Clockwise: Steamed code, cucumber salad and sweet and sour pork.
Helen D.

We had a craving for steam fish so found this place on Yelp! We enjoyed our simple meal of steam cod, sweet and sour pork and cucumber salad. The service was good. Just be aware that they only accept cash or zelle. Overall it was good and we'll be back when we are in the area.

Steamed cod $26 is a winning dish
Truman W.

Passing through Chino Hills on a road trip and decided to come here for dinner. This is an odd Sichuan and Shanghainese fusion restaurant. I am more of a Shanghainese food aficionado and their Shanghainese offerings are few and disappointing -- stewed pork belly and eggs were way too fatty to the level of unhealthy, beef noodle soup had good broth and noodle but the beef was way too tough and rubbery. However, their steamed cod was a winner - super yummy sauce and tender flakey fish... but then I could easily make this dish at home. Chino Hills' thriving Chinese food scene is still missing an authentic Shanghainese restaurant.

Just as good as always. Home cooking had shut down for a little while and reopened in the same plaza. Thankfully, the food is just as good as before and the decor has been updated. Service was good too.

E1. Beef Stew Noodle Soup
Daniel L.

Great place for some soup and stir fried noodles! This establishment replaced the old JJ Noodle, and quality is the same as before. Perhaps, they kept the old chef from before? My friends and I ordered the beef noodle soup, beef chow mein, spicy seafood chow mein, Taiwan Style chow mein, cucumber salad, and the Hot & Sour soup. For the chow mein, we ordered knife cut style (刀削麵). While, the beef noodles were ordered with regular noodles. Almost everything was delicious. The only thing that could be improved on is their Hot & Sour soup, which was far too sour to our liking. But, besides that service was amazing and the noodle dishes is satisfying! Will definitely return for the noodles again. Recommend.

THEY MOVED! I was so distraught and thought they closed when we saw Marugame Udon move into their old spot. They're now across the parking lot, next to Peyton Dr. instead. The interior is brand new and very clean, and the food is, as always, so incredibly yummy! They serve the most authentic Chinese food in the area. Food is piping hot when it comes out, and server is very kind! Absolutely delicious. Will keep coming back!

New location across the strip mall

They MOVED.... Across the strip mall to replace Noodle House!!! I'm so happy they didn't close permanently, I was so distraught for a few days when I thought they closed Their dishes aren't always perfect but it's where I get some of my fav shanghainese dishes and no where else nearby serves as good of a 五更畅旺。 THANK GOODNESS.

Located in the very corner of the plaza, which could easily be missed. The place was clean and organized without the clutter in sight. The menu offers a large selection of Chinese homecooking food from different regions. I ordered a kidney dish. It was served within a timely manner. The kidney was cleaned properly and didn't yield any strange scent; it was very tasty and not super greasy either. The dishi s going to taste more like homecooking like its name, so don't expect exquisite flavors. The service was prompt and friendly for a Chinese restaurant. Overall, it gets a 4.2 out of 4.0.

Shrimp with chili
Ann M.

I picked up food here on the way home and was pleasantly surprised. The food was quality and the flavors were legit good. Positives were being able to choose level of spiciness which is great. Mild for me still had a good kick. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. Not dry or tough. The fried pork chops were crispy, not overcooked, not dry inside with a flavorful batter. The green beans still had some crunch to it and the sauce coated the beans well. All that with the mixed fried rice topped off to a great meal. Portions are perfect size and you get a good amount of food. They def have the wok hay that is characteristic of good Chinese food. Will def go back again to try other dishes.

Home Cooking is the best Chinese food in the Chino Hills area (since forever). The first I visited Home Cooking was 13+ years ago. It was the best and (probably) the only authentic Chinese food restaurant in Chino Hills then. There are more authentic Chinese/Cantonese/Taiwanese food restaurants opened in the area today, but Home Cooking is still the best, especially when it comes to vegetarian options. The service was excellent. It's so nice of them to offer us warm/hot water on cold days. The food was not the best in SoCal but it's one of the best in the I.E. area for sure. They don't have tons of vegetarian dishes. But it's enough for a meal for a party of 4. We had: - cucumber salad 拍黄瓜: They were able to not add sugar to this dish for us. This was not the northern Chinese-style cucumber salad which was spicy, but it was super delicious. The cucumber was fresh and crunchy. This was our favorite dish in our meal. - black mushroom with gluten 香菇面筋煲 I liked this dish a lot. This was a high-protein vegetarian dish. What's not to like? This dish will be perfect if it's more flavorful. - scallion noodle 葱油拌面 The noodles were too thick for my taste. I would like the dish more if they put more scallions with a different noodle type. - Cauliflower Griddle 干锅花菜 (vegetarian) We were so happy this was a vegetarian dish. It's not spicy enough for our taste. But this is ok since this is not a Hunan or Sichuan style Chinese food so we didn't expect spicy Chinese food here. However, this dish was a bit sweet for me.

Passed through today by accident and ended up ordering two appetizers (cucumber salad and wontons in red chili oil). I was very satisfied with my simple, but delicious to-go order! The cucumber salad was light, savory, and crunchy. Though you can't see it in the photo, the wontons were the perfect amount and had a flavorful garlic chili oil. If you're afraid of the spice level, don't be intimidated as it was enjoyable and more flavorful than it being spicy at all. The garnish was a nice mix of fresh cilantro and green onion. The service was incredibly polite and quick. They have an order ahead option that might be great if you're ordering a full dinner, but for a brief walk in for 2 appetizers, I was in and out in 10 minutes. The restaurant has an intimate space and was clean, with ample parking right in front. Overall a pleasant experience, and I can't wait to try more from their menu!

Lamb

I was craving some Chinese food and I guess since it's the first day of March I wanted to try out this Home Cooking restaurant near my place which is located in Chino Hills. During dinner time I noticed how busy this place was and also how well the food tasted. It does taste like home cooking! The dishes that I had ordered was frog (don't knock it until you try it) which is made with chili spices, bean sprouts, celery, mushrooms, and even had lotus which I rarely see! It tasted yummy and if you haven't had frog it reminds me something of a similar taste to chicken. We also ordered lamb, which is also cooked with chili but to me, it isn't as spicy as some places so if you are new to Chinese dishes maybe go with this one! Either way, it really tasted like fresh vegetables were used in the dish and almost like a home-cooked meal. If both the lamb and frog isn't your style don't worry they even have this tasty deep-fried orange chicken! Not too sweet and it isn't at all spicy! Great for kids or if you just want something simple! The next dish was steamed egg, stir-fried vegetables and a steamed cod, and a seafood soup (got to always order a soup for Chinese dinners). All of the dishes are what I would consider a very traditional Chinese meal. It's filled with flavor but not overwhelming. Plenty of vegetables which I'm a fan of and enjoy. A great place to bring family and friends so you can order more dishes to try out!

Restaurant was nice, quiet (since it was just a handful of stragglers and other people late for the lunch hours), clean, and typical decor of a Chinese restaurant. Wait wasn't too long, but could've been a bit faster. Though the pork was good, I think they left the sauce on the heat for way too long maybe? I know because I cooked this dish at home myself before, and I could tell that they reduced it for far far far too long and the sauce was right on the edge of burnt, and was thick/molasses like, and a bit bitter when it should have been sweet/umami. Like the sauce was dark almost black instead of more red. But! I will give it to them, it was pretty tasty especially when mixed with rice so I guess I couldn't complain too much! The noodles were good, but the pork stole the show so I can't say I recall much, but with some chili oil the green onion noodles were fantastic.

I know I'm in the right place for authentic Chinese food when I walk in and see tables of elderly people that speak Chinese/Shanghai-nese and the waiters/waitresses know their regular patrons personally. I was in Rowland and craving 魚香肉絲 from a no frills restaurant (not from those unnecessarily expensive/ornate restaurants) and found S&W in the plaza across Auntea Jenny's. We ordered the dish I was craving, which translates to fish braised meat strips?? The dish does not have a fish taste at all but more of a tangy/sweet-ish/salty flavor that I love. The portion was large for the price and it came out perfectly seasoned - my craving was satisfied. This dish had more meat than I am used to and do wish they added 木耳 or 豆乾 to lighten it up a bit. Also ordered the meatballs which were large and hefty! They were so good and perfect with rice. Came with napa cabbage and fresh bamboo as well. Lastly, we ordered the seaweed fried fish, which hit the spot for my fish craving. The fish wasn't fishy at all and the flavor was good. Wish they provided the salt and pepper dip but I guess we could have asked them and they would have provided. Service was extremely kind, it felt like I was eating at my mom's home and the food hit the spot. They offered free rice ball dessert at the end but we were so stuffed we had to pass, but the table next to us got it and it looked delicious! Will have to try next time. I will likely bring my parents here next time as they also enjoy a no-frills Chinese restaurant!

The spicy shrimp wontons are also good, but I think the flavors don't quite hit as well - big pieces of shrimp are enclosed though! The Peppered Beef Udon was great the beef pieces were tender and juicy and great textured noodles.

Pro tip: If you are a first timer/came from far and waited a while don't let them seat you at the bar the experience is not as nice by far (I saw someone say it's like paying to stare at a wall - I concur) Being seated at a booth or table will allow you the full experience but I do understand there's only a limited amount of room in the bustling place.

The most attractive part of dining here is their incredible "Buy 4 Dishes, Get 1 Free" deal, which they offer all day long. In an area where prices are constantly rising, this deal makes it one of the most affordable and satisfying options for a large group. Because of this value and the quality of the food, the restaurant is always busy, but it's well worth the wait. I like to recommend a few dishes there. Hu Nan Tofu: This is my mother-in-law's absolute favorite. The sauce is the star here--it's savory and perfectly seasoned, making the tofu taste amazing. Crab Meat Fish Maw Soup: I highly recommend starting your meal with this. It's comforting, rich, and high-quality. You must add red vinegar and pepper to make it perfect. Bitter Melon: They cook the bitter melon really well here, balancing the flavors so it's not over-powering. House Special Garlic & Chili Seasoning (Crab/Lobster): For special occasions, their seasoned crab and lobster are fantastic. The garlic and chili kick really elevates the fresh seafood. Whether it's a casual weeknight dinner or a big family celebration, LT Shanghai delivers consistent, comforting flavors. It truly feels like a "home away from home" for Chinese cuisine.
