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.

We stopped in for dinner while we were visiting the area. This was a great little place that I…read morewould recommend and certainly go back to next time we are down that way. 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! It's a fairly small place, so plan to wait if you are there during peak times. But it's worth it!

This is still the best breakfast place in Eugene... there's no denying it. It's vegetarian, and…read morethat's not for everyone. But it's just right for me. Parking is really the only challenge about this place. The pastry case offers a beautiful display of options. The menu is loaded with incredible choices with excellent flavor combinations. And the setting is just right in terms of being cozy and agreeable for a comfy social interaction. I really love the location in downtown Eugene and enjoy the nostalgia of this long-standing brunch establishment. You'll come for the wholesome food and be delighted by the friendly service and uplifting atmosphere.

I went here for lunch with a friend today. I've been wanting to go for a while and was finally able…read moreto go while they were open. I'm so glad we went because this place is wonderful! 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!

I love this place! I've been here a few times and love their vegan Philly cheesesteak. It's amazing…read moreto go somewhere and know I can eat anything on the menu. The sweet potato fries with the thousand island? Sauce was awesome, the falafel wrap I got a bite of was also super loaded and nice, the tempeh satay was interesting, I don't have anything (like a non vegan satay?) to compare it to. I was a little bummed it wasn't served on a stick, because that's more fun, but this was amazing. I still need to get around to trying their soft serve! My non vegan friend also loved everything :)) i feel like the Philly is my favorite, I think it may be seitan shreds? Aka it may not be gluten free, but I would check! It's up there with the vegan Philly I had ~from Philly~ :) I hope this place sticks around for a long time, it's a real gem. The chili cheese fries are divine, past me didn't get a picture or make a proper review but this is the spot! It's a food truck with nice outdoor seating next to it. There's a paid lot just behind the truck too that uses the Park Mobile app, and some classic street parking. Prices are reasonable, I am certain I will be back!

Had to check out this food stand in downtown Eugene. It certainly wasn't much to look at, but the…read morefood was good to look at though. Viva! is a totally plant based operation, with everything being okay for vegans and vegetarians. A lot of the drinks and food are based on fast food. They may not be as fast and certainly are more expensive, but the prices aren't that bad compared to other places for this kind of stuff. Came at lunch and it wasn't busy. It's because it was still kind of early. There's not any indoor seating, just outside with a few tables. Basically this is a permanent food stand. Orders are placed at the window. It's about $7 for a milkshake. Of course these are made with plant milk, so it's not as fattening as the real stuff. Has a ton of food to choose from. It's about $8 for the Savory Italian Soysage. Good and filling. This has marinara and cashew sauce. A lot more to choose from. There's also burgers, fries, and more. Good place if wanting to get plant based versions of fast food. It's closed Sundays. The whole menu is okay for vegans and vegetarians.

The food options are great. Sandwiches, hummus plate, soft pretzel, soup, and slices of pizza. Vegan and meat options and something for everyone. We've seen some great music here sitting at a table and dancing up front. There's a nice area outside that's dominated by smokers, but to each their own. We just love catching a show here!

Casey Neill and his Norway Rats infested the place, occupying many holes stubbornly, much to our delight and ultimate benefit. For 20-plus years I've been making the pilgrimage to Eugene every few years (usually on the occasion of PIELC) -- and without fail, at some point we would end up at Sam Bond's Garage. But this year -- no Sam Bond's. It's turned into the Whit franchise of a pizza place, apparently. (No disrespect to their pizza. It's delicious.) But. What happened to my favorite bar/music spot in Eugene?? Such an unspeakable loss, if this venue is actually permanently closed. I will remain hopeful that it will be reborn... somewhere else? But if not: RIP Sam Bond's Garage. We, from near and far, loved you. Thank you for the good times you gave us all.

We made a special trip to B Heavenly to participate in The Eugene Vegan Chef Challenge…read more(https://veganchefchallenge.org/eugene/). We have eaten here before and really liked it. We don't get down to that part of town often, but we plan to in the future. We had the Fried Tofu Sandwich: Breaded, seasoned tofu served on a toasted pretzel bun with vegan Dijon ranch, pickles, and shredded lettuce and a side of house chips. AND Crispy Avocado Burger: Breaded avocado fried to a crisp, served on a toasted sesame bun with vegan dill ranch and microgreens and house chips. Both were excellent and we would get them again. With all of this said, in addition to the location challenges (parking downtown, etc.), their hours usually don't work for us (they are only open M-F for lunch), being open at least one weekend day would get us there more often, but oh well. It also looks like their website domain has lapsed so they no longer have a website, so Yelp has become their website by default.
