Japanese beer

Located at the first floor of Asia Mall, this is good dim sum and other Chinese dishes! The Peking duck is authentic and delicious! Service is fast and the place is casual enough that you can bring your young kids! A perfect place to enjoy Asian cuisine in a relaxing environment with either family or friends!

Mongolian Chicken / 蒙古鸡

After walking around the Asian Mall, we were ready for lunch. We ordered various items, like Mongolian beef, steam pork bbq buns, barbecue pork, duck soup, and Kung Pao chicken. The waiter attended to us within a few short minutes of being seated. Our food was somewhat Lukewarm which is the only negative but overall, everything was tasty and delicious.

Get the duck! It's good. Dim sum is average. Still pretty good for twin city. Service is very fast and friendly. Good ambiance inside Asia mall. You can go grocery shopping after

Roast Pork & BBQ Pork / 双拼 (烧肉&叉烧)
Wai S.

As an ABC who grew up in the San Gabriel Valley in LA, I've had my fair share of incredible Cantonese food. Hometaste in Eden Prairie really hit the mark and brought me right back to the kind of comfort food I grew up with. I ordered the roast pork from the fatty cut, and it was exactly how it should be. Moist, flavorful meat with perfectly crispy skin. The cha siu was just as good, with a sweet, sticky glaze that struck a great balance without being too heavy. I also tried the salted fish and chicken fried rice, and it had that bold, pungent, savory punch I was hoping for. Super satisfying. Dining room was spacious and the servers were on point. The whole meal reminded me of the classic Hong Kong BBQ spots back in LA, like Sam Woo. Hometaste absolutely holds its own, and I'd recommend it to anyone craving real-deal Cantonese flavors in Minnesota. I'll definitely be back.

Dim sum is amazing and such reasonable price. Such a gem. Portion is generous. Service is great! Very attentive! The location, you would think, is great since it is on the other side of the carts with a big window. BUT!... there are no big visible sign on that wall like the Vietnamese place across the corner. We had to serious search for the place. They should reconsider putting more signs. We are used to going upstairs to the dim sum place since its in their name but upstairs does not compare to this place. Their menu outside of dim sum is also a lot better. Must try!!!

Roast Pork & BBQ Pork / 双拼 (烧肉&叉烧) and salted Salty Fish Shrimp Fried Rice / 咸鱼虾炒饭

My friends and me love stopping by home taste before we shop at Asia mall to get their bbq and roast pork platter. Perfectly juicy and crispy and they're always super friendly to us. When we went during lunar new years they also gave us some orange slices too once we finished our meal. I'd also recommend getting salted fish fried rice as well to accompany the pork dishes!

Came here for lunch and loved the food. We had the lobster fried sticky rice and the salt and hot pepper baby squid. Both were delicious and flavorful. Enjoyed the overall ambiance of the place and the service was great. Planning to come back to try more of the menu!

BBQ Pork & Smoked Eel Over Fried Rice / 鳗鱼叉烧炒饭
Grant L.

Very chill space, really kind staff, wonderful food with great portions. Very filling!! Me and the bf ordered some bbq pork with smoked eel over fried rice for me, and for him some sweet and sour shrimp. We also got some Hong Kong milk tea, which tasted great with what i would describe as a great drink with a hint of creme brûlée (taste) loved it. We also got some shrimp and crab meat rolls, it came with what we believe to be yumyum sauce (we didnt ask but we should have) the rolls were wonderful and crispy. They also have peking duck in some windows in the wall and some other stuff that i cant think of how to word or describe atm but we absolutely adore the place. They also gave us tea and some iced water after we sat down!! The warm/hot tea was very nice as well and helped i think cleanse our palates! Highly recommend this place at the Asia Mall.

Chinese BBQ and live seafood!
Peter S.

This was my first trip to Asia Mall. It was an eye-opening experience to see a NYC or LA style Asian only mall in MN! It's been a super long time coming. Home Taste is the only Cantonese Restaurant in the mall. I might add that it is the only authentic Cantonese restaurant in the Edina/Chanhassen/Eden Prairie/West Bloomington region. I went at the end of the day on a Saturday when things were winding down for dinner for one. The restaurant has an inviting and open feel. It's very clean and tidy, with a modern build-out reminiscent of newer restaurants in Flushing NY or Brooklyn Chinatown. I ran into an old waiter I knew from Mandarin Kitchen and Hong Kong Noodle. This put me at ease as I knew what level of service I would expect, as those Cantonese places valued service at dinner time. I was sad to read about the bad reviews due to service here as it was definitely not the case for me. My server was attentive, with the right amount of engagement and giving space. There were never complaints regarding table service from me or my Hong Kong family at HK Noodle, Mandarin, and now at Home Taste. I ordered the Seafood Pan Fried Noodle, which is a classic Cantonese dinner noodle entrée. This is the very dish where the American Chow Mein was based, except it's 100% better than the American-Chinese version in it's authentic form. They stir fry lo mein egg noodles, and quickly dip them into the fryer to get the edges crisp. They then put a simple stir fried mix, in this case seafood (prawns, squid, and large tilapia filets) with veggies in a classic garlic white sauce, and pour it on top of the partially crispy noodles. The result is a mix of yummy saucy with a little bit of crunch. Now the level of cooking at Home Taste is what I would rate as homecook+. Meaning it's just a little better than your average homecook. Well my mom is a near-gourmet chef. She learns from Shanghai's top chef's for fun. So that's not a fair comparison lol. I would say that compared to the other Cantonese places in town, it's a 3 out of 5 on food. The ingredients were super fresh, the presentation was spot on. Taste, well, it's "Home Taste." They are truthful in their assessment of themselves. The biggest complaint was the bill. Holy cow with tip it was getting close to $40 for one singular noodle entrée out the door. Maybe it's par for the course for authentic Cantonese dining now. It's getting to the point now where I need to pay mom for Zoom cooking lessons lolol. So the one lost star was more for the relatively blandness of the dish compared to the price charged. It is the ONLY formal dining spot in the Mall, and the classiest one at that. So that's what you're paying for. If you're here with your family with the in-law's, and don't feel like getting messy in a smash your face silly AYCE hot pot joint, then this is your only choice unless you drive all the way across to Mandarin Kitchen in East Bloomington.

Kung Pao lunch plate
Brian S.

Home Taste is a fairly traditional, Cantonese-style Chinese restaurant located inside Asia Mall. We had lunch here with our toddler, and it was a (mostly) good experience. We were drawn to the restaurant because of all of the menu choices/options, and we especially liked how they offer "combo" lunch specials, with a main dish, steamed/fried rice, and an egg roll. We also liked how it reminded us of places we use to go in San Francisco. The food was pretty good. Our daughter really liked the rice and egg roll, and we both liked our main courses. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were good. The restaurant was fairly quiet when we arrived, but started to get pretty busy as we were finishing. Seating is somewhat standard for a sit-down Cantonese restaurant, with a mix of smaller and also larger tables capable of seating 10 or more people. Service was fast at the beginning, but as the restaurant got busier, it got slower, and although we ordered and got our food fairly quickly, we had a hard time getting our check. While we wouldn't drive all the way from Minneapolis just to eat at Home Taste, we would definitely visit again if we are in the area!

1/2 Hong Kong Fried  Duck
Sheri S.

Home Taste was a solid option for dinner while at Asia Mall. We had dinner here and shared a feast. It was perfect that we did not have to wait at all before getting seated. For starters, we decided to get the cream cheese wonton. They were hot and crispy with the right amount of cheese goosiness. For our main course, we shared the fried rice, Chinese Broccoli, and 1/2 Hong Kong Fried Duck. The portions were definitely generous. Plus, the flavor was just right for the fried rice. The Chinese Broccoli were just steamed right and not too salty. The duck was ok, in my opinion, because I wanted more meat, but it was more lean than I liked. I was very happy about having an abundance of leftovers to go.

Pan Fried Noodle
Ben K.

We finally made it to Asia Mall, and we didn't really have a plan! We saw Home Taste, and it had a much shorter wait than Hot Pot City, so we grabbed a table! The space is very plain. No real interior design or coziness to it! Service was very quick and attentive during our whole stay. The food was alright. We take some of the blame for not ordering our favorite items, but the Cheese Wontons, Panfried Noodle, and Japanese fried rice had muted flavors and finished salty. We'll definitely give this spot another chance but I wasn't blown away by any means.

Fried pork dumplings
Ben J.

Stopped in to the Asia Mall in Eden Prarie for a few groceries and dinner. Came across Home Taste Hong Kong Cuisine for dinner. Ordered one of my favorites, salted fish and chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and fried pork dumplings. The fried rice was tasty with a little hint of salted fish. I like a little more salted fish flavor but this dish was just fine. The sweet and sour chicken was large and small morsels. Chicken was tasty and not dried out. (Sweet and sour can be fried chunks at other places.) Not overly sauced. The fried pork dumplings were good. Great filling inside and I liked the dipping sauce (could always be better). I think we will try it again next time we are there for groceries.

I stopped at this establishmet looking for some new spots in Bloomington. They just so happened to…read morebe holding a soft opening. It was easy to find, ambiance was nice, service was okay, but the food was bland. Nothing to truly rave about. I had to walk around to reach the dining area in which there was no one there to greet customers. Once seated, you place your order on a tablet. I ordered the Chicken lo Mein lunch special and pan fried dumplings. After I bit into the dumplings, I noticed shrimp inside which was not listed on the menu. Glad I wasn't allergic. They have an automatic 18% gratuity that's added to the bill as well. Will I return? Probably not.

I was a little worried to try my food after reading reviews of this place. Therefore, I had low…read moreexpectations and didn't think I would enjoy it. Thankfully, I was completely wrong! We thoroughly enjoyed our food and it met that Chinese food craving. We tried the Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, house lo mein, fried rice and cream cheese wontons. The Mongolian beef was a favorite! The sauce was so good! It had a nice beef and garlic flavor with some heat to it. The fried rice had some good taste as well. I didn't notice any egg in it and it had some larger chunks of onion which I liked. The cream cheese puffs were decent- the wonton was a little soggy where the cream cheese was so it sorta lost some of its crunch. The lo mein was pretty good as well! The sesame chicken sauce was pretty disappointing and tasted like sweet and sour sauce. The pieces of chicken itself though were okay - not too hard or soggy. We ordered take out at the counter and it took about 10-15minutes. They don't do dine- in by the looks of the place. Prices were fair and so was service. Parking lot right in front with plenty of spots.
