Lots of fresh hot dinner!!
Judith M.

Everything I have said about Chen's is still true. I am adding this update after the recent ice emergency because once again, Chens to the rescue. Janie, front of the house staff, is always friendly and efficient and on a day when we had no power and the entire world was encapsulated in ice, she and the owners came to work and provided us with a delicious hot meal full of vegetables. As usual, there was so much we had leftovers to heat up on our Camp stove back at the house the next day. We CHG!!

OMG! Even bad Chinese food is generally edible. This was THE worst take out I've ever had. And I've had a lot of take out. I don't even know... There are no words to explain how bad this food was. They literally took a tiny egg roll and tried to turn it into a spring roll. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever in anything else we ordered and WTH is up with those fried shrimp? They are square??? And have a gross gelatinous texture. $45 went straight into the trash. Who fucks up American Chinese take out?

IT was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly my tummy growled from hunger. Beloved bride was recovering from her Olympic Gold Medal at Cookie Tossing. After most every meal being on the TV tray in front of the TV -- the dining room table and the kitchen table still covered with tchatkes from Christmas -- I had to go out for a meal. Chen's Happy Garden is about a 7 minute drive from my house. They offer multi-item dinners for an affordable price! I can call for pick-up and not have to worry about dishes. I called and ordered a #5 dinner: Almond Chicken Subgum Chow Mein, Fried Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Pork, Pork Fried Rice -- $12.75. I won't endevour to comment on all the dishes. None were sub-par. None were excellent. All were nothing I would go out of my way for. But for convenience, quick service (15 minutes), LEAK PROOF PACKAGING and cost effectiveness - given the same circumstances, I'd do it all over again. Nobody want's to see a bowl of "ah fooey" (everything dumped into a single pot or bowl), so I'll leave the menu from zmenu and post a picture of my dog. https://www.zmenu.com/chens-happy-garden-eugene-online-menu/

Small hot and sour soup next to the smallest size of egg drop soup. Small is just a few bucks more. No soup to go though.

Good is good. I think takeout might be the way to go. Dining in was muggy and service is so-so. So solid take out.

Jade Dumpling & Noodle House - Spicy Pork Xiao Long Bao

Jade Dumpling & Noodle House

Put our names on the wait list... seemed crowded but we didn't have to wait long…read more Food was delicious! We ordered dumplings, egg rolls, steamed buns, and braised beef noodle soup. Nicely priced for a family of 4. And we ordered a lot. We only paid $109! Service was awesome also. Our waitress was Chi-chi! She offered her recommendations and answered all our questions. There are 2 parking lots just for this Market District. They offer free 3 hour parking. We will definitely visit again when we are back in town.

We frequent the other location and the service and food are always on point! Super friendly,…read moreprofessional and quick. This location, far from what we've experienced. We wanted to try this location and was sorely disappointed. First there isn't even a hostess to take our name and inform us of a wait time. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE! Instead they provide a notepad and a handwritten sign to put your name down. In the 15 minutes we stood around waiting for some shred of customer service we witnessed one guy walk in, grab a menu then was followed by his wife. When my wife confronted this guy and his wife she stated "they had reservations". THIS PLACE DOES NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO STEP IN FOR THE 6 OTHER PARTIES BEFORE THIS COUPLE that had "RESERVATIONS". Clearly they don't give a shit about their customers and STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND! I guess they feel they have enough business they don't need future customers but if they're so busy then why be so cheap as to not hire a host/hostess? Just bad business practice.

I always find that Asian food hits the spot when I'm really hungry, so I looked online for a place that "the locals" rated highly and I came across "Jade Dumpling and Noodles" on Willamette. Let me just say that the fine people of Eugene didn't steer me wrong! My oldest son loves dumplings and I love noodles (really any type of Asian food), so this place was a gem! We ordered 3 different kinds of dumplings, shrimp, pork and a spicy pork and they were All Delicious! These "soup dumplings" were small and bite sized but were packed with huge savory flavors! They are made right there and are amazing! I myself had the mixed noodles. House made noodles with beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables, stir fried in a delicious lite sauce, that enhanced the flavors of the dish, without overpowering it. You could taste all the ingredients and they were fresh and delicious! I cleaned the plate and now I can't wait to return to Jade Dumplings and Noodles again and try their other dishes, that I know will be tasty! The staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable, all in all, a Great dining experience! Try them out and you'll be hooked on them, just like I am now!!!

Uncle Sun - Secret Recipe Chicken

I love Chinese food, and I love Chinese American food. Today... I wanted the latter. I love sweet…read moreand sour chicken (especially with traditional sweet and sour sauce, not the overly sweet red "lollipop" sauce that many restaurants use. I decided to try Uncle Sun. When I walked in, I noted that it is very small... with limited seating, and pretty bare bones in the aesthetics. Probably does a lot of take-out more than dine in. There was a strong odor of burned cooking oil that was off putting. The lady at the counter was friendly, and took my order quickly. They do not have any hot tea, which would have been nice on a cold day. So I got a coke. I sat down and had to move... as the sun was coming in the window and blinding me where I sat. Other patrons came in and had to move also for that reason. They brought my food out and placed it on the table, which was nice. Portions were decent sized. The breaded chicken in my Sweet and Sour Chicken was mostly breading... very little chicken (see attached photo). Breading was not crispy at all... a bit mushy (I suspect they use pre-breaded chicken that was frozen, which is becoming more common... blech! Hard to make that crispy, unless double fried). The sweet and sour sauce was a little bitter... which I associate with pre-made (sysco? Not made in house) sauce. Very thin, overly sweet and a slight bitterness. Rice was ok... pretty good actually. Some might say I am too picky? But with the meal, a coke, and a tip... this was over $20... and there are other places that do this meal better for about the same price.

Expensive for the portion sizes, feel like I'm getting very little value for the money. It's right…read morenext to the fifth street market so they may be trying to benefit off of those high prices over there. You'll pay $25 for a lunch that feels like it should be $15 Maybe the combination meals are a better value. The place is very clean and the food is good and fresh. The dumplings are good, a bit expensive but good tasting. Overall, it's a bit expensive and the portion sizes are a little off but the food and service is really good.

Wonder Wok Restaurant and Bar - Chicken Chow Fun

Great place to pick up quick and hot lunch to go…read more Ordered the pan fried pork buns and steamed dumplings. $12.95 each. The pan fried buns came with chili oil and the dumplings with soy sauce. Took 10 mins. Was planning to wait until I got to the park to enjoy the sun but the dumpling smelled too good and wound up scaring them down in the car. A lot of selections in the menu... planning to return to try a few other dishes in the coming weeks. Dining in seems like a very comfortable option with spaciousness between tables and clean spaces.

I recently saw a comment that Wonder Wok had excellent Mapo Tofu. So I wanted to try it…read more.. Service was ok... The gentleman that helped me was very nice... and friendly. I ordered Mapo, and it came with some steamed rice. I ordered it with Medium Heat, since this my first time here, and I have no idea what their spice levels are like. My Mapo had just the tiniest bit of spice... not much at all. I tried the chili oil that was on the table... and found it lacking in heat also, but flavor was ok. Mapo was decent... not very MA LA for those know the term... hardly any numbing Sichuan peppercorn in it that I could taste. So this is more of an Americanized version.... not the Chengdu version. Lots of sauce, and a good portion of tofu... enough that I brought over half home with me for later. Rice was ok... edges were kind of dry, so it was not super fresh. But I would eat here again... there are a lot of traditional Sichuanese dishes on the menu, and they even have meat skewers that I will have to try. Next time I will order HOT (extra Ma La)... and see if that does the job.
