Cafe Lucky Noodle, Eugene, Oregon

Let’s skip to the end on this review: Solid 5 stars from this amateur reviewer 😀

We were down in Eugene to toast our friends Paul and Heather on their recent home purchase. They suggested Cafe Lucky Noodle.

The cafe doesn’t take reservations, and admittedly we showed up about 8:30pm, so we had a bit of a wait. Being a Friday it was quite busy, but it was well worth the wait — and the bartender took good care of us in the lobby while we were waiting. The restaurant is quite cozy with minimal lighting and great music, and we felt comfortable even before we were shown to our table. And once we were seated for dinner, I was treated to possibly the best filet mignon I’ve ever had. It was one of their specials for the evening served with risotto, and it was perfect. Service was attentive for a place that was packed, and for six people to eat, drink, and tip, $300 was a bargain.

I can’t wait to go back!
