    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

    This is my second time at Home Eat, and it continues to be a great casual spot with delicious food…read more Service is efficient. You place your order through a QR code, which makes the process quick and easy. This visit, we ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, Tidu Sliced Beef Pot, and Tianjin Eggplant. The wings are a must-order here. They're always perfectly fried and crispy on the outside while still staying juicy and tender inside. The Tidu Sliced Beef Pot reminded me of a dry hot pot. It had a great mala flavor with a subtle numbing sensation, and the peanuts added a nice crunch and texture to the dish. The Tianjin Eggplant was simple but delicious, with flavorful pork that paired really well with the soft eggplant. Overall, the food here is comforting and satisfying. It's a place I'll definitely keep coming back to.

    I used Yelp's feature to connect with DoorDash to do a to-go order…read more I was picking up dinner for a friend who just moved, and she recommended this spot. It's in a busy complex, but there was enough parking. When I walked in, I noticed they had a half-empty dining room but a ton of to-go orders wrapped up, including mine. I really loved the Mongolian beef, and the eggplant dish we got was good too. The chow mein was good. I did like the cucumber salad, but it would be better if it were sliced smaller, so the marinade could infuse the cucumbers. Service was friendly. Food was very fresh. I did notice the portion sizes were generous and we had plenty of leftovers!

It's tucked inside the…read moreRamada Hotel in Sunnyvale, and the setup is surprisingly nice--clean banquet seating, way less cramped than your usual dim sum spots, and they have huge TVs all over the place. We actually watched the World Cup final here and the atmosphere was awesome. The dim sum is traditional Hong Kong style, and the quality is definitely there. You definitely need to get the Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Buns. They look cool with the black and gold style, and the molten salted egg yolk center is perfectly rich without being overly sweet. The Lychee Shrimp Balls are super unique too; they look exactly like real lychees on the outside but are stuffed with a snappy shrimp paste that isn't greasy at all. For the classic stuff, the Har Gaw and Siu Mai hit the spot--the skins hold up well without tearing and the pieces are nice and plump. The Baked BBQ Pork Buns are also great, with that crispy, sweet polo-style topping and a good amount of savory pork filling inside. Service can be a little slow on busy weekends since the place gets packed with families, but the staff keeps the kitchen moving as fast as they can. If you want high-quality Cantonese comfort food, excellent dim sum, and a great space to catch a game, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

    Visited again, this time with a bigger group, which allowed us to try a lot more of the menu…read more We started with the Tri-Color Platter (Octopus, Jelly Fish & Green Seaweed Salad), which made for a great, refreshing starter. Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Roll, and Steamed Sparerib, all were good as usual. Half Peking Duck was a highlight, love the perfectly thin and crispy skin. Fried E-Fu Noodle with Lobster - the lobster is fresh and huge, great flavor without being overly salty nor greasy. Black Pepper Beef Fillet with Assorted Mushroom, I like the tender beef and the mushrooms were well seasoned. Sautéed Chinese Broccoli (kailan) with Dried Flounder Flake, the flavor was good, but the kailan stems were cut too large, difficult to eat. We finished with satisfying desserts, Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Bun was excellent with the lava effect. Mango Pomelo Sago was awesome, and the Snow Lotus Seed Peach Resin was really good and not too sweet. Everyone was full and happy.
