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.

Jung's is my very favorite restaurant in the Eugene/Springfield area. It's an EVENT going there. I always follow their suggestion board for the "Hottest" and add extra scoops of all the hot ingredients. I put the liquid in my bowl before I add the other ingredients. That way, it doesn't spill all over the place. Then, I move onto the meat. Pick your fave. Mine is pork. The smaller the pieces, the easier the cooked meat is to eat. Then start piling on the veggies.....YUMMY! The last thing should be the noodles and don't be afraid to make that mountain as high as you can! I thought I was good at this, but last time I was in, a woman smoked me! Her noodle/veggie mountain was almost TWICE as high as mine. Wow...I was impressed. I always ask the grill man for extra crunchy noodles. He graciously leaves my pile on the grill longer than the rest of the patrons. The wait staff is always right on it with the water and such. It's a hoot of a place! Look for Yelp and Groupon deals for Jung's. Oh, and for you sentimental folks out there, I asked if they ever plan on opening another Jung's any time in the near future and the waitress told me that the owner finds it more important to be with his kids while they're young and that if he opened another, he would never see them. How cool is that?!

Really good food and fun to make your own food.

For this type of food it's pretty much as good as it gets. It's all you can eat and its for the right price. The wait staff is always super nice and accommodating. This is a VERY healthy place. We like to go for lunch because it's $2 more for dinner and the only difference is they offer lamb and sea food as a meat choice.
(5)Dan T.
Best Mongolian food you can get in these parts. Fun staff, DEDICATED owner, and a good family place. I don't get why people don't like the glutton fest that goes on. I like seeing the expert stackers. Seems people don't get that It IS all-you-can-eat, but if you only get one bowl- you can take home the leftovers. Hence, the super stacking. My only complaint is that the owner can kick my ass.
(5)Mark P.
Consistently 4 stars. Today's visit gave our group of four people two bowls that were not clean, but that was fixed promptly. The food was extra delish today with the chicken in very small pieces which we like, and the garlic sauce extra garlicky. We will miss Jungs when we move to Seattle in the next few days. My advice? Tell the cook to get the noodles just a little crispy. The blackened bits are excellent!
(4)D J.
Visiting from out of town and thanks to yelp found a great place for dinner. Super fresh ingredients and the first time I've ever seen shrimp and salmon among the meat options. Chose the "full flavor" sauce recipe...delish!

This place is way past due for a re-review!!! So I came here and packed a bowl on Saturday. Of Mongolian food!! What were you thinking I packed a bowl of?? Haven't you seen their shirts? Geeez you guys. We came here for lunch and I was stoked that we did. I had a HUGE hole in my gut needing filled and some fresh, grilled goodness was the plan. We were seated rather quickly by the hostess. Our waitress got us waters and then left. And when I say left? I think she actually left. As in, left the building. Simply because we didn't see her once the rest of the time we were there. We couldn't get bowls, drinks, or anything. Thankfully, there was another girl there who we bugged the whole time and she took care of us. I still grant all 5 stars...even with that glitch... The food is plentiful in these parts, and they have a great selection of meats, veggies and oils/spices. Meats: Beef, Pork, Chicken (I believe they have Shrimp and Lamb for dinner) Noodles: Nuff Said... Veggies: Sprouts, Onions (white and green), Spinach, Cabbage, Zucchini, Water Chestnuts, Baby Corn, Broccoli, Carrots, Jalapenos, ....that's what I can remember... Oils/Spices: Sweet Vinegar, Garlic water, Lemon water, Chili infusion, Soy Sauce, Coconut Milk, Cooking Sherry, Red wine vinegar, Peanut Sauce, Yellow Curry...again, that's all I can remember... The grill masters were efficient. They stacked close to 8 plates on the grill at once and I never seen them mix the ingredients from other dishes once. It was pretty busy, so at times there was 2 guys grilling away. I went back for 3 large plates. Yeah...I ate 'em!! I thought each was awesome in it's own way. My first plate was a fair mix of noodles and veggies and meat. Second plate was more veggies with less meat and no noodles. The third plate was a carnivore special, Beef, Chicken and a little bit of Pork, mixed with green onions and water chestnuts for texture. I wont go into detail about what each plate was like, but each of them were fantastic in their own way. And the best part? You have nobody to blame BUT YOURSELF if you dont like your food. Too spicy? Dont put so much on next time. To sweet? Dont add teriyaki next time. Too many veggies? Dont add so many next time...Catchin' my drift here? So if you like to lay blame...i would suggest hitting a drive through... For a total of 5 heaping plates of food and drinks, we walked out paying $15 and change, plus tip for a solid $20. WELL WORTH IT!! Go pack a bowl at Jungs!

Best mngolian in town. Always fresh and I made it so four stars for me. Wish I did not have to see the gross floors though 8-(
(4)Taos Y.
It was a decent Mongolian place for the price. Went for lunch and it needed more choices. I'm sure the dinner spread has more options. The price was good for all you can eat $8.50. However I was a bit put off by the no taking home leftovers policy, seems wasteful.
(3)Chris D.
Fast, efficient & delicious! Get out of my way fatso!
(4)Ryna E.
This place is my favorite place to eat in Eugene. Healthy food choices. It is very clean and the staff is friendly. I will miss this place now that we are moving ;(
(5)James C.
A decent Mongolian barbecue is a rare find around here. I just say that I was quite impressed with the food and overall presentation. Waitress was sweet and offered to box up our leftovers. Needless to say we were not able to finish our meals. Do you ever at an all-you-can-eat? By the way, hoisin sauce is an option. Yaaaaaaaas. That made me so happy. Jung will see me again.
(5)James A.
Jung's Mongolian Grill is one of my favorite restaurants in Eugene. The food there includes a lot of options for vegetables, meat and seafood. I've never waited for long for a table, even though the place seems to be full every time I go in. The prices are great for the type of food that it is. I can eat a lot for the price of the one bowl and a drink. The wait staff and the grill cooks are always friendly and helpful. I just wish it was closer to my house- I'd go there every week. The owner is a friend of mine that I used to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with. He's fought in several amateur MMA events in the Eugene area- not that it has anything to do with the business review, but I thought it'd be an interesting factoid about the place.
(5)Guy B.
I think we pick the right Mongolian to stop into tonight. The food was fresh and there was quite the line at the grill. The guys working to grill did a great job keeping the food moving. My only disappointment was having only one noodle instead of some options. Good choice of vegetables, meats and sauces. Dining room was clean and service was on point. Will be back!
(4)Tara B.
Excellent Mongolian grill. Best in town that I've been to so far. The only thing I would love to see there is bamboo shoots! Which is standard for Mongolian!!!! Other than that..... No complaints!!!
(5)S E.
Nice selection of food to grill although the line to get on the grill can be slow during peak times. Staff is friendly and they do have brown rice if you want it rather than white. Would be 5 stars if they did a better job with cleaning up the food that falls on the floor around the serving area. Overall, I've been here a couple of times, it's a great value, and I'll be back.
(4)Nathan W.
This place is tucked in the corner of a plaza but has pretty good food and very friendly staff. You can't beat unlimited portions for $12!
(5)Samuel W.
This place was everything I wanted it to be and it was very reasonably priced! I would go back if they had one in SF. I wish they had a spicier option for sauces but other than that it was amazing.
(5)Erinn B.
Best Mongolian Grill in town, don't bother going to any of the others. Great food, great prices, excellent quality. Lots of choices and you get a good bang for your buck, plus the restaurant is the nicest of any of the other Mongolian Grills. Crave it all the time!
(5)James L.
There is such a thing as second chances. my first experience here was a bad one months ago with customer services but today we had a good experience, the food was great and the service was good. our table got accidentally cleaned out but they were pretty fast and fix it. We got the drinks free for the mistake and she was apologetic about it. My advise? I would say try it, and come hungry because it's all you can eat.
(4)Barb Y.
Great food, great service. We enjoy coming here for lunch when we are in the area. I just want to say that there was an issues with unsupervised children and the awesome staff stepped in removed and replaced the food they were playing in.
(5)Chun M.
I have not been to a Mongolian grill in ages since the last one closed in the east village of NYC, so it was a surprise to find Jung's in Eugene. For dinner, $11.25 is a super bargain. You're given a large bowl to load up with noodles, meat, veggies & your customized sauce. The meats (beef, pork, lamb & chicken) are decent, same as what you would get at a hotpot joint. Vegetables are fresh cut with a varied choice of broccoli, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, baby corn, tomatoes & peppers (green & jalapeño). Load up your bowl, sauce it and hand it over to the chef to cook on the giant hot plate on steroids (5 ft diameter?). Just because we were the only Asian people in the place doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. The guys worked it almost like they were at Benihana, tossing, turning, basting & serving up. If you didn't put on enough sauce, they will add more for you. And if that wasn't enough, you can add more when they hand the steaming plate back to you. If you're hungry & looking to chow down, grab a bowl, pile it on and crank up those chopsticks! When you're done with your plate, go and do it again because it's all-you-can-eat and the limits of your stomach will be tested.
(3)Christopher B.
I love it! I'm pretty simple though. I want big food, good ingredients, something that won't clog my arteries, and comfy seating... all at a fair price. Jung's delivers (for me) on all the above. I eat a few bowls of beef broccoli and tomatoes + cilantro, then i pay my $10 and go about my business with a smile on my face. Of the few Mongolian places I've visited (Corvallis, river road, coburg road), Jung's offers the ingredients and experience that I prefer most.
(5)Paige T.
Fresh food, attentive &friendly staff, clean establishment. What's not to like? You can customize your food however you want and the lines aren't too bad. Definitely an instant favorite. Went three times in a two week period and every time j had a great experience.
(5)Clinten S.
Best mongolian in town don't bother with others. Come down and pack a bowl. Try it with the jung spicy recipe. Or if you like it sweet pineapple chicken teriyaki with coconut milk is awesome to. And don't forget the rice wraps.
(5)Shanice R.
This place is tasty! Great selection of items to fill your bowl even a vegetarian will love the options. Only thing I dont like here is some of the time the cooks get in a hurry and dont leave it on the grill long enough, food definitely tastes better when the noodles get done well.
(4)Robyn K.
Jung's was one of my first discoveries when visiting Eugene - recommended by a friend. I was immediately in love! Since moving, it's been one of our go-to places. Always great fresh ingredients, great customer service! I love that I can take home what I don't eat and have another awesome meal later.
(5)Cherry C.
I would say do not have high expectations going in... There seemed to be a lot of great reviews and even friends recommended junga but personally I wasn't happy. Good quality is just so horrible. The meat looks so gross and tasted nasty it was supper chewy :/ blah. Seriously want to puke. Anywho maybe I have high standards.
(2)Jay P.
My wife and I like Mongolian grills and have frequented many. This place was the best of them all. The way I know this is because I myself tasted it and because my wife actually finished her plate. She is a very picky eater and if she doesn't like something she won't finish. The ambiance here is great, you can smell the grill from outside which was great. The selection of items was great, however less sauce options then I was used to but we made it work and outcome was tasty, The customer service was good as well, waters were filled and were attended to when needed. This is a great spot for couples, but might hit the pocket book for the whole family.
(5)Tianyi S.
Things I like about Jung's (I mean, besides the fact that it's AYCE): 1.) Lamb, shrimp, fresh salmon, fresh leafy spinach, tofu, onion, zucchini and condiments like coconut milk, chili oil, sesame oil, garlic water, lemon water, vinegar, and peanut sauce. Also, did I mention lamb, shrimp and salmon? 2.) You can take what you don't finish from the first go-around home. Your food comes with passable rice. 3.) I'm still full and it's been like 20 hours since I've eaten there. Things I don't like about Jung's: 1.) It's been 20 hours since I've eaten there and I'm still gaining weight as food continues to digest. Faaaark.
(3)John W.
We have eaten at this place several times in the last year, (since I've moved here) and last nights meal was as awesome as ever. They have a good choice of meat and protein and even though the lines can get long while waiting for the cook, it is worth it. Since it is an all you can eat, you won't go home hungry. On my first bowl of food, I just put a few noodles and veggies in it and the second bowl, just all vegetables. Last night we were there and we stood next to Tony K who I see has posted a review. He asked the cooks to cook his food a certain way. We watched as the cook prepared it EXACTLY as requested. In fact, the cook made other people behind us wait as he was concentrating on this person. We also saw the confrontation in the restaurant as it happened right next to us. The owner said that since he has been coming there for so long and complains every time, it would probably be best if he finds somewhere else to eat. I don't believe the customer is always right. His food was cooked exactly like he asked and during the whole meal, he was complaining how bad it was. When this person went back in as asked for the owner, the first thing said was "I'm going to Yelp this". I just wanted to make sure that the whole story was told, like asking for your food to be cooked a certain then you shouldn't complain when it was cooked under your guidance.

I don't know what the big hype about this place is. I love mongolian grills but it took me a while to head down to this one because I'm so fond of the Eugene Mongolian Grill on River Road. But I finally bit the bullet and did it. The place is dirty. That was my main issue. Just straight up dirty. The decor and all that don't really matter to me but when there's food all over the place and you're stepping on it... I can't deal. I understand you serve yourself all your noodles, meat, veggies, etc, but are there not enough employees to clean up after messes are made? I barely wanted to fill my bowl because food was all mixed in eachothers containers and all over the counter. My other disappointment is when I found out you can't add your own teriyaki, they do it for you. Hate that. When my food was cooked I asked for extra seeing as I could't put it on myself, but even when I sat down to eat, it wasn't enough. They don't continue to move your food around the grill either. It basically sits in one place causing your noodles to burn and get hard. I didn't even eat half of my plate before I called it quits. I don't like leaving negative reviews. I hate being negative. And even if I happen to hit this place on an off day, I wouldn't go back. Probably not ever. Just not my place I guess seeing as there are a lot of good reviews. I'll stick to the one on River Road from now. :(
(2)Mike J.
Took the family In to try it out and we really loved it. Food was great, place was very clean and welcoming and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was really good and fresh. A nice healthy alternative to all the other stuff out there with great taste. We will be back. A real gem in Eugene.
(5)Jason J.
I've grown to love this place. I eat there once or twice a week. Sure, it's simple food--you almost prepare it yourself. They do such a good job at it, though. The staff is super friendly (and the girls are really easy on the eyes). And the ingredients are really fresh. I made the mistake recently of trying their competitor on River Road. Yuck. From the facility to the service to the ingredients, they didn't hold a candle to Jungs. You'll only need to stray once to know that Jungs is the king of Mongolian grill in Eugene. Highly highly recommend. BTW, watch out for the wild dingos.
(5)Brandy C.
My daughter says 2 is appropriate because: "The food tastes the same. All their sauces are really spicy or really bland, the veggies and the meats are pretty good- they have a wide variety. The rice is very moist but the mu-shu wraps on the edges are pretty crusty. Overall it's pretty good, but we got mis-charged double!" My husband and I rate it a 3, so it's more of a 2.75. If you don't like the food at Jung's, you really only have yourself to blame since you determine the configuration and flavor of your meal. It's an all-you-can eat Mongolian Grill. We rarely go- it's delicious, but I have some health concerns and $12 each for dinner is pretty pricy for teriyaki veggies and rice. I always wonder if we eat enough to warrant the expense. Sadly, people get full-on RIDICULOUS trying to pack as much as they can in one damn bowl. They look like hogs and many of them were packing their food down with their hands, pushing as much as they can in so they can pile on more. Some of the customers were unsanitary and sloppy- food fell on the floor, they touched the raw meat with their grubby mitts and then grabbed the utensils pack their bowls- there has got to be a better way to do this. I "get" gluttony at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but dang! There's apparently an "art" to it- you go backwards so you can get a ton of meet and the noodles stay pretty well on top. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an art to strappin' on the feedbag- YIKES! The people-watching is horrifying- it started to feel embarrassing to be there standing in the "chow" line with people comparing how much they were able to get in just one go-through. You *really* want to be sure you wash your hands after you pack your bowl and present your food for cooking, but there are only two bathrooms- one for each gender, which is never enough for a restaurant of this size. Watching the food get cooked is neat. I wonder about people with allergies, however, as there appears to be no means of truly separating ingredients and no provisions made, such as a separate cooking area for people with severe allergic reactions, such as celiacs. Like many restaurants, Jung's seems to be getting concerned about the bottom line and it shows. They are clearly cutting costs and raising prices and getting *really* nitpicky. The menus are aging and not being replaced (or cleaned!) They no longer have almonds as a topping choice, prices are up, staff seems to be down (and hard to waive down for assistance.) It seemed like the sauces were watered down and difficult to detect in the final product over the teriyaki, though it's a LOT of fun trying new flavor combinations. Some policies aren't all clear. In one place, it says you may take home leftovers. In another, it says that leftovers are not allowed. It makes sense that they would not be allowed, as people could take their second or third bowl and make it into "leftovers" to eat for lunch the next day, but this should still be clarified- I witnessed a person doing just this. After some discussion amongst the staff I guess the guy got to take his full bowl of leftovers home, but it was an uncomfortable (and loud) scene to witness. My kiddo is 10. We were seated and ordered her the kid's bowl. I didn't let her HEAP the bowl, I let her get what I thought was a reasonable portion. When she was finished, the waitress offered her another bowl. I didn't know they were doing unlimited or seconds on the kid's bowls, and so was surprised- I don't know whether this is explained on the menu; I expect it is, but I couldn't check as our menus were long gone by then (as was the waitress- she literally dropped the bowl and ran to help another table). My daughter was excited for another go-round and took the second *kid's size* bowl with my admonishment to not get much as she had just had a single portion. She came back to the table with maybe a cup of cooked food on her plate and nibbled happily. Unfortunately it is NOT the case that kids are offered second bowls, and since we accepted we were charged adult price for her meal. The cashier had kind of a snotty air in telling us so, as if *we* were trying to pull something when, in fact, I rather felt it was the other way around. Had I let or helped my child heap her food onto the bowl as others are want to do, we would actually have paid less for the same amount of food, or more, but instead left with hard feelings. Rule #1 of great customer service, your customer should feel glad to give you their money and should want to do it again, not as if you've pried it out of their wallet.

My first Mongolian Grill experience left me satisfied, but still a little iffy.... it was strange piling a bowl full of what looked to be freeze-dried meats, but the vegetables were fresh, and the noodles were yummy! Grab a bowl, stand in line, and pile as HIGH ^^^ as you can with all of the ingredients your little heart can desire. Then watch Jung's team cook it on the massive grill. Fun! Stepped in just minutes after they opened, and wow does this place get busy!
(3)Janicr R.
I used to like this place, but lately, not so much. There's food all over the floor around the buffet table, and sauce is spilled all over the sauce counter. ` Their motto is "pack a bowl at Jung's" Unfortunately, some people take that to heart, and literally pack their bowls as tight as they can, with their bare hands. They then continue down the line, contaminating the utensils as they work their way back to the the noodles to pile on top. Some customers actually reach in and grab the food with their fingers, instead of using the tongs or spoons. The management is ok with this. ` The service is also poor. On our last visit, we never saw our waitress, or any other waitress, once we sat down with our food. Subsequently, we were unable to get any water.

I've had Mongolian BBQ before but this was my first time at Jungs, it had the highest yelp rating in my town so I gave it a shot. I wasn't disappointed, but I can see why it has 4 stars instead of 5. Upon walking in it took a second for us to be greeted, it seems like the waiters take turns greeting and being cashier; they should just hire a hostess. Once we were seated we got our bowls and waters very quickly and our waitress was very sweet. The bar had a great selection of meats, veggies, and sauces and was completely stocked. I did like the sauce recipes that they offered, however, they should recommend using at least 6 scoops of sauce regardless. I thought 4 was enough but I definitely could've used more! The cook took on about six bowls at a time; while that may sound impressive, he wasn't able to really watch each bowl individually, which caused some of my meat to get dry and a bit burnt. Overall the dish had nice flavor, but it would've been perfect had the meat been cooked better. The wait staff was very accommodating to my table, and the man who checked us out gave us tips on the best time to come in and beat the rush. I will definitely go back!
(4)Gregory N.
Jungs is a unique experience. You walk in, get seated, then rush to the area where you pile on the worlds largest mound of food into a bowl and take it to a cook who grills it right there in front of you. The cook works his magic and when done, gives you a piping hot bowl of hunger pang eliminating deliciousness. Jung's has a lot of great meat choices and combinations that you can create. Come hungry because the real value is when you can serve yourself up another dish. The seating is pretty good, and even though the grill side can get a little cramped while you wait for you food, you wont feel rushed or cramped when you finally get to sit down.
(5)Scott S.
This place is close to work and I've eaten here half a dozen times over the past few years. The experience hasn't changed much. The food and service are consistent. A couple notes: - I'm not interested in eating a ton of food at this point in my life so that doesn't appeal to me. I only come here if it is going to please the person I'm going out with. - My sons love this place. They range in age 12 to 28. They love filling up the bowl and then going back for seconds. I'm a popular guy when I suggest this place and plus I'm paying
(3)Drew H.
Always a mediocre choice going in and I knew that.......the cook somewhat burned my dish but he somewhat commented it was all you can eat so I could always get more. ehhhhhhhh....ok I guess???
(2)David H.
I've been going to Jungs regularly for about 8 years. I think it's a fantastic restaurant. The staff is amazing--fast, friendly, and good at what they do. I've noticed that there is rarely a turnover in employees, which signals to me that the ownership must treat them well. The food is great. Lots of veggies, good meat, comforting noodles, and tasty sauces. I've also found this place to be good for dieters (especially Atkins). It's easy to get a delicious plate of nothing but meat and veggies. The cost is also very reasonable. One of my favorite things to do is "pack a bowl" to take home. One can easily fit three meals into a single takeout portion, which for dinner can include lots of salmon and shrimp. Not too bad for $9.95.

We have been to this restaurant before and thought it was good. It's fairly busy around meal times and you have to wait in a fairly long line sometimes but they do a good job. The vegetable selection is good but the meat selection was average. Maybe they put more selections of meat out for dinner but we ate lunch there this time. I like a selection including pork, beef, chicken, sea food, and lamb. This time only the pork, beef, and chicken. It was still good but what made the meal was the exceptional service. I was meeting my wife there and she was already seated with our bowls all ready to go sitting on the table. We went ahead and got our bowl fixed and got in line. Our server Jenny C. came right to the line where we were waiting and took our drink order. It was waiting for us when we got back with our food. She was right there when we needed her with her smiling face and friendly service. It really made our day.
(4)Dan T.
I've tried to go here twice and the wait time exceeded my limit both times. It's a pretty small place, and I should have expected this with a party of five at dinner time. However, my wife and I hit them at lunch a few days ago without the kids and found out what the wait(s) were all about. Good selection, reasonably priced, and nice staff. No complaints.
(4)Janine J.
I know a lot of people say this but this is actually my first review. We have been looking so forward to trying this because we live in Veneta and this was a good location. But I agree with everyone it was kind of a weird experience it did seem like the whole atmosphere was kind of dingy and a little dirty. Obviously depending on what you picked it could have been super healthy etc. But it just seemed like everyone was standing in line with food falling out of their bowls and there was no shame in shoving as much as you could into your bowl... It just felt like you were in line at an all you can eat cafeteria and the goal was to try and pack in as much food as you could physically do and the goal was to get your money's worth by going back and back over and over again. When I go to a restaurant I actually try and enjoy the food and my goal isn't to see how much food I can shove into my gullet at one sitting so I didn't get it, obviously. But it would have been awesome because the food choices were there and you could obviously eat as healthy as you want depending on what you chose so that part was really good and the food wasn't bad either but I agree with the other reviews with the amount of people going through there was food everywhere including the floor and there were lines of people either in line with the food portion and then waiting in another line for it to be cooked so at any given time 75% of the people were in lines and it was not well managed...it didn't matter where you sat you were always surrounded by people in line. And so the dining experience if you can call it that over shadowed the good points. I just wanted to do a healthier take out and just one human sized portion but it took an hour for the whole process. And maybe I was in the wrong place for that because it seemed like everyone else was trying to use that hour to eat as much as they possibly could in one long sitting...

Best mongolian grill I've ever had. Good selection of proteins, veggies, and sauces. Attentive and friendly staff. If they only had beer on tap this place would be perfect! (I'll still keep them at 5 stars though because they offer a decent selection of bottled beer).

My first time at Jung's. I am not a huge fan of working for my meals at a restaurant. I can cook at home in less time and effort that this place took. I don't see the logic of me putting all the ingredients and sauces together and all the chef does it is throw it on a hot plate. (Maybe I should open one in my house :-)). The food tasted good (of course it did, I picked out all the ingredients and the seasoning and I am a good cook). Maybe people are enthralled by the gimmicks or they don't like cooking at home, but I am not impressed with the long lines and all the work. I also did not care for the long lines milling around our booth so we could not get out. Even though it is all you can eat, I cannot imagine standing in line for another 30 minutes to get seconds.

Going to a laundromat to watch the dryer spin is similar to watching food cooked on a big grill. Like all "Mongolian" grills or barbecue restaurants, mixed vegetables and thin slices of beef, poultry or lamb, or seafood is stir-fried on a huge slab of iron griddle. It's really a hot version of a salad bar. It can be as lean or as hearty as you wish based on your own creation. It can bland or savory based on the combination of sauces and spices you put in. It's really not at all difficult. And if you happen to be inept and an absolute idiot about making a delicious concoction, then follow the sauce guidelines on the hanging sign over the liquid cart. Inexpensive? Sure. But stir-fry is supposed to be cheap. Duh! And you make the combination yourself. It can be enjoyable making one's own combination in a bowl (though I think the bowls here are puny), but that's already something I can do at home. But for socializing with friends, having already prepped ingredients and having someone else do the clean up duty, it is a good value.

This is the best Mongolian grill in Eugene. I have tried the others in Eugene and local area and no one compares. They have a very good selection of items to choose from. The staff is very friendly. Lunch is a great deal, and dinner is very reasonable. If you want Mongolian, this is the best choice in Eugene.

Pack a bowl then eat. Repeat until full.

We go at least once a month. If you don't like what you're eating, then you only have yourself to blame. Learn how to use the condiments, and you'll have a great meal everytime.

The location in West Eugene is inconvenient for me, but this place is good enough to make the drive across town worthwhile. It's the usual "mongolian" grill setup where you fill a bowl from an assortment of meats and vegetables, throw in some noodles if you like, and add your choice of sauces, then hand it to the cook who fries it up on a giant griddle. They have a good assortment of ingredients to choose from, and it's all reasonably fresh. It's all-you-can-eat, so you can come back for a second or third bowl, but I find one full bowl to be a very generous meal.

The family and I have enjoyed Jung's for years! Good food every time and it's fun to watch the chef's at work. Kids pricing for 10 and under (smaller bowl, one time through).

I have been going to Jung's for years. I have loved the place, Kenny did an incredible job cooking and the place was clean. The old manager who got her nursing degree was the manager. She moved on after her degree and the place started going downhill. Small things at first, no almonds, turnover of staff, not as clean bathrooms, not as good service but still good food. The last few times have not been good, poorer service, not as clean. Tonight was a new low, poor service, people packing their meat into the bowls with their hands and then touching the public utensils with the hands that just touched the raw meat, dirty floors and poor service. The Hoisin sauce was not there, asked for some and never got it. The clinker is that when I mentioned this, the manager came down on me. Everything I said was with the upmost respect. Well, not again.

Jung's mongolian grill is one of those placed I tried once, and decided not to go to again. At the time I would have given them two stars, because my food seemed overcooked (too much of a burnt taste) and no matter what you put in, it came out tasting the same. However, I recently tried Jung's again, and it moved up to a good 3, maybe three and a half! The main difference was that the food was cooked properly this time (they were less busy) and, here's the key: I REFUSED that lthin teriyaki stuff they pour over everything. By not getting that sauce, you can successfully create your own flavor profile using the sauces at the goodie bar. If you're not familiar with Mongolian Grills, here's the deal: You get a bowl which you load with all the vegetables (typical asian stir fry veggies) and meat (pork, beef and chicken, thinly sliced and frozen) or tofu. Then you add your sauce, which can include coconut water, spicy sauce, peanut sauce, etc. After this, you hand over your bowl to the 'chef' who throws it all on a huge grill. At this point they ask you whether you want their sauce. I suggest refusing, so you don't waste the flavor you so delicately created with your own sauce additions. Once your meat is cooked you add a few more things like a sprinkling of nuts. Rinse and repeat. (it's all you can eat) I have to say though, the best part about Jung's is watching the 'pros' stack their bowl. We watched a group of four guys stack their bowls about three times as high as the bowl was deep. A true 'feat of strength'! The secret seems to be standing up the rigid frozen meat to create a wall around the outside of the bowl, and then piling everything up inside of it. This would be a great trick for their 'to-go special which allows you to fill the bowl once and just take that home. Oddly enough, our mongolian champs were eating in the restaurant and went back for seconds, so maybe they just like to stack their bowls for fun. I guess some men like to compare and see who's got "the biggest one".

This is the place for Mongolian grill in Eugene. Watching the cooks is fun and the options make done great meals.

Went there on a Groupon. Great food and even better service. Very busy and a line at the grill. June 2013 update: Have returned many times and had forgotten about this review. Great, friendly service. Wouldn't have been here the first time without a Groupon.

This place always has great smells coming from it when you are shopping across the street at Walmart. One would assume, because of the hype, that this place is amazing. Well, I'm here to tell you it's just like eating at a mcdonalds on Fremont street in Las Vegas. It's affordable sub par food. The place on the inside looks like a dive. The mismatch dishes add even more of the bargain food feel. I usually try not to eat at places like this that sketch me out, but it wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. Nope. Never mind. It was tragically bad. The one good thing about the experience was we had really nice servers. A germaphobe like me should never visit a place like this. They served me water in an already sweaty glass and when I asked for a straw, it came promptly but it wasn't wrapped in paper it was between her fingers and was already wet in one side. I gave this place three stars cuz my husband has two bowls. I will not be revisiting this place and I'm just praying not to have a tummy ache after my dining experience.

Nothing groundbreaking here, but this place makes for a pretty entertaining Saturday night when you're 9 months preggo on your due date with no baby in sight and you have nothing better to do than watch folks pile bowls of food sky high to have it overcooked on a massive grill. Granted, I was one of those people I originally mocked. There are tons of veggies to choose from, and nice protein options, and once you try a little of this and a little of that, you look like you're cooking for the apocalypse. The sauces really leave something to be desired. I dumped on about twice the recommended amounts and never really tasted much curry or peanut sauce. Go with the chopped cilantro and at least you'll have some nuance. Another reviewer was right on when she suggested that you avoid the terryaki at the grill. The cook burned some of my first bowl's contents and the veggies were overdone, but the burned bits were actually tasty. The second bowl was better cooked and pretty darn good.

Kind of like buffet about chow mein. Only about $8. $10 for dinner, add lamb and sea food as a meat choice for dinner.
(4)Darin L.
This place it awesome! I love Mongolian BBQ and Jungs only reinforces that love. The service is great, the food amazing including good quality fresh ingredients and the staff very helpful and pleasant. I will be adding this to my list of places to frequent when I'm in Eugene.

I ended up at this place with my family. It wasn't my first choice or my first time at one of these theme restaurants, but I thought I was going to be okay. We got there right when it opened, which turned out to be a blessing. My first bowl was just veggies and a few shrimp. The guys manning the cook station over cooked everything they placed on the griddle, burning parts of the food and cooking off all the liquid included with the raw ingredients. For moisture restoration, one is left with only three choices: hot oil, Chinese mustard, or hoisin sauce. I wasn't in to any of these, so I ate my food dry. :( Now for the disgusting stuff. As I prepared my second bowl of shrimp, I noticed how much food people were trying to fit into their bowls and how much stuff would inevitably drop off into the raw ingredient bar. That was bad enough, but what I saw next was the kicker. Stuff was piled so high in other people's bowls that they had to literally smash their food down into their bowls with their hands to fit more on top. It didn't matter that the raw pork, chicken, beef or shrimp were on the top. It was as if they hadn't eaten in days. Then, after pushing their food down with their hands, these starving diners would reach for other tongs and try to put more food on top of their bowls, usually placing the noodles last. That meant that raw meat was being transferred to all the tongs and that made me sick. I was happy I had gotten there early and been first through the line. I had to wash my hands and get out of there. My advice: be careful at this place. There is no safe food handling here because all the food is in the hands of the ravenous crowd.

Jungs is a good place if you have a hungry family and time to wait in the long queue to have your food sauteed! Finding a time when it isnt so crowded is important if you want to spend more time eating than waiting. Both times I went some of our party went outside to do something else while the ones wanting seconds had to wait in line again.
(4)Kate P.
Believe it or not, this was my first time to a Mongolian-style restaurant. I loved it! It's clean, good service, and the food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go again!

We were with a group of eleven and they actually got us a spot where we all could sit which I thought was pretty awesome. We had to wait a little bit but it was totally worth it. We all did the all you can eat buffet and it was great and everyone enjoyed there meal. From the start I was worried about this place because I am super allergic to peanuts and they had both peanut oil and peanuts in the curry. I told a waitress about my concerns and she assured me that if I told the cook, or grill master or whatever they are called haha, that they would take care of me. Well they just finished cleaning the grill and when I told them I have a peanut allergy they didn't act irritated at all and were more than happy to accommodate. I didn't have a reaction at all which made me very happy. There prices are great too! I will defiantly be back. Great cooks, food, waitresses, and prices plus an all you can eat buffet. What's not to like?!

I came here with a few friends on a hot date night! On friday is is all you can eat night. I'm not a big fan of all you can eat, but the food here is fun, interesting, and good. Basically you get a bowl and fill it up with noodles. Then you add a bunch of side things to it. I like scallions, cilantro, basil, ginger, and a bunch of other veggies. Then you add whatever meat you like, such as: lamb, beef, pork, chicken, salmon, and fresh shrimp. Then you move on to the next station and you make your own sauce, you do this by adding garlic water, chili oil, jung's secret sauce, hot sauce, and on and on you just have a selection of 15 sauces. There is a sign that gives you some directions as far as spiciness and flavor, but I have more fun making my own sauces. Afterward you hand the bowl to the guy manning the giant skillet. He cooks it on there for a few minutes, add some teriyaki sauce and your ready to roll and eat. This place gets 4 stars for the fun making your own dish, great veggies, and fun sauce. The whole experience is a good time. Makes a fun date night.

I'd been to Jung's several times for lunch in the past so decided it was time for a family dinner visit. It's fun, sort of, to make your own stir fry combo, and less fun to stand in line waiting your turn to have your food cooked, then stand some more while they cook it. It's also not so fun if you pick the wrong sauces and don't like what you made. My advice: Say "yes" when they ask if you want teriyaki. It masks many sins. If you opt for rice but don't like the puny portions, just ask for more. It is all you can eat for lunch and dinner. You can also ask for mu shu wrappers. You cannot take home ANY leftovers (according to huge type on the menu). The seafood is sad. Fake krab and baby shrimp are meant for salads and not for cooking. The salmon tidbits are OK, but it's really the meats that work best, or just go veggie. For kids meals/pricing, the age cutoff is 10 years, so tweens pay the $10 adult price even if they can only eat a small amount. Ouch! Same for adults: If you have a huge appetite or can eat till you're almost sick, you'll get your money's worth. But if you have a normal or small appetite, $10 is steep for one serving of what is mostly noodles, some veggies, and a few ounces of meat. I would rate Jung's four stars if I thought it were a good value, but for us, it is overpriced. I wish they offered a less-expensive "one time through" dinner option. The service here is fine but there's no management presence so waiters are not overly attentive and you might hear them discussing tips or other such things that wouldn't happen if a manager were around. But overall the staff is nice and they do a decent job.

What can I say, I love this place. I work near by and it's always a good choice for lunch. Plus it's always warm on a cold day, what more can you ask for honestly? So here's the trick. Get your meats, maybe some tofu, and add your sauces to that. then stack on your veggies and last but not least the noodles. This lets the meat marinate in the bottom a little. And the magic recipe? 3-4 scoops curry, 1 garlic, 1 ginger water, 3-4 jung's spicy. Try it, it's awesome.

Great place to eat good, fresh and make it yourself food!
(5)Rachel S.
This place is hilarious. It opens at 11:30 for lunch, where everyone jockeys for the line and begins their individual bowl-loading strategy. There are those who pick up a bowl and race immediately for the slices of barely-frozen, thin slices of meat, packing their bowl high with meat and then mashing it all down with their bare hands to make more fit in. Top with a variety of sauces to get it all marinatin'. Top with vegetables, and maybe with the noodles. Race to the line to get your bowl on the grill, and stay with your friends to make sure that your entrees all come out at once. Me: the tofu goes in the bottom of the bowl followed by the sauces that don't do an ounce of marinating, followed by pineapple, the vegetables, and topped with a healthy dose of noodles. If you're not noodle-inclined, you can order rice on the side, but the waitstaff is strangely stingy with it. They'll only provide a little over a cup of cooked rice for two people. The chefs who run the grill are really quite good; the food is always hot, they don't mix too much of the neighboring food on the grill, and it's well cooked. If you want to do takeout, you can prepare one bowl. They don't allow you to take home any leftovers.

Typical Mongolian-grill place. Food was good but the "Gluttony-Fest" was most entertaining: People piling /heaping tons of uncooked meat/veggies into their bowls to get cooked. Wow! Folks, it is ALL YOU CAN EAT, you will just have to get off your duff and go back through. Place was clean and the garlic smell outside will pull you in.
(3)Steve S.
Quick service. Was seated right away. The waitress's were very helpful making sure we had everything we needed. Large enough bowl to pile up the "stuff" to have cooked. Everything was great. Will eat here again.

Far & away the best Mongolian restaurant in Lane County. Always a vast array of sauces and ingredients and a very friendly staff. All at a reasonable price.
(5)Katrina P.
Not very many options on the meat side, I was looking for shrimp or fish but all they had was pork and chicken. I like the make your own bowl idea!!

We enjoy every visit, love making my own food, and watching the cooks to the master flipping! The staff has always been amazing!
(5)Jeff P.
One of the best casual meals around. Variety is up to you. You are in control of the amount of food, the foods cooked, the sauces added. Meat or no meat it is truly your choice.
(5)Xiaochen Z.
We came here for a triple date. everybody was interested in the way they cooked. the food tasted good, especially you can have a lot of lamb. i didn't give the 5 stars because it tasted same no matter what you had in your plate and what sauces you added before cooking. It was good to add some noodles with your meat and veggies, but don't add too much, otherwise you will feel full very quickly.
