I drove past here today and decided to take the wife for dinner. Boy am I glad I did. Great menu with a great selection of Asian dishes. The hot and sour soup was delicious. I had the Kung Pao chicken and just loved it. So many great dishes I will definitely be back to try more.
Took my granddaughter & her boyfriend to try new place! So glad we tried this one - food was delicious, so good! Service was excellent. The portions were huge. We all took home leftover boxes. Next day had mine for breakfast & dinner - so good. I ordered rice stick noodles (my favorite) with pork. The place was very clean - will definitely go again.
Great fresh food. Unlike many Asian food places, they don't drown the food in too much sauce. The special combo soup is perfect when it's raining.
I have family in town who wanted to eat Dim Sum and we found Spice 'n' Steam. The menu was quite large with a lot of variety. We ordered several dishes that were all absolutely delicious! The customer service was amazing and our waitress was extremely attentive. This restaurant has a romantic feel. Low lighting and red lanterns on the ceiling. A great place to go for any occasion or gathering. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back to support this business.
This has been "our spot" ever since we nervously dropped off our son at UO fall 2020. We dined there every time we visited and brought our son and his friends. We especially enjoyed XO noodles, soup dumplings, braised pirk, and tripe! During one of our visits, we noticed that they were building out the back area. My husband spoke with John and asked if we can host our son's graduation party in that area if it's done by then. Fortunately for us, work was completed late last year. So, on June 17, we hosted lunch for 40 people. Things were a bit hectic and we failed to take pictures of the food. Suffice it to say, everyone raved about the food, the service, and the space! Big thanks to John and the staff for being our spot, from beginning to end of our son's UO experience! SCO!
This is my wife and I's favorite Chinese food restaurant In lane county. They have friendly service and a great food selection that isn't your typical Chinese food. I also LOVE the spicy dry rub popcorn chicken it's sooooo good. The vibe here is good it's clean and very modern.
I was looking on Yelp for a place to have lunch in Eugene and Spice N Steam popped up. I had looked for dim sum places there before and finding this was a happy surprise. We got there as it opened. We ordered their hot tea which was a delightful blend of green tea, jasmine, oolong and chrysanthemum!! This is definitely a reorder. We ordered our standard siu mai, har gow, and fried shrimp balls. They were all super delicious!! The siu mai were shrimp and mushroom. I've never had that combo, were a very generous size and amazing. Har gow were, also, delicious. Interestingly, there wasn't a sauce except the soy on the table. They were good and really didn't need one-though, would be nice to have. The fried shrimp balls were decadent. I love the fried wonton crispy on them and inside was succulent shrimp. They had an interesting red dipping sauce. I wasn't a fan but others liked it. I miss the carts being pushed around the dining room and seeing all the delicious options but understand there aren't enough customers for that at one time. The food is excellent and they earned their Best of Eugene award. I would definitely go back and do recommend them. I
TL:DR - A super solid spot for a "smaller" town. Would be a very solid option in any large city. Place was pretty empty for lunch on Sunday, but dim sum does seem available at any time during the week. Shrimp har gow, shu mai, radish cakes, and salt and pepper tofu were all good. The big stand out was the XOXO sauce rice noodles. Perfectly chewy with a great slight crust of xoxo sauce on the outside. Friendly service, slightly below average dim sum prices compared to most cities. ---------------------------------------------------------- I don't get the low rating for this place. Read this is one of the only dim sum spots in town so we decided to give it a shot and were not disappointed. I will say coming from larger cities, walking in on a Sunday for lunch, I was shocked to see this place completely empty. But as far as I can tell, dimsum is not limited to just weekend lunches here. As such, dim sum is just a menu section and not something that is pushed around on carts. We ordered the XOXO Sauce Rice noodles, shrimp har gow (shrimp dumpling), shu mai, radish cakes, and salt and pepper tofu. They were all very solid dishes, nothing you would say "oh, it's good for middle of nowhere." It was legit solid for any city in the US (Chicago, San Fran, etc.) Nothing amazing, but all very very solid. The one dish I was most impressed with was the XOXO Sauce Rice noodles. Super chewy noodles with good flavor, and they stir fried it to perfection where there was the slightest crust of xoxo sauce flavor on the outsides. A great alternative carb that's not rice or even lo mein. Service was on point, friendly and perfect amount of frequency. Prices were about average, if not slightly lower. Most places I expect to pay about $20-$30 a person for dim sum, we did about $50 for two adults and a baby and had some left over for take home. All in all, a super solid spot that Eugene should be very proud of.
