    I really love this place! I recommend it to people visiting from out of town for an easy and filling lunch or dinner. The stir fried noodles are a huge serving that are delicious and fresh. I love their onigiris for a fun snack (my husband loved it when I surprised him with a couple at an airport pickup). The onigiris come with some tasty slightly spiced pickles that are quite addictive. My favorite onigiris: tuna furikake and sesame kimchi. The entrees come with a tasty salad with a very yummy tahini dressing and excellent toppings (nuts, carrots, corn, etc). Staff is prompt and friendly, order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Bathrooms are shared bathrooms for the building, ask for a key. Another perk, they have an ume grill location at Amazon park pool in the summer. Way better than option regular hot dogs or hamburgers at a pool.

    not your typical sit down restaurant, not even really meant to be a sit down restaurant at all i don't think. you order up front and they give you your food to-go and i just get the vibe they don't really want you hanging out there even though there are many tables and many seats. that being said the food is pretty good. i got the ahi tuna poke bowl and it was good but i don't recommend it for the price of 18$ as it wasn't that much fish, mostly salad. i do however recommend the chicken fried rice, it was so good! i would go again knowing what this place is all about now.

    Amazing food and super nice people!! Has a great ambiance to the whole place and is a hidden gym! They have great prices and pretty big portions which is nice! Great for any time of the year and make sure to check out their specials!

    The food here has always been good up until today when my partner received a piece of chicken with what looks like fly-eggs or some other bug adjacent larvae on it. Concerned about the kitchen cleanliness and overall food safety of this restaurant and do not plan on coming back.

    During a visit to Eugene, I came here after having a somewhat pricy Happy Hour meal. It was probably a 15 street hike from my hotel, but it was well worth it and I regret not having more tummy space to try more items. I ended up ordering a tofu and tuna furikake. At $3 a piece, it was so simple, yet so good. The prices were reasonable, too.

    I had never been here before so I wasn't sure what to expect! It's sort of pricey but the for amount of stuff you get it's worth it! I had 2 meals with this and probably could have split it into 3. It was a lot! The taste is delicious and it also didn't take long for them to make it for me. 5-10 mins tops! The inside is clean and a chill environment (at least when I went). The Chicken Teriyaki with Noodles was really good and I would get it again for sure! They had many options. Go give it a try!

    $8 side salad

    The food isn't bad, but the people running this place are sneaky. They have a 6.99 teriyaki lunch plate. I ordered it and the cashier asked if I would like to add a side salad. After agreeing to the salad add on, the cashier decided to add $8 per lunch special for salad up charge. An $8 salad? For a $7 plate. This bumped up all the plates up the $15 each. And the salad is spinach with canned veggies, not worth doubling the price. And the place was dirty.

    I really like this place especially since I can get it delivered right to my house. The skewers never disappoint but they do need to add some beef skewers ... The onigiri is very tasty and will get them again tomorrow

    Very happy with their portion of yakisoba and also with their delicious Onigiri. I with they could put their miso glaze on everything.

    Are the sushi burritos still available? I don't see that on any of the take out/delivery menus.

    Always love eating here! It's hard sometimes to find good vegetarian options but the tofu here is…read moreso good and it's such a fun way to share a meal. It's the place I always bring friends and family from out of town

    There are no reservations at this restaurant, so it's first come first serve. Street parking was…read moreeasy to find, and we arrived around 7. The place was packed, but thankfully we were seated quite quickly with a 5-10 minute wait. The interior is cozy and welcoming. It's dimly lit with mood lighting on the tables. It felt lively since the tables were packed. We started by ordering the sake and shoyu flights and some fries with wasabi mayo while we explored the rest of their menu. We received the flights quickly. Both flights had 3 flavors and were tasty and fun to try. Each flight comes with a menu describing the flavor profile and how the drinks were made. The flavors of each flight were distinct and matched their descriptions. The fries with wasabi mayo were pretty basic fries. They were well seasoned, had a nice crunch, and the mayo had a subtle wasabi flavor without it being spicy. For our next round we ordered the salmon misoyaki, butternut squash, tofu kushiyaki, and steak kushiyaki. Unfortunately, our server forgot to bring our butternut squash, but we ended up being full with the rest of the food we ordered and just took it off our order. The salmon misoyaki was delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, and well seasoned. The mustard greens on the side added a nice sourness. The tofu kushiyaki was tender and flavorful. The steak kushiyaki was well-seasoned, but more well done than I preferred and a little tough. Next, we ordered the spinach goma ae and umeboshi unigiri. The spinach goma ae was such a pleasant surprise! It's a chilled spinach dish with a tamari/black sesame sauce that was refreshing mid-meal. Really good umami flavor! The umeboshi onigiri had the expected sharp salty/sour flavor that balanced well with the ratio of rice. Ended up dipping the umeboshi onigiri in the goma ae sauce to get every last drop. For dessert we ordered the basque cheesecake and créme brûlée. The cheesecake was just okay. The menu said there was sake and black sesame flavors, but apart from some black sesame dust on the plate we couldn't taste the sake/sesame. The texture was thick and not super smooth. It was a pretty heavy dessert and not very sweet. The créme brûlée was yummy. The custard was smooth and the crunchy caramelized sugar on top was a nice contrast in texture and flavor. The service itself was slow. We were waiting around 15 minutes between orders. Given, it was a busy night. However, we felt a bit forgotten as our server did forget to bring one of our dishes, we had to ask for our dessert menus twice, and we were accidentally served two basque cheesecakes instead of our order of cheesecake and créme brûlée. The staff were friendly, and quickly brought out the correct desserts at the end. I'd recommend ordering more dishes at once so you can enjoy more food in between orders. Would definitely come back again to try the rest of their menu. We wanted to try the Japanese sweet potato but they had sold out that night. The oysters, sashimi, and udon also looked quite good!

    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.
