I eat here about once a week and am always happy with the food. Price is reasonable to better than average. Service is generally good, but can be slow and understaffed during Eugene's monthly friday Art Walk (they could plan better for this). More

The food at Sushi Ya was pretty good. However, having been friends with a former waitress there, I will never go back. The owners treated their wait staff VERY poorly, unfairly regulated the distribution of tips and tables, and had total disregard for loyalty of employees to give preferential treatment to friends they hired. This did have an impact on... More

I did not think this place was as good as The Sushi Station. The service on this day was a little slower than I like. The sushi was really good and the people very friendly. More

I love sushi, and Sushi Ya does a great job with presentation, quality and taste. The restaurant itself has nice decor and is located in the heart of downtown Eugene. I had given up on Sushi Ya due to what I considered mediocre service (at best). I had been there three times in the past; both my wife and I... More

Great service. 30% off at "happy hour". Friendly, good sushi, however, the sushi servings have to be the smallest I've ever seen! We would have ate more, but the price (even with the 30% off) was way too high for what was being served. More

My gf and I went into Sushi Ya one hour before closing. The second we walked in it became clear that the service was going to suck. It didn't feel professional and the waiter said we could sit wherever. He later brought us menus and we waited a half hour for him to come back and get our order while... More

If you want pretty good sushi- go there. Otherwise, stay away from the kitchen food. Monday-Thursday the kitchen chef there doesn't speak English and has a hard time making decent tasting food. The portions are small and the prices are big. The chicken and beef are the lowest grade of meat available to restaurants and costs a fraction of the... More

My friends and I stumbled into Sushi Ya after a day on the river. I live in Portland and love my sushi. We sat up at the bar and the sushi chef made us the best sushi I've had in a long time. The fish was excellent and the friendly atmosphere and genuine enjoyment he got our of making us... More

Not an idea place for a quick lunch, but if you have the time to wait a bit or you go when it's not busy, the food is really good and fresh. I go there often because I know when to go and am never disappointed. They have some specialty sushi rolls that are amazing and their soups are huge... More

I did a little research and decided to go for the sushi bar closer to my home. We had a lovely experience. The sushi chefs were knowledgable, helpful and pleasant. The service was quick and the sushi was presented in a creative way, fresh and very tasty. The cost was fine ($4 - $7 for six pieces). They began closing... More
