23 Best Japanese Restaurants in Eugene

“I love Tokyo Tonkatsu �“

“From Houston where we have exceptional restuarants and a variety of good food. Excited that we chose this spot over another sushi place. The good reviews are legit. It was freah, ate well and clean. I'm a bit of a seafood snob and this is well worth it. I'll check in the morning in case my status changed but doubt it all ate clean. We ordered the soft shell crab, eel roll, Mackarel Nigiri and Premium Ocean Roll. All was delectible! A must have! Update almost a whole week later... SUSHI, HAYWARD FIELD AND KIVE MARKET FOOD WERE THE ONLY THINGS OUR STOMACHS DID WELL WITH. Anything outside of that we were ill.“

“I have been eating here since it opened and even before when Taro was at Mame. Even back then, I was blown away by the quality of the food and the intention with which it is made. Superb. I feel so fortunate that food of this quality is available in Eugene. Eating the nigiri here always makes me super happy and satisfied. It makes any girls’ night or birthday feel extra special. Just found out Sundays and Mondays are easier to get a table here so will be coming back on those days more often.“

“Come visit all the carts here!! Lalito’s, Dozo, Louka’s and Tailg8s.“

“Fresh sushi with a unique rice blend. Good GF menu as well. Staff is pleasant, efficient and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. Limited seating is cozy.
Everything tastes like it's freshly curated and not prepackaged off a Sysco truck.“

“Glad we decided to try it. Just walking by at the last minute the night before a Ducks game. The chefs work pretty hard here, they kept up with a full house. I'm thinking the sous chefs were on the ball. Miso soup a bit salty. Hamachi roll was pleasant, tuna roll ok, beef teriyaki a bit salty. That said I usually don't consume a lot of sodium. Atmosphere was jovial. Most people were eating so it wasn't too loud 😁“

“absolutely delicious. had the Iris roll and fell in love with it. the soybean paper 'chef kiss' also the Ny steak Teriyaki was tasty. great service, will definitely go again“

“Ordered the Poke-Don and was satisfied with it. I was surprised when I had barely sat down, and my order was ready. I'm pretty safe in saying I won't find myself in Eugene again any time soon, but there were a couple of other items on the menu that I would want to try as well.“

“The sake, the clams, the crispy rice, the sushi, and the tempura cheesecake were all amazing.“

“I came here for lunch just now and I can't get over how delicious it was.. the woman behind the counter was friendly, attentive and fast. My onigiri was perfect and the peanut butter chocolate smoothie?? My favorite part lol. It tastes like a gourmet peanut butter cup. It's the best 🥰🥰 thank you!“

“The food was not only beautifully presented, but equally as delicious! The interior gives you a cozy feeling and lovely decorated. I would definitely recommend this gem of a family restaurant. Also, probably the best sushi in town.“

“Seriously. So. Good! I have been wanting to try this cart for a while, the photos always look delicious. Well I can now confirm, it’s even better than in looks. We ordered via Grubhub for delivery. It arrived quickly and the hot items were nice and hot. I really wanted to try a few things so we got the miso soup, the seared salmon sushi balls(YUM!), a salmon sushi donut, the golden shrimp bowl (extra YUM!) and the salmon bowl. Everything was so fresh, the portions were great and everything was so flavorful and delicious. We are stuffed and satisfied and we will definitely be ordering again soon! 10/10“

“Lunch time. We were a couple of hungry men. My nephew ordered Teriyaki Beef. I ordered the Chicken. A good choice, I think. Hot food. Freshly prepared cooks and in our hands. Best prices in this Mall eatery area. Nice flavor. Plenty of food. We were good to go.

“Beat the wait. Date yourself and find friends at the bar. 💙💙“

“Tried sushi burrito for the first time. Did half and half with a friend. Top (California) bottom (#5)“

“My brother and I love coming in on a regular basis. We ride our bikes there and lock them up outside. We have a certain table that gives us a good view of our bikes. Bonus for Eugene. The service is always prompt and genuinely friendly and attentive. My favorite roll is the Black Widow. Its a Spider roll that is a culinary masterpiece...wow its that good. My brother likes the Chicken Bento very very much. See you soon!!“

“Very nice, food and service is fantastic! I have driven past this place for years without considering to eat here! Today I decided to give them a try! I expected a run of the mill restaurant, I was blown away at how nice this place is! Everything from the table to the restroom is very fancy and clean, and the food was just amazing! The outside look of the building is deceptive, the inside is a pleasant surprise! Will be going back often!“

“So good!! Never disappointed each time I’ve been there. I’m always very timid going to a new place, but this place is amazing and I really love how patient and kind they are with my family. Such good food and fair prices. I always come here for sushi.“

“Although the food was pretty good, she declined to accept my $50 gift card stating they are only good for one year, when in fact Oregon law states gift cards have no expiration in Oregon. I would have used it sooner, but I ended up with Cancer and was unable to use it. Also nowhere does it state on the receipt or card there is an expiration. The hostess was so kind and actually said she would ask the owner where the original payment went, she called me moments after leaving and said she was told "they just keep the money" I would not recommend purchasing gift cards from this establishment“

“We had the tuna, sweat potato, and spicy pork onigiri. All of them had amazing flavor and texture. Wish they had the seaweed wrappers to help with them falling apart as you ate. Thai peanut chicken skewer was also delicious. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food. Will for sure be coming back.“

“This is my favorite place in Eugene for sushi! They stay open late, have amazing food, and excellent service! This is the only sushi place I have found that will deep fry any roll for you also! They also have a great sake selection! Highly recommend this place. Ive been coming here for years and its always great! Can't recommend enough!“

“Their rolls are fantastic and the staff is awesome too!!! Definitely will be back!“

“Today was my first time there and I was not disappointed. Friendly people great service and very very good food!“
