What a surprise this little place by the college have some legit asian food! I was visiting my daughter and found this place on Yelp. Since we were by the college, we walked over. We weren't really sure about this place at first because it was empty and the lady didn't really acknowledge us. Infact, she kinda disappeared somewhere for a while. We looked over the menu and was thinking about leaving when one by one, people were walking in either for take out or dine in. We decided to stay and give it a try. We gave her our order and within minutes, the items came out hot and smelling good. The hot and sour soup. mapo tofu, dan dan noodles and spicy dumpling. Everything was on point and delicious. We've been back twice. Have to say that price point was a wee bit up there but it's a small town and we have to pay extra. Unfair but it is what it is. **If you come to Vegas, I can give you tips on which places to go for practically half the price! lol read more

Eugene is truly a beautiful place. Tonight, I went to the downtown area and decided to try this busy Sichuan restaurant. What surprised me was that most of the customers were Westerners--it's hard to imagine that everyone can handle such bold, heavy flavors, but I decided to give it a try. Environment: The overall lighting is quite dim, with black tables and black chairs. The ambiance is also on the darker side. Taste: We ordered shrimp wontons, dan dan noodles, and a bowl of maocai (a type of spicy boiled dish). The maocai was quite watery, not at all like the rich, thick broth of boiled beef in chili sauce--the ingredients weren't very flavorful. The shrimp wontons were very fresh. The dan dan noodles were delicious. Service: The restaurant is run by a Chinese couple who moved to Eugene about 10 years ago. You can tell they really love this place and run the restaurant with great care. When I was paying, for some reason my card kept getting declined, but the owner actively helped me figure out a solution, which eventually eased the awkwardness. I hope they keep getting better and better! read more

Grabbed take out from here on NYE. Had the Cumin Lamb and Green Beans...absolutely delicious!! Highly recommended. Closet thing to Kung Fu Bistro (RIP) I've been able to find. Really good. I'll be back! read more

Really bad service and the quality of the food has dramatically dwindled over the last couple of years. I won't go there anymore. There are far better places to spend your money than this place. Even the college students stay away and it's right next to the UO. The read more

This place really surprised me! For a place so close to campus, I expected at-best-average-Americanized Chinese food. What I got was pretty authentic Chengdu food. I got the spicy fried chicken which had plenty of meat (vs just breading), really good flavor, wish it was spicier but it was crispy and tasty. The spicy beef noodle soup was also rich in umami flavor, a tad too salty for me personally but the beef was tender, the noodles had a nice bite and the broth was pleasant. All in all, I'd like to return and try their other dishes. Well done, Uniquely Chengdu! Their prices are also very good. read more

I had a friend of mine recommend that I try braised eggplant, which is their favorite dish from the Sichuan culture they grew up in. The picture they sent me looked so good, I immediately began scouring the local Eugene restaurants for this dish to try. Enter: Uniquely Chengdu. The chef behind the quaint restaurant on East 13th Ave learned his craft in the capital of China's Sichuan province, which is Chengdu. He's started at just 19 years old and has been perfecting his craft for 26 years. You can certainly taste his dedication with anything you order from Uniquely Chengdu. My favorite dish has to be what my friend told me to try: the braised eggplant with garlic sauce. The sauce is so delicious you won't want to waste a single drop (I poured the rest over rice) and the eggplant is cooked to tender perfection. I've tried many other dishes from their menu as well, like their delicious honey walnut shrimp for instance, and you really can't go wrong with anything you order. If you want a genuine taste of Chengdu, definitely stop by and eat some food from a chef who's mastered Sichuan's unique flavors from the source! read more

There doesn't seem to be many Sichuanese spots in Eugene so it was cool to find this spot. I tried the Mapo Tofu and Sichuan grilled fish here. The Mapo Tofu was pretty decent. Not the best, not the worst. I think it could've been spicier and more numbing. The grilled fish was good too but very very salty. I also expected the grilled fish to come out bubbling like it's usually supposed to but it didn't. Seemed pre-cooked and not fresh. Still, the flavors were all good enough for me to be willing to come back! Service was quick and the ordering process was easy. I think it costs extra to get a box to go so consider bringing your own container! They are very environmentally conservative! read more

Restaurant walls were splattered with sauce. Should have been my first clue. Food was average, nothing I would go back for. Not bad either just not a lot of flavor. Not the authentic Chinese food I was hoping for. read more

Went to this Chinese restaurant recently. Overall, it was good but pretty average. The food was decent and came out hot, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise. Service was fine, and the place was clean. It's a solid spot if you're craving Chinese food and want something quick and reliable, just don't expect anything out of the ordinary. read more

Short: this place is a gem of Chinese food! Absolutely delicious, flavorfully authentic, and steaming hot! I've ordered through GH a few times prior to a physical visit to the restaurant. The interior is spacious and you quickly get greeted. Menus are out the window and the first thing when you walk in. Service was quick and efficient. [Food & Cost] I ordered kung pao chicken with noodles, part of their daily lunch specials. [$13]. Having worked in a Chinese restaurant for a few years I'm very familiar with my favorite. Yes, it sometimes can be on the oily side, but its piping hot, deliciously made. Plus I can hear the wok in the back. [Quick Note] When I was dining, I saw a few ladies hand-making some dumplings, so you know it's fresh and delicious food! Honestly, overall, Uniquely Chengdu is not only a take-out favorite but a Chinese favorite for me! read more

We were craving for Asian food after having American food for all of our meals for all 3 days. I was a little hesitant finding a good Asian, let alone a Chinese, restaurant within Eugene, OR. Based on Yelp reviews and recommendations, we ended trying out Uniquely Chengdu. This place is a bit of self-service and party with dine-in service. All the patrons have to write down their own orders and take it to the front counter. Understandable, given the limited number of staff in the restaurant. The lady sever was very nice and did great in getting our food served quickly. We actually thought it was too quick! Hahaha I especially liked the grilled fish on the hot griller. I miss eating spicy food. It was amazing how they had so much items in the dish with the fish: tofu skin, celery, tripe, seaweed, mushroom ears, cauliflower, and French fries. It was delicious. The cumin lamb was also a hit with the adults. The kids loved the veggie fried rice and XioLimgBao (steamed dumplings). My younger son devoured the beef noodle soup. He can eat a whole serving on his own. The kids also ordered from their Asian blended drinks. Most of them got the mango Yakut. They wanted the brown sugar drink but they ran out :( Overall, this is a great place to get good Chengdu cuisine and if your craving for something spicy. Maybe you can ask for the dishes to be a little bit spicier if you love spicy food. The spice level was very mild for my tastebuds. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - spicy beef noodle soup (D4) and spicy hotpot noodle soup (D9). The food was good overall but the chili oil does cover the taste of the broth a bit. We were slight confused by the raw SPAM like protein in the hotpot soup as it didn't quite fit the rest of the dish. Ambience: 4/5 - spacious shop with large windows that lets you people watch as you enjoy your meal. The store does feel older or the decorations isn't kept up well. Service: 2/5 - only one lady managing the front of the store but she disappears to the back quite often. When we walked into the shop we weren't quite sure if we were supposed to order at the front or sit at a table so we awkwardly stood and waited for about 2/3 minutes before she came back to the front. After we sat, she gave us a little pad and told us to write down what we wanted then walked away. There's a sign that says they're trying to save paper so pay at the cash register. We stood for about 3/4 before she came back up to address us. As I went through the payment process, I tried to input my phone number to get a receipt and she cancelled or rushed the prompt which doesn't allow me to finish the process. I then asked for a physical receipt and she became a bit flustered trying to state they don't print receipts. She did end up providing a copy! Value for price: 4/5 - decent food, reasonable price, but didn't quite care for the service. read more

The food does have decent flavor, especially compared to a lot of Chinese restaurants in Eugene. But, we spent $50 for a delivery order of Mongolian beef, and the house fried noodles. $50 for two plates is already insane, but the portion sizes were absurdly small!! The Mongolian beef could've been sold as an appetizer. And it didn't even come with rice. Never once in my life have I ordered Asian food that didn't come with a side of rice. That just makes the $50 price point even more absurd. I will say again, the flavor of the food was decent. But, it was extremely oily. Like, coated my lips in oil level of oily. And the fried noodle, I dug through the whole thing and only had 2 pieces of shrimp, and one piece of beef. To charge $18-$21+ for appetizer size plates with 2 shrimp and not even include rice to sop up your oily sauce is crazy. Won't ever order food from here again. read more

Service was a bit clumsy and rushed, but the food came out very fast and very hot. Overall everything was just okay tasting. The noodles were good, but not my favorite flavor. The cream cheese wontons came with brown oil sitting inside of them from the fryer and they also didn't come with any kind of sauce. Soda here is served in a can, which is fine, just an fyi. Some people at our table enjoyed their entrees more than others so it depends on your preferences and maybe what entrees you order. read more

This was my first time trying this place and it surprised me. I tried many dishes that were new to me and most of them were good and had good flavor but a little on the salty side.

Food was bland. The food was old and not fresh. The orange chicken is very dry and to buy from Costco would be more tasty. Noodles where the overcooked fried rice seemed to be without soy sauce. Very bland fried rice. Very over price with small portions. Ended up throwing away the leftovers anyways from being bad taste. Would not recommend read more

Came for lunch. Was very hot inside restaurant and the water had no ice. We tried scallion pancake, a tofu dish and a cold noodle dish. Overall food was ok- I would not get any of the dishes again. The tofu was very greasy and not flavorful. The scallion pancake was crispy- tasted deep fried. Maybe because restaurant was hot but it was not appetizing. Noodles were ok. read more

This is one of my top two favorite Chinese restaurants in Eugene. It has some pretty good Sichuan food, and I am always quite surprised the variety and quality of the food here. I have tried many menu items here, from Dan Dan Noodle, their Boiled Fish Filet w/Chili Sauce, Chengdu Vegetable Steam Pot, etc. I'm definitely a spicy food eater, and the fact that this place leaves me sweating is a bonus. The food uses Sichuan peppercorns, which is a must - the numbing spicy always makes me want to eat more! Although my stomach always hates me afterwards, in the moment, the heat and the spice keeps me going... I haven't tried their more American style dishes and can't vouch for those, but for some really good spicy Sichuan style Chinese food, give Uniquely Chengdu a try! read more

Top marks for the fish soup! Amazing combination of flavors. Beyond happy with the food here. Food out early time was met with a very quickly available dish. Lovely smells as well. Highly recommend. read more

What a fun, Dining experience while visiting Eugene. I was looking for a place that was open and not a chain. It wasn't very busy but probably had a lot to do with the fact that the school at the University was already out of session. Service was fast and kind, food had wonderful flavor, but my only critique were that my soup dumplings had holes in them and had leaked out most of the soup. I really enjoyed the green onion pancake, but they were really different from others that I have had, as these were light and fried. read more

Sometimes, a little hole in the wall will really surprise you. This was one of those times. We were exploring the UO campus since our kid starts there in the fall, and wanted something different for lunch. We just happened to stroll past Chengdu and so thought we'd give it a spin. The menu is mostly Szechuan, and boy was it spicy - not in a bad way just perfectly, lip-tingling, tongue-smacking spicy. Noodle dishes were perfectly prepared, steaming hot, and very reasonable - just like you'd expect on a college campus. I hope the UO students know what a gem they have here! Wonton soup was authentic, lots of veggies and flavor, overall this place just did not disappoint. Their "wall of encouragement" full of wonderful messages really brought a smile to our faces while we were enjoying our lunch - who wouldn't like to read uplifting messages with spicy food? All in all just a perfect place for a spicy Chinese lunch - can't wait to get back there and try some more of their specialties.! read more

You guys are hit and miss, but tonight was a complete mess! I ordered through GrubHub and you did not deliver what you were supposed to deliver. There were no Giza's and the shrimp wonton was pork wontons. The rice was chicken, mushroom rice and it had shrimp in it. We will not be going back even though we have been going here for a year. This is the second time you guys have been Really really really bad.!!! read more

Envy for the university students that they could enjoy such authentic Chinese restaurant just near by the campus. Ordered Vine Pepper Fish, Spicy Fish, and appetizers in 2 visits. Mainly the menu is Szechuan cuisine (from Southwest China), which dominates the great deal of famous Chinese dishes. The owner/chef of this particular restaurant came from Los Angeles (California) and brought the best selection to northwest that we might not find easily in Portland and Seattle. --- 2021.05.15. Update: Stopped by here on our way back to Eugene, ordered Eggplant with Garlic Sauce (鱼香茄子 $12.99), Chengdu Style Chicken Salad (盐酥鸡块 $8.99), and certainly 2 of the Lamb Kebab (羊肉串 $9.99 for 4). read more

We ordered take out a few days ago from this university hang, and it was pretty good. The portions are small, but it tasted pretty authentic and we enjoyed what we ordered: broccoli chicken, chicken chow mein, kungpao chicken, and spicy beef noodle soup. The flavors were very good, a little salty, but good. The prices are decent--not as high as some Chinese places in town: about 13-17, depending on the dish. We'd order again from them. :) read more

Right next to University of Oregon. Rice was not free. They took card. Had a bathroom, and the spicy chicken was really good!!

The food is fantastic!! My mom and I were visiting from out of Oregon and wanted to eat some authentic Chinese food and this was everything we could dream about! Tastes exactly like the food you would get in Chengdu China. The service was quick and polite. The ambiance is very relaxing to enjoy your food in peace.
