The food was solid. I had a combo plate with pork fried rice, fried shrimp, a shrimp egg roll with egg flower soup and my wife had BBQ pork and crab and cream cheese wontons. The service was perfect for us: minimal, yet courteous and attentive when we needed it. Their business seems to have shifted to a delivery-first model which dampens the dining room's ambiance a bit. The building is nondescript and utilitarian, it's not flashy nor does it try to be. The focus is on the food at a good value. If you want good American Chinese food, it's a good option especially on a cold day while drinking all of the hot tea. read more

Very good food. It is out favorite Chinese restaurant in Eugene. We always go there at least into a month read more

Lok Yaun Restaurant - Today's special Daily Special Combo - Chinese Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I also tried their daily special as well, as well as their egg flower soup. Still good service, but not a lot of ambiance. I like that their daily special is basically a greatest hits of their best dishes. This would be the dish to try if you didn't know where to start. Don't forget the orange sauce. read more

Food was really funky tasting. Services was fine and ambiance is as to be expected from a Chinese restaurant.

If you're looking for the American Chinese restaurant experience they have a great takeout system the restaurant a little plain since they moved locations, but there's a little something for everyone. More people were taking out food than eating at the restaurant when we were there. read more

As a native Chinese, I cannot believe how horrible they make their food. How is it even possible to mess up a simple pork fried rice? Me and my boyfriend took two bites of our food and took home and transformed the food ourselves by adding Chinese spices. We cannot even sit there for 10 minutes to eat more of what they gave us. Eventually we tossed everything away, adding spices and refrying didn't even help a single bit. Never going back, worst "Chinese" food ever... read more

One of my favorites and my families definite go to for Chinese food. Food is always fresh and consistently good. Huge portions which is one of the reasons I love coming here, leftovers! Service is consistently great and prices are real fair. They have a good menu and some great combos to choose from. read more

I ordered food to be delivered. I got the egg flower soup and a #13 combo meal. The soup was okay but the combo meal was like it had set all day under a heat lamp all 3 kinds of chicken tasted exactly the same and it was so dry and tough that I couldn't eat it. Also after eating 1/2 the rice and 3 or 4 pieces of chicken I became very sick to my stomach and felt very weak. I will never eat there again. read more

Had the egg foo young .. ooof. Not good. Not freshly made, it was rubbery. I crave egg foo young and was hoping it'd scratch the itch. Just terrible. Sorry. I had to throw it out. read more

This guy lave use to be soooo good. It was always very crowded. Now you walk in and it's looks like they're not open. Food is disgusting! A waste of money.So sad. Or use to be so good! read more

My favorite restaurant. Amazing subgum; fried rice, Mar Far chicken. Friendly people.

Lok Yaun has never disappointed. No extended waits to get your food, good service and very friendly employees. Owner is very charming.

I'm super sad. I have loved this place for over 30 years. I hadn't had it for a while because my wife is not a huge fan of Chinese food. It wasn't even close to what it used to be. It looked and tasted like mostly frozen premade food and really just disappointed. I as some others have said I hope the owners see this and make some changes to go back to their previous quality. read more

I have worked 12 hours. I am tired but I need to bring food home for the kids. Of course they are starving. They want Mcdonalds. I'm sick or that. I got an extra 30 dollar tip so I thought I would treat us. I went in and they were not packed I just said I needed to place a order. to go. I asked how long this order would take as I have babies at home waiting to eat. She told me 10 minutes. Great can I just have some water She was super. Brought me the water.. 25 minutes after the water still no food. My kids are calling me crying because they are hungry. I finally ask for a refund. and the staff calls me rude. all of them. I just left. yes they refunded my money.. but the experience left me scared. if they would of told me 25 minites I would gracely said thank you and left read more

My Daughter and I had lunch other day, it had been awhile since being here because last time food was not at all like it used to be .I'm a long time lok Yaun customer used to come from out of town to old one when I was a kid and even after being a adult and living here we would dine here or get take out . This visit the food was good, much better than last time we had eaten here .The egg flower soup was still good :) we used to call it the cure all soup if we were sick and would pick some up to go .this time tho I was worried how I was going to feel after eating lunch due to , the dining area it is full of their inventory boxes, which to me is not eye appealing and gives not clean vibes.They really should make a wall or something to hide that , Our waitress was friendly and on top of making sure if we needed anything. Unfortunately probably won't go back for awhile or at least not until it gets a good cleaning and maybe few updates. Hopefully lok Yaun owners see this and make a few changes don't want to see this place fail. read more

The restaurant was very clean and one thing I can say is every employee was working hard! The food was Hot and Fresh! The portions were perfect. Great Service everyone had a smile. We will definitely be back!! Go! Eat! And Enjoy! read more

I've gone here for the last 15 years with my kids and family. I love this place. It's the best place to go in town for a quick solid tasting Chinese food and friendly service service. read more

This restaurant was the best in Eugene from 1977 to 2000. It was okay after 2000. Then after they moved from the OG location to where they are now, meh :p read more

Overall, the food and service at Lok Yaun is excellent, worth the drive as we are on the other side of town.

Had not been to Lok Yaun in YEARS and was needing a Chinese fix so gave it a spin. The Pot Stickers were great but the dipping sauce was VERY salty which was too bad. I had the the Number 2 and the veggies seemed fresh but something was lacking in the flavor (the good thing is, they do not use MSG here). The fried rice was typical and the Pork Foo Yaung was good and did have decent flavor. Not too sure if I would be back. read more

Ever since they moved, this place has gone downhill significantly and very quickly. It's like they've lost any sort of standards or consistency in that move. I've been in here several times with my mom and my brother. I typically hate Chinese food, but I'll tolerate it when I have to. Mostly because these two never gave me much choice. So we end up here. I've had them serve us tea in a kettle that the bottom was covered in sweet and sour sauce, supposed to be clean. I mean, if I can catch something like that before it's even sat down on my table, why the hell can't the staff notice it? That is something simple, in my opinion, that is a quick fix/easy catch. But you have to have quality control, which doesn't exist here. Every time we come in here, they are just terrible. They pay no attention to when people are seated, so we end up waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and a group that sat down 5 minutes ago has their order taken immediately, while we're left waving for someone to acknowledge us. When it is brought up to the waitstaff, they are short and rude about it. Our concerns or issues don't matter. Literally we've had one shake her head, as if not hearing us, and said, she just works there. It's pathetic. No one comes to clean the tables off either. I've had to stack dishes and plates on the window sill as we are putting stuff in boxes, or when our food arrives and there is no where to put the soup bowls. The food is always cold. I used to watch them in the old location making everything and being placed in the window, and it being brought to the tables immediately. Here it seems like it sits forever being it's brought out. I have no idea what changed, but it is just terrible. Even though I am not a big fan of Chinese food, I am sad to see a business that was once good just fail so completely now that they've moved. It is sad to see. I wish I could like them and want to return, but I just can't anymore. There have been too many bad experiences. Review 184 of 2017. read more

We ordered dinner from hear last night and it was awful. Mushy shrimp. Tough chicken. We ended up throwing it out.

I used to go here a lot back in the day when they were at their old location. I moved and hadn't gone in years, once I came back I was excited to eat here again... Not going to happen. I prefer my Broccoli Beef to have Beef as the Protein, not random bugs Sure the prices are cheap but since they can't be bothered to see what they are putting in the food... I'm never going back. read more

Lok Yaun Restaurant - Larval Bugs found in my Broccoli Beef - Chinese Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Lok Yaun is one of the best places to eat in Eugene, Oregon. My favorite dish is the Salt & Pepper Chicken. Over the years I have tried to copy this recipe and I can never recreate it. I just moved back to Eugene from San Francisco, Lok Yaun still has the best Salt & Pepper Chicken and Low Mein. I used to go here with my Mother and extended family growing up and in all the years that we dined here. We never had a bad dining experience. The portions are generous. I still love eating leftovers from Yok Yaun cold the next day, that is how you know Chinese food is good, if you like eating it cold. The oil content and spice balance is always right, even cold. That's how you know that the food was cooked at the right high temperature and with fresh high quality ingredients. read more

Lockyard has been a dependable Chinese restaurant for years in Eugene. We used to go in and get mounds of great Chinese food and have leftovers for days. Lately I've been calling and ordering it for via delivery service and even though I ask for utensils and plates every time I never ever ever get them. Food is great but if you have no way to eat it it takes away from the experience. Not sure what it takes to get them to include what you asked for. Maybe if you pick it up yourself and you request the utensils be handed to you it would work out read more

New to Eugene in the last year! We have not found any good Chinese restaurants in the area until tonight! So excited! This place was nice and bright, great smells and packed with People! The menu choices are great! So happy to have found this place! Pot stickers egg flower soup and general tso's chicken were to die for!! We got the Szechuan family Dinner for 2 and it actually fed 3 ppl with leftovers! Highly recommend it, will be our new favorite spot in west Eugene to eat! Yum!! read more

This is a rough one. I find myself more and more disheartened. I'm trying to branch out from my typical Chinese-American places. I was told Lok Yaun would fill the void, and boy did it fill it, with more sadness. Whole heartedly I wish that I could give a good review. I was turned on to them by a foody friend, who clearly has lower standards then I expected. I'd love to say something positive about this place, but I'm at a loss for words. Half my meal was decent. My typical fair of sweet and sour chicken and Almond chicken were a base level good. However the spring rolls, lo mein, egg drop soup, and rice (yes even the rice) was busted. Something went wrong along each one of these foods being prepared and delivered for human consumption. I'm giving this a three star on the fact that this was a delivery, but if I where to have been served this in house, it would be a return to sender remove from bill situation. read more

I had take out which was chicken lo mein and kong pow chicken. Both had a lot of chicken and vegetables. Good taste and generous helpings. My wife was disappointed that there was no fortune cookies, read more

Salty. Greasy. Slow service. Sad and outdated ambiance. Had high hopes - I am in search of the old fashioned egg roll stuffed with mung bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. read more

Ordered pork lo mein and shrimp egg rolls for delivery. Service was fast and food was great. The pork was roasted and sweet--delicious. The lo mein also wasn't overly sauced, which I find preferable. Tons of veggies in it, too, and the to-go container was packed full. The shrimp egg rolls have shrimp in there, but there's nothing shrimpy about them. One egg roll is 2-3 times the size of a standard egg roll. (I used a fortune cookie for size in the picture I took.) They also appear to be battered, which I wasn't expecting but it was quite yummy. I definitely look forward to trying new menu items from here--if they're all as good was what I had today, I'll be back often. read more

The food is good, but I called in an order on the phone. I looked at the menu online and placed my order. I thought the prices were very good, but when I picked it up, the price doubled. I was a little bit shocked when she asked me for $65 when I added it up to around $35. I told her that was not the prices you have online and she just said ooh ya, that is very old prices. Really??? Update your website, that is false advertising. read more

The hot tea tastes like dirt and the fried rice tastes like someone put a pound of salt in one serving. The same experience happened a couple of months ago, so I decided to give it another shot and nothing has changed. It's horrible. I don't even know how this place stays in business. I won't go back there. read more

i've been eating here for about 40 years, maybe more. The prices are very reasonable. The food is very good in the portions are large. Especially like their egg flour soup, my fried chicken and pork chow mein. I believe it's the best place in Eugene and I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants. read more

Lok Yaun is by far my favorite Chinese place in the mid-Willamette valley. I've made the hour-drive to Eugene just to eat here multiple times. The BBQ pork tastes like it should, the Mar Far chicken has a perfect combination of sweet and savory, and they have the best egg-roll I've had in the states. The prices are low and the portions are enormous. We always get the family meal, and we have at least another full meals worth of leftovers after. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Take out only on September 8. Was my long time go to for Chinese American food. I will miss it.

My last few times using Lok Yaun have been very disappointing. They used to add more sauces in with the order and all at a decent price. This time, thy gave us 1 packet of Soy Sauce and then charged us almost double the price advertised on their website. When we asked about that the woman at the counter (who has become rather rude) said that is old pricing. This is false advertising. It is their fault their website is not up to date. I think we will start using another Chinese restaurant. read more

Sorry, I want to like this place as it's right by my house. I hadn't ordered from there for a long time and decided to give it another try for take-out lunch. I will say, portions are very generous. But it's extremely greasy, pretty bland, mushy spring roll. Not worth the money. But PS, it's still pretty greasy but makes very adequate left-overs. read more

I still love this place! Still my favorite spot in Eugene! A must eat at while I'm town. Lemon chicken, generals beef(extra spicy), and the best egg flower soup! We love Wanci, our server! read more

This has been my go to Chinese restaurant in Eugene for 2 decades. Always happy with the food. Try the egg fu young it's delicious!

The best food I've had in a long time. The staff was great, the portions are huge. I will come back every time I visit. 100x better and half the price of P.F. Chang's. read more
