Every time I pass by. I've Been wanting to try this restaurant out for a while and I finally got a chance to check them out. I tried the Chicken w/ Garlic sauce lunch special, with an egg roll added to my order. The choices of fried rice that come with the lunch specials are pork fried rice or substitute for white rice. You have to request for chicken or shrimp fried rice. Chicken fried rice is $1.00 extra and Shrimp fried rice is $1.50 extra. The lunch special also comes with the choice of Egg Drop Soup, Wonton Soup, or Hot & Sour Soup. In my opinion the chicken w/ Garlic sauce lunch special was bland, and the portion was small. I had to add 2 soy sauce packets to get it to my liking. Also In my opinion the egg roll was very bland, lacking flavor as well. The Hot & Sour soup was very good with great flavor. I will Definitely get the Hot & Sour soup on days I'm on a budget. But for the most part, there portions are small for the price they charge. And a beverage is not included. In my opinion you can find better, with a larger portion for the same price with a pop included. Overall they're polite and have quick service. The Eating area was clean, and spacious. read more

Sweet people working the place. Food is good. A bit outdated but a small local goodie.

The rice was so gummy I couldn't eat it. The vegetables were fresh. The vegetable egg foo young was a flat pancake and burnt. The service was good, the restaurant was very clean and well lit. This was my first and last visit. read more

This is the nastiest Chinese food I have ever eaten. They get business and stay in business because there are no other Chinese food restaurants in the area. I have never, ever, never, ever had a flat egg foo young patty. Where are the bean sprouts? You can see the vegetables but can't taste them. The gravy was thin as heck- poured like water. The fried rice had no taste. None of it had taste. It is 4:25 am and I am still pissed. read more

Always a great experience! The food is good, with good sized portions and the employees are always kind and friendly. The chicken with garlic sauce is good, and the fried dumplings are always tasty. It's my go to spot whenever I'm craving good Chinese food. They even make their shrimp with lobster sauce the right way compared to some of the other places around the area. read more

This was a great place to have great Asian food without going downtown Will go back with my family when they visit read more

The food was just okay to me the fried rice wasn't fried it was just like they just mixed white rice with vegetables. The service was mediocre read more

Try the fried rice and dumplings.. it's worth it. Fast and fresh food and friendly service. The rice is more yellow rice than heavy soy sauce. Which I personally like. read more

Eat Rice - a variety of food in plastic containers - Chinese Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

Food is always fresh and delicious. Services polite and continue ambiance is mellow and relaxing

Food is tasty and cooked when ordered. People are courteous. Prices are reasonable. I'd recommend this restaurant.

I really tried to like Eat Rice since it's a local establishment and easy to get too. The restaurant is very cozy, cute, and clean. I've actually eaten here about 10 times and the food is reasonably priced. But honestly, the food quality is inconsistent. Sometimes it's decent ...Well all food tastes decent when you're hungry. And sometimes the food is nasty as ever. Well last night was officially the last time I will eat there. The food was flavorless!!!!!! The Crab Ragoons were very tiny, dried out, and they tasted old. The Egg Foo young patties were loose and runny, greasy; skimpy on the ingredients, only 2 shrimps per patty, and it was just basically a scrambled egg! The rice was overcooked and sticky. The egg rolls were small, dried out, flavorless, and dry. I couldn't even identify what ingredients when in there. Then on top of that I got a tummy ache directly after eating it. The best part of the meal was the fortune cookie...... Anyhow, I've learned my lesson. "NO MO EAT RICE!!!" read more

Eat rice good. The Egg fu yung with chicken is delicious and I love there white rice. Also the beef and broccoli is very tasty. I call for lunch or dinner. Downtown Homewood, Illinois a nice place to dine or carry out your order. I always call ahead and my order is always ready when I present myself. Try em out. You won't regret it. read more

Food is pretty good mostly. Their smoothies are solid as well. It is way cheaper than Asian Harbor but you get what you pay for. Service is just okay. Nice little place. read more

Food is delicious and the service is great. The amount of food that you get is amazing and the price is just right.

Subpar Chinese takeout. The roasted pork chow mein tasted like dishwater last time we ordered. Teriyaki chicken had gross amounts of fat. I've tried to like this place several times in the six years I've lived in Homewood, and I just can't. I regret it every time I allow my kids or partner to persuade me to order from Eat Rice. read more

Best Chinese food around. Thankfully with the pandemic they moved the tables and washed the floors. It's all really good and everything takes 15 minutes. read more

Love their steamed dumplings and chicken fried rice. Gives you more than you can eat which is always a great thing!! Highly recommend

I've Been Here A Few Times When I'm In The Area & I Stopped In Today! Its A Nice Restaurant To Me Because You Can Dine In & Also See The Cooks In The Back Cooking Which Is Cool! It Was A Little Busy With Other Customers & Phone Calls But Service Was Nice & Didn't Take To Long(I Say About 10 - 12 Mins! I Ordered The Orange Chicken Lunch Combo! The Food Was Good But I Feel Like It Could Be Better! The Orange Chicken Was Good But Could Have Been A Bit More Tender! I Like The Choice Of Soup Or Egg Roll But The Dinner Could Have More Rice! Its Also Disappointing Because Of No Sweet & Sour Sauce! The Prices Are Also A Bit High(Maybe Because Of The Area)! This Place Is Good But I Could See Some Improvements! 3 Stars From Me! read more

Eat Rice - Inside With My Take Home Menu! - Chinese Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

Fresh and delicious dishes prepared as you order. Seriously, doesn't get any better than Eat Rice!

This is our "weekly" chinese place. We mostly eat in their nice dining room but sometimes we order carry out. It is really good, cheap chinese food. It is incredible how much food they give you for under $10. We've never been unhappy. Everyone who works there speaks Chinese (I assume anyway), and the children of the family who own it often can be seen playing or being kept busy in the dining room. For dining room ambience, this is the best Chinese restaurant in Homewood. And it is a short walk from several excellent bars and the whole downtown area. read more

I am not super into Chinese Food but I LOVE this place! The food it AWESOME! The staff is SUPER helpful and amazing as well! Highly recommend this place! read more

I just moved to the neighborhood, trying out a lot of the spots. The food was not that good from here, average at most. I think the main disappointment for me was the fried rice. It was just plain rice fried with nothing else. No onion, no egg, nothing at all. Just brown greasy rice. Sad to say this will not be a go to spot for me. read more

Chinese food - tasty and cheap. I love the smoothies with the tapioca - yum!! The pan fried dumplings are very good and the hot and sour soup is some of the best I've ever had. They sell their t-shirts for $9.99... hubby wants one... maybe for Christmas!! =] read more

Bland and boring but perhaps leaving the orders up to my Irish brother in law led us down that road once again... Chinese cuisine that left us with full bellys and no cravings for our leftovers. The best part of the order was the texture of the Lo Mein noodles and tasty tasty fortune cookies... the bland chewy beef with Chinese vegetables made me sleepy and searching for some salt. I just don't get it... there are Billions of Chinese enjoying this food everyday but I just can't get it right at these locals spots. I definitely need to head down to Chinatown someday soon for a little menu advice. read more

Eat Rice is my favorite go-to spot for Chinese food! I've been coming here for years and the food is always consistently delicious. The portions are very generous too. I definitely recommend the lunch/dinner specials. I have brought so many of my family and friends here over the years and everyone agrees that Eat Rice is delicious. I always order the orange chicken, but everything that my fellow diners have ordered has received glowing reviews too. The service is always quick and friendly, plus the prices are fair (especially considering how much food you get). Support small businesses! read more

Always a good experience. Excellent smoothies with tapioca! Friendly and super speedy fast service & food!!! Try the Fried Doughnuts & the Chow Mei Fun!!! read more

Ordered take away this evening. Asked for NO corn (hate them) and NO broccoli (not my favorite veg) in my shrimp dish. Half the container was broccoli with significant corns. I would have been happy with a lot o' carrots and onions. My husband thinks it's good Chinese. I think it's mediocre. But, it's close to the house, therefore convenient. I am going to put my foot down and insist on Thai the next time!!! read more

Husband loves this place me not so much... they put carrots in their egg food young and their fried rice is light brown total turn off

Gross food. Ordered a lot of food too, we ordered wonton soup, hot and sour soup, kung pao chicken, chicken with mixed vegetables, egg rolls and chicken fried rice. The hot and sour soup, wonton soup and eggrolls were good. The chicken with mixed vegetables was not great but edible. The chicken fried rice is so bland, there is almost no flavor to it at all. The kung pao chicken is disgusting. Also very bland. Very little ""chicken" and the chicken that is in there has no meat, its all fat. Which is hard for me to comprehend, I was questioning if it was even chicken I kept eating but there is nothing else in it that would be chicken. It has almost a very squishy tofu consistency to it. I couldnt even eat it it is so disgusting. Will never go back and don't recommend eating here. read more

Delicious food, great prices, and super fast delivery! We order from here at my work all the time!

This is our lil spot. My kids love the noodles and my husband and I love the egg foo young. Service is always fast and fresh.

This USE to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. Over the years their food and service has decline. Tonight will be last night I'll be visiting Eat Rice. Tonight we dined in and the server was just plain rude. He didn't greet us. He dropped the menu and continue to other tables. now when I say drop, I mean drop the menus and left. Ok, I let that past. Came back took our drink orders and served us our drinks and just like the menus he dropped the straws. Now I'm just irritated. When he came back to take our order, he asked if we were ready and before I could answer he walked away. WTF?! Came back a few minutes later and took our order. We gave him the numbers on the menu like we've done past and he got upset and said, no what is the name. At this point I wanted to walk out but the kids were hungry and it was 8:30 p.m. Brought our food out but my husbands. Our fried rice had chucks of onions. Onions cut up for a stew, it wasn't even cooked. It was Like they added ingredient together to already made fried rice. My son had chicken tenders in his chicken fried. He didn't refill our water we had to ask. My children and I was half way through with our meal and my husband still didn't receive his meal. When we told the server to cancel his order he said, it was coming now. I told him no and cancel the order he told me to take it to go. I had to get loud and tell him no. Asked for to go boxes and brought us one small box for two separate meals. Writing this review has made me hate this restaurant. Just because I had to relive to experience. read more
