Uni

Food was unique and delicious, but it wasn't as good as some other places in the area for the same price. We were seated at a table for 4 on the lower floor and it was pretty chilly down there. Another couple actually asked to be moved upstairs because it was too cold. The service was excellent.

Located inside the Eliot Hotel, Uni serves a delightful experience with high quality sushi and Japanese fusion dishes. Recently came for dinner, and despite our reservation, we got seated at the bar seats. It still had nice and intimate atmosphere, but had we known the popularity of the place, we would’ve booked at an earlier time. We started with the eros oysters and a hint of sweetness from its garnish gave it a refreshing finish. Sushi came after with some hits and misses. Hokkaido uni pieces were not worth their hefty price tag, but I enjoyed Chutoro and other pieces. Sea bream, hamachi, and sawara were beyond our expectations, and we ended up getting another round of those before moving on to the entrées. Foie gras came later on a separate dish, and this was undoubtedly the best dish of the meal. The buttery chunk of foie gras combined with sweet candied hazelnut was simply divine. For our entrée, we got some wagyu dumplings, black cod special, and the crab garlic noodles. Black cod was one of the most popular dishes of the night, and we managed to snatch the last one available. Its buttery texture was exquisite and certainly justified its popularity. Wagyu dumplings were a tad spicy, but slight hint of herbs, vinegar, cheese, and nice chunks of wagyu beef made a mindblowing orchestration of flavors in my mouth. Spicy tuna tataki with foie gras and the crab garlic noodles were also really good, not our palate was already spoiled by other dishes to enjoy them. Definitely the best non-omakase Japanese food experience I had in Boston, and I highly recommend trying them out.

The unagi nigiri was the highlight of my meal. The sashimi scallop was good but wasn't so good that I would order it again. One guest ordered nigiri that had pepper jelly which was too overpowering. I understand the ambition of the kitchen but it failed to wow me on the level of n/naka in Los Angeles. The ambience is nice but the music was too loud. The best part of the experience was the staff. Our server was excellent. I would give the food three stars overall. The service deserves five stars.

Excellent A5 you cook on a scalding rock they bring to your table. I don't eat sushi, but my husband was into it. Shrimp basil was refreshing, squash dumplings were awesome. Basically a flawless execution all around.
