    Orange Chicken
    Cesar D.

    We had family in town and wanted to find a restaurant that would allow a large group to share multiple dishes, one of our friends suggested Spice n steam. From the outside the building does not look so inviting, but once you step through the front door you are greeted by a very friendly staff. We had a party of 8, they quickly seated us, there were many open tables around 4pm, but within the 1.5 hrs we were there, the location was full without any open setting. They also have a side lounge toward the back of the building. They have ample space for many large groups or just for two. The ceilings and walls hae many asian inspired decorations, the room feels very inviting. Even with the buidling bring right off a main road way, we did not hear any outdoor noise. Their food taste and portions were great, we tend to visit many chinese restaurants, for me and the group I was with we were very impressed to the point of us looking forward to our next visit. We ordered the OG Pork Dumplings (steamed) very tasty, nice dipping sauce, everyone enjoyed the appetizer. We followed by ordering, Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian chicken ,Szechuan Garlic Braised Beef, Orange chicken, House Special sauce green beans, Sweet and Sour pork and a side of egg rolls. We finished most of tht items but took a few things home. Lots of proteins, veggies and a lot of taste throughout each dish. We enjoyed some wine and Sapporo beer with our meal.. They have many Tea and Sake options. The Service was solid considering how quickly the restaurant filled up. They have a private parking lot which made it very convenient, it is within walking distance to many other DT Eugene hotels.

    I was looking on Yelp for a place to have lunch in Eugene and Spice N Steam popped up. I had looked for dim sum places there before and finding this was a happy surprise. We got there as it opened. We ordered their hot tea which was a delightful blend of green tea, jasmine, oolong and chrysanthemum!! This is definitely a reorder. We ordered our standard siu mai, har gow, and fried shrimp balls. They were all super delicious!! The siu mai were shrimp and mushroom. I've never had that combo, were a very generous size and amazing. Har gow were, also, delicious. Interestingly, there wasn't a sauce except the soy on the table. They were good and really didn't need one-though, would be nice to have. The fried shrimp balls were decadent. I love the fried wonton crispy on them and inside was succulent shrimp. They had an interesting red dipping sauce. I wasn't a fan but others liked it. I miss the carts being pushed around the dining room and seeing all the delicious options but understand there aren't enough customers for that at one time. The food is excellent and they earned their Best of Eugene award. I would definitely go back and do recommend them. I

    Salt and pepper tofu, xoxo sauce noodles, shrimp dumplings, and radish cakes
    Wells L.

    TL:DR - A super solid spot for a "smaller" town. Would be a very solid option in any large city. Place was pretty empty for lunch on Sunday, but dim sum does seem available at any time during the week. Shrimp har gow, shu mai, radish cakes, and salt and pepper tofu were all good. The big stand out was the XOXO sauce rice noodles. Perfectly chewy with a great slight crust of xoxo sauce on the outside. Friendly service, slightly below average dim sum prices compared to most cities. ---------------------------------------------------------- I don't get the low rating for this place. Read this is one of the only dim sum spots in town so we decided to give it a shot and were not disappointed. I will say coming from larger cities, walking in on a Sunday for lunch, I was shocked to see this place completely empty. But as far as I can tell, dimsum is not limited to just weekend lunches here. As such, dim sum is just a menu section and not something that is pushed around on carts. We ordered the XOXO Sauce Rice noodles, shrimp har gow (shrimp dumpling), shu mai, radish cakes, and salt and pepper tofu. They were all very solid dishes, nothing you would say "oh, it's good for middle of nowhere." It was legit solid for any city in the US (Chicago, San Fran, etc.) Nothing amazing, but all very very solid. The one dish I was most impressed with was the XOXO Sauce Rice noodles. Super chewy noodles with good flavor, and they stir fried it to perfection where there was the slightest crust of xoxo sauce flavor on the outsides. A great alternative carb that's not rice or even lo mein. Service was on point, friendly and perfect amount of frequency. Prices were about average, if not slightly lower. Most places I expect to pay about $20-$30 a person for dim sum, we did about $50 for two adults and a baby and had some left over for take home. All in all, a super solid spot that Eugene should be very proud of.

    Very food on the expensive side but worth it, maje sure to check them out, better if you dine in verses carryout, you'll get the full experience.

    Yum! Food was delicious. Their soup dumplings were fresh, soupy, and had a good amount of filling. They stuck to the containers a bit, but they were tasty nevertheless! The eggplant tasted a bit oily, but the texture was really good. The chicken with canton bean sauce was delicious. The place was spacious with cool decor.

    I have family in town who wanted to eat Dim Sum and we found Spice 'n' Steam. The menu was quite large with a lot of variety. We ordered several dishes that were all absolutely delicious! The customer service was amazing and our waitress was extremely attentive. This restaurant has a romantic feel. Low lighting and red lanterns on the ceiling. A great place to go for any occasion or gathering. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back to support this business.

    84. Thin Egg Noodle
    Steve P.

    We heard about Spice n Steam from some friends who really liked it. I looked at the Yelp reviews and was impressed with what I saw. Having lived within walking distance of China Town for a couple years in San Francisco, I was eager to try out what looked like very authentic cuisine. Our group met there at opening time and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. We were seated and drinks arrived promptly. At each place setting was a small dish with a paper napkin, a fork and genuine engraved chopsticks, not the cheap disposable kind. The term Dimsum really took me back as I hadn't seen or heard the word in decades. Yep, small bamboo baskets or plates with various assortments of delicious bites, just what the appetite ordered! The Vegetable Spring Rolls were a big hit! Very crispy delicate pastry with steaming hot and very fresh veggies that were so fresh they were still crisp, completely vegan and completely acceptable for this carnivore. Pan Fried Pot Stickers were very flavorful. Perfectly seasoned with a hint of soy, the ground pork sausage was very fine and the flavor was not overbearing. The noodle had a very light crisp and held together well. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was perfect with bite size cuts of chicken in a crispy coating with an aromatic glaze of sweet and sour sauce. Bits of sliced peppers and onions rounded out this dish and again, the veggies were so fresh that they still had their crispness. The Thin Egg Noodle with Chicken was also very good. I really liked how the flavor was rich yet hard to define and there was a generous amount of chicken. On one hand it was almost like a beef broth flavor, but then again, more of a light soy.. hard for me to distinguish but it was very light and tasty. The Baked Bbq Pork Buns were also very unique. These unassuming little rolls will knock your socks off! They were like small hot Hawaiian Sweet Bread rolls. When you bite into one, the steam and aroma of barbecue comes out and there is some very flavorful pulled pork inside. The meal and the service were excellent, but the check was a bit of a tangled web. We did ask for a split check for two couples. We were told 'no problem, I'll do it at the register'. Well the check was combined on the ticket and left us scratching our heads trying to figure it out. You see, the check was very confusing and mostly in Cantonese! There was an English translation as well, but after some back and forth with the waiter over trying to figure who owes what, we finally got it sorted out. That was the only bump in an otherwise fantastic meal of authentic Chinese food.

    Our son's graduation lunch 6/17/2024 - not all guests pictured
    Maria I.

    This has been "our spot" ever since we nervously dropped off our son at UO fall 2020. We dined there every time we visited and brought our son and his friends. We especially enjoyed XO noodles, soup dumplings, braised pirk, and tripe! During one of our visits, we noticed that they were building out the back area. My husband spoke with John and asked if we can host our son's graduation party in that area if it's done by then. Fortunately for us, work was completed late last year. So, on June 17, we hosted lunch for 40 people. Things were a bit hectic and we failed to take pictures of the food. Suffice it to say, everyone raved about the food, the service, and the space! Big thanks to John and the staff for being our spot, from beginning to end of our son's UO experience! SCO!

    Kung Pao chicken-
    Robyn G.

    Atmosphere was loud and hectic. It was a busy Friday night. Chaotic you might say. Service was efficient? Not a lot of fluff, which was fine. The food was really good! We had egg flower soup (the best I've had in town), pork potstickers (really yummy if somewhat over-gingered), kung pao chicken (really good, a little less spicy than I'm use to, but thankfully, not over-gingered), and braised chicken (this was my least favorite dish. My hubs ate it, thought it was good, but said he liked the kung pao better). I will definitely return, the food was so good and portions were generous.

    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.
