Toshi's Ramen 1520 Pearl Street, Eugene, OR 97401

"I had wanted to try here for awhile and finally went with a friend who had been going for 10+ years. They exceeded my expectations! I loved that the food didn't feel heavy but rather nourishing. Portions were great and the price was even better. The customer service was outstanding and we came a little late but didn't feel like we were being rushed out at close. I will be coming back very soon!"

"Wow!!! Talk about delicious food! Genuinely amazing with an enthusiastic team of folks who made this such a great dining experience. The restaurant is small, so be prepared for a little bit of a wait during busy times. But just grab some sake and hang! It's worth it!"

"** contains edit / update at bottom ** It's a long road coming down I-5 from Tacoma. However, leaving at 4am to drive down to Eugene is exactly what my roomie and I had to do for an appointment. After an early excursion and a painful appointment, Toshi's Ramen turned a long dredge into a delightful adventure. When we first arrived, the cashiers and chefs were busy tending to various things. It's always nice to see a ramen place like this thriving and keeping busy. After peering over the menu, my roommate and I ordered: she had the Miso cha-shu (extra spicy), and I had the Shoyu Wakame (spicy) with pot stickers and a drink for the both of us. After paying $40 (tip included), we sat down and waited for our meal. It wasn't long before the Ramen was delivered. I need to highlight how fantastic of service was here. The staff was energetic, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The food, as well, was delicious. Lightly spicy with a heat that tickled without becoming overbearing, and an umami flavor that made you feel comfortable and at home. Mixed with that, the down to earth borderline rustic environment of the shop felt wonderfully inviting and made for an incredible shared meal that stole away the conversation as my roommate and I ate with gusto. The flavors were full bodied and well rounded as expected from your normal umami flavoring, while being fresh and not overtly saturating that soul food tends to be. The freshness was something that really stood out to me, and that was reflected in just about every aspect of Toshi's Ramen. The facilities were impeccably well kept, the flow of the store was smooth even as it picked up pace and became crowded as my roommate and I ate, the staff were alert and aware at all times, and the food was fresh. I deeply enjoyed my small experience here, and it left such a good impression that I'm sitting here in the parking lot writing this for a solid 20 minutes because of how good my experience was while another 3-4hr trip looms over the horizon (almost literally). Thank you Toshi's for being such a great place to eat, and I look forward to coming here again! [Edit Jun 3, 2023] yeah, still the best Ramen place and arguably the best restaurant experience I've ever had. The energy, the food, and the atmosphere all come together for a truly unique and delightful experience. I genuinely can't recommend this place enough. [Edit Oct 12, 2023] It's become a tradition with my roommate and myself to stop by here before heading back up towards Olympia because of just how good the food is here. Whenever my roommate and myself visit Eugene, eating here is a must. Consistently a delightful visit."

"Not quite to our tastes. It's alright for a smaller city I guess with not a lot of Asian food choices. We're spiked by the wide range of great ramen places in Los Angeles so while a bunch of reviewers rates Toshiba as 5 stars, we beg to differ."

"This place has super good food and some of the best customer service I've experienced anywhere. The man working the front counter ( named Jun) was extremely engaging and has natural people skills that can not be overstated. We had 2 of the three broths, and they were both excellent. Pair that with handmade noodles and fresh, great tasting ingredients, and you've got a real winner! 10/10 would recommend. I will return!"
