    Green chile burrito
    Winter B.

    I've been to laughing planet many times and it's always a reliable spot to get something healthy and tasty. They have bowls, salads, burritos, quesadillas, smoothies, and more. I got the green chile burrito this time and it was pretty good. It was huge and I did really like how packed it was with veggies. Only $9.50 which I think is pretty reasonable given the size. I do think the better thing to get here are their bowls or salads though. If you have dietary restrictions or are vegetarian etc this is a great spot to try out. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have an online ordering system and do delivery as well.

    Needs more pickles and sauce, but otherwise a heap of perfection!

    Best place in Eugene for healthy, tasty food with extensive vegan options. Everything is great but I especially like the Spanky's bowl (w. added spinach and medium salsa) and Veggie bowl (w. extra pickles and tahini dressing). Their cookies are superdelish! Super clean and pleasant atmosphere, friendly service. I love the Blair Street location but based on this past week's meals (5/8 days - don't judge!), this location may be even better. Long live the Laughing Planet Café!

    Amaizin' Grace missing the chicken I added, and a sloppy mess. Still tasty though.

    I really do like the food here, when they get it right. The issue at Laughing Planet is their quality control, both in food prep and in order accuracy. I've been coming to their various locations for years, and this maybe was always an issue - but given they've messed something up two of the three times I've gone recently, that's not a great recent record. The first time I ordered the amaizin' Grace quesadilla plus chicken, and got a veggie quesadilla - mostly an issue because the one and only food I can't stand are non crispy mushrooms (flavor is great, I don't dig the slimy texture). Thankfully, I noticed before taking the order home. This time, I ordered the same, and they got the quesadilla right except forgot the chicken (which I definitely paid for). Additionally, the quesadilla got soggy in the four minutes it took to get home. I'll always come back here, but please get your sh together!

    Tougher than expected to find Whole30, was sad that the 100% apple juice advertised was just normal apple juice. My meal hit the spot though :) I was happy to be able to get a bowl with pico de Gallo

    Bollywood Bowl minus the rice
    Melinda G.

    One of my favorite spots in Eugene. Was so happy to learn they opened a second location on Willamette. I had the Bollywood bowl with no rice. This is my go to dish. Very good! It is chicken breast, steamed broccoli with roasted cauliflower, garlic green beans (my favorite), spinach and yams. It has a real tasty Indian spicy coconut sauce and they top it with these delicious curry roasted chick peas. Yes! Delicious in every aspect and it's healthy. That is a win win. My son had the crunchero quesadilla. Wow! That was amazingness in itself. Jack cheese, black bean hummus, lettuce, avocado crema and they garnish it with cilantro and radish. I almost wanted to trade dishes and eat his! They both were excellent choices and you can really taste each individual flavor in each dish. They used to have a lavendar lemonade to die for but I didn't see it on the menu. Give this place a go if you haven't already.

    Korean BBQ Bowl
    Nathan A.

    I love Laughing Planet. I have frequented both this location (Willamette) and Blair, and ordered out from the Hillsboro a few times. Some may see the following as a small gripe, but every bowl containing beans comes out closer to soup than burrito fillings. I have ordered more than 20 bowls (thanks, punch cards, for counting!) at this location over the last couple of years, so believe me when I say it is a consistent issue unique to this location. I finally had enough and asked them to re-make the pictured bowl, and they brought out a slightly drier bowl with the sauce on the side, as if that was the main contributor to the problem. I have covered my bases, dropping several written suggestions in the box, asking the manager nicely, and trying to remember to request a more thorough every time I order. Maybe a negative online review will finally grab their attention. I will gladly revise or delete my review when something changes. UPDATE: 4 years later and all their bowls are still soup. Come on y'all! This rice bowl is full of water!!!! Get it together!!!!

    Cookies!

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!!!

We got a table pretty much immediately. We sat outside, initially at a table right by the wall. We could smell the dumpster so it wasn't great, but once another table opened we were offered the option to move and we took it. The new table was much better - no smell and it was next to a heater so it was nice and cozy. The outdoor patio is pretty cute and the fresh air was nice! I have a soy allergy so I had to ask the waitress for an allergen list to make sure I would be okay. They were very nice and accommodating and told me what was and wasn't safe to eat. I ended up getting the focaccia with white bean paste, something I was skeptical of but really liked! The bread was super delicious and the bean paste was well-seasoned. The little slice of lemon it came with was a great topper for it all too. I would definitely get it again! I also got the sparkling lavender lemonade and it was so so good. It was perfectly balanced and I couldn't stop drinking it. The food was all pretty affordable which I appreciated. Lunch and drinks for two people was about $35. They don't do tipping here, they actually pay their employees a livable wage which is fantastic. They have a pay it forward program you can donate cash to instead, it goes towards breakfast for people in need. The employees seemed happy and were very friendly. They seemed to really enjoy working here which is always a good sign. I will definitely be back here. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. They are wholesome people doing important work and we should all be supporting them. Go here!
