Absolutely love this restaurant! As a student on a budget, finding delicious yet affordable meals is crucial, and this place delivers on both fronts. The gimbap rolls are packed with flavor and freshness, making each bite a delightful experience. Plus, the prices are incredibly student-friendly, allowing me to enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Whether I'm grabbing a quick bite between classes or treating myself to a tasty lunch, this place never disappoints. Definitely a five-star gem for any student looking for delicious and budget-friendly eats!Food was too good. Forgot to take pictures beforehand.

I tried this place for the first time last night with my boyfriend, on a rainy night! Thankfully it has coverage and a few tables and benches for seating. I really enjoy onigiri and so we just ordered 2 onigiri to try: bbq pork and kimchi bacon. It was only $7 for both, so it wasn't bad at all. I will say, the concept of grilling the onigiri is definitely new for me as I am used to eating riceballs in that form, so this was out of the ordinary. Luckily my boyfriend asked for forks when we got our food, because if we didn't have those they definitely would've fallen apart had I eaten it with my hands like usual. The actual onigiri was good though, top was toasty due to the grilling and it was tasty. The bbq pork filling was not my 100% favorite but it was still good. Next time I'd probably do the tuna furikake. The kimchi bacon was alright, but I am not the biggest fan of kimchi! Definitely would go back to try other flavors, as well as the lunch specials which look great!

This is really a good place for lunch around the university neighborhood. Their student specials are reasonably priced, and all of them are delicious. Honestly, I am very happy with that they have some Korean fried chicken menu. The only issue is that it would be much better if they have some available drinking water in the store.Added: Nov 14, 2023. Now, they have kimbap menu.

The food here is amazing, service is fast and the staff are nice. The salmon plate is the best in my opinion.

My favorite dish! The miso tahini sauce is amazing. They always give you so much food- I always have left overs.

The onigiri here is amazing. The miso glaze is perfect, with my favorite being the sweet potato onion. Staff are kind but occasionally stressed & they show it. The pot stickers are probably my favorite thing on the menu!

The food here is incredible. It’s affordable, with a student menu that has many different options. The portions here are large and incredibly delicious. I personally recommend the beef bulgogi or the Korean fried chicken, both are great options. The Onigiri is made perfectly, packed with filling. The miso soup is cheaper and a larger portion than usual, and tastes very good.
Yummy and presentation is amazing! Affordable options for students as well.

My fiancé and I were on our way to another food place in this plaza when we saw the Ume Grill Onigiri House! Small place (it's kinda looks like a food stand, not a walk in restaurant) but There's a small sitting area (mayeb two tables) with a covering, I love how they hand so many different onigiri to choose from , and some work unique flavors. The workers were also such chill and nice guys. Though there wasn't a large amount of filling, each one tasted so yummy. My favorite was the spicy pork. Give this place a try if you're ever in Eugene!

They opened a new Ume location across from the hospital. I've been going to the food cart on 24th for a while, and I tried the skewer house on Pearl as well. Consistently good, fresh food at a reasonable price. Plates come with a big salad and a homemade sesame dressing. The new location has another vegetarian option: miso butter tofu. It's super delicious. A great spot for lunch. Note that seating in this location is limited to a few tables, so better for take-out when busy.
