The best sushi in the area. Its par to the sushi back home in the San Francisco area, which is saying something! And that eel filet? Amazing!! (Sushi Domos attempt at that dish is laughably pathetic) I never saw that in CA. The restaurant just opened and its beautifully decorated. I love the lacquered tables and even painting the normally ugly commercial ceiling material black was a smart detail. Its just too bad they got rid of Asahi Black since their grand opening. Dont go anywhere else for sushi. Youll be wasting your time and money.

Its spendy to eat here but there are some delicate works of art over here that i have not seen elsewhere and they appear to be pretty clean. This is a mom and pop establishment where the staff are very clean and polite service. Tempura is nice and crisp not over-fried, there is a "yuki no hanna" dish that is really tasty and beautiful with sashimi wrapped in pickled daikon. Tea served is burnt rice tea with good flavor. If you want a nice downtown sit down with good parking around in a well lit neighborhood at night, go here.

Eugenes best sushi restaurant. This place rocks! The sushi is fresh. I had Ika, scallops, and toro. The setting is absolutely unbelievable. The first time I walked in I was completely amazed! Its beautiful inside...... handmade redwood tables, large screen tvs, trendy art work. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is fast. As if it couldnt get better.... happy hour from 3-6. I ordered a vodka tonic with lime.... $3. Need i say more?

The presentation is wonderful, and the staff is very attentive and friendly! But I have to give three stars because every time Ive eaten there Ive been overwhelmed by the saltiness of their sushi and the sauces they use, and the fish they used in their sushi tasted fishy. I do recommend the seaweed salad, and the poke salad!

Fantastic experience, we watched the playoff game on one of their 70 inch screen and had some of the best sushi in eugene with a group of friends. I recommend the Yummy Crunch, Lion King and Golden Dragon. The martinis were very good too. Highly recommend this place for ambiance and awesome sushi.

I walked in for a pick up and they were very nice, almost uncomfortably nice. The tiger roll I ordered was delicious, a little sloppy but fresh. Unfortunately, I found a hair woven into my calamari so I probably wont eat there again. Or dont order from their kitchen and you should be fine.

Good spot for Japanese cuisine. They also have Korean food on the menu. I ordered the sashimi/sushi boat and fish was fresh. I had a good time and has a great atmosphere for families and friends. Not a must try but I would consider this a reliable spot.

The waitress was a bit rude. But she came back and apologized. It was busy with a huge table. We were patient even though it took over an hour to get our food. And someones order was forgotten. But the food came out piping hour and was very delicious.

Ill make it quick and painless which is not it was for me here. The service was terrible and the food overpriced for the type of fare they offered. I would say for a college kid trying to show his girlfriend a good night out, then this is your place.

Amazing seared salmon nigiri that just melts in your mouth. And finally found a spicy roll that isnt just spicy tuna passed as a spicy roll - the crazy monkey. I highly suggest you sit at the sushi bar, they are true artists. Tell them Bob sent you..

Not the best but not bad at all. Very clean environment, friendly service. Sushi, sashimi, rolls are kind of 2.5 out of 5. Nice cutting and look, but could use better material. Service is fast. Unagi Don the most delicious one in town.

Best time Ive had in Eugene. Very nice atmosphere. Our young server, Joshua was fun and gave great recomendations. He helped us pick a cold and warm sake to try, which was unique, and we loved the tako nigri (octopus) and pork bento.

My wife and I have tried most the Sushi places in town, and this was by far the best place weve found...service couldve been a bit more attentive, but Im willing to over-look that for the food...

Foods are expensive and not much potion, so its not for students. You have to wait your food at least 20mins.
