Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Owned by a couple. The guy is always nice and welcoming every time I go in (like a dad, his children graduated from UO). I recommend this place if you are looking for authentic and healthier Chinese/Cantonese food. Better than many other Chinese restaurant on and around campus. It's right next to DoughCo, not noticeable. I am glad this place is on campus, used to visit them once in a while when I attend UO. The interior is small and they have smaller menu compare to other places, yut very authentic and less grease for sure. Food is priced right for the quality and quantity.

I was rather intrigued by this genuine hole-in-the-wall Chinese eatery, so I recently went with a friend. Was not impressed with the upkeep of the place, but it's understandable considering the fact that's run by an elderly couple... Anyway, ordered as advised by the owner: a "gravy" dish with egg and broth infused, stir-fried with broccoli and shrimp. This was served over a layer of white rice. My friend ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. My dish sort of evolved over the period it was consumed. At first bite, I noticed it was a little bland, with no extraordinary flavors leaping out. Second and third bite, my taste buds became more accustomed with the mild flavor. Fourth and fifth bite, I began to taste and appreciate the chicken broth, slightly sweetened by the shrimp. About halfway into the meal, I realized how much of the broth really made the dish. Not bad, but not extraordinarily good -- however, you must realize the dynamic flavors you expect to taste are actually from copious amounts of sugar, salt, and msg, right?... Overall, it tasted healthy and I felt alright eating it. Some cons though: the shrimp (despite the owner's insistence otherwise) was the cooked-and-frozen kind, and the rice was only edible. Also, my friend was disappointed at how not-spicy her Kung Pao was, so I would advise future patrons to let them know if you want it seriously spicy. I haven't tried their other dishes yet, including the beef-on-rice dish that people seem to rave about, but haven't decided when/if I'll go back. All the more power to whoever wants to try and yelp about it though.

Small place, run by a couple, that has great comfort food. I almost always get one of their hot pots when I come by, and it's impossible to leave without a smile. The Lion's Head is particularly good, containing huge nuggets of ground pork and mushroom with plenty of veggies. Prices are fair and the portions are big. The only downside is that they seem to be closed randomly whenever I feel like stopping by.

Awesome place for the authentic chinese food. The owners are chinese couple who are really nice and friendly. My friends and I usually order the Spare Ribs, thats the bomb. I usually drive to Eugene from Corvallis just for Toms Tea House

Its always been good every since it opened in the 80's. The food choices has changed however the taste remains the same. Prices are reasonable and the different kind of variety of food that is served that is not on the menu.

If I want some Chinese comfort food, I head to Tom's. Where else can you get congee or soup dumplings in Eugene? Nowhere. It's a dive inside but the food is hot and fresh, prepared with care. Definitely one of the top Chinese places in town.

I understand that the owners might be on a low budget but the interior of the restaurant is rather inexcusable and looks very crummy considering it's right by the UO. The lady who took my to-go order was very polite and helpful. I ordered the beef with tofu though it was alright, nothing special. There was not a lot of beef and the sauce could have had more flavor. She gave me a completely filled take-out box of rice, however, which was good. Although the dish was very brothy it was given to me in a standard foam take-out box, which immediately leaked all over the inside of the bag, soaking the napkin and chopsticks. The lady immediately noticed, awkwardly took my food, and put it in a new bag with new utensils but the problem was still apparent. The problem would have been prevented if it was served in a proper container. Next, while waiting for the food (which arrived promptly) I noticed my table smelled like stale cleaning water which was unappetizing to me but didn't seem to bother the other customers. Lastly, I decided to remain seated at my table and try the food right there but the lady politely asked me to move because there was a party of two waiting to sit down (I was also with another person), so I left. On the way out, however, I noticed a man sitting at a four-person table in the back casually reading the paper and not even eating. The lady did not ask him to leave, just us, which seemed very rude and almost discriminatory. Everything their menu has to offer can probably be found better and in a more comfortable atmosphere elsewhere in the campus area.

Some say my reviews are too acerbic, too focused on the negative, too sparing with the stars. They might be right, and at least from their perspectives, they probably ARE right. After all, what are the odds that I'm right while multiple other intelligent people who agree are wrong? About Tom's Tea House, however, I have no doubt. The only positive thing I can say about Tom's is that a business of the same name once occupied the building at 7th and Monroe where my first love lived when I was a teenager. That was a long time ago, and today that old place is a wreck...much like the greasy, tasteless stuff served at Tom's. The primary flavoring used by Tom's is salt; they're so incompetent that they sometimes serve the hard, dried-out grains of rice that collect on the sides or top of the rice cooker, or noodles that were clearly cooked more than an hour ago. This, of course, is an epic fail. I'm giving Tom's an extra star out of respect for the memory of their old location, which still makes me smile. I can't lie though...the food is just bad, even as a last resort after an evening of drinking. If you're jonesing for late-night Chinese, I suggest heading to Kowloon's (they also deliver)...still no prize, but far better than Tom's.

Tom's Tea House has been in decline lately. Two years ago, I love coming to Tom's Tea House with my friend. However, lately, it is disappointing. I give a three-stars just because of some of the good food that they still have. Let's just say that if you want good food at Tom's Tea House, order off the menu. Get their Lion Head (it's meatball stew) or their beef on rice. But, make sure that you don't eat too much there because everything tastes rather similar after a while. It's a pity that such a good restaurant is going downhill quite rapidly. If they do something about it, maybe I'll re-review. I will go back here (not soon for sure).
