The boiled dumplings are clearly handmade--you can taste the freshness of the dough. The pork and cabbage filling is clean, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The pan-fried buns are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with a generous, flavorful meat filling. Every type of dumpling has its own unique flavor, and with each bite, you'll think, "This one is my favorite!"--until you try the next one. This place is truly a hidden gem for dumplings in Eugene.

The service was fast and efficient and the food came out fairly quickly as you might expect. Lots of flavors and spice in the dishes. The Kung Pao Chicken was probably the only dish I wasn't impressed with out of our order. It was just kind of strange. The Dan Dan Noodles were delicious and the dumplings, pork buns, all delicious!

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.

But the market parking is always full, so parking is challenging here. First impressions weren't great in all aspects... there were 3 tables in total but we had to wait to order. Although we did get the complementary shrimp chips and water immediately. THE WATER TASTES FUNNY... like a hint of dishwashing liquid was still there, it was not just me, I asked the entire table and they agreed. It's a great space so definitely hip... but not without a cost... trendy location means higher burden for the business and higher prices. I didn't think I'd see a pho special priced at $24 yet in Oregon but here we are. Granted bone marrow is not cheap and it's a very unique rendition. The other problem is the volume of noodles... literally the cheapest part of the dish... there was very little for a $24 bowl. We asked for extra noodles and they obliged for $2. Also that bone marrow was DIVINE if you're into that... but yet again... it's "butter" so what do I eat it with? The tiny amount of noodles or the fried donut that has a lot of oil content as well... my answer is... MORE NOODLES! Oddly enough the bun xeo which usually is a lot of work to put together the omelette was a good value. Yet once again just the lettuce pieces. I'm comparing to pretty much every PDX joint... which gives more than 3 lettuce leaves... because honestly the omelette has enough protein to make at least 5. They need to rethink this. Certain herbs are harder to get and we're in Eugene, the palate is different but more than just mint would be nice. Flavor wise it was fine... and I enjoyed it albeit on the tame side. The Staff was very attentive on water refills and clearing dishes. A lot of potential... but some things are just off balance.

SOLID 3.5 stars. Service: 3.2 (off to bad start)…read moreFood: 3.5 (a little lacking) Ambience: 5.0 Long overdue review of this newish Vietnamese restaurant in the Market District. I set my expectations low since I live in the SF Bay Area, where there are multiple cities with "Little Saigon" districts. Upon entering, we had to wait a bit before any staff person saw us to and get seated. They didn't seem overly, busy, so I'll attribute it to being short staffed, growing pains and still relatively new. The restaurant was very open and spacious. We were eventually seated at one of the taller tables in the front of the house many of the other patrons were seated at tables in the back of the house. Once seated though, our server provided an overview of the menu, recommendations and his personal favorites. We were given a small dish of shrimp chips...a childhood reminder for me and it was a nice touch. They were freshly fried, crisp and not greasy. We ordered the pho bo tai ($19), bahn xeo ($17) and the com chien (fried rice). Firstly, the com chien, a family recipe, was amazing! I was really impressed with this dish and would order it again. The banh xeo was a bit lacking--it wasn't bad, but nothing really memorable about this dish. While it was generously stuffed with bean sprouts/veggies, pork and a couple pieces of shrimp, the downside was it made the batter a bit soggy and the crispness vanished--pretty at presentation, it did not hold up well and fell apart while eating. The Vietnamese coffee was strong but it had a strange aftertaste--kind of soapy. The pho was alright--nothing stand out about it. There was plenty of meatballs, sliced beef and lots of broth. With the exception of getting seen & getting seated, service was good. Our server was attentive, checking on us regularly. Overall, I may check it out again and try other menu items on my next trip to Eugene.

I finally made a point to go and check it out since every time I drive by, I tell myself I should try it. This place has a cool concept with good potential. You choose a sauce, a type of noodle and add any extra toppings. Easy peasy. My impression was that this place needed extra help because the tables and carpet were dirty and trash was full. Customer service was what one would expect from a fast food restaurant, run be teens. The food was okay. It hits the spot if you are looking for a fast, budget friendly fast food.
