Calamari
Alessandra G.

Huge rolls! Sorry I can't remember what we ordered but we love to get a crunchy roll here and they come out perfectly fried and huge! Everything has great flavor especially tuna. I will update when I come again!

Forgot what sushi rolls but they were delicious

Food and service was great. We got 2 baked rolls and it was delicious. The interior was well decorated and great for smaller groups. I'd definitely be coming back here!

Chef's choice roll

We came in for dinner around 6:30pm on a Thursday night. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some small talk with the chef. Ordered 6 pc chefs choice Nigiri, California roll, Tokyo Roll, Calamari appetizer and a chefs choice specialty roll. All of the above were the best I've had within 300 miles of here. Chefs choice roll came out and was called a Machupachu roll picture attached. Total for our bill was $65 for plenty of food to feed three people.

Oh My gosh! Talk about a hidden gem! This place is perfect! It was recommended to me by some friends who used to live in Eugene for 10+ years and they would go here regularly, and I'm glad I heard about this place. It just hit the spot, it was exactly what we were looking for food wise, and the selection was perfect. I loved the ambiance of the whole place, really comfortable and casual and it just had a very authentic Japanese vibe. The staff was very professional and friendly and helpful! I can't wait to go back to this place!

i am a Sushi Seoul ride or die but this place definitely exceeded my expectations. service was a little slow but also good so it balanced, i guess. we also got the tofu appetizer and added spice and it was sooooo good. gyoza/potstickers were better than other places around. bathroom also has a bidet lol +1 for hygiene.

Chewy and smelly yellowtail not edible

Please avoid this place if you are used to fresh fish! Absolutely unsure what they tried to serve us!!!

Sushi/Sashimi combo

Sat at the counter. Ordered Veggie Tempura and Sushi/Sashimi lunch combo. Good- server was friendly, fish was fresh, music was relaxing. Hot Miso was delish!! Bad- why is broccoli not served in veggie tempura that costs $10.50? A slice of carrot and sweet potato hardly cost anything. I ordered another nigiri and the sushi chef literally let it sit on the side for 5-7 min waiting for someone else to serve it to me. Then he told the server that he told him 5 min ago that he needed to serve it! When does a sushi chef not serve the bar? He could have just handed it to me...I was sitting there staring at him...waiting for my order.‍‍‍ Too much rice in the nigiri.

Dirty plate

Was excited to try the sushi but couldn't even stomach eating what I ordered because I couldn't trust that the location knows how to wash dishes or utensils. The plate we got our sushi served on was encrusted with grease and oil with little bits of hairs sticking to it. After we were about to leave I was able to scrape the gunk leftover on the "clean" portion of the plate with the chopsticks we were given. The small portion plates and the sauce plates were also oily and dirty. I pointed it out to the waitress who just said the dishes were old. These were filthy. I should have just left but decided to stay after they offered a discount. I don't trust they care about food safety standards if they can't hire competent dishwashers or managers who care about their wares or dishwasher operation.

I dropped off my tax docs at the CPA today, and had to stop and get a bite somewhere. Sashimi…read moresounded good, so decided to stop at Sushi Pure since it was close by. 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!

Stopped by on a Wednesday evening after a full day of work. Had a few more things to do but wanted…read morea quick bite and a good drink. Ordered the Ikura onigiri and the Japanese Sweet Potato and the Agadashi Tofu. (I asked for miso butter on the side for me because I have found it overwhelms the potato which is seasoned really wonderfully). The Ikura Onirigi was simple and excellent. My favorite wishes that they would create an regular Onirigi Happy Hour where they are on discount so that those of us who just want to have half a dozen of those and a few drinks can come in and experience our heart's delight. My drink of choice here is the Painkiller -- which is really well balanced and so delicious it's hard not to have a second. Wednesdays are when they have two dollars off the ginger-based drinks and I didn't try it this time but I am keen to the next time because they appear to crush the ginger in house and make their own ginger concoction magic. The bar was thankfully not crowded. As an introvert it was nice to be finishing up and heading out just as more people were coming in.

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!

The dinner special (3 rolls, rice, salad, miso soup) is about $27 from what I remember. Hubby and I shared that meal (with extra salad and miso), added another roll, and ordered garlic edamame. That was too much food, but neither of us complained. The rolls were great and I loved the salad dressing. They also have a drink-of-the-day. That night it was a mango martini-margarita kind of drink. Let me explain - salt on the rim of a martini-sized glass, a tequila-based mango margarita with no ice. It was stronger than a margarita, more like a martini, and cost about $5. We had a young child with us and that brought some interesting moments. The staff was so helpful, friendly, and polite in bringing extra chop sticks and napkins as we needed. I love restaurants when children can be children (within sweet limits) and the staff are accommodating. We will be back when we are in Springfield/Eugene again.

It was our second time going here and the food was delicious and fresh, the service was wonderful and our drinks were kept refilled. My husband loves the quality and variety of the nigiri here and my daughter and I particularly love the Red Bull roll that has steak on the top! On our first visit, we had cash ready for our server, who was excellent btw, but another server came by and grabbed her cash tip and put it in her pocket. I'm not sure how they tip out here but that just really sat wrong with us. For that reason only, I'm not giving 5 stars.
