I just had a religious experience at Hong Kong Restaurant that in fact transported me back to Hong Kong. I ordered off the lunch menu and got the garlic chicken which was phenomenal but then I notices that they had my Holy Grail of foods that I have not had made right in years. Xiao Long Bao...... I had already eaten a more than generous portion for lunch and now sit with a dilemma... Do I order it now or come back another time... I ordered it now... Lee asked if I had time to wait for them to be made at which I replied, "I have all the time in the world". Who doesnt have time for perfection. As I sit in anticipation, building up the experience way further than I should have ever done, I could taste these molten bite sized morsels curing all my ailments. The last time I had them was years ago and I could still taste the glory which are soup dumplings. They arrive in a heap of steam as if they had burst through the clouds to greet me at the pearly gates. Ginger and vinegar in tow I couldnt help but giggle like a kindergartner that was punched in the arm by a girl that fancies him. I carefully lift this nugget of pure elation from the vessel with my tiny wooden swords as to present it to a king as an offering. A gentle dip into the pool of unicorn tears of happiness and away we go. The first bite: I slowly clamp down on to the unsuspecting morsel as if to just break the skin playfully and the rush of flavor made a single tear present it self. I chew in awe.. smiling like I am the only one that got the joke at a table full of old friends. I then slowly work my way through all of them with the same delicate touch attempting to replicate the feeling of that first touching of the holy one just minutes before. As I finish a rush of mixed feelings overwhelms me and I sat there with each side of my face telling a different story. My left, in complete emotional overload and my right, longing for this feeling to never end. A piece of me lived today. A part of me had hope for the future of mid day meals. The whole of me relished in a great forgotten leader of Tastebudtopia. Thank you Lee and your new staff, you complete me.

The interior is somewhat dive-ish but the food is all prepared as you order. Making everything super fresh and home made. Highly recommend general tsao and orange chicken and fried rice. The chef is amazing and the people who work here are charming and lovely.

Do not eat here. 1. Bathrooms not clean nor had any toilet paper. 2. Everything was sticky, tables, utensils, tea pot, just gross. 3. Food was awful, won ton undercooked, green bean dish WAY overcooked, and my meal was just nasty. I will NEVER eat here again!

Ive eaten at the Hong Kong several times, and have never been disappointed. The building is a bit of a "slipper", but dont be fooled; the food is quite good!

Best Chinese in Eugene. Both the Kung Po Beef and Chicken Chow Mein are exceptional. Love the Mu shu shrimp also. Oh, and the Pot Stickers are damn good!
