    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.

    My husband says this is the best Chinese food in town. The crab puffs are amazing, so is the sweet and sour chicken.

I make Korean Kimchi and this is sweeter, not red, with a little kick at the end. House made noodles with beef and pickled veggies in a broth I want to take a bath in.

Maybe it takes a few minutes to get your food but it's so worth it. Clean and pleasant place with easy access and good parking. Really close off Exit 195. Go, find this place.

The staff member on the phone assured us it would be fine. However, when we arrived, we were seated and allowed to place our order. Only after we had already ordered did the same staff member inform us that the restaurant only allows service dogs and that we would need to remove our dog. This was extremely frustrating, as we had called in advance specifically to avoid this situation. If this was truly their policy, it should have been clearly communicated over the phone or at least before seating us--not after we had already committed to ordering food. As for the food, it was average and nothing memorable. Unfortunately, the poor service overshadowed the entire experience. We will not be returning.

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!!!

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.
