Great Chinese food. It's walking distance from my apartment complex. Generous amounts of servings.

This place has some of the dankest Chinese food I've ever eaten. I come here almost every visit to Eugene. Last time I was there I bit into my food and got a piece of steel wool in my mouth. Other than that it's been great every time. The dining area isn't great, just a few tables and metal chairs. Probably best as a take out place. read more

When I was a kid growing up in western New York I remember two things that we got as takeout food. Pizza and wings or Chinese food. I grew up loving the American style Chinese that seemed to be everywhere. I decided to try Uncle Sun after passing by it several times on my way to work. I was really hoping to get that taste I remember from childhood. I ordered General Tsao's chicken with fried rice, chili oil dumplings, and chicken chow mein. I was hungry and I was excited. I'll start with the General Tsao's chicken. The pieces were too big which made it harder to eat and the chicken was pretty dry. The sauce was okay but still kind of average. The fried rice was just rice with soy sauce and little remnants of some egg. The chili oil dumplings had good flavor and were definitely the highlight of the food I got. The chow mein was also just okay with well cooked chicken but lacking enough moisture for the noodles and sauce. The prices were good and the staff was friendly and attentive. For a quick easy bite in a pinch I'd go back but otherwise I will continue my quest for good old fashioned, well made Chinese. read more

I love Chinese food, and I love Chinese American food. Today... I wanted the latter. I love sweet and sour chicken (especially with traditional sweet and sour sauce, not the overly sweet red "lollipop" sauce that many restaurants use. I decided to try Uncle Sun. When I walked in, I noted that it is very small... with limited seating, and pretty bare bones in the aesthetics. Probably does a lot of take-out more than dine in. There was a strong odor of burned cooking oil that was off putting. The lady at the counter was friendly, and took my order quickly. They do not have any hot tea, which would have been nice on a cold day. So I got a coke. I sat down and had to move... as the sun was coming in the window and blinding me where I sat. Other patrons came in and had to move also for that reason. They brought my food out and placed it on the table, which was nice. Portions were decent sized. The breaded chicken in my Sweet and Sour Chicken was mostly breading... very little chicken (see attached photo). Breading was not crispy at all... a bit mushy (I suspect they use pre-breaded chicken that was frozen, which is becoming more common... blech! Hard to make that crispy, unless double fried). The sweet and sour sauce was a little bitter... which I associate with pre-made (sysco? Not made in house) sauce. Very thin, overly sweet and a slight bitterness. Rice was ok... pretty good actually. Some might say I am too picky? But with the meal, a coke, and a tip... this was over $20... and there are other places that do this meal better for about the same price. read more

Great little place if you'd like to Get your Asian food fix. I'd say they are a step up from Panda Express. You can choose your base ( rice, noodles, etc) and then the protein. He cooks it up fresh. There's a mix of Chinese and Thai menu items. He's quick and attentive when you order. It's a very small restaurant with maybe a few tables. read more

Yum! This place was a score find on my one night in Eugene! The place is tiny with just a few tables and counter service. Despite being empty when I walked in, the food was delicious! I had the crispy sauce dumplings. They were served in a bowl about half way submerged in a delicious peanuty sauce and topped with some ground pork and green onions. There was some cabbage and zucchini on the bottom as well. The portion size was perfect for a light meal. Location is a bit hidden but worth finding if you want a yummy Asian meal for a reasonable price. Check'em out! read more

Uncle Sun - Crispy sauce dumplings, YUM! - Noodles Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Very cute concept for a Chinese restaurant. You could hear the chef cooking up each dish as we waited. Restaurant very bright and clean . I think their focus is on takeout . Opening till 11.30 in a college town kinda tells you their target audience . We had to try the cream cheese wonton ... nice idea and quite good. Our Mongolian beef and Kung pao chicken bowls were delicious. A side of oyster sauce broccoli rounded in the meal nicely . Many menu items so we will have to come back next time we drive thru Eugene . It's off the main road so don't miss it . read more

My meal was okay... I hate to complain about it, but I'm comparing it to the family who owned it before it changed hands when the food was AMAZING! I always order Kung Pao Chicken along with other entrees... every single time. I love Kung Pao chicken and have been ordering it for years. The problem here is that the chicken was breaded and deep fried. Whaaaaatttt? Had I known the chicken would be breaded, I'd have absolutely declined. The onions and bell pepper were chopped into big chunks, which is not the way it's prepared. I ordered it spicy, so for those of you who cannot handle the heat... believe me, you can. There was no celery or red sweet pepper-- just onion, green bell pepper, chopped dried chili and a smattering of peanuts. I ordered a large side of chili oil, which turned out to be chili oil without the chili peppers (bummer). Not a dealbreaker, tho. The side of rice was good... slightly dry, which I prefer. I tried to add Bok Choy to my order, but they don't offer it. If you're not as picky about Kung Pao as I am, you should be happy with the decent amount of food served and the wonderful service they provide. read more

Expensive for the portion sizes, feel like I'm getting very little value for the money. It's right next to the fifth street market so they may be trying to benefit off of those high prices over there. You'll pay $25 for a lunch that feels like it should be $15 Maybe the combination meals are a better value. The place is very clean and the food is good and fresh. The dumplings are good, a bit expensive but good tasting. Overall, it's a bit expensive and the portion sizes are a little off but the food and service is really good. read more

Always Fresh, Always Quick, Healthy, Delicious! This is a fairly new find to us. They have not disappointed yet. Plus there to go bags are by far the best! read more

I stumbled across this little gem on Grubhub, but ended up just calling it in. Everything ordered was fresh and flavorful. The Uncle Sun's crispy topping was worth trying something new. The crumbles were well cooked meat and the accompanying sauce made the meal perfect! Their corn egg drop soup was thick and had a tasty base. Will be getting that with every order. read more

I suck at remembering to come back to restaurants and leave reviews. But this place may be my new favorite now I happened to be scrolling on yelp when I saw them. It said only 3 stars, but the photos looked yummy, so I decided to give it a try. After googling them, they have a couple different versions of their menu out there. Which was a tad confusing, but I called for clarification on the items I wanted to order. The location was easy to find. Inside dining area is a little plain, but looks very clean. I ordered to go, so that didn't affect me personally. Get the BBQ pork buns. My favorite was ordering them steamed. But my mom loved them pan fried. I did feel like there was too many pieces of pork fat in them, but it was more like pork belly fat than a decision made to cut corners. I feel like it wouldn't bother most people, but I'm weird with textures. My mom and brother weren't phased by the pieces of fat, so it wasn't OVERWHELMING, just something a picky eater might notice. The flavor of the sauce was AMAZING though. Definitely worth picking out some of the pork belly like pieces to eat it. I ordered the orange chicken with noodles. The chicken looked similar to like, fast food style chicken. But when I tasted it, I was wrong! Inside it was very fresh. And the orange chicken sauce was really good as well. The noodles were yummy, but I would probably order fried rice next time after seeing and trying my brother's rice. My mom ordered the szechuan chicken and fried rice. She said it hit the spot just right. The chicken was good, the veggies were perfect. The sauce had a slight kick to it without being too hot. My brother ordered the dinner fried rice, add beef. The beef was very fresh. He had me try his rice, and I can attest it was amazing. The staff inside were so friendly. They included some free / complimentary items with our meal. One item we mentioned because of the sign they had with placing a big order. But then they also gave extra soup and wrote "gift" on the container. It was very sweet and just left me feeling like a valued customer. We definitely will all be coming back at some point. Whether together or bringing our own friends / different people with us. The only negative thing that I do wish would be fixed... is how their menu is written / advertised. Yes, different websites mentioned mostly the same items, but some had items that others didn't have. (Ex; grubhub mentioned steamed buns, but their website only mentioned the pan fried option) Also with the menu, I wish there was a little bit of an explanation on some items. Maybe a description of what type of flavor Uncle Sun's Secret Sauce is. I know it's a secret (and my mom did love it) but she was hesitant to order something with it without knowing anything about it. Another item that isn't described is the "Cabbage with Sauce," it doesn't mention what type of sauce is used. Overall, the negatives were minor and a quick phone call could answer any questions you have if you really wanted to try something. read more

It was good, quick food, good service. I will eat here again. Cream cheese wontons were excellent. Had broccoli and beef, very good

I ordered through DoorDash in search of a soup that would carry me through my sickness, and this was just what I needed- plus some. I have driven by Uncle Sun's location and have had it on my "to try" list. I haven't been inside so I can't speak to the ambiance or service completely. However, I will say when I received my order it was nicely packaged with utensils for two and it arrived in the time frame that it said it would. We ended up ordering the tofu and vermicelli soup, as well as chili oil dumplings, bbq pork buns, and orange chicken with broccoli bowl. The prices were more than fair and the flavors were a balance of salty, spicy, and savory. The orange chicken was not too sweet and everything was very fresh. Can't wait to go back! Definitely a great option for a low key takeout experience with restaurant flavors. read more

This was my first visit here. I was hoping to find a good new lunch place. I called in my order and staff were friendly and my food was going to be ready in a quick 10 minutes. My food was ready upon my arrival. My order was accurate and food was hot. I didn't really enjoy the cream cheese wontons. The wrapper was a bit chewy at times and it was fairly plain. Be nice if they put something in the cream cheese like green onions. I did like the Szechuan chicken bowl it was very large and the flavor was okay. I felt like it was missing some heat and wok hei. Usually to key things with Szechuan style I like. The price is excellent $4.99 for the wontons and $9.99 for the Szechuan bowl. I didn't dine in but the inside looked clean and nice. read more

Update: We tried takeout from Uncle Sun again, but were disappointed this time. Crispy Top Wonton, veggies in oyster sauce and orange chicken were sort of OK, but I wouldn't order any of them again. None was nearly as good as the Mongolian beef that I had the first time. Batter used in orange chicken was too heavy and kind of "tough." Veggies swam in a thin, somewhat tasteless oyster sauce. Crispy top wontons had enough flavor and good texture, but the sauce wasn't terribly appealing. I will try one more time in hopes of finding another winner or two. read more

I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. I ordered my order on Uber eats, upon receiving my order, there was a maggot in my white rice. I then called the restaurant to tell them that there was a maggot in my food, they were extremely dismissive and rude and did not give me a refund or anything for my order. Absolutely disappointed. read more

I have to resubmit this because somehow I have two yelp accounts! This is a great place don't pass it up as just another Chinese to go place. The food is excellent. I had the dry pot beef and it was outstanding. Hot from the wok, tender beef with mushrooms, onions and green peppers it was not dry! Plenty for two people. Husband had the kung pao chicken and the beef curry bun/bao. They were great as well. Great service as we ate in the shop. There are several tables. It is very clean and well-lit. The owner/chef came out several times to check on us. I wish I had a place like this at our home in California..guess I will be back here next time we visit!! read more

Really bad. Dry noodles, Kung Pao Chicken was all batter, Egg Drop Soup with Corn had almost no corn, requested utensils with our order, but did not receive. On top of all this was very overpriced. I've never had to pay extra to get white rice with Kung Pao Chicken until today. read more

Great service and fresh flavors! Visited over a holiday and this was our favorite meal in Oregon. We LOVE steam buns or BBQ Pork Buns and they were so good we came back for seconds before we leave tomorrow. Well lit and open space for a comfortable dining experience. They need one in Utah read more

I ordered the orange chicken bowl to be delivered and the delivery was really late (not the fault of Uncle Sun's) so it arrived a bit cold. But even cold it was delicious and I will definitely be going back! The portion size was generous and everything tasted great. read more

Food was extremely expensive. Flavors were okay. Loved the service and the family feel, but unfortunately would not go back

I ordered egg drop soup and an orange chicken bowl through uber eats. It would have been a 5 star for me but there was a piece of hair in my bowl. Kind of unappetizing. Both were great tasting, nothing outstanding though. Good for the price. read more

So here's the thing, if your number one interest is amazing food that is also affordable, you should already be here. You should smile, be polite, and not worry about being patient. You're not going to be waiting long. The service is prompt, polite and really friendly. It feels like a family restaurant. A family you're related to. It's a no nonsense straight forward eatery. If you're not amazed by the food or the value, you're honestly probably just a miserable person who won't be happy with anything. Because this place is going to knock your socks off, politely help you find them, give you a hand putting them back off and knock them right the hell back off. I stand by that. Bring extra socks cause they're knocking them off! read more

The food was not very good. Kind of dry. The doggie bags are nice, and the restaurant itself is very clean.

Service is everything here. Friendly, generous, and accommodating. We were given a free bowl of soup to sample. Portions were large. Food extra hot. Spice level medium, pleasing the most people. They have bottles of different sauces that I made my own dumpling sauce. Give it a try. read more

kinda skeptical because we were the only ones there. The owner took our order and had it ready in under 10-15 min. We ordered beef fried rice and orange chicken with a side of rice and the price was just right. We wanted to eat there, but it was all ready to go so we took it home and enjoyed what we ordered. good portions for the price. read more

Do not pass this place up thinking its just another Chinese to go place! The food is outstanding! Plus there is seating inside the restaurant. I had the dry pot beef and believe me it was not dry at all! I asked for it spicy and it was perfect. Delicious tender beef with green peppers, mushrooms, and caramelized onions. A fairly large portion as well. My husband got the kung pao chicken and it was one of the best dishes he has ever had. The cook and owner is actually Chinese and he is cooking the real thing hot and fresh. Can't wait to come back and try something else. Oh and the bao/buns are incredible and very hot (temperature) so give them a minute to cool before you dive in! Great service as well!! read more

Food is delicious. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend. Been here three times already.

The best take-out in Eugene BY FAR. I've tried them all and Uncle Sun is the only win for consistently amazing food, good prices, fast service, and did I mention AMAZING FOOD?
