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.

This is the best Chinese food in Eugene hands down! The chicken curry, egg flower soup, BBQ pork app all AMAZING. I've been here many times for the past 10 years and have yet to try something that I haven't liked. If you aren't someone who feels the need to special order everything and can appreciate a good chef (I feel special ordering things differently is sort of an insult to the chef, this isn't a chain restaurant!). For dessert try the home made coconut ice cream. It is to DIE for. Egg flower soup is also the best I've ever had anywhere.

There are some dishes on the menu you won't find elsewhere. Try radish with egg! I like the eggplant with scallion, too. The cook is Cambodian, so try a Cambodian dish!

While the service is spectacular, the atmosphere and food were lacking. After dropping off my sister at UO, my parents decided that they wanted Chinese food and since Golden Orient was on the way to our hotel, we decided to stop by. They were definitely lacking in the decor area - it was reminiscent of the 90's and very tacky. The owner was very friendly and suggested items of her menu that she thought we would like. we ordered the Chicken Soup, House Special Chow Mein, Fried Tilapia, Broccoli with garlic sauce and oyster sauce, and Fried Rice. Chicken Soup - The broth was okay, but the chicken kind of freaked me out. They had whole chicken pieces in the soup.. doesn't really float my boat. They also had pieces of duck.. what the heck. Fried Rice - So have you ever heard of Chinese restaurants using their employee's old rice to make fried rice? Yeah this Fried Rice plate tasted a week old. So gross! House Special Chow Mein - This was really disgusting! Normally, at Chinese restaurants, I'm always the first one to finish the Chow Mein. I took one bite from this dish and put my bowl aside because it was just that bad. Fried Tilapia - I can't say much about this plate because I didn't have it. Broccoli with garlic sauce and oyster sauce - This was the only decent item, but it still did not satisfy. We paid $50 for 4 people which is really pricy in my opinion. When I visit Oregon, I will never come back to Golden Orient.

Came with a Chinese friend who recommended the place. First impression was that the facility seemed a bit old....but one should never judge a book by its cover. :) We were greeted and served by the owner, a pleasant, elderly lady that conversed with my friend in Mandarin. When she noticed I didn't understand, she was interested enough to ask about my ethnicity... Korean, Japanese, what could it be? Eventually she figured out that I spoke Cantonese and it was quite the surprise she did too. The evening was very pleasant, as the service was quick and superb. The food was really yummy (we ordered as suggested by the owner: a squash and fish filet stir fry dish and a plate with chunks of bell pepper and delicious medium-rare beef) in addition to the Canton-style chicken soup that my friend insisted on ordering. Apparently the owner personally makes multiple kinds of soup every day, which is really awesome considering the time (hours) and dedication it takes for each batch. And it tasted so wonderfully of home. Excellent. At the conclusion of our meal, we were given warm bowls of tong sui. Mildly sweet, creamy and comforting. It was really, really nice. Kudos to the owner, her staff, and customers that keep this place open! I'm definitely going again soon.

I love it. I read a review about bad customer service from one of the owners. Whatever, so they don't make their dishes with a lot of accommodations. I don't care. I just order what I mostly want like I would at any other restaurant. The lady who doesn't speak English very well here is not trying to be rude, she's trying to be assertive and efficient. I liked her, I thought she was cool. She paid attention to my order. The food satisfies my cravings and I've definitely wish I could come here more often.

On arriving, I noticed kerosene lamp decoration. I immediately found this odd. Apparently this was once a coffee shop with a western theme, which remains in part now. The menu was disappointing, and no I'm not going to ask for some "other menu." After struggling to find something that sounded good, I ordered green beans, mushrooms and chicken. It was pretty good. The sauce had good flavour, the chicken good...the green beans weren't great, but they were tasty. I also ordered steamed rice, which seemed aged or something. On emptying the rice into a box for take out, I found a bug (ant?) in the box. Alive. Yeah, rice has bugs...but it completely erased my appetite. It was probably nothing, but I am quite sensitive about these food safety matters. The staff was friendly. They ate there after they closed, and some people (children? friends?) who were students talked about various Chinese centric subjects. How stereotypical. It was a weird setting, but they tried and it should be a decent meal if you order decently.

Not the fanciest place, in fact it's a little rough around the edges. But the food is great and comes in nice-sized portions. The owner is also their only waitress it seems, and there are sometimes language barriers, but she is very sweet and welcoming. No different then the language barriers you would encounter ordering from a Mexican at Panda Express. While their neighbor down the street, Lok Yaun is the local factory of Chinese food, Golden Orient offers a more home-style experience.

Uh, oh...I hear Cantonese being spoken as I walk in the front door. I predict some slimy, mushy, gou qian-y, low-on-taste Chinese food will be part of my very near-term future. Let's see if my prediction is correct. First, the decor. It's a low-grade stand-alone building from the 70s. Looks like maybe it was a bad copy of a Shari's or something like that. On top of that, they have sprinkled a large amount of cheesy "Chinatown" decorations, i.e. crap that white people think is Chinese. Nevermind the decor, let's order some food and check this place out: (Scene 1: In a restaurant that appears to be a low-grade Shari's rip-off filled with crap that white people think is Chinese) Me: We'd like an order of Kung Pao Chicken, but instead of diced chicken, please use sliced chicken instead. Waitress: No, sorry. Me: No, sorry, what? Waitress: No, sorry, we can not do that. Me: Why not? Waitress: We don't have that. Me: But look right here on the menu three lines down. You offer Curry Chicken made with sliced chicken. And the price is actually the same as the Kung Pao Chicken price. So why can't you just use sliced chicken in my Kung Pao Chicken dish instead of diced? Waitress: Hmmm...that's true. Let me ask the owner. (Waitress walks over to the kitchen window and yells some Cantonese to the owner/chef inside. Owner/chef gives short reply.) Waitress: No, sorry, we can't do that. Me: Why not? Waitress: Sorry. Me: ? (We walk out) Result of prediction of the future: As it turns out, I did not have slimy, mushy, low-on-taste Chinese food as part of my very near-term future. Summary: If their food is as good as their service attitude, then it probably sucks too...Gee, I wonder why this place is nearly empty on a Saturday afternoon at 1:00pm?

Only place I eat this kind of food, well unless I'm in Oakridge. I've been coming here for over a decade. The owner is super nice, very talkative, and the food is exactly what you would expect. The place hasn't changed, ever, so it's pretty old looking but the food and owner are what makes this a great place.

It's been about a year, we used to be regulars who got kind of burnt out, but I have no problems recommending the lemon chicken.

Our second tier choice for Chinese. Still prefer Lok Yaun. Portions good-sized, waitress service is good.

The food was greasy and three different times we had to kill little flying gnats off of our table. On further inspection of the windowsills we found tons of the little creatures lying in the dust. We complained to the cashier when we paid and all I got was a half hearted "I'm sorry". I might have given them another chance if I would have gotten any kind of indication that they cared.

As a Taiwanese, this place hits really close to home! The lady that owns the place is just delightful as well! For students that come to Eugene from afar, this place offers great range of authentic Chinese cuisine!
(4)Jennifer Y.
Definitely the best place to eat. Best Chinese food in eugene and it's a lot cheaper comparing to other restaurants!
(5)Leveretta C.
If you don't know authentic Chinese food, you will not be able to appreciate this place. This is like my gramma's or my mom's food. Also the drinks menu is super eclectic.

I have lived in eugene for ten years, and had never been here before, and will not go back. The service was lacking, no utensils, no napkins, no chopsticks. The place has a strange hushed atmosphere reminiscent of a funeral parlor. I had a combo plate with shrimp and chicken... The food is not good, unless apparently you order off a different menu? I will never know...

What is it about Eugene and terrible Chinese? Greasy with phoney flavors. I couldn't finish it it was so bad. If you must eat here don't eat the fried food. Follow up: several hours later still sickens my stomach ... Need more Tums

Best homecooked Chinese food in Eugene! I was given the chinese menu instead of the american one, but I couldn't read half of it anyway. The lady (methinks she's the owner?) was nice enough to recommend us simple but tasty dishes; we had the fried egg with shrimp, some stir-fried greens in garlic and pork rib soup, all of which were amazing. Definitely ask the server to recommend what's on the Chinese menu!
(4)Taylor R.
Seems a lot busier than they usually are, waitress seemed pretty disorganized and my friends all got their food before me, which is unusual. Appetizer was not what we expected either

I came here with my family after i saw the picture of the steamed fish with soy sauce but they ran out of it. However when the owner lady sensed my disappointment, she offered to make it for me with a smaller fish which she saved for her own dinner. It was so nice of her. The food description on the menu did not look very mouth watering so I asked if they had one with pictures but they didn't so I told the lady i liked spare rib dishes and veggies with tofu and she recommended braised pork ribs and tofu with chinese cabbage and vermicelli. All tasted so homemade and yummy. Homemade chilli sauce was also good. Definitely going back!
