Sushi Pure

Blas Chavez

I would like to start with saying how prompt the front end was with seating us(table for 2) at 7pm on a Friday night! Along with the ambience I give a big 2 thumbs up. However, that’s where the praise stops. Reading reviews praising the “purple rice” and the “ Best Sushi I have ever had” led us to pick pure. It seems the purple rice is a gimmick to lure people in and an excuse to inflate the price. The rice as expected was typical rice, although the texture was lackluster. We ordered the firecracker and the Victoria rolls. For not being starving, I would have sent both back! The sauce with the Victoria roll was reminiscent of a very basic spicy mayonnaise (not sure if that was the intentions at all), the roll was all rice and filler with very little actual fish on top( if you call that fish)! The firecracker was the even worse. I will typically eat it not to waste food however, this wasn’t something I would feed the homeless! Saving grace was the pan fried noodles w/h chicken. Very tasty, good sauce, ratio of ingredients was spot on and was enough for 2. Coming from AZ, a 4.5 star rating from 514 reviews, it being so close to the coast had my expectations very high. Overall bang for your buck and taste left me very disappointed.

Loved the vibe and everything about this restaurant. Quality seemed quite good and my mother enjoyed her food thoroughly. I, however was very thrown off by the taste of the purple rice and had to send my roll back. I could see how some people might really enjoy this flavor but it wasn't for me. It would have been nice to be warned about before ordering such an expensive roll. Fortunately, they were very accommodating and removed the roll from the bill without blinking an eye just felt bad wasting the food.

This restaurant was everything I had been wanting when it comes to beautiful fresh fish prepared by a seasoned chef. The Marbled Tuna was absolutely incredible. It was reminiscent of butter and just melts in the mouth. The salmon nigiri had a very soft and fresh texture, and I even ordered Uni, which I don’t normally enjoy very much but it was also delicious. A wonderful experience!

Our favorite sushi spot in Eugene, hands down!! Tak is an incredible sushi chef. Cocktails are amazing. Staff is wonderful. Atmosphere is great. Downstairs in the bar area feels like an old schmoozey jazz club, in the best way.
