    Coconut Water. Tastes like the sweet frozen kind from Asian markets with a lot of ice added.
    Laurent N.

    TLDR: good food, but skip on coconut water I'm a big fan of their green curry, ton yum soup, pork, mango dishes, and coconut rice. The coconut water isn't worth it for $4.50 It tastes like the sweetened frozen pack from Asian supermarkets, and the cup is loaded with ice cubes.

    Had a weird experience here. Came in 35 minutes before closing and you know when you can just tell someone has an attitude, that's immediately what I felt as we were looking at the menu deciding what to order. I got the impression that the worker taking our order was trying to rush us out. And I understand we came near closing, but the restaurant closed at 8:30. I would be more understanding if we came 5 minutes before closing but we didn't. What I don't understand is we weren't the only people there, there were people that came to order after us. I didn't get her name, but that really did alter my experience here. Ordered the fire and chili wings, roti, pork fried rice, and the short rib plate. All of the items came out one by one and by 8:20 we got all of our items. We were given to go boxes even though we let her know we were dining in. She told us it was because they would be closing soon which I was okay with. Once we got our food, we ate it at a table and were out the door by their closing time. I chose not to finish my food and took the rest to go since I knew they were closing. The food was great, I really enjoyed the crispiness of the wings, and the flavor of the short ribs. Those were the two stand out items to me. However, I don't think I'll be back here unless I ordered takeout because of the awkward and tense hospitality.

    My wife and I have been here for many years and I've finally had the time to write a review. This place is our go-to Thai place. We do a lot of takeout here and we've always enjoyed their quality and portion size. We either order at the kiosk or place an order over the phone. The food takes 15-20 minutes to be ready. I love their fried chicken -- specifically their tom yum and larb wings. I highly recommend it!

    FOOD : Every time I come to eat here, I feel like I'm at home. The food is really delicious and tastes homemade. The Pad Thai is very tasty, and the Thai tea is also really good . Everything has great flavor SERVICE: The service is very good. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I've also had the chance to talk with the lady manager there, and she is very kind. That makes the place feel even more special. AMBIANCE: The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, a nice place to enjoy a meal. There's also plenty of parking, which is very convenient. In the same shopping area there are other stores like Safeway, pizza places, a barbershop, nail salon, pharmacy, and more. Honestly, I really like this place. The food feels homemade and I always leave happy. I definitely recommend it.

    I walked into Red chili as they were opening for dinner service. The girls behind the counter were really nice and made me feel welcome even though they barely opened. I ordered a red curry with beef and mistakenly didn't order the plate, but they were more than happy to help me fix it so I got the rice I wanted as well. I took the curry home for dinner and it was amazing. Sweet and spicy, with the rice cooked perfectly. The shop is cute with a handful of tables and fun pictures on the wall. The hours make it hard for me to come in, but any chance I get, I love going in.

    Pad Thai with chicken
    Lisa N.

    Been there, Thai-ed them twice. They have 2 locations (San Jose and Hayward). It's a family-owned small business serving delicious Thai/ Vietnamese dishes. Pretty solid selection to choose from. You definitely get your money's worth here. Many people were raving about their tamarind fish filet so ordered that. It did not disappoint. Kinda sweet and crispy. The portion was actually pretty big. I also ordered some staple dishes, such as pad thai with chicken (medium spice), panang curry with shrimp (mild spice) and tom yum chicken wings. The curry was so flavorful. Tom yum chicken had such an addicting seasoning and I wanted more wings afterwards. I have to try their larb chicken wings next time. Pad Thai was not bad. Not my fave but still good nonetheless. I'm more of a pad see ew gal anyways. Can't leave without getting some green thai tea and thai tea. Ended the meal with some yummy mango sticky rice. The heart shaped sticky rice is so cute! They also sell catering party trays! Make sure to call ahead. Why cook when you can save the hassle and order for your next gathering!! I'll be back to support.

    Where to find the best tamarind fish fillet in the Bay Area! This family owned small business has the best Vietnamese x Thai Fusion dishes. Their chicken wings are a MUST GET. The perfect crunch and bursting with flavor. They also have combos that comes with a side and salad for under $20 and does catering! Service is the best and it's the cutest spot!

    Catering trays
    Crystal T.

    This review is long overdue! Found red chili a few years ago and enjoyed everything we ordered. Each time we've gone back we've found a new item that was so good! Mango fish, tamarind fish, fish sauce wings.... January 2025 they catered my son's 1st birthday and Tiffany was super helpful throughout the entire process! Like I mean answering all my questions before we even ordered, making food labels with allergen information, getting all the details before day of service. On the actual delivery day got to meet mom and dad who made sure everything was set up properly. Such a sweet family running an amazing restaurant!

    I'm here again at my favorite Thai restaurant. I don't know what else to say other than I love it here. It's too much for me, but I want to take it home anyways cause then I'm gonna eat it when I get home. It's even better than the next day.

    Vegetarian pad thai
    Fatima S.

    This was my first time here, and I was impressed, so next time I'm craving Thai food, I'll return. The place is small (if you decide to eat there), clean, and bright. The menu is consistent and varied (plus combo options). The staff is very friendly and helpful. As for the food: large portions, perfect flavors, and very affordable prices. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to stop by.

    Tom Yum Wings
    Tammy H.

    If you were to only order one thing from here it should be the TOM YUM WINGS. I was thinking it would taste like the tom yum instant ramen seasoning, but I was incredibly wrong. They are packed with flavor from the tom yum and the batter is so crispy without being oily. You can actually taste the different components of tom yum like lemongrass and galangal, it was very pleasant. There were 6 wings total, wish there were 1 or 2 more at least. They offer a few other types of fried chicken wings too like Larb flavor! Will be back to try that for sure. It's a small establishment with about 5 tables inside. You order and pay first, then grab a seat. No restrooms. Friendly service and checked on us a few times during our meal.

    Thai Iced Tea
    Lisa N.

    This small family owned restaurant has some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I ordered online and it was ready at the pickup time. I ordered the pad kee mao, medium spicy with beef. This meal was HEAVENLY. Huge portion, just the right amount of spice, perfectly seasoned. The Thai tea is brewed well and isn't too sweet. Service was super friendly. I love supporting local restaurants and this one will definitely be on repeat for me!

    Panang Combo Thai Curry
    Yuria G.

    I was drawn in by the variety of tropical fruit-based dishes like mango, pineapple, and passion fruit! The restaurant is conveniently located near Safeway, so it's perfect for a quick stop after shopping. There's plenty of parking available too! The inside of the shop is a bit small and busy, so we decided to order takeout. Panang Combo Thai Curry: I got it medium spicy with chicken and upgraded to coconut rice for an extra charge. The chicken was tender and plentiful, pairing perfectly with the flavorful, spicy curry. The coconut rice was soft with a subtle coconut aroma. Personally, I think regular rice pairs better with the curry for a lighter taste, but the included salad made the whole combo feel well-balanced! Tamarind Fish Fillet: The fish was super fluffy and went great with the rice. Since the space inside is limited, I think I'll go with delivery next time!

The salted egg yolk fried chicken wings were awesome. They come out looking super red, but they are not spicy. Great flavor, super good, and very yummy. The cumin lamb was excellent too. It had a little spice, but not too bad, and the lamb was really soft. The mapo tofu with pork was good, but very spicy. The tofu itself was good. The Sichuan high wok was tasty, but it got spicier and spicier the more I ate it, so just be ready for that. Honey walnut shrimp came out very crispy and the sauce was light. The flavor was not too bad, but the shrimp flavor did not come through as much. The Yunnan rice noodle soup with pork and pickled cabbage was good, and the soup itself had nice flavor, but I wish it had more meat. Beef and scallion dumplings were average. Sauteed greens were solid and definitely necessary to balance out the meal. Service was relatively quick, which was nice since we ordered a good amount of food. Everything came out at a good pace, and the meal felt easy overall. Nothing too fancy on the service side, but it got the job done. The inside feels like a big cafeteria. It is fine, but not really a place you go for ambiance. It was also a little hot inside, which made the spicy dishes feel even spicier. Overall, Home Eat is a good spot for flavorful Chinese food, especially if you like spicy dishes and salted egg yolk fried chicken wings.

Soy garlic chili had a nice kick. The only down side was our fries were a little cold and dry and the soju cocktail didn't quite hit the spot (tasted the syrup) so I guess mix well before pouring. Other than that I'd love to try the other fusion dishes.
