Kowloon Restaurant

Kowloon has been a favorite of mine since High School. I have followed them through each location change. You can NOT find ANY Mar Far Chicken like theirs. It is made with huge chunks of white breast meat, juicy, falling apart tender, dipped in a very light amount of batter. Most places, its the opposite, way too much batter, barely any meat & a lot of times its the stringy, greasy, dark meat. The Kowloon Mar Far Chicken you can get in many flavors too, such as, Garlic, Lemon, Orange, just to name 3, as well as adjust the spiciness, to your own preferred degree of "kick". I am 59 now & will continue to have Kowloon, be my go to for Chinese meals, hopefully until I am 100! Try their vegatable fried rice, I ask them to add onions & cabbage but, I ask them to take out the bok choy. They always accommodate every request, with a smile. I love to have my palate, along with my dining experience, genuinely pleased!

Nestled next to Autzen Stadium right on the waterfront, this place is an icon of the city of Eugene. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in this town who isn't familiar with the name Kowloons whether it be frequenting the restaurant, ordering take out, or hanging out at The City which was it's night club.. Until about 6 years ago, when the business was sold to new owner, this was most likely the best chinese food anywhere around. Food was excellent, portions were large, everything was made fresh in house. Since then however, it has gone steadily downhill. Food was mediocre at best, all the sauces and hot mustard came in packets, & portions were small until finally (unfortunately) the new owner ran the business into the ground and Kowloons is now, sadly, closed for good. It will be greatly missed.

I don't understand why this place has a 2.9 rating. This place has a cozy atmosphere and a super friendly waitstaff. the seating is spacious and private. A nice view along the river to enjoy while eating. I ordered the Mandarin Beef with steamed rice and Crab Puffs. The portions on each item I ordered was enough to feed 2 people. From ordering my food and receiving it at the table, less than 10 minutes. I did sit in the restaurant for about 2 hours doing some homework and the gentleman that was serving me was very polite and did not bother me every 5 minutes. the dessert menu is AMAZING! They offer desserts from Sweet Life! I ordered the Peanut butter chocolate cake, and it was amazing! I will come back to this restaurant more often. I would like to try more of their menu. Don't let the ratings fool you, this place has scrumptious food, portions that match the price and a friendly waitstaff. I am giving this place 5 stars. Thank you for the awesome experience and I hope to see more people giving this place a higher rating :)

Kowloons just lost a long time customer. I've never been so disappointed with a meal. We ordered the family style dinner for two. The sweet and sour pork was burnt so bad we couldn't eat it at all. The chow mein noodles were doughy. There was hardly any vegetables or pork in it. Mar far chicken was edible but a little under cooked. Fried rice was good but it's hard to screw up rice. We ordered a 1/2 order of barbecue pork which was quite good but the hot mustard was obviously watered down. The sweet and sour and the duck sauce were watery as well. I realize times are tough during the pandemic but if you charge that much for a meal to take home you'd better make it good. There are a lot of other places to get a Chinese meal in this town.
