The Best Restaurants in Eugene, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Oregon-grown and raised ingredients transform into dishes reflecting the Japanese diaspora at this super-kawaii, lavender-hued food cart parked next to the covered patio at Coldfire Brewing Company. Chef Alex Dakers and the team blend the agricultural bounty of local farms with Japanese staple dishes like ramen, onigiri, and donburi. Warming bowls of koji-marinated pork belly or King salmon sashimi are layered over heaping bowls of rice with crisp sides of salad greens, smoked chicken-filled fills savory rice balls, and a build-your-own ramen option allows you to craft the ideal bowl with add-ons like smoked chicken thigh and jammy eggs over noodles from Portland’s Umi Organic. If you happen to be there on a Monday, the Yabai burger is also a worthy option. End the meal with a tall pint of beer." - Brenna Houck
