    Crispy sauce dumplings, YUM!
    Mark F.

    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!

    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 .

    Kung Pao chicken, onion and bell pepper
    Lori S.

    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.

    Uncle's Crispy Sauce Wontons
    Donna J.

    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.

    Fried Rice with Beef (requested no veggies in fried rice)
    Jade J.

    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.

    Chili Oil Dumplings
    Ashley O.

    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.

    Szechuan Bowl with Chicken & White rice
    Scott E.

    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.

    My white rice with a maggot in it.

    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.

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

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!

The staff member on the phone assured us it would be fine. However, when we arrived, we were seated and allowed to place our order. Only after we had already ordered did the same staff member inform us that the restaurant only allows service dogs and that we would need to remove our dog. This was extremely frustrating, as we had called in advance specifically to avoid this situation. If this was truly their policy, it should have been clearly communicated over the phone or at least before seating us--not after we had already committed to ordering food. As for the food, it was average and nothing memorable. Unfortunately, the poor service overshadowed the entire experience. We will not be returning.

I always find that Asian food hits the spot when I'm really hungry, so I looked online for a place that "the locals" rated highly and I came across "Jade Dumpling and Noodles" on Willamette. Let me just say that the fine people of Eugene didn't steer me wrong! My oldest son loves dumplings and I love noodles (really any type of Asian food), so this place was a gem! We ordered 3 different kinds of dumplings, shrimp, pork and a spicy pork and they were All Delicious! These "soup dumplings" were small and bite sized but were packed with huge savory flavors! They are made right there and are amazing! I myself had the mixed noodles. House made noodles with beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables, stir fried in a delicious lite sauce, that enhanced the flavors of the dish, without overpowering it. You could taste all the ingredients and they were fresh and delicious! I cleaned the plate and now I can't wait to return to Jade Dumplings and Noodles again and try their other dishes, that I know will be tasty! The staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable, all in all, a Great dining experience! Try them out and you'll be hooked on them, just like I am now!!!

    Had a road trip from LA to Seattle,I passed by this beautiful little town name Eugene today and…read moredecided to try this Chinese restaurant. It's a place that specializes in wheaten food and noodles. Looking at the menu, I noticed a wide variety of options with complex preparation methods. For example, the dough used for regular dumplings is completely different from the dough used for shrimp dumplings (har gow). Shrimp dumplings require wheat starch (cheng mian), which must be kneaded and shaped with water around 70°C (158°F) to form properly. The entire process is incredibly labor-intensive and truly tests the chef's skill level. Ambiance & Environment: You can tell this restaurant has been open for a long time, yet it remains very clean. There is a glass-enclosed prep area where you can watch the staff making the dough and noodles from scratch, which perfectly showcases their specialty. However, I was seated right next to the back door. Since customers have to use this door to access the restrooms, people were constantly walking in and out. The draft was quite strong, causing my food to cool down very quickly. I highly recommend installing a folding screen there. I also overheard other guests asking to switch seats for the same reason, so this is definitely an area management needs to work on. The Food: Since I was dining alone, I only ordered two dishes, but overall, the food deserved high praise: Griddle Cooked Beef (Gan Guo Beef): A classic Sichuan dish. The beef slices were large, the side ingredients were plentiful, and they definitely didn't skimp on the seasoning. It had a rich, robust aroma of spices that burst in your mouth. Delicious! Beef Dumplings: Easily the best dumplings I have ever had on the entire West Coast. The wrappers were thin, the filling was generous, and they were incredibly juicy--literally bursting with flavor with every bite. Highly recommended! Service: Absolutely non-existent! About five minutes after all my food arrived, while I was right in the middle of eating, a server just dropped the bill on my table. I was completely baffled. It wasn't until I pointed out that I still needed rice that they finally took the bill back. Once I finished my meal, I asked for the check. The server gave absolutely no response. Seeing a long line of people waiting outside, I proactively asked a second time because I didn't want to hold up their business. To my surprise, the staff member snapped at me impatiently, saying, "I heard you, I have to go over there to get your bill." It was genuinely infuriating. Good foods. No services
