“BEST SUSHI IN EUGENE

Sushi in any place unless its all you can eat is expensive so who cares about the price.

I say that this places sushi is absolutely amazing. The eel is fresh, the salmon is delicious and the service is spectacular.

I come here anytime I have something big to celebrate and drop a 100$ because its worth it to take bites of heaven such as these.

I used to live in Hawaii where sushi chefs cooked fresh caught fish. This place matched that quality.

Price approved, service approved, taste approved.

Go here and ball out. You wont regret it.

Linemen Review 10/10

Recommendation - SUPER DRAGON ROLL“

“Holy mother goddess, this place is special!
We ordered some of everything that was dairy-free and meat-free.
The fish was delicious!
All of the vegetable dishes were outstanding, especially the pickled bean sprouts and the fluffy miso mushroom tacos.
We have a new favorite restaurant, for certain.“

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

“Way better atmosphere, sushi and selection than that other place around the corner in the house with the snotty service and pretentious menu. Quality of sashimi was on par with my go-to's in San Diego, LA, PDX and Seattle. I usually only eat at places once if I'm going to be in town for a week so I can cover as much ground as possible, but it was so good here I had to come back a second time.

Thanks, Sushi PURE!“

“Do you like quality sushi, polite staff, and a good atmosphere? Then Sushi station is for you. I went on 03/21/26 and the food was excellent. The miso soup had an abundance of flavor and the three rolls (Salmon Avocado, Monster, and Spicy Rainbow) tasted just as good as they looked. Even the soy sauce containers were beautifully decorated. The music was just a bit loud at first, but after 5 minutes I completely forgot about it. The staff was courteous and very friendly. The only thing I regretted while walking back to my car in the spacious parking lot to left of the restaurant was that I didn't leave a tip. If my experience next time is anything like this one, I will be leaving a very generous tip. Thank you to all of the Sushi chefs and waiting staff for exceeding my expectations!“

“I wanted to try something new so I decided to go to this food truck. I ordered the Karaage Don which was a bit pricy at $18, so my expectations were high. They did not disappoint. The food was very good and it wasn’t over seasoned or over sauced. I really enjoyed the breading, the slaw, the sauces used, and the side salad was lovely.“

“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“

“If rice could sin, this would be its villain origin story.

I went to Ume Grill Onigiri House and accidentally discovered a ritual. Not a meal. Not a snack. A ceremony. The kind where you loosen your waistband preemptively and whisper, “forgive me” to no one in particular.

Here’s the move, and do not improvise unless you enjoy regret:

2 bacon onigiri (NOT the bacon kimchee… we’re not here to make responsible choices)

2 sweet potato onion

The bacon onigiri are… unsettling. In the best way. They taste like breakfast and bad decisions had a baby and raised it on pure ambition. There’s something almost illegal about how good they are, like if a cop walked in you’d instinctively hide them under your jacket.

The sweet potato onion ones? Gentle. Sweet. Earthy. The emotional support friends who say, “hey, maybe sit down before you eat the other two like a raccoon in a panic.”

And here’s the key: you do NOT eat them there. No. You take them home. You dim the lights. You sit cross-legged like you’re about to summon a spirit, except the spirit is sodium and joy. You pick them up slowly, with a gentle but firm grip as if it might make a run for it. You alternate bites like you’re conducting a symphony of starch.

By the end, you’re not full. You’re transformed. Slightly greasy. Emotionally restructured. Possibly texting someone you shouldn’t.

5/5. Would perform the sacred rite again.“

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

“For me, Sarku may as well be the primary justification for VRC's continued existence. The chicken teriyaki with yakisoba is among the best I've ever had, and they give you a ton, at an extremely reasonable price. I've never liked their rice, as I feel it's quite dry, but the upgrade to yakisoba noodles is only a buck or so and they're perfectly cooked and flavored, so I recommend that. Getting extra chicken is also only a couple bucks, and I often do that as well - it's not that they don't give you enough otherwise, I just like having too much of a good thing. The vegetables they add are also a nice blend and amount. And they'll happily give you additional teriyaki sauce if you ask.“

“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“

“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.“

“So good, came from the west side of Eugene for a Panda!!“

“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“

“Gem. Had the skewer plate with teriyaki and Thai peanut chicken, cooked right, tasty. Also had a bulgogi plate that was really good.

Place was empty but the orders were flowing from online, get out there people!

Would love some char on the skewers.“

“service was good“

“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!“
