls are to die for too The workers there are super nice and chatty too once you become a regular like me also! I def would recommend giving this place a shot. 10/10!

    I did not even know this place was there. Always go next door to get party supplies but never noticed the restaurant. They are still open when I get off work and I get to sit inside and eat my meal in peace. Pretty basic Chinese with interesting selection of drinks, for a good price. Will be bac

    Forget Panda Express, I found this family owned Chinese-Vietnamese take out place. They even do fish and chips!!! I had a party and decided to add some Chinese food, so I ordered up a medium party-size of Chicken chow menu and Vietnamese spring rolls. The owner verify the egg roles are vegan. Even better, because we of course had one Vegan. This is going to be my new go-to place!

The food is very consistent and I love their side dishes and their Tidu dry pot! It's also one of the Chinese restaurants that open later. Service is pretty quick and the vibes are nice inside. They also give you complimentary oranges as dessert when you are finished with your meal.

    Fashion Wok (now called Home Eats) has moved down Murphy Ave, but thankfully the food quality has…read morestayed the same. Having been here a handful of times over the years, I'd say Home Eats offers a solid mix of authentic Chinese dishes alongside familiar Chinese-American favorites. Whenever we come, we almost always order the beef wrap, the numbing spicy beef, and the beef tripe--they've become our go-to dishes. Depending on whether we're here for lunch or dinner, we'll either grab one of their affordable lunch specials (I've enjoyed the orange chicken combo) or order one of their beef pots with rice. For the price, portion sizes, and overall quality, Home Eats is a pretty solid neighborhood spot that I find myself coming back to. Is it the best Chinese food I've had? No. But it's consistently good, reasonably priced, and scratches the itch whenever I'm craving Chinese food. That's what earns it a solid 4 stars from me (though if Yelp allowed quarter stars, it'd probably stand somewhere to a 4.25).

The beef was tender and coated in an addictive sauce, while the onions complemented it perfectly. The green beans were also good, although the XO sauce was spicier than what I'm used to. They were supposed to be cooked with minced pork, but there was barely any in the dish. The beef chow fun was just okay--I've had better elsewhere, so I'll probably skip it next time. I'd come back for the black pepper beef and to try a few other dishes on the menu.

Large quantity which was the only saving grace from this long wait. Food was decently good. We were given tong Sui at the end. I don't think I will return. Waiting 25 minutes for our food was too long.
