We don't *need* another Akira review, but our first time, so here goes:…read more The kampachi was buttery and beautiful. The best piece of nigiri I've had in Eugene or most any other place. Wasabi - like, real wasabi! I kept dabbing in my mouth never having tasted it before. It's both spicier on the front of your tongue and more luxurious on the back. I want more. The fried chicken bao was unfugging, unbelievably delicious. Can we say unfugging on Yelp? We got the Mrs V roll - spicy tuna topped with seared beef. Again, buttery with Rich beef and tuna that's actually spicy. Excellent roll This was an elegant, refined and completely delicious experience. We will definitely be back.

For starters, their service, while not rude, is certainly not given with a smile. We were seated…read moreupstairs but were not told until after we were seated that we couldn't order anything from the "special menu" which is reserved only for people sitting downstairs. Our server didn't smile and seemed so impatient when we asked questions about the menu. He was going off the clock and flippantly said, if you need anything ask the other guy or the bartender, both of which seemed disinterested in filling in for him. When we asked about which tuna nigiri was which (several were on the plate) they had no clue and were not interested in finding out for us. Food wise, it was okay and I've certainly had better but the lackluster service tainted the entire night.

Definitely better than expected, we walked in and it didn't seem like any tables were available, but there was seating near the back. Service was quick, after placing our order, the food was brought pretty fast. We ordered sushi, katsu curry, poke bowl & gyudon. Everything was delicious, I enjoyed the flavor of my gyudon and the katsu curry was tasty too. My only complaint was the poke bowl--it seemed deceptively big, but the bowl was mostly filler, with rice and greens and some tuna poke on top. Nonetheless our meal was filling, but I'm not sure if I would order the poke bowl again. Overall, our dining experience was good--I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Nice interior, and was waited on quickly. My waitress brought water, and took my order for green tea. It came quickly, a full mug, and a lovely little cast iron teapot with a second serving. Good tea, too! I ordered the nine piece Hamachi sashimi (on a diet... no carbs, lol)! I was brought a six piece... and let the waitress know that. Told her the six piece would be fine for now. Lovely presentation, and the hamachi was beautiful. Fresh too, no fishy odor and the color was good. It was delicious. I would eat here again!

Let's talk sushi friends. This is my second time at this restaurant. First time, I went alone and…read moreonly had one dish. But you are here for a review... not a backstory. Today I went and got a 'Caterpillar' roll and 'Day Dreamer' roll. Let me break it down for you. Caterpillar roll: AMAZING 10/10. I love sushi and this is a go to roll for me NO MATTER WHAT. This roll is always good, but Sushi Pure makes it amazing, the taste, texture, and fulfillment it brings is unmatched. Day Dreamer roll: Very Solid 7.75/10. This roll had me in a chokehold for a second. That's neither bad or a good thing. The taste all around was very good, but the texture through me off (more personal problem, so many of you may love this). It was like soft, then crunchy, then popping due to the fish egg. All around I would recommend, but it may not be for everyone. The servers I've had both times have always been so kind, quick moving, and motivated so the service is unmatched as well. All in all, Sushi Pure is a must try with an amazing atmosphere!

There are plenty of tables at Friendly St Garden, and inside, you can get drinks, including free water, and there is a bathroom. Parking is on the side of the building, or on the street.

With the food prepared in front of our rowdy group and the entertaining chef kept us in awe the whole time. Eggs flying, meat sizzling, aromas wafting it was dizzying to the senses, and fun. The flavors were amazing; I particularly enjoyed the scallops and the steak. The prices also were very fair. Had I known how much fun and how reasonable it was I would have been coming here more often. Also, the restrooms were very clean and the staff was so friendly.

I love Japanese food. I always enjoy hibachi restaurants too... some are good, some are just barely…read moreok. I have seen a lot of reviews of Fuji that are not that flattering... but the reviews are often for sushi, which is not really what most hibachi restaurants excel at. If I want sushi, I will go to a sushi specialty restaurant. Normally the kitchen menus are good (Katsu, Tempura, etc)... but the Hibachi based TeppanYaki is usually the best. So today at Fuji, I ordered the Filet Mignon Hibachi lunch special. Great price... so I figured why not? Service was very good... I was told that the minimum seating at a hibachi table was two. So I could either wait and see if someone else came in wanting that... or I could order two servings. Lol... hungry but not that hungry. I was also told that hibachi for one is available at the normal table (minus the chefs flinging knives and shrimp around)! I was seated, brought water... and my waitress was great. Cheerful and helpful without being obtrusive. She gave me an option of either French Onion soup or Miso soup... I went with the Miso. She brought a bowl out shortly and apologized it took so long (it didn't), stating that since I was the first one in, and they just opened... nothing was ready yet. So everything was made fresh. Miso was good... small cubes of tofu, some nori... and you could taste the hondashi it was made with... delicious. A bit salty, but that does happen... She brought my plate out and it was very nice to look at, with a great aroma. Nice portion of filet, veggies and fried rice (I chose the rice, instead of noodles). Very tasty, beef was so tender and cooked perfectly medium rare like I asked for. Veggies were crisp and delicious... and the fried rice (yakimeshi) was wonderful! Highly recommended... and I will need to go back and try dinner at the hibachi tables, and also order from the kitchen menu. I feel bad, because I started eating, and forgot to take a picture... but here is the plate with 4 or 5 pieces of filet missing! ;)

I usually am a bit hesitant when ordering rice or noodle bowls with tofu as the tofu is sometimes treated as an afterthought, cut into squares and just thrown into the dish with no seasoning or consideration. NOT the case here. The tofu was bread and fried and SO FUN to eat. And I need to talk about that egg sauce! After consuming all of that yummy tofu the good dish vibes continued with the rice being drenched in it. The katsu also comes with a side salad. The salad was simple yet crisp and fresh. That creamy sesame dressing was also delightful. I went extra and combined the salad in the bowl with the egg sauce soaked rice and it was a brilliant idea if I say so myself. They also have a vegan option on the menu called the mabo dofu and I am really excited to try that when I return.
