Went here with my husband for the first time last week. Weve been on the hunt for "Our Favorite Chinese Place" for years. I think we finally found it. We started with the soup of the day; egg flower. This was the low point of the meal for me (and made me consider rating it only 4 stars). The soup had a nice thickness/texture to it, but the flavor was off. I couldnt place it exactly. It tasted almost burnt. Perhaps it was a fluke, or perhaps its a more traditional, less Americanized flavor that Im not familiar with. No matter, my husband ate mine after he finished his own. The entrees came quickly after we ordered them, perhaps only 3-4 minutes. Broccoli beef and Ginger Chicken. The vegetables were fresh, colorful and cooked perfectly. I was impressed that more expensive vegetables, such as red bell peppers, were included on the plate. Both the beef and chicken were tender and free of any weird tendons and gristle that you commonly run into elsewhere. I so look forward to returning here and tasting more of what this restaurant has to offer. Wonderful food and friendly service!

Chinese food in the Eugene/Springfield area is generally pretty poor. Ive been out to many restaurants since I moved here, and Im usually disappointed. Fortunately, I found out about Twin Dragons Restaurant. (Its in the same shopping center as Lonches, the best Mexican food in Eugene.) Twin Dragons is a little hole-in-the-wall family restaurant that has been open for an astonishing TWENTY FIVE YEARS. I love everything about this place. The family is very friendly, the service is great, the food is excellent, and its the only restaurant I know where you can watch Chinese soap operas on a big screen TV while you eat dinner. The food really is excellent. Im hooked on the place, and I havent ordered the same thing twice so far. Im going to try everything on the menu first. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable. Theyve been there for 25 years. Enough said. If youre looking for great Chinese food in Eugene, check this place out.

Without a doubt the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. Since visiting, I have been longing to return and enjoy the shrimp fried rice, a classic that I loved, but hadnt known how good it could be until the owner Chris set me up. Came by visiting with a family that is friends with the owner - the restaurant seemed small and very relaxed, nothing too impressive. It makes for a quiet setting to eat with people and take your time, but the real gem is the food. Chris and his family truly know what they are doing at Twin Dragon, which has become my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Now I wished I didnt live so far away... *Edit* Almost forgot - prices are unbeatable among Chinese food restaurants. Dont hesitate to choose TwinDragon. Good price, Unforgettable food. Writing this review three weeks later, craving it just thinking about the shrimp fried...

While you might say that the storefront and location is not fancy, most people can agree that this hole in the wall place is definitely a true authentic gem and it is very apparent in being family owned. In fact the family was sitting at one of the tables having dinner when my mother and I arrived. I got the General TSO Chicken, a house special, and my mother got the Cashew Chicken. The food was fresh, and very tasty. Chicken was not dry on either dish, very tender and flavorful. The service was great and very friendly. When I think Chinese food this place will definitely be on my mind.

My husband and I ate here for the first time today, and I will have to say that this is BY FAR the BEST Chinese restaurant we have been to. The pot stickers were freshly made and amazing, the wonton soup was generous and incredibly on point, and our entrees were spectacular. The waiter was super friendly, humorous, and was on his toes throughout our whole dinner. Our total was right at $43 for pot stickers, soup, 2 entrees, and soda to drink. We literally gave a 35% tip because our service was phenomenal, and we will absolutely be frequenting this place from now on.

My husband, our 5 yr old and myself went to eat here the other night. Its not a large restaurant and its a little rough around the edges but the service was great and food was yummy. My hubby loved the potstickers. The nice thing I liked is they had a few items on the menu for kids basically rice and a meat. Which our 5yr only eats rice and chicken so that was a bonus. I would recommend trying this place out. Also if you have a large group you may want to call in advance for seating. But overall we had a pleasant meal with a quaint atmosphere.

Excellent Chinese food here! A couple of times weve come in to see them chopping veggies and prepping the food for use at dinner. We enjoy dining in and also taking out. The family atmosphere is very pleasant- not at all uncommon to see the owners family, lots of kids sitting around enjoying each others company. Our favs are Mar Far Chicken, Cashew Chicken the the Broccoli Beef (always tender strips of beef too.) Ya gotta try the Special Fried Rice too (shrimp and all sorts of goodness in there.)

My dad has been terribly disappointed that Louies closed. I took him for lunch at Twin Dragon in hopes he would find a new favorite.....he loved it!!! He is very picky about his Pork Chow Mein, but he said Twin Dragons was perfect! My favorite was the Mar Far Chicken.....excellent :-) Any Chinese restaurant I visit, I always try out their Mar Far.....Twin Dragons is delicious and the best Ive had so far!!! Thank you for the fantastic service and wonderful food. We will be back :-)

The best Chinese food in Eugene. They use quality cuts of meat (shocking), their egg rolls are home made and home rolled (delicious), and their prices are insanely reasonable for how HUGE the portions are. The family that runs it has been there for years and it makes the atmosphere very relaxed. Its definitely not the "$40/plate take my girlfriend out to some really fancy restaurant" kinda place, its more like "I could eat here every day".

Id been searching high and low for a Chinese restaurant that could remind me of home and I was just beginning to think that Oregonians had a VERY strange idea of what Chinese food tastes like (Im looking at you "Mar Far chicken"). Then I found Twin Dragon. Score! And they now take payment via Google Wallet; a business in Eugene with a 2015 point-of-sale! My only criticism: to-go portions of rice are too small. Use the large container!

I loved coming here. It was a smaller dining room, in a small strip mall. outside of the amount of room there was, it was a great experience. The wait staff were very nice, he explained what was in the dishes without making you feel like a moron. The food had a really good taste to it, highly suggest the sweet and sour chicken. All in all I like it and will be coming back.

We tried this restaurant for the first time last night. I ordered a combination dinner of mar far chicken, pork-fried rice, and egg foo young for only $6.95. The serving-size was generous. The food came in under 5 minutes. Our waters were topped off promptly. This place is the best Chinese Food restaurant in town. Maybe its the best restaurant in town. Give it a chance.
