    Broth choices
    Cecille L.

    I am excited that Eugene has a legit hot pot restaurant! It is located in downtown and the restaurant is medium in size. There's a good variety of vegetables, seafood, proteins, noodles and an amazing choice of broths. I make my soup the same way at every hot pot restaurant and what makes it a hit or miss is the broth. If the broth is too salty, too watered or you leave after eating very thirsty, you'll know the soup is just bullion, msg and salt. If the broth is flavorful and deep, you'll know that it was prepared with fresh ingredients and simmered for many hours. In this case at Eugene Hot Pot Express, the broths are legit. My daughters each got the tom yum and mala broths. I had the sukiyaki. We had a taste of each others soups and was very happy that it was very good. To be honest, coming from Hawaii and living in Vegas for almost 2 decades, you get used to eating amazing Asian (and other culture's) cuisines. What I found in Eugene is that a lot of restaurants doctor their recipes to fit what people think is legitimate. For this restaurant, you can see and taste the love and pride they have for their business. I really hope they do not change a thing. Especially their broths. It's not worth cutting corners to keep your business. We will support you as long as you are proud of what you serve your loyal guests.

    When you're in Eugene you must NOT MISS this unique and amazing place. Select your choice of ingredients from dozens available (extensive). Select broth and kitchen creates your scrumptious dish. ENJOY!! Appetizers and drinks available. Serve yourself primarily but staff members were helpful. Cute atmosphere. Expect delicious leftovers. We have to get back to Eugene just for this wonderful eating experience.

    I've been hoping for something like this in Eugene! It is here now and wonderful. The way it works as this: you come in and grab a bowl, and fill it with the ingredients you want. Then you choose a broth, they weigh the things you've chosen, and then cook it for you in the broth you've selected. You pay based on weight, and they give you a number. When you hear a bell ring, go up to see if the bowl that is up happens to be your number. While you're waiting, you can grab some things from the sauce bar. I took peanuts, chili oil and scallions My spicy malatang beef broth was delicious. I'm glad I ordered a the "mild" version as that was already coughing fit worthy spicy for me. Appreciate that the ingredients in the main section were labeled gluten free when they were. Hoping they will extend that to the sauce bar, appetizers and broths. I will be back! So good.

    There are no reservations at this restaurant, so it's first come first serve. Street parking was…read moreeasy to find, and we arrived around 7. The place was packed, but thankfully we were seated quite quickly with a 5-10 minute wait. The interior is cozy and welcoming. It's dimly lit with mood lighting on the tables. It felt lively since the tables were packed. We started by ordering the sake and shoyu flights and some fries with wasabi mayo while we explored the rest of their menu. We received the flights quickly. Both flights had 3 flavors and were tasty and fun to try. Each flight comes with a menu describing the flavor profile and how the drinks were made. The flavors of each flight were distinct and matched their descriptions. The fries with wasabi mayo were pretty basic fries. They were well seasoned, had a nice crunch, and the mayo had a subtle wasabi flavor without it being spicy. For our next round we ordered the salmon misoyaki, butternut squash, tofu kushiyaki, and steak kushiyaki. Unfortunately, our server forgot to bring our butternut squash, but we ended up being full with the rest of the food we ordered and just took it off our order. The salmon misoyaki was delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, and well seasoned. The mustard greens on the side added a nice sourness. The tofu kushiyaki was tender and flavorful. The steak kushiyaki was well-seasoned, but more well done than I preferred and a little tough. Next, we ordered the spinach goma ae and umeboshi unigiri. The spinach goma ae was such a pleasant surprise! It's a chilled spinach dish with a tamari/black sesame sauce that was refreshing mid-meal. Really good umami flavor! The umeboshi onigiri had the expected sharp salty/sour flavor that balanced well with the ratio of rice. Ended up dipping the umeboshi onigiri in the goma ae sauce to get every last drop. For dessert we ordered the basque cheesecake and créme brûlée. The cheesecake was just okay. The menu said there was sake and black sesame flavors, but apart from some black sesame dust on the plate we couldn't taste the sake/sesame. The texture was thick and not super smooth. It was a pretty heavy dessert and not very sweet. The créme brûlée was yummy. The custard was smooth and the crunchy caramelized sugar on top was a nice contrast in texture and flavor. The service itself was slow. We were waiting around 15 minutes between orders. Given, it was a busy night. However, we felt a bit forgotten as our server did forget to bring one of our dishes, we had to ask for our dessert menus twice, and we were accidentally served two basque cheesecakes instead of our order of cheesecake and créme brûlée. The staff were friendly, and quickly brought out the correct desserts at the end. I'd recommend ordering more dishes at once so you can enjoy more food in between orders. Would definitely come back again to try the rest of their menu. We wanted to try the Japanese sweet potato but they had sold out that night. The oysters, sashimi, and udon also looked quite good!

They were a little pricier compared to what I'm used to paying, but I figured it was fair because, we in Eugene do not have easy access to a lot of items that are found in our local chain grocery stores. I came across the produce section and was excited to find 2 bags of taro leaves (we call it luau leaves back home). The two packages they had, looked like it had smaller leaves than I preferred, but looked really fresh. I was planning on surprising my family by making palusami since I only had 2 bags and didn't have enough for make laulau. I had all of my ingredients laid out and ready. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I opened the taro leaf packages and found that inside the nice and fresh leaf, were small, wilted, yellow, brown spotted, broken and ripped with holes taro leaves! These are basically the leaves that a grocery store should not be selling and instead, they decided to deceive their customer by wrapping those leaves with a nice, fresh one on the outside. I felt so disappointed in this store! I'm from the island, I know my taro leaves. If they did this purposely thinking other people will not notice, shame on the store. I know many have raved about the produce here, and I hope that this is a fluke. I will try again in a couple of weeks. If I get similar results, I will need to talk to the owner about getting a better vendor. Or i'll just order it from back home and pay that shipping charge.

There some traditional organ dishes that are hard to find outside larger Asian communities. The lamb hot pot is especially delicious and brings serious spice. The space is a former fast-food restaurant, so it's plain but perfectly functional. The food is the reason to come and it delivers every time. The woman at the counter is always friendly and welcoming. There's a steady stream of takeout orders but the lunch specials are a great value and worth dining in for, especially since the included soup is dine-in only. If you're in South Eugene and craving flavorful Chinese comfort food, I highly recommend it. (I don't rate delivered food since the restaurant can't control what happens after it leaves the kitchen. For the best experiences, dine in or pick it up yourself.)

The fried rice is good, and I like the sweet and sour chicken too. Usually we pick up broccoli beef for my nephew and that's how I learned that broccoli beef is pretty good. There isn't much seating here and I've never eaten in; it's business is take-out. They have plenty of space in their share lot so that's never an issue. And when many places (especially in Eugene, Chinese, it seems like) are closed Mondays this one is open and close Tuesday instead. Not a bad choice for Chinese American food.
