Hometaste Hong Kong Cuisine

I had a wonderful time with my daughters on Monday, and the service was wonderful. They were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, and so was my drink. I liked that they offered hot tea and water right away, which many places I go to don't offer, and they ask you what to order. But here, wow, wonderful service. They asked how everything was like 3 times, refilling our water. Every time they reached for it, my glass was half full. Excellent service ❤️❤️

Everything was tasty. I tried a few things here that I have never had and they were yummy. The spicy deep friend shrimp were amazing! These were a little bit more on the medium spic level other folks at the table enjoyed them. If you want a little kick they were yummy. All the dishes were good. I have not had pig ear before, and had a good flavor too. Lots of things to experience here and they were all very tasty.

Ate here for lunch with my girlfriend and was honestly pretty disappointed. The pictures people posted of the duck looked extremely good, so we were excited. We went during lunch and shared the 2 meat rice plate with duck and roasted pork belly, as well as the salt and pepper squid. The pork belly was excellent, but the duck was almost entirely bone/gristle and was super disappointing. Had an odd taste as well. Some of the squid was really tasty, the breading was perfect. But probably 50% of the pieces were overcooked and unchewable. We were also charged 21.95 instead of 12.95 for the squid and when I asked about it the guy was very confused and tried to say we ordered something else. But I even pointed to it on the menu when we ordered. We did appreciate the complementary tea, which was pretty good. Probably wouldn't come back though, especially with the assortment of restaurant options in the same building.

I was somewhat excited to try this place since I have been craving Chinese food. This is not an authentic Chinese restaurant with Chinese food. I ordered half a duck, 2 lbs of roasted pork, and Korean beef ribs, I asked if each dish came with rice, and the waiter said yes. When they brought out my food, I was surprised they only brought out a small bowl of rice. It was an awkward moment, but I didn't make a big deal out of it. One thing I noticed was that I was the only person eating in the restaurant, and that says a lot. Food was average at best. It was nice that I got complementary tea. Half duck 6/10 Roasted Pork 4/10 Korean Beef Ribs 6/10

We had couple traditional Cantonese dishes and they taste authentic. The beef chow fun was a bit greasy than other places but the pot was really good. The fried fish was so so. We also brought the duck wings to go and that was pretty good too. Overall the food was good but pricer compared to other Chinese restaurants in Twin Cities.

We were there for lunch so the prices were a bit lower. Dinner prices are too expensive. Water and tea were brought out right away, which was nice for a large group. Mongolian chicken was very good, not very spicy. Egg rolls were delicious and the fried rice wasn’t very fried. The sole (fish) was too greasy and had a lot of spices sprinkled on top, I wouldn’t recommend. The chicken broccoli was wonderful as was the Mongolian beef. Server was outstanding and food came out fast!

Our favorite Asian restaurant in the cities. The charsu pork is better than that other place everyone who knows about bbq pork knows. The duck is awesome as is the ducksauce. The Japanese tofu I now almost have to order two plates of as it’s the family favorite. Do yourself a favor and try this place. Especially the fried green beans that my daughter eats a whole plate of each time. Hands down best Chinese food in town! Staff is always great too! We been coming here ever since they opened for the best of the best. Chow fun also great!

Went to Hometaste after an unpleasant interaction with another restaurant at Asia Mall. They were very accommodating of our large group. We love the salty fish fried rice, chow fun and eggplant in garlic sauce. The kitchen can be a bit slow at times but the service and food make up for it.

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!

This place is located inside the Asia mall on the bottom floor to the right when you walk in. Whenever I'm around the area, I usually would stop in and have a quick lunch. The service there is attentive and the place is welcoming. They start by bringing you some tea and water. My go to meal is the Chinese broccoli, roast duck, and bbq pork. The meals here average about 18+. Unless you get some dim sum items, they are around 6 to 15 bucks. Some people complain about the price,I don't. Food comes out in nice portions and I haven't had any bad experience here at all. You want cheap then head down to the Chinese joints by the projects. I'll make sure I take pictures next time, instead of filling my mouth right away

Very friendly service with delicious food options. Highly recommend the roast pork, roast duck and the golden fried sole fish! My family loves to come here and also get to go during the holidays

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.

I got takeout for my husband and me. 1. Fried dumplings: Good not great, got a little steamy in takeout box which is to be expected but I wished they were a little crispier. Dipping sauce was good, sweet. 2. Spicy salt & hot pepper shrimp: this was very tasty. They were fried with the skin on which I know is important for maintaining flavor but I admit texturally it was hard to get over chewing the shells. This is almost certainly a white Minnesotan person problem so don't want to ding them for this. 3. Pork eggplant with garlic sauce: this was the real downer. It was delicious but there were about 3 small pieces of pork total. 95% of it was just eggplant which was disappointing for $20, as it was meant to be a main dish and not just a veggie side Overall good but very expensive and disappointed in eggplant dish. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else was paying.

Only the third place I've found in the Cities with steamed chicken and that fabulous ginger sauce that is not even sold in Asian markets. This dish is not on the menu. I had to show them the wallpaper photo taken at Chinatown in Chicago on my cellphone. Wife had four plates of dim sum, three of which she loved. I see they have Ma Po Tofu, another of my favorites not often ordered by non-Asians.

If you want authentic Cantonese food, definitely recommend coming here. Service is quick and friendly. I was surprised that my favorite dish was the tofu and veggies dish, I loved how it came on a hot plate so the food stayed warm the entire time. The beef chow fun was good too! The lobster fried rice was not bad, but I didn't like how some of the lobster shells fell into the rice so it was a bit difficult to eat sometimes. Otherwise, the flavor of it was good! Plenty of seating for large groups, I would recommend calling in for a reservation on a weekend since it does get busy.

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!

I'm so glad it's on the first floor. I have no desire to go to the second. I like a nice sit down place. I had the cream cheese wontons. They are pretty basic and have a very good sauce. I got kung pao shrimp for later with fried rice and it comes with an eggroll. It was all very good. I liked how you could get a lunch combo on the weekend. I got Basil a garlic fried sole fish combo with the same stuff. BD's review really tempted me. I also got fried squid appetizer that I liked. Saturday the parking lot is dog nuts, but I was in the neighborhood. Service was great. I'll be back on a weekday for sure.

This place is legit! We brought my father-in-law here for an early dinner/late lunch and the host and wait staff were amazing! They bring complimentary tea and water with ice. The seating area so open, clean, roast duck and pork right on display hanging, & live eel, geoduck, crab etc. in their tanks -- I ordered the garlic sauce bok choy and baby squid with salt and hot pepper. My father in law got the roast duck and chinese broccoli. We all shared a bit. Everything was some of the best of each that I've had and we've had in general. He said the duck was the best he's had since China town in DC. High praise and became an ongoing inside joke for the remainder of his stay, he was seriously considering coming back again before he had to leave!

Invite plenty of dining companions to share those heaping plates of roasted meats and rice. Guests' gazes quickly pass over the large tables to rest on the crispy skin of suckling pig and ducks hanging in the window. The Cantonese fare and dim sum served here is as good as the food you'll find in Chinatown.

Legit Cantonese food that is tasty and worth the drive. Part of the Asia Mall, a sizable mall that includes an expansive grocery store and multiple restaurants. If ambience is your jam, this won't meet that requirement. It's basic with a few round tables for medium sized families and a few smaller tables. Don't let the ambience fool you as the food is tasty and rivals the best Cantonese restaurants within the twin cities. Service was prompt and attentive. Enjoyed all of the entrees we tried. The salt and pepper pork chop is not grisly and has good quality pork chop meat. The walnut shrimp is great, not too much batter and not drowning in sauce. The walnuts are glazed and delish. My favorite was the Japanese style sizzling tofu. Very light, soft tofu in a meat sauce. I was worried it may be too salty but it was divine. Others have mentioned price. It's definitely not low cost but I think worth it given the quality and taste!

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.

Sitting right on the main level of Asia Mall, Home Taste serves up Hong Kong inspired cuisine with a display of Peking Duck for all to see. There are plenty of options to choose from, but being that Peking Duck can be such a great dish, it was hard to pass up. It was good, but not great relative to others that I've had. The two taste keeps things pretty minimal with an opportunity to make duck tacos followed up with soup. For the price, it just wasn't really worth it. We also tasted the Steamed BBQ Pork Buns on our visit, which were a bit below average. The sauce was almost red, lacked in richness, and the buns a little bit too doughy. Relatively speaking, Home Taste was below average especially when taking into account the prices.

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.

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.

It's a good place to visit , I didn't have complaints or concerns about the food, Lived the egg roles ! This place is located in the Asian Mall so they close around 9 pm . 11-3 dim sum is served and Xi long bao Yummm !! I will be back again to try lunch ! Super excited to try new things !

If you go to the Asia mall this should definitely be a place you should eat at. The food itself was absolutely delicious. Between four people we shared 1/2 roast duck, seafood pan fried noodles, tofu lunch dish, and fried baby squid. The roast duck was the star of the show. I love duck and I have to say this was probably the best duck I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I cannot wait to come back and order this again. The pan fried noodles and tofu were really good and packed with flavor as well. Where they fell short were the fried baby squid. There wasn't much too it and it really wasn't worth the price. I did give this place only 4 stars instead of 5 because of the service and the ambiance of the place. There isn't much too it and it sort of felt like a food court eating area instead of a restaurant. I would of enjoyed a better feel to the place but I hope since the restaurant just opened maybe they are planning on adding more to it.

Made another stop to add to the trove of pictures for those that need visual assistance. Went during the Lunar New Year celebration but late in the evening so traffic was not bad at all. Caught a dance show while chowing down. Ordered half duck, flavorful but served slightly too lukewarm, spicy salt & hot pepper shrimp, pan fried noodles with shrimp, salty fish and chicken fried rice. Overall still good experience. It's the quintessential Chinese dining experience.

So good we came back 2 more times that same week after trying it! AND came here for Christmas dinner! We go early on weeknights (around 5-5:30) and each time the service was incredibly fast. Right off the bat this place is CLEAN. Floors, tables, everything is really tidy and sanitary. You'll be brought a pot complimentary jasmine tea right away which is absolutely heavenly. This is truly the best jasmine tea I've had; not even remotely bitter tasting like other green teas. They must brew it very carefully. Our favorite thing on the menu is the Garlic Fried Sole fish! It melts in your mouth and the portion size is massive so it's a perfect entree to split. The Asia Mall is fun to check out before or after dinner; we like to walk around the market afterward and take home some milk teas and candy. Parking is easy with the lot out front. This really is a great destination, and HomeTaste is our new favorite in the twin cities for Chinese/Cantonese!

Great food! The service was great and fast, the workers were very nice. Very authentic food, the kung pao chicken was stellar! Will definitely come back!

Food is great. If you don't see an item you want, just ask. They may be able to make it for you anyway. Tried the salt and pepper shrimp, Singapore style, deep fried noodles, fried rice, and the broccoli beef. Everything was great. Fed a group of 6 for about $100. Service was very fast and efficient. Food comes out quickly and they're very attentive to your needs. Ambiance it's very casual. They have the large tables with the Lazy Susan in the middle that makes eating family style fun.

Fast and efficient service are just the start! The food is great! Just a quick lunch while checking out the Mall. The Kung Pao was really good and the Wonton soup was the best I've had in a very long time. It's a very big bowl of soup so, be prepared to make it a meal or to share it. Perfectly seasoned rich chicken broth filled with pork filled wonton la and baby bok choi. The table next to us had a huge feast. One platter of food after another. All of it looked amazing. Especially the lobster fried rice. Next time, I might splurge on that. Prices are fair for the quality and portions. This is a keeper.

This place says on their website (and on Yelp) they're open until 10 on Sunday. They are not. Wasted a drive over there due to misinformation. Will not be back, I hold a grudge for years.

Great new place within the new Asia Mall here in Eden Prairie, Mn. My family and I have been here now twice since they have opened. They still have some growing/new restaurant processes to work thru (thus the 4 star vs 5), but the food is fresh and we love it. They have fresh fish and seafood, as well as roasted pig and duck. Come early as this place (as well as the whole Asian mall) fills up fast. Thus far we have had the Malaysian chow fun, beef chow fun with veggies, salt and pepper squid and prawns as well has a pound of the roasted pork and 1/2 a roasted duck. This place very much reminds me of my days in Singapore. Can't wait to come back.

I'm back in town so I decided to try out the Asia mall with a friend. I got the Wonton Noodle soup with bbq pork. The service was quick and the meal very delicious! Generous amount of wontons and bbq pork. Very delicious!

I'm in this restaurant now. As a Hong Hong person, I enjoy this authentic Cantonese food very much. They have very good taste and quality.

I ordered the duck wonton noodle soup from this restaurant, and it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The roast duck tasted stale, like it was leftover from the previous day. The portion size of the noodles and wontons was disappointingly small, especially considering the price. To top it off, the dish cost $20, which is ridiculous for such poor quality and tiny portions. Definitely not worth the price, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Our first time to Asia Mall, so we had lunch at Home Taste Hong Kong Cuisine. Tried 2 different lunch specials-both were good. I was pleasantly surprised to find the roast pork better than the roast duck! The roast duck was seasoned perfectly with a moist texture, but the duck was almost as flavorful.

Authentic Chinese food. This please reminds of the restaurants I went to in Chinatown when I lived in Philadelphia. Everything was great, from the roast duck to the pea tips.

This restaurant has the best roasted duck and pork. Next time, we will try the d sum

I really wanted to like this place. I am a fan of duck and this place caught my attention with the duck they had hanging in the roaster. It looked delicious. The service? Not so great. When we sat down, we were given menus and were given some water and tea. Our waitress didn't ask if we wanted anything besides what she gave us. We ordered our food. The most interesting thing is that we ordered our appetizer first, and it was the last thing to come out after we were halfway through our dishes. The duck was brought to our table cold. I asked if it was supposed to be cold, and they said no and popped it in the microwave before bringing it back to our table. This did not scream "fresh" to me. Each dish was okay. Nothing spectacular. The fried rice lacked flavor. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience. I understand that Asia Mall and its restaurants are still in the soft-opening phase, so I will give Home Taste another chance in a few months.

Not fancy, but very good, authentic, fresh food. We started with the cream cheese puffs and pork pot stickers. Both excellent. Puffs were so light and crispy. We had the Mongolian chicken and house friend rice. The chicken was very fresh, served with stir fried onions and peppers, excellent sauce that was not too salty or too sweet. The fried rice could have been fried in the pan longer but very good flavor. Love that they serve hot tea with every meal. Will definitely come back and try something new with the cream cheese puffs!

l hardly complain but l was truly shock wait a long time for a bowl of wonton noodle soup which the wonton were raw. Raw shrimp and pork. The staff acted like l was being difficult. No apology. l wasn't sure how they cooked the wonton noodle. It was so bad l had to come to Yelp to reflect for the first time.

Get the salt and pepper dishes. Those are great. My favorite dish was the fried fish sole filet.

We ordered 5 family style dishes and loved them all! My kids really loved the beef chow fun- (chow fun is wide noodles) and my favorite was their fried rice. Really fun to go with a group of 5 or 6 (we are 8) because we got a round table with a spinning plate in the middle to pass the food around. The service was fabulous too. My kids thanked me several times on the way home.

Their love seafood is great!!! Other food was okay.. better than other Chinese restaurants nearby, however poor service!! Takes forever for our food to com

Loved the dimsum, especially the roast pork! Service was good. We will definitely be going back soon to try other dishes.

I've been to Home Taste multiple times since it opened. Note - the menu has changed, it's been simplified, fewer choices, but everything we've had so far was fantastic. Highly recommend the eggplant/pork in garlic sauce, seafood with XO sauce and beef chow fun. Servers were polite and helpful, just overall a great experience.

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had! I ordered SEVERAL dishes & they were all amazing! Not at all greasy or overcooked (what I find at most places). The chicken & seafood was fresh, high quality & well prepared. All dishes were well seasoned & flavorful. All 4 of us agreed it was fantastic! They went above & beyond to make a special request order for me. Everything came out FAST, during a very busy lunch rush. I've finally find 'the one' & I'll be back whenever i get a Chinese craving.

This is the best stir fry in the SW metro. I recommend the Mongolian seafood and chicken. If eating in, the sesame chicken is great but doesn't do as well for take out. The duck is outstanding....careful that sometimes, there is too much neck (mostly bone). I'm not sure how to prevent that other than ordering the whole duck

Excellent food. Duck was perfectly cooked and delicious. Jumbo shrimp was addictively good. Will go back again!

Classic Cantonese style food. Overall not bad. Their gold fried sole fillets and duck are pretty good. Other dishes taste kind of the same.

Their food is not bad but definitely not worth the price. The portion could definitely be more for how much the dishes are. We ordered a chicken eggplant hotpot dish, and there was barely any chicken in there. A little disappointed. Wouldn't be our first choice next time we go to the Asia mall again.

The malaysian chow fun includes chicken and pork, and has a subtle spicy curry that slowly builds, in a fantastic way.

First trip to Asia Mall today. Yep parking was a pain in the butt, but I'm glad I went. After being ignored by the waiter/host at a restaurant upstairs we decided to try Home Taste. We were seated quickly at a nice big table with a lazy Susan in the middle - kind of fun. Anyway we tried a few dishes and really enjoyed the spicy chicken and the crispy fried fish. I didn't care much for the egg rolls or our third dish - seafood surprise of sorts. Rating is really 4.5 stars. I will be back to try some other dishes. Would be nice if they got a liquor license too.

Great food late. We are very busy and often end up going out for dinner after 8pm. Other than some fast food joints, very few places are open then. We really like Hometaste Hong Kong Cuisine just right of entrance at Asia Mall in Eden Prairie. Authentic fresh Chinese food, large portions, open till 10pm. We come often and highly recommend.

I hate bashing on places but my friend and I had the worst lunch I've had in quite awhile. Don't get the lo mein or chow fun. Absolutely no flavor. Save your money.

The food was fabulous and I have eaten at their earlier Hong Kong Noodle at the university perhaps 50 times if not more. What was so upsetting with this visit to Home Taste is that when our food came, the server brought a vegetable dish we had not ordered. We said that we had not ordered it, that there must have been a mistake. They argued with us and would not take it away. That was $18 for green beans with added salt, that we never ordered. They were insistent that we had. Then we had ordered a tofu dish; we made a point of asking if it was vegetarian. Yes, we were assured, but it came with ground pork and another long argument telling us that we knew, even though one of us is vegetarian. Because of our server's rigid push, the only way we could have returned the unwanted food would have been to make a scene, we spent $50 more than it would have been. Yes, the food is a lot more expensive in this location but up until now (this is my 4th time here) it had not bothered me. My friends will never go back (it was their first time) and they will not recommend it to their friends and I am not eager either. This made me very sad to write but more, I was so angry.
