Far Man Restaurant Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    There are some places where you have to question yourself as to "WHY do people even come here?" Or the always typical, "How does this place exist?" With filthy cheap prices and non-threatening (safe American Chinese) Chinese cuisine plus the words "all you can eat" you've got a winner. Located in the confines of the Gateway mall area and specifically along the I-5 entrance where its slowly becoming a Chinese buffet district, Far Man is disgusting when it comes to a real Chinese eatery. Lets not forget the items along the buffet cart, which vary from deep fried entree to "fried rice" with some carrots and peas in it. Service is nice as the place is more spacious than what some people might perceive from the outside. Stay FAR away from this establishment if you care about Chinese food, try diving in if you're broke, starving, and can generically prepared food.

    The Far Man had a good variety of food but I didn't like the quality of the food at all, I think that is a great place to try and get rid of a hangover!!!! The price of a meal is nice and cheep!

    I like this place. They have a "Special Dinner" for 6.95 that is good value for the money. Its just fried or white rice, deep-fried something and a cookie... but when I want chinese food, this is exactly what I'm probably going to order anyways. The building smells like smoke, because of the bar. Its in Springfield, so they're still allowed to smoke inside the building. That is by far the biggest negative. Overall, its not -that- bad but its nothing awesome.

    This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, period. I've eaten at several other restaurants in Eugene, plus a few in Stockton, CA and the Chicago suburbs. Still, this is the best of all of them. The place looks iffy from the outside, and there's a bar with a bunch of regulars who probably live there, but the food is fantastic. You get huge portions if you order off the menu, and even more if you decide to go for the buffet instead. I visited this restaurant with a guy who has a HUGE appetite, and he even thought the portions were big. The employees are friendly and attentive. My favorites: pork fried rice, kung pao chicken, and egg flower soup.

    Most Chinese eateries in Eugene fall under the category "Crappy American Chinese Food." This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though the term encompasses both the truly terrible (Lok Yaun) and the reasonably tasty (House of Chen). Far Man, however, in Springfield, LOOKS like a Crappy Chinese restaurant, and has all the atmosphere of an, oh, I don't know--high school locker room with a full bar. The food, however, is surprisingly good (or was the last time I was there). The menu contains no surprises; it's the usual list of Americanized favorites, but the food itself is somehow fresher, tastier, than most Eugene Chinese dives. Not a destination, but if you're out Gateway Way, give it a try.

    Not the greatest Chinese food, and I've only tried a few things. I've heard both good and bad from a number of people, so it seems to be a love/hate place from that, and the other reviews here. Sweet & Sour chicken, pretty good, nice white meat chicken pieces, batter fried. The sweet & sour sauce is really good, they add lemon and ginger and it gives it a little flavor boost. It is garishly red and really thick, but somehow it works. Chicken chow mein (chinese noodles), honestly the best chow mein I've ever eaten. It's really delicious. A bit greasy toward the bottom of the carton, but really yummy. Fried shrimp, really good and tastes the same as you would get anywhere else. I'll be back, but I'm still looking for an amazing place. This isn't it. :-)

    Awesome service and yummy soup. Very kid friendly. We came here for the first time and didn't know what to expect. BBQ pork was delicious and the food came out very fast.

    Rude customer service :/ we came in looking for a buffet so when they said they didn't have one we thanked them & as we were leaving they made rude comments about us.. I've never been here so I can't vouch for the food but with all the other options out there I'm not planning on bein back anytime soon.

    Recently visiting this local establishment in Springfield's Gateway area with a friend and some family members, I had ordered a dinner salad only to noticed that the salad itself was "Shredded" as if it were ready for tacos, rather than a traditional dinner salad before the main course of dinner. For dinner, I decided to try their Almond Breaded Chicken, comparing Far Man's versus the almond breaded chicken of West Eugene's Lok Yaun Restaurant, ironically, if I had to really choose between the two besides the salad, Lok Yaun's dinner salad beats out Far Man's in this comparison between the two Eugene-Springfield chinese establishments in the metro area. Causal and friendly, Far Man's customer service was actually pretty good, compared to those whom have reviewed this restaurant in the past via Yelp. Far Man's also gained some merit points as well with their crab puffs that we ordered as an appetizer while waiting for others to join us for dinner from out of state. Boldly, where no man has eaten before in the stargate of galaxies, the merit points for the comparison between appetizers has actually got to go to Lok Yaun in West Eugene, customer service was probably a little more in-depth and upfront and personal than that of Far Man's. Overall it was a good dining experience has I had only been there one other time I can remember in all the years I've lived in the Eugene and Springfield area. As for the egg flour soup between the two Eugene eatery's - they both ranked about the same in merit points on a scale between 1 to 5, they could have scored some better points if their salad was cut to traditional lettuce rather than shredded as if their they were serving taco's instead.

    Not good at all. Very old interior and very Americanized Chinese food. Felt like they were just smoking in this place yesterday.

    Service was VERY good, food came out lightning quick! Most of it was pretty good, we got the mar far chicken, bbq pork and egg rolls, food was pretty good was not a big fan of the mar far chicken, a few of the pieces were overcooked are hard to eat. It came out so fast I do not understand how it was overcooked? was it made to order? I could not tell you... so far for springfield it was much better than spring garden seafood. I do like Lak Yun on west 11th, but too far to drive...

    *SIGH* FarMan.. We've been coming to FarMan for over 30 years. Sadly, it's the end of an era. This evening my husband and I went to FarMan to have what we hoped would be a hearty Americanized version of Chinese food. We both ordered the Combination #3 which includes egg flower soup, chow mein, rice and mar far chicken. First we were served the soup that had the most unnaturally yellow color, and really weird slick texture. And I'm still wondering what the bits of mystery meat were from. And don't get me started on the slimy glops of egg.. Next came the main course. The same mystery meat permeated the chow mein, and it too had an off taste and texture. I had subgum chow mein, and the vegetables were coated with a shiny, slimy sauce that even copious shakes of soy sauce couldn't improve the flavor or taste. The rice was mushy, overcooked and completely devoid of flavor. Now I should have been suspicious about the mar far chicken just by the hot mustard I squeezed into my sweet and sour sauce. IT MOUNDED UP like a pile of dog poo. I forged on though and bit into the hardest coating which was only masking the texture of the chicken inside, which was reminiscent of beef jerky; stringy and chewy, and nearly impossible to swallow. At least I know what THAT meat was: recycled chicken from 30 years ago.

    I had the worst experience in a restaurant that I have ever had at Far Man tonight. Their page says kid friendly but they don't have a changing table in the restroom. I also don't think that drunk people should be falling out of the bar in a kid friendly restaurant. I am not sure if the bartender was blind or what but there is no way that this woman should have been served any alcohol at all. Now to the food. My friend and I ordered special A which came with sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, chicken vegetable dish, and pineapple chicken. Our meal also came with the yellowest egg flour soup I have ever seen. It had some disgusting excuse for meat floating in the soup and I couldn't finish it. We got our food and were told that they had ran out of the pineapple sauce. The waitres walked away without even asking if we would like a different kind of sauce since the meal we were paying for included sauce. After a long and unprofessional ordeal on her part we recieved some orange sauce for no additional charge. The orange sauce didn't help to disguise the disgusting deep fried chunks of mystery meat. We left most of the food on our table and also walked out feeling sick. I would never go back and I advise others to stay away.

    Ew. The pot stickers were obviously from a discount store, freezer burnt, and then over fried. The pad thai had a total of five shrimp on it. The crab cream cheese puffs had imitation crab and very little cream cheese and was extremely dry. The grilled ham and cheese was literally thrown together, and the fries were soggy and undercooked.

    This place is OK. I honestly have only tried their combination plates which all have the same stuff but added one thing or taken away. I wish they would fix their breading on the mar far chicken..its just too crunchy and fried and its hard to enjoy. I feed my family of 5 for around 35 bucks with tons of leftovers. Their orange chicken to go is yuck to me its plain chicken and u get a side of extremely orange infused sauce. I won't be eating Here anymore simply because tonight I found several and I mean several little hairs in my food. Barf.

    I came here recently for the first time in a long time (I know it was sometime before the old owner got busted). Yes, they have remodeled the place, but the absence of stale cigarette smoke smell/the old school racing arcade game made the experience a little less nostalgic. Oh well. I got one of the combo plates. It had approximately the same dishes that I'd order from Kowloons for about $3 cheaper (Mar Far Chicken, Rice, Chicken Sub Gum something or other), and it was just as good in my opinion. Actually, the food tasted better than I remembered. Maybe something changed? I have no idea. This place also apparently has good egg foo young (as my vegetarian mother has told me). I still wonder if they ever use that little section of the dining room that's upstairs... I've always wanted to sit there. Why did they even bother putting stairs there if they never use it? One of the mysteries of our mysterious world, I suppose. All in all, I think I may replace Kowloons with this place as my "Chinese place of choice".

    Don't do it unless you want a lot of fatty fried food for less than $5 that will last you three meals. The place looks promising as a true Chinese place from the outside but inside, it is dingy, weird smelling, and there was no Chinese person in sight, noone working there was Chinese! The lunch was exceptionally cheapcheapcheap because of the HUGE portions and came with egg foo young soup but the fried shrimp, "far man" chicken, and sweet and sour pork were battered to oblivion, and their BBQ pork had no flavor. We now refer to this place with the nickname "Fat Man". On a nicer note, the waiter was super nice!

    I had Pony Express deliver several items for dinner. The food seemed ok and tasted fine but within hours I was vomiting, diarrhea, sweats, chills. Be careful with their food, doubtful it was Pony Express as the food came very hot so contamination was probably at the restaurant. I contacted the Health Dept. they believe it was either food poisoning or Norovirus, possibly from a restaurant worker.

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.
