    2nd locattion for owners. Outstanding food quality. Replicates authentic savory taste from China. Not americanized. Not panda express sweet. Mapo Tofu: very difficult to get right, different variants of salty and mala balanced. Very far distance from simple boil tofu in chicken broth and add garlic chili sauce. Can see sichuan preserved mustard root, fermented beans from doubanjiang and other spices in there. at the level of the best versions in the area including the ones which are 3-4x more expensive. garlic chive egg savory turnover, jiucai hezi: frozen, very thin outside wrapper. Use air fryer to crisp up so it isn't soaked in oil. Unique in how thin the outside wrapper is so you get mouthfulls of chives and egg without being diluted with big chunks of dough. The best in memory. Not supposed to be a mexican empanada which is much more dough. Frozen wonton: burst in mouth sensation of texture contrast between soft wonton wrapper, crunchy piece of shrimp and pork juice. Shrimp has to be big enough so the crunchy chew lasts more than 1 bite. Better than 90% of the frozen wontons available. Braised bamboo shoots: they sell these at 99ranch in refrigerated section. Crunchy, used both mustard root and salted mustard green. Bamboo not overcooked, crunchy with savory from mustard green leaf and root. Delicious. Not available at panda express or anyother takeout place. Guo Bao Rou: authentic northern china version of sweet sour pork. the red americanized version is copied from this. Slightly sweet and sour. Signature dish. Must try. Good chefs from China are here. Stays crunchy after sauce is applied. If left at room temperature pork is potato chip crunchy hous later. 2-3 item bento box: they have 15 consistent selections which you can order on fantuan. Following selections. Spicy Tofu Signature Classic Sweet Crispy Pork Northeastern Braised Pork Kung Pao Chicken Braised Pork Stew Braised Bamboo Shoots Salt And Pepper Fish Fillet Garlic Broccoli Stir-fried Pork with Chili Homemade Tofu Three Fresh Vegetables Stir-fried Fish Fillet Chicken with Chili Salt And Pepper Pork Ribs Extremely high quality for takeout place. Few tables outside. Frozen dim sum/pastries might be better than Jenny's kitchen which until now was the gold standard.

    Stopped by this bento express spot around 5pm, which is the perfect time because all the food options were still available. I picked three items, and the total came out to about $17 after tax. The fried rice was the standout -- not dry, not too salty, and really well-balanced. It paired nicely with their signature sweet crispy pork, though the pork itself wasn't actually crispy. The flavor was a little sweet and the sauce was tasty, but the texture wasn't what I expected.

    Called in ahead to order the salt and pepper wings off the appetizer part of the menu. Arrived to pick them up and decided to get the rest of the broccoli! I don't know how long the broccoli was sitting there for but they were sooo delicious and still very crispy!!! Also, they were nice enough to throw in their HOUSE SPECIALTY, SWEET N SOUR PORK!!! Which is AAAMMMAAAZZZIIINNNGG

    Tripe

    Hole in the wall Chinese fast food. Just like Panda Express but with some other authentic items. Not bad.

    I have been a Home Eat fan since they opened the Cupertino location! I'm glad they decided to open…read moreanother location here in Sunnyvale. 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.

Seated quickly and was given menus. We had to flag someone down and the lady decided to comment that we ordered too much carbs... I'm like okay... We ordered a fried sticky rice, e-noodles, and a seafood clay pot. Thank god for the complimentary salted peanuts or we would be starving. We waited over 25 minutes for our food. 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.

    Came here with a party of 10 and we ordered a ton of food: jjamppong, jajangmyeon, Mongolian beef,…read morehoney walnut shrimp, mapo tofu, bok choy, and salt and pepper fish. Was a good blend of both Korean and Chinese food and we pretty much devoured everything! The jajangmyeon was SOOO good. I love a good jajangmyeon and this definitely gave me a new go-to place to order some. We also got a pear slushie that was a very welcome surprise. I'm not usually a pear person, but it tasted exactly like an Asian pear and I can't stop thinking about it The restaurant has a really homey and clean feel with very nice employees and is a great spot for a big group. There's a parking lot in the back, although it's pretty tight, plus street parking along El Camino or on Pomelo. Would definitely come back!
