Tasty Chong Qing Restaurant

I wish I still ate gluten. Many delicious-​looking wheat-​based dishes went by. Hot pots look beautiful.

This place is a joke. I came and ordered some dishes and by the end of our meal, found out they had automatically added a 15% tip. WTF. Worst part is that the description disclosing the tipping rule was in Chinese! No where was it written in English. I’m Asian but not Chinese. The waiter must had thought I was Chinese and automatically applied the tip. Apparently I asked another white couple that came and discovered that they didn’t charge them a tip. Interesting, might you ponder. Is it illegal that they falsely advertise by not disclosing the tipping policy in English and/​or they charged people differently depending on their race? This business is a scam and their goal is to clearly rip off Chinese or Chinese looking people. I got a copy of their menu and plan to report them. I hope they shut down or get a fine soon… I truly do not recommend this restaurant. If you plan to eat there, go there soon as they may shut down in the near future.

The automatic 15% tip needs to go towards buying the wait staff a personality!

Really great authentic Szechuan cuisine for the most part. My absolute favorite thing here (I could eat them indefinitely) are the garlic green beans. This was also my experience with Mapo Tofu and it has spoiled me as I have never found a place that comes anywhere close in regards to quality. The pros of this restaurant definitely outweigh the cons. I would highly recommend it.

The food was ok, not so good, not too bad. But the service was TERRIBLE!!! actually the worst service and attitude I’ve seen EVER, and the most unpleasant experience in any Chinese restaurants in America. The guy didn’t even ask if we need anything to drink (he was not busy, the restaurant was almost empty at the time), we felt that we were not welcomed by anyone working at the restaurant at all. Will not visit anymore, we don’t deserve to be treated like that.

They will inforce you to add 15% tips on bill without telling you. The worst thing is what you pay is not what you order，our bill should be 34.99（with 15% tip） but it charge us 44！！！

This is a real restaurant that from China. You can taste all of the Chinese foods at here. Guess what I want say! This is the best Chinese restaurant in Eugene!

Super slow service! We sit for 10 minutes and no water serve us! Then after we order another 20 minutes waiting!!!
We just order two noddles! And it take forever!!! Never ever come back!
Soooo bad!

I would have rated 4 stars or even 5stars for this place if their service didn’t make me a little upset. This place can provide authentic Chinese spicy food, perhaps one of the best in this town. However, the waiter seems impatient and lack of enough smile on his face. And he treats his own countrymen well, but not to everyone. This place also charge 15% of service fee automatically, which makes it less affordable.

Best and most authentic Chinese food in Eugene, no argument. Food there is definitely worth the money. The food makes me feel like I’m home in China. And the manager is a nice person.

Very good taste. My favorite Chinese restaurant.
Fast and friendly service. Clean and comfortable environment.

Worst restaurant ever. Rude, inconsiderate staff. Made us wait, even tho’ the place was empty. Our friends ordered a hot pot They served them a boiling mess of inedible dried chili peppers. We had to ask the scowling waiter several times just to get some water at the table.
When the food finally did arrive it was some of the worst food I’ve ever experienced. This was the first and last time we will ever go there.
I feel that one star is too much to rate this place, but, it’s the least I can do.
If you are considering eating at this place, do yourself a favor and go some place else. This place sucks.

What can I say, the meat tastes like rubber, the broth was flavorless, I felt so ripped off after eating my nasty flavorless broth filled with pieces of rubber. I could literally only eat two bites out of the entire soup I ordered. The place that used to be here, café ariring, will be sorely missed.

The soup for the seafood and pork noodles is extremely salty and the portion is not worth it in my opinion. The noodles were decent and the pork was the star of the pork noodle. The seafood was okay, but the soup base for all the noodles are the same unless you get the spicey kind. I also ordered a $ 7 appetizer and there were only 4 wings in total. RIP OFF! All four of those wings were oozing with blood and still slightly raw. I told the waitress and she said she’ll tell the cook and I told her to just cancel it. (We were the only people in the restaurant not eating the hot pot dinner and ordered wings). Then she says «okay“and I look back and see raw chicken still left uncooked on the counter, so they haven’t even started to make the fried chicken. The waitress comes back and lies to my face saying that they’ve just placed the chicken in the deep fryer to cook, but I saw the same dude cooking our dinner chilling in the back, get up and place the chicken a few minutes after I requested to cancel the order. So they basically forced me to pay for something I didn’t want any longer. Overall it was a bad first time experience!

Pleasant staff, I saw hot pot, ate something hot and spicy with lamb soup like thing. I forget the name of it. I’d come back an try more items on the menu.
They have a small parking lot and a noisy restroom. It was clean with nice décor. The restaurant not the can. But the facilities were fine too.

非常不愉快，严重不推荐！平安夜去吃饭，一直不给水，直到我们要求了才给。我们点的夫妻肺片没有了，短发女服务员过来对我们说“夫妻肺片没有了！“态度非常强硬。买单时发现自动加15%小费，可这服务质量真心差！太差了！！！
强烈不推荐！
至于饭菜质量，只能说可以过得起，但是完全不值这个价格。
店员告诉我们不要以西雅图的价格和服务质量来衡量他们，因为没有竞争，这。。。。

Bad attitude waiter and waitress with crazy 15% auto tip. 服务恶劣，且自动记15%小费！If you are a person like a lot of MSG, here is the best. 味精超多极不健康！ I admit the spicy is good here but I will never come again with the service they have. The price is higher than my expectation.性价比极差！
When we came in, there is no water served without asking. The waitress had no emotion and did not remind us there is 15% tip on our bill. With the disappointment checking out, they asked where we came from. We are from Seattle, and they mentioned two restaurants which are more expensive than the peers. We don’t know why they mention that, but the service of the two is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than here. The service here reminds the bad attitude service in my hometown where you don’t need to pay the tip! We also complained the food is expensive to us, they said it is okay to Oregon, which is four people $ 82!

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am that there are not only one, not only 2, but three new Chinese food places here in town that live up to unique and tasty cuisine!
The night I decided to go, the place was packed, liked steamed up windows packed. Our servers were on their game, setting us up with utensils, water and menu’s. Our waitress was watching me as I juggled the menu in one hand and my cell phone in the other. I was going through the Unilocal pictures of this place to decide what we were going to eat. Lol. yeah I’m that girl. So pointing out the pictures on my ever so convenient Unilocal app, the waitress named the dish. We ended up with three dishes, the spicy won’t tons, the dan dan noodles, and the pork belly ramen. OMG. I don’t know if it was the atmosphere, or the fact that I was starving, but the food was on point! The spiciness of the dan dan noodles and the won tons had my head spinning, my tongue was on fire but the burn felt so good! The mellowness of the pork belly really evened things out and I ended up pouring the spicy chili oil from the won tons into the pork belly ramen.
Our servers were incredibly attentive up until the end. Our server asked us how our food was as I mopped my sweating brow with a fistful of napkins, I nodded enthusiastically and slightly embarrassed that I couldn’t quite take the heat.
I can’t wait to go back, I seriously crave the noodles from BCE and Tasty now, like that’s all I want for the rest of the year…

Café Arirang is no more. I don’t anyone who will mourn it too much. Nothing there wasn’t done better elsewhere in town. In its place is something Eugene didn’t have before, a Szechwan restaurant serving small plates that almost qualify as dim sum, as well as full size entrees.
They had only been open a few days when DLW and I visited on a Friday night. Already the word was out, as the place was full, mostly with Chinese customers, including a large party in the back room. The staff was in defense mode, apparently in shell shock as the popularity caught them off guard. We were initially told that the wait would be 40 minutes, but we decided to sit it out since there was only one party ahead of us. They took us within ten minutes.
Another large group near us had ordered hot pot, huge clay cauldrons of soup that serve at least two parked over gas camping stoves. They looked delicious as well as popular, but we wanted to sample from the appetizers. A few items we wanted were sold out, so we ended up with wontons in chili oil, soft tofu also in chili oil, green onion pancake and crispy fried pork ribs. Whoa, the chili oil is real stuff with a touch of ma la, the famous hot and numbing effect of Szechwan peppercorns. The pancake was wonderfully chewy. And how can fried pork be wrong, especially when it’s spiced with garlic and ginger? Honey grapefruit juice was served with lots of pulp but no ice.
The cashier admitted to us as we paid that the staff is running ragged from open to close, and they are even seeing lines outside the door before they open. Maybe things will calm down eventually as TCQ becomes a regular part of the restaurant scene. The service hiccups on our first visit prevented me from giving them five stars, but that could change as well. Now if someone could just convince them to serve soup dumplings.

This place just opened so expect it jamed full of campus students looking for a taste of back home
Szechuan style food. I have had this style of food in the go to places in San Fran and NYC. My food was amazing. Don’t come here if you’re looking for that traditional Oregon style sweet Chinese food, this is authentic Szechuan style food made with chili oil. The Dan Dan noodles I had tasted homemade and they were very good. The spicy dumplings I had also tasted homemade and the sauce they were in was tasty. The scalion pancake is a must get. I can’t wait to come back here to try some other dishes that I have not had at a Szechuan restaurant before.
The parking here can be a little bit tricky due to the small parking lot in the construction going on next door.
