    Noodles with pork
    Rachel E.

    Was looking for a relatively inexpensive food place that was close to our hotel and I found this place on yelp, and I have to say that it definitely delivered. At first I was a little bit wary that it was in a mall food court, but it's legit. The service was great and they were able to accommodate some special orders. The dining is your typical Mall food court although there is plenty of seating so you should be able to find a spot and enjoy your food. Everything was tasty and it was really plentiful. I was impressed at all the different options and would easily come here again. They also have samples so you can try something before you potentially buy it. Side note, I was impressed at how jumping this mall was. These days a lot of malls are dead, so it was nice to see a mall that was packed like the early '90s!

    What I learned about this place was that you are probably best with the four pack, because the eight pack will definitely leave you full. Great food and service, but not so great on the ambiance-it's a food court after all. I introduced my friend to this place, and she loved it. Amazing that this place exists. It's nice to see mall food, stepping up to the plate.

    I stopped by here yesterday with my husband. We were looking for something small to share before going shopping. We stopped to check this place out, and they had samples. Who doesn't like samples?! The employee working was super welcoming, kind, and helpful. He told us about all of the samples, and additional options. We had a type of fried chicken with homemade noodles. It was great to share with my husband. We both enjoyed it. This restaurant is in a mall food court, so there's no real ambiance, and cleanliness is out of their control. So I can't judge either. I have never had bao before, so I have nothing to compare this to. But it was tasty, customer service was stellar, and it was memorable. I'll definitely return. Review 4 of 2025.

    Scoped out some of the options at Valley River Center and to my surprise I stumbled upon Bao-Ing-Out. They offered some samples and I ordered the Steamed Vegetarian Bao buns. They make them fresh! Steamed delicious fluffy bund with just the right ratio filling. I'll be back to try some other items from the menu. Service was friendly and food was steamed to order.

    We got take-out from Bao-Ing-Out, and despite the drive home, the food was soooo good! The steamed pork buns were my favorite, followed by the beef dumplings. The dough on the golden fried vegetable buns was well executed, I just wasn't a fan of the vegetable filling. I loved the variety of sauces we got too. I was a bit disappointed to see rice instead of egg drop soup (maybe it's a take-out thing) but the rice was actually really well flavored! Did I mention the packaging was adorable?? That alone would have me going back!

    First timers to this restaurant and was pleased with what they had to offer. Food was tasty and plentiful. The two men working were kind and helpful. The restaurant is in the mall. . . Lots of tables, casual, and comfortable.

    There's nothing quite like walking aimlessly around a mall during the holiday season. After getting some good people watching in, and picking up another long sleeve shirt for the winter months, I found myself hungry and wandering toward the food court. I chose Bao-Ing-Out because I'd heard of it before and there wasn't much of a line. The man taking orders was kind and there was very little wait time in between ordering and getting my meal. There's not much you can do about the ambiance of a mall; you either like eating in the food court or you don't. Thankfully, Bao-Ing-Out provides a to-go option for those who'd rather enjoy their food at home, like me. I ordered the steamed curry chicken bao limited time special, which came with egg drop soup, and an order of their homemade veggie noodles, all to-go. The tantalizing smell of soup and curry tortured me all the way home. The steamed curry chicken bao was great and I hope they make it a regular menu item in the future. The curry taste was prominent and the bao were stuffed full of meat. I've had bao at other places that skimp out on filling, so I'm happy to report that Bao-Ing-Out gives you your money's worth. The veggie noodles were sadly underwhelming; the only vegetables were cabbage and green onions. So, while they do offer a vegetarian option, I would not call this place vegetarian "friendly." The noodles themselves were cooked perfectly and I could definitely tell they were made fresh, but I wish there were more veggies. The egg drop soup was actually the best I've ever had. It was so fresh and light and I honestly didn't know egg drop soup could taste like that, so major props! All-in-all, I would eat at Bao-Ing-Out again after another lazy afternoon of being an adult mall-rat, but I'll probably try something else on their menu next time.

    Short: authentic, delicious, flavorful, fresh, and quick with knowledgeable staff. Visited opening week Oct 27th '23. It was quite busy, and the order here/pick up signs are hanging up high. You order by the steam baos and griddle. [Menu] Menu is a bit small but has pictures and very good selection! [Food & Cost] 2 regular meals : $14/each One with Golden Fried Bao - Beef, 5pc. Deep fried pan-fried beef bao. Topped with chili oil. Absolutely flavorful and still moist! It had nice bits of ginger and not overly greasy. Another with Pancake Roll w/ Braised Beef. WOW!! this was definitely a winner! The beef was not chewy at all and so flavorful! Almost like the nice cut of beef in pho. Made on a green onion asian pancake. A delicious hoisin soy sauce. Each regular meal comes with 1 side and 1 soup. I got the kimchi, radish salad, and egg drop soup. The egg drop soup had seaweed & egg, it was flavorful but the broth was clear. The radish salad was delicious! Very flavorful and looks made in house. Kimichi was typical kimchi, not overly spicy.

    Yum! I was pleasantly surprised by Bao-ing-Out. Not because the food doesn't look good or because of reviews, but because I ordered it from DoorDash and had no idea it was coming from the food court at the mall. And no offense to the mall food, it just wasn't what I would expect. It was so good, like should have been at a sit down restaurant type of good. I ordered a half size of the steamed bao and the chicken and noodles. The bag of stuff I received included those two items, plus two to-go coffee cups and multiple sauces. The coffee cups had the egg flower/drop soup (fairly bland) and the delicious sauce for the noodles. The service sizes were large, definitely just get half the bao unless you're sharing with more than 2 people. The bao were perfect, light bun with flavor and great meaty flavor inside. I didn't realize the chicken in the noodle dish was deep fried but that's ok (would have preferred grilled). But there is a lot in there and it was all good. I'll definitely return and try more options. Menu is a bit limited but that's ok, want to try dumplings next!

    I have been going to this mall my entire life. I worked there all through high school. I have 4 kids that have been going through their lives. Never have I been more impressed with a food court until this last year. It's so awesome to see it taken over by mostly local mom and pop type places and so many international options. Bao-ing Out is so fun and tasty. My son usually goes to the Mexican place (their food is also great) and I come here. He tried some of my food last time and will be ordering here next time. From the owner who so happily offers samples and explanations of the menu, to the delish options and really fun food packaging, you really can't beat this place. I hope they stay for a long time to come!

    Tried this with my boyfriend yesterday, we just got the 8pc bao to share, comes with egg flower soup or rice for $15.95. Very affordable especially for how big the baos are. We got them steamed, they were very filling and pretty good. My boyfriend really enjoyed them, I liked them but I think I just prefer soup dumplings in general, maybe 1 day they will sell some too, since they are a bao and dumpling place. Soup was okay, a bit too watery/thin for my liking. Overall a good value, and fairly good too, especially for being located in the mall's food court!

    For a mall food court option this was pretty good! I wouldn't say they were the best baos in Eugene. But for an inexpensive and tasty vegetarian meal while shopping at Valley River, this place is a home run. For less than $10 you can get 3 Bao, a side, and a soup. That's a lot! The wait was pretty long though. I wonder if that was because I ordered them pan fried. The next time I find myself here I will order them just steamed and see if that would reduce the wait time. Very happy with this addition within Valley River.

    Honestly, thank god for authentic Chinese food…read more This is the best place you go to in Eugene for delicious handmade dumplings and noodles. Came in mid-afternoon on the weekend and the place was busy. We were seated immediately and received our food ~10 mins after ordering. We ordered the spicy and sour beef noodle soup, veggie dumplings, and scallion pancakes. There is an option to adjust the spice and numbing levels to your dishes. The food came out steaming. The veggie dumplings were flavorful and the wrapping was just thick enough to make 10-dumplings a hearty meal. The taste profile is similar to what you'd find in Northern China, and there is chili oil/vinegar/soy sauce at the table for you to make your own sauce. Scallion pancakes were deep-fried and on the thin side. They were more oily than the homemade ones I'm used to, but the crunch and flavor on them were nice. The sour and spicy beef noodle soup (opted spicy and numbing) was yummy. You can tell the noodles were handmade and they had a good bite to them. The beef was tender, the bok choy was a nice refreshing balance to the bold flavors of the dish, and the tea egg was a nice addition. The soup was quite sodium-heavy and oily, but the flavor was quite authentic and still yummy with the numbing spice kicking in towards the end. The interior is clean and has a viewing window at the front where you can see dumplings being made in real time.

    Back again at Jade Dumpling & Noodle House. I swear this is the only restaurant I eat at when I…read morevisit Eugene. Walked in on a weekday afternoon. Grad day but came early while the ceremonies were still going on. Able to get a seat for 6 for lunch right away. Casually elevated interior. Friendly and direct staff. - pork wonton in spicy sauce - their version of chili wonton. Very flavorful and not too spicy - sichuan spicy dry noodle - mala spice which numbs the mouth a little but not overbearing - sweet and sour pork - I always order this dish. It does come on the saucier side so I recommend a side bowl of rice

    My daughter gave birth and the first thing she requested at the hospital was jook (some call it…read morecongee). I was about to drive out to Portland area to find it but Yelp help me find this place that was only 6 mins away. Thank goodness! On the outside, I wasn't sure if this place was open, but as soon as I opened the door, I see there were people dining and the hostess greeted me right away. I informed her I wanted to do take out, so she handed me the menu. I was impressed that they had some dim sum items to choose from and was thinking this will be the best surprise for my daughter! I ordered some basics and the century egg and pork jook (congee). The wait wasn't long and the items were packed nicely. I wish they added some yellow mustard and shoyu to dip but maybe it's something I should have asked for. Overall, I'm am glad this place exists. The food is good, the flavors are there but be aware, price point is pretty steep but hey, it's probably the only place in Eugene that serves legit Cantonese dim sum and congee.

    I think I've had good food from here before but this last order wasn't good. The actual fried rice…read morein my Shrimp Fried Rice was okay (kind of bland), but the shrimp in it wasn't good in my opinion. They use medium/smallish shrimp instead of the large, high-quality stuff. The intestine tract is left on some of the shrimp, leaving a muddy flavor that I just don't like. The chow fun was just okay. It is passable if you cook it longer and add more sauce at home.
