I ordered the Taiwanese beef noodle soup with hand-pulled noodles, and it was pretty satisfying! The portions of green onions were generous, which I loved, and they provide chili oil if you want extra heat. My favorite side was the pickled mustard greens, which had a nice crunch and added great texture. You order through a QR code, which is convenient, but the tables are a little small. Our group of five felt cramped.

Delicious! this location isnt as big as the san mateo location so it does fill up at peak dinner time. come a bit early if you want a table quickly. you can also order to go easy parking in plaza love the spicy cold noodles and also the wonton in the sauce! i can dip everything in their red chili oil sauce. it just fantastic!

Hand Pulled Noodle Soup
Wendi K.

4.5 Stars Ambience: Casual, cafeteria-esque. Food: Hearty and delicious. The hand pulled noodle soups (around $15) were great, the small dishes are wonderful, and the boiled dumplings (around $12) are solid as well. There are 6 types of noodle shapes. Service: Swift, minimal. The food comes so quickly so it's great if you're hungry. Order on QR code and they rush the food out to you.

I was in the mood for cucumber salad and spicy wonton. I went to the mall to my normal spot and it was packed. I used Yelp to find a place reasonably close. This place has enough parking and during a busy lunch hour I was able to get seated for 1 in less than 3 minutes. I scanned the code on the wall and got my first dish in less than 5 minutes. It was fun having the cucumber spiraled that way. The wontons were pillowy soft and yummy. Nice waiters getting you water and taking away dishes. It was a really good experience. I'll definitely be back.

Soybean paste dry noodles with pork
Peter N.

Dang,,, we got lucky and beat the Friday evening rush! At about 6:30, the restaurant was about half-capacity and we were able to grab a table of 2. But, I would say by 7p, there was a whole waitlist that formed. But the line shouldn't be a a worry since the food comes out literally less than 5 minutes after ordering! I have never had hand-pulled noodles come out almost instantly. I ordered the soybean paste dry noodles with pork *chef's kiss*,,, I actually ordered the small round noodles and I am a big fan! The noodles are customizable per your preference, I just so happen to really enjoy the smaller noodles over the commonly ordered thick/flat noodles. We finished our food and the check came out almost instantly. After a few rounds of water, they kindly asked that we leave so that they could seat the next round of customers.

Exactly what I wanted. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was wonderful. They are so efficient with bringing your food when it's done being cooked- hot and fresh, cleaning tables after every guest, packing your left overs in to-go containers and checking you out. The staff work well as a team. We ordered the beef braised knife cut noodles, pork buns, spicy wontons and cucumber salad. Scrumptious.

Popcorn chicken and chili oil noodles with braised beef
Amanda M.

Overall, this scratched the itch for hand pulled noodles but nothing blew me away. My boyfriend ordered the spicy ground pork dry noodles and I ordered the chili oil noodles with braised beef, and we shared the popcorn chicken. I thought the portion sizes were generous (I ordered extra beef on my dish in anticipation of there being a small amount of meat), and the noodles tasted fresh and densely satisfying. However, the beef was overly fatty in my opinion, and the chili oil felt a little flat (I feel like chili oil wontons have more layers of flavor). The popcorn chicken was also a big portion size and crispy; we liked it but have also had more flavorful or interesting popcorn chicken at other Chinese restaurants. As for service: we ordered on an app and our food came out within 5 minutes, despite being peak dinner time.

Really good beef noodles, broth is fragrant, chilli oil is authentic. Cucumber salad is probably the best in Bay Area too. Casual noodles place, usually not too busy.

N.1.2     Sichuan Braised Beef Stew Noodles 川香牛肉面

Ox9 has been a family favorite and I always find myself coming back for a comforting bowl of beef noodle soup whenever I visit home in the Bay Area. Ox9 specializes in Lanzhou hand pulled noodles. They have different sizes of noodles ranging to thin to flat noodles. My favorite is the large flat noodles in the sichuan beef noodle soup. We visited on a Monday late afternoon and there were lots of seating options. Service was very quick and we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. We also ordered the popcorn chicken, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. We saw other tables order the beef chow mein (stir fry noodles) so we were influenced to try it as well. I was initially worried it would not be good as they specialize in noodle soups but we were so shocked that the noodles were SO GOOD. Despite being stir fried, the noodles were fresh and chewy, had the perfect amount of sauce and the beef was tender and soft. The portion size was also HUGE and we had lots of food to take home for dinner. Pricing was super reasonable, each dish was under $15 which is hard to find these days. Definitely one of my go to spots for an affordable and comfort meal!

Chili Oil Noodles with a steamed egg added
Michael S.

Great little spot for hand pulled noodles. The parking lot was a bit tight and I didn't realize they had lots of other locations around the Bay (Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Fremont, Berkeley). We did takeout and there was a crowd waiting and checking in. Popular spot. The food was great - I enjoyed my chili oil noodles. The flavor popped and the wide noodles in the dish were notable. My son's noodles were even wider and he really liked his soup. Good place. Authentic.

N.1       Spicy Ground Pork Dry Noodles 麻辣肉酱面
Cameron K.

Went here with my parents and they told me this is their favorite Chinese noodle place to go to! The 辣椒 is honesty delicious and I'm tempted to buy some from them to keep at home. They do hand pulled noodles here so you know you are getting good quality. I would definitely eat here again and it's for a decent price too! (under $20 pp)

N.1.2   Chili Oil Noodles(Wide Noodles) 油泼面
Ethan C.

I would avoid ordering any noodle soups here unless you want it with a hearty side of ingested microplastics! We stopped by here for dinner looking for some tasty noods. The interior and service is kind of classic no-frills Chinese restaurant. We ordered the Chili Oil Noodles and Mala Beef Noodle Soup. Chili Oil Noodles (5/5): This one is lathered and drenched in bright red savory chili oil, balanced by a nice dosage of acidic vinegar. There's a fast food chow mein flavor that I think goes well with the dish. Noodles are wide and voluptuously bouncy as well! Mala Beef Noodle Soup (1/5): This dish was a disaster. The steaming hot, greasy soup comes served in a CHEAP plastic bowl. I'm talking that really low-quality plastic that sounds hollow and light if you tap it. I don't think serving such a hot bowl of greasy soup in a bowl like this is a good idea, talk about microplastics! Besides that, the meat was tough and the soup just tasted like mala from an instant packet. It was just a big pool of lifeless grease. Overall, chili oil noodles are good but avoid the mala beef noodle soup.

A.1 Cucumber with Garlic Sauce
Julie S.

This place is so good. I have been kind of in the mood for hand-pulled noodles since going to Season's Noodles in Mountain View. This location is a bit closer to San Jose. I did see they also have a spot in Valley Fair, but this one is way easier for parking. We showed up about 10 minutes to 5 for an early dinner, but they don't actually open until 5. You walk in and take a seat. Then you order from your phone, and the food comes out pretty quickly. It's not a lot of fancy ambiance, but it did seem like the focus is on the fast and delicious food. I got the original #1 dish, which is a beef broth with hand-pulled noodles. I got the flat wide noodles, and they were excellent. They have chili oil and other condiments on the table if you want to add more spice to your soup. The serving size is really generous. We also tried the garlic cucumber, which was really delicious, and the spicy wontons, which I saw recommended on Yelp. I will definitely be back when I'm craving noodles.

Do they use peanut or peanut oil in any of the dishes?

Nope, no peanut. only have sesame on the top of spicy wonton, sesame seeds in the homemade spicy oil. You can always let waiter know if you need any accommodation, they are able to help. Thanks.

Any vegetarian or vegan options?

The chili oil noodles were a great vegetarian option when we went!

Are they allowing dine in?

They only have 2 tiny tables outside right now. Expect to get your food for takeout here

Congratulations on your new opening, can't wait to try! Are you offering Pick-Up only? Don't the noodles get too mushy when packaged to-go?

Mine didn't get mushy, but they were a little cold. Still delicious though!

Usually you might remember the experience, an entree, but the name will elude you. Home Eat is a memorable name, and while it isn't a phrase that we might use often, it feels like a perfect encapsulation of the feeling of eating here, even if I've never eaten like this in my home or in any. Known for the chicken wings, yes, but try more. You may eat like a king or queen with just a few orders, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best Chinese cuisine I've ever sampled.

I asked an inside table, not unreasonable considering I had four people and two physically restrained. He flat-out refused citing that's for five people even though tables were empty. The older female staff granted us right away. They need more training in how to communicate with customers and be accommodating and considerate. Later on this unprofessional amateur gave me a dissaproving look. Since when did the service become a dumpster fire?? Did he buy this place? Definitely taking ownership in a twisted manner. Remember Customers are always right in almost any circumstances. Your job is to make me happy. Food was still ok. There was no service yet they engerly expect you to tip them 18% for non existent service. What a lazy place.

Had a great experience prior to this with a friend so I wanted to bring my mom to try. My experience from the service however was a little uncomfortable. When I went with my mom there was no customers. The server seated us at the bench closest to the wall (the table was pushed into the bench against the wall so we had to move it.) Apparently a lot of the legs on some of the tables and benches are wobbly so they put things under to balance it. The servers told us to move it back under the table since we pushed the table out to sit into the bench. My mom is older and she has a hard time walking, she asked to switch to another table where the benches and tables were already spaced out properly because it is hard for her to bend down and move the things under the table legs. The server gave my mom an attitude and asked why two people couldn't fit into our current table.

Today I checked out Grandma's Kitchen. Right off the bat, they started me off with miso soup. It…read morewas a bit of a weird choice for a Chinese spot, but a complimentary soup is always a nice touch. Getting into the dish, they were incredibly generous with the portions. There was a lot of chicken on the plate, and it was cooked exceptionally well, keeping the meat incredibly soft and tender. The dish also delivered some really nice wok hei, bringing out that signature smoky flavor I always look for, much like the great char I had at King Chuan. To top it off, the peanuts were fresh and crunchy rather than stale. Flavor-wise, the profile sits at about 65% sweet and 35% savory. There was very little heat to it, which was actually completely fine for this specific mix. Honestly, if they had just added a bit more salt, this could have easily been a perfect 5 out of 5 winner...but for now let's just say it's a 4.5. Verdict: Despite the weird miso soup combo, this is a phenomenal, tender, and smoky plate of KPC that was so good I actually had to go back two more times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

The menu has quite a variety of options, including cold dishes, stir-fries, dry pot dishes, soups, rice/noodles, and desserts. Since I'm not great with spicy food, we went with dishes that were relatively mild this time: Stir-fry beef with Pancake Dry Pot Celtuce with Chinese Cured Pork Iron Pot Fish with Pickled Vegetables Cured Pork Fried Rice Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes The beef was really tender. We initially ate it with the pancakes, and later, when we still had quite a bit of beef left, we mixed it into the fried rice. Surprisingly, the combination worked really well! I also really enjoyed the dry pot celtuce with cured pork. The celtuce was crisp and refreshing, and its fresh crunch paired perfectly with the savory, salty cured pork. And of course, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are a must-order for me whenever I have Sichuan cuisine. The chewy, sticky texture with that sweet brown sugar coating is always so satisfying - especially after a spicy meal!
