We just returned from the Kowloon restaurant here in Eugene. We had lunch there we had not before even though the place has been here in this city forever it seems.
Well I suppose if I were grading on a one to ten scale I would give Kowloon a 6.
The service was good though our server forget we had ordered drinks as we had to ask for them when the food came. But we were given big smiles and prompt polite service.
As far as the food is concerned, it compares with other typical Chinese food in the city, nothing special or noteworthy.
I ordered a combination lunch of fried rice and chicken chow mien. The fried rice had good flavors and was respectable the chow mien was just OK. I like the fact the veggies were hand sliced though they were rather large thick pieces. The mushrooms in the dish were dark and past their freshness. Besides I do not particularly care for mushrooms in Chinese food. The chicken was tender and tasty. The noodles were good and of course as at any Chinese restaurant there was an abundance of food.
We ordered a little side of BBQ pork. There was a lot for the small price but it was stringy and rather tough and there again the pieces were cut big and thick.
Hubby had Mongolian beef. He liked it fine but he was not humming.
So I must say there were no major mistakes but nothing memorable either.
The atmosphere is so so. A fifties, flat ceiling affair but clean and open.
So will we go back? Probably not as there are to many other places to try.
However their bar called "The City" could be fun with friends if you were so inclined to play a game of pool and have a brew.
