Very good place, very good food. Clean and so the good service
Xian Z.

recently visited this Chinese restaurant and had a really enjoyable experience. The food was authentic and full of flavor, especially the stir-fried dishes and dumplings -- you can tell they use fresh ingredients. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the dining experience even better. The restaurant itself was clean and had a cozy atmosphere, perfect for both family meals and casual dinners. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Chinese food. I'll be coming back to try more dishes!

60 Explosive Chili Pepper Chicken. Too spicy, not edible
Joyce T.

I visited and enjoyed Home Eat branches in Cupertino and Sunnyvale, I was excited to see their counter at the Milpitas Great Mall food court. Who knows, this was my worst experience. I had Chili Fried Chicken, which was overly spicy with absolutely no other flavor, give up after one bite. Shrimp Pork Wontons were also bad with very thick, doughy skins and a tasteless filling. Their monthly promo drinks item were either too sweet, or too watery, it was pre-mixed and no way to adjust sugar or ice level. Won't be back.

They offer delivery at several locations and are available on DoorDash!

Our friend said this is her family's favorite place to order for parties, I didn't know what everyone would like, so I said, surprise us! She ordered the Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings, Combination Chow Mein, Special Pork Bone and Tianjin Eggplant for us to share family-style. All of their dishes are made fresh to order and I could taste the love they put into them! 5/5 stars! Thank you to our friend Daisy T for getting DoorDash from their Milpitas location and welcoming us into your home! They have several locations that I would love to check out, especially the inside! SYOY! :-)

34 Beef Wrap
Alicia A.

Full scale restaurant in the mall. Pleasantly surprised that they have so much to offer. Ended up getting beef chow fun, hot and spicy noodles soup, the shredded potato salad and the beef and tripe. I really liked the food but my spice tolerance level is not there. Everything was too spicy for my tolerance level. I loved loved the shredded potato salad but could only have so much. The hot and spicy noodles were filling but had to split it over a couple of meals as it was too spicy. Also tried their beef wrapped rolls. It was nice but I would prefer to have a bit more hoisin sauce in there. Overall, will need to come back and try different things on their menu and love their concept of having a full scale restaurant in the mall and don't' have to worry about the tipping policy.

Ordered 3 items that were all not good. Shrimp pork won ton soup was boiling hot, and the won ton dumplings were all dough and little meat. The chili pepper chicken 辣子鸡 were way too spicy! They didn't even taste salty, just bitter from the chili pepper. It was so spicy we had to get a beverage-- which their strawberry juice was bad as well. Too sweet and very artificial flavoring. Maybe it's just because this branch is inside the mall but overall will not recommend.

I got the side of pig ear. I forgot the other dish I got. Flavor was good! I wish the pig ear was crunchier.

Bento

Good taste great and price is reasonable. Very convenient and fast. Will take my kids here next time!

I was surprised/happy to see home eat at the great mall. They have a pretty formidable presence in the Bay Area with several restaurants already. They are in the food court section in the great mall and occupy the space of almost 2-3 regular sized stalls. They offer cold and hot dishes, the hot dishes are similar to Panda Express style. On top of that they also have their regular menu offerings including all the specials they offer on a weekly/monthly basis at their other restaurants. I got the special for the week- salt and pepper fried fish. It was an instant gratification for some cravings after my long walk through the mall. It was delish but undeniably greasy. I ended up with a tummy ache after I devoured 5 of the fish pieces. Anyway, fish itself was soft and well cooked, outside was crispy. No weird fishy smell and the fish was tossed in some aromatics.

Their appetizers are sooo good!
Mimi L.

They increased the price on bento. Two items for $15 and they weren't even good! Portion's small and not worth it. The female staff was nice enough to add a boba milk tea at my request for only $1.75 (prob. because I speak their language.) But the boba drink was terrible! Watered down, tasteless and with tons of ice. Tapioca pearls were hard and not pleasant to eat. Not liking home eat and switching to other alternatives in food court.

Fried rice + 2 entrees
Liz C.

Home Eat is located at the food court in Great Mall and offers both fast food takeout and more restaurant like to go options. For their entree boxes, think of Panda Express but higher quality. You can order a base of fried rice or chow mein and then add entrees. They don't skimp on the portions here and pile it on really high. The entree box was just standard to us. The fried rice was on the blander side but I didn't have high expectations given its fast food style. The broccoli beef had more broccoli than beef so I was missing some of that protein but tasted pretty standard. The mapo tofu on the other hand was pretty good; it carried a spicy sichuan flavor profile that I wasn't expecting so it had a good kick. The portion for the price is a steal though and you can also add a soft drink to it. What I really liked was ordering from their kiosk where things are made to order. If you have time to wait the food comes out fresh. We ordered some salt and pepper wings and they did not disappoint. They were piping hot, crispy, juicy and tender, and had great flavor. Portion size was large, too. Would definitely come back for the wings and to try more things from their menu. Overall, lots of options to choose from whether you're in a hurry or can wait!

Combo plate, $11.99 6-piece chicken wings, $7.99
Sue S.

IMHO We had 90 minutes to kill before our "Wicked: For Good" movie time, so we headed to the Great Mall Food Court. My daughter found Home Eat, and after being offered a sample of their orange chicken, (yummy!), we decided to share a combo plate of fried rice, orange chicken, and green beans w/chicken, $11.99. We added a 6-piece side of chicken wings, $7.99, and one bottled water, $1.99, for a total of $24.02. The food was hot and delicious. We even had leftovers! Yeah, if I'm ever back in the Great Mall Food Court again, I'd hit up Home Eat again.

Each dish was pretty good and had "very strong flavors", to the point that I wish I had a balance dish like plain rice to go along with in order to eat more, but individually speaking each dish is layered very well in flavor and worth trying out. Ambiance is nice inside, service was bare minimum - I don't mind but you may need to flag a waiter several times to get their attention. Place was full and had a wait list for seating 10-30 mins or so on a weekend noontime.

Took my mom here for dinner once to try a new place/food a year ago. Probably can't eat here…read moreanymore for myself due to an allergy, but want this review out of my drafts and this place on the map. We got the Dai Style Steam Fish with Lemon and Herbs. Very tasty and different to other Yunnan cusines that we've had. We got a second/third dish that I can't recall; everything was all tasty. This place probably wouldn't be my other parentals cup of tea but I would totes come back to try their ice cream. Cute, cozy, and green asthethic spot! I can see this as a cute spot for friends or even a low-key date. I can't recall service.. but I have no complaints so can't be bad.

Came back to try more dishes because this place is honestly too good not to revisit…read more The pork and preserved egg congee has officially become my go-to here. The flavor is comforting and well-balanced without being overly salty, and the texture is smooth and satisfying. I highly recommend pairing it with their dough stick (youtiao). It's crispy on the outside, slightly chewy inside, while still staying light and fluffy. Dipping it into the congee completely changes the experience and honestly feels like a must-order combination. Another standout for me is the steamed spareribs with black bean and taro. The spareribs are tender and flavorful, and the black bean sauce adds a savory depth without overpowering the dish. Service continues to be efficient and well-organized, even when busy. One thing I noticed is that the restaurant is especially popular with elderly customers, which honestly says a lot about the food being comforting, traditional, and consistent. Almost every table had some combination of congee, rice rolls, and steamed dishes, which seems to be the way to go here. Overall, this is the kind of place that becomes easy to return to once you find your favorite dishes.

If you are looking for classic, no-frills Cantonese comfort food, Yin Ji Chang Fen is a top-tier…read morechoice. I find myself coming back here consistently for their staples. The Shrimp Rice Rolls are the clear star--the rice noodle is incredibly smooth and thin, which is the mark of a great chang fen. They don't skimp on the shrimp, and the sweet soy sauce ties it all together perfectly. For something heartier, the Wonton Noodle Soup features a very clean, savory broth and snap-to-the-bite noodles. The Pork Congee is also a winner; it's silky, flavorful, and exactly what you want on a cold day or when you're craving something soothing. We also grabbed the Shiu Mai, which were plump and well-seasoned with a great meat-to-shrimp ratio. The kitchen is efficient, and the flavors are consistently authentic. It's a reliable spot for a great quality, traditional meal that never misses the mark. Prices are reasonable and service is fairly quick but there's also a QR code for an optional online ordering for some.

About a month ago, hubby and I came here for an early lunch on a Sunday. We came in time before…read morenoon as the restaurnt became quite busy after. We were seated near the kitchen so we were able to look in and see BTS. The restaurant is very spacious, clean and bright with a modern design. There are booth tables against wall and tables in the middle of the restaurant. A QR code is is availble at the table for you to view menu and order. I actually like this better as I don't feel rush to order and gives me the chance to look through the menu without feeling rush to order. Iced water was brought out instantly. We ordered the following: 1. Lamb skewer, spicy: you can smell the intensity of the spice when the dish was brought out from the chili powder. The meat is moist and grilled well w/ a nice crisp. There is no gamey smell. I took a first bite but the chili powder slightly burned my gums. Had to ask Hubby to shake some of the chili poweder off the skewers for me. Its a messy dish but very tasty. 2. Spicy beef soup w/ wide noodles: Noodles are HUGE! About 1.5 inches wide and forever long. I had to use the scissors to cut it up. Noodles are good. Chewey texture just as I like it. Comes with a whole egg and beef. The broth has a nice spice to it and unlike other spicy noodle soup I've tried, it does not taste oily or overwhelmed with spices esp Sze Chuan chilis. It had a good balace of savory and spiciness. 3. Wide noodles w/ braised chicken: This dish is delish but it's a BIG dish like a whole chicken was prepared! Can feed up to 4-5 people. It's the size of a medium pizza or even a Large.The thick sauce is very flavorful but not salty. It comes with potatoes, carrots, onions, green bell peppers, and dried whole chili. Its not spicy but may be for kids as we have a high spicy tolerance. Only thing about this plate I didn't like it there's bones. We ended 2 more meals with the leftover. The noodles are hand pulled in house as we sat by the kitchen and saw the kitchen staff making it. Food comes out pretty quick and service is very good. The staff are very attentive and met our needs promptly. We definitely will return to try other plates as the menu is pretty big.

Bought the Braised Beef Soup Noodles last week. Asked for chili oil but when we brought it home,…read morethere wasn't any chili oil so the noodle tasted really plain. Not good at all wasted $20 with tax. Not worth it. Make sure you guys give what was requested otherwise you will lose alot of customers. Hope this review helps!

I was shocked, to say the least, about the quality of this unassuming restaurant in Milpitas…read more Serving up authentic cuisine for a reasonable price -- this place is a combination of quality comfort food meets affordability. The service is what you'd expect at an Asian restaurant in the Bay -- efficient and no frills -- but gets the job done well. Immediately after the food arrived -- we dug in. Not just because we were famished, but because it was THAT good. (One of those situations where you stop talking and just eat...) I'd wholly recommend the Oyster Pancake (a balance of briny seafood with sweet pancake sauce) and the Specialty Hakka Noodles ("Q," i.e. chewy, in the most perfect sense). Will definitely make a pit stop in Milpitas for Taiwan Cafe next time in Milpitas and highly recommend for anyone who's looking for a taste of some excellent Taiwanese cooking.
