'Eugene Weekly' readers consistently declare it Eugene's Best Sushi. I've had dinner here and was satisfied, but not as impressed as I wanted to be. |

'Eugene Weekly' readers deem it the Second Best Sushi in Eugene, but in this college town, conveyor-belt convenience and low prices may matter more than high quality. At the Asian Celebration in Eugene, I spoke with several local sushi buffs; none gave Sushi Station high marks. |

Homemade sauces. Reservations for larger parties. Counter service. Take-out." A 12/05 Citysearch review confirms they have unagi don, but I peered through the front door window and didn't see any other sushi listed on their menu. The cuisine appears to be predominantly Korean, with some Japanese dishes on the side. |
