Evergreen Food Factory — Restaurant in Longview

I recently moved to the area and have been looking for great eateries, and this is one of them!

There are so many selections on their menu that I knew I'd have to just try a few this time and come back for more.

This time I tried the Bao Buns and a few items on their sushi menu. Everything I tried was DELICIOUS! The Bao Buns were wonderful with a tasty kimchi, as were the rolls. Out of the three rolls I tried, I like the deep fried Bulgogi roll the best—but all were very good.

I can't wait to go again! (UPDATE: I've probably been back 3 times and ordered delivery 5 other times from Evergreen—everything I've tried on their menu has been DELICIOUS!!!)

Couple of non-food notes: The location was totally unexpected so I actually passed it the first time and had to turn around. But once I found it, I walked in and was transported. They had some classic music playing (I think I even heard a Doris Day song) and it was clean and inviting. I didn't sit on the porch outside, but I peeked out and it looked great too.

Lastly, the staff were SUPER helpful and friendly. I sat down at my table and in no time my food arrived. I ordered way too much food and noticed they had some to-go containers, then one of the staff noticed me juggling the boxes as I left and offered a bag. I really appreciated the fact that even though the staff were busy preparing the food in the back, they still kept an eye on their customers to offer any help and check in to see if I was enjoying my meal.

Great place. Friendly staff. Excellent service....

Once again, Longview punches up. This city has had issues embracing anything other than the sacred three; Mexican, American, and BBQ. Hopeful for a fresh option in a very tasty, if not repetitive culinary environment, I had high hopes that this would be as tasty as the reviews have tried to lead me to believe. Short answer, it was. Just go.

Longer answer, the apparent dedication to the food prepared quickly and freshly is apparent in the open kitchen and the videos of the food being prepared playing on repeat. A trend is growing of “open kitchens” wherein patrons can see where the food is being made. This transparency communicates a sense of trust in the safety of the preparation and Evergreen delivers here. The atmosphere is pleasant even if a little haphazard, but you can tell that the owners made an effort to spruce up the interior & it’s appreciated.

The food is great. The sushi was just as good if not better than anywhere in Longview, the beef bulgogi was conspicuously beefy and tender. The bao were soft and fluffy. The crab rangoons were dimensional and didn’t just taste of “fried food” while also not tasting “fishy,” as some more “artisan” crab rangoons can. The Mango tea was delicious if a little sweet for my taste, but that’s okay because as far as I’m concerned, I can just dilute it with water and get more bang for my buck.

I’m glad Longview has this as a new option. We desperately needed variety and not only does this bring it, it does it just as well as any metropolitan city would when it...

First timer: I tried the sushi California roll with a side of eel sauce/spicy mayo; they have the BEST sushi!!! It was so tasty, the price is good, and they have MANY rolls to try.THEY HAVE THE BEST SUSHI I'VE EVER HAD. While waiting, several customers left with SUSHI complimenting their orders. I will return SOON to try their dishes. This place is a gem. The atmosphere is truly warm and inviting;the cashier was helpful and friendlyIf you haven't visited this place TRY IT! There are MANY choices.THE RESTAURANT IS CLEAN!

UPDATE: Returned 9/29/2022 Today I bought lunch specials for my husband and I. We had a spicy crab roll, beef bulgogi with white rice, stir-fried fish steaks and broccoli for sides, chicken bulgogi with white rice, kimchi and radish & jalapeño pickles, and a Taro drink. This was our first time trying Korean foods and all I will say is WOW!!! The food is fantastic, friendly environment, helpful to first timers, and clean. I love the feel of the restaurant overall. We definitely will return to dine in. The sushi is so good.😋😋😋 (fyi: they sell out of their favorites early and fast so keep that in mind). This place is truly a gem, and you'll not be disappointed. Evergreenfoodfactory you have a long time customer here. Keep up the amazing work and keep satisfying...
