UNI

Uni has a special omakase menu every Thursday with only 4 seats with Chef Takeishi. This is much more traditional than the regular menu or tasting menu. He shares his passion about each dish that comes out. He talked in detail about the different types of fish of the menu, the sourcing, and many other details. He absolutely adds to the experience! The meal was incredible. I had several species of fish Ive never seen before. Each dish has minimal ingredients. Just enough to elevate the flavors of the fish. Some amazing soups, and awesome desserts.  Service was also attentive and friendly. I highly suggest you give this place a try, in particular the omakase menu, where you have to reserve ahead of time :(

Mind-Blowing Culinary Experience at UNIDining at UNI is nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Take's talent is truly remarkable, turning every dish into a masterpiece. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, each slice practically melts in your mouth, showcasing the incredible quality and craftsmanship that UNI is known for.One of the standout dishes was the Foie Gras sushi with pop rocks and strawberry. The combination of flavors and textures was nothing short of genius--a perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and a playful pop that left me in awe. It's a daring creation that speaks to Chef Take's innovative spirit.My personal favorite, though, has to be the Toro topped with caviar. The buttery, luxurious texture of the Toro paired with the briny burst of caviar is an experience I won't soon forget. It's the kind of sushi that dreams are made of.The service at UNI is also top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like a VIP from start to finish. They are well-versed in the menu and make excellent recommendations, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and memorable.UNI is, without a doubt, a dining destination that should be on every food lover's bucket list. Chef Take's talent shines through in every dish, making it an unforgettable experience.

- Was recommended by a friend of mine to try this spot who raved about it. I had heard mixed reviews previously but decided to make a reservation to catch up with some friends as a late bday celebration. We came on a Thursday right when they opened at 5:30 pm. - The tables are fairly close to each other which can be uncomfortable for some. Chairs are comfy and overall interior is dim lighting accent colors of dark and light brown. - We opted out of the tasting menu as there were a couple of dishes we knew off the bat we wouldn't enjoy. The star of the show was the toro! So buttery and melted right in your mouth. Very delicious! - We ordered miso soup, the korobuta spare rib, hamachi sashimi, salmon and avocado, spicy tuna, toro and a couple of other items. Our server was very attentive and surprised us at the end with sake as we were celebrating a bday. - Overall, it was good but nothing wow or special. There's better spots in the city and at a better price point.

UNI was one of the best food experiences I've had in Boston! We shared a bunch of different dishes, which is definitely the way to go if you're having dinner here. Everything we got was so fresh and unique tasting. I loved that their drinks had such fun names and they even had mocktails on the menu.The place has a really cool vibe and a great bar area if you're stopping by. All our dishes came out super fast so we weren't ever waiting too long. Our bartender was also so friendly and fun! Can't wait to be back here!

Came here for a dinner with co-workers! The sushi obviously is amazing. Their sake selection was pretty generous. My first time trying the Tamago, I was most surprised that something so simple could taste this good. I'd gladly come back here!

Great date spot. One table with a loud kid really did not fit in here. The decor is great. I wish they had their own bathroom so the vibe wasn't broken up by a long walk through the bright hotel lobby. Dinner at UNI has an intimate atmosphere and the staff were helpful and friendly. Barracuda sashimi was good, not the most flavorful but I enjoyed it. The tako was a little oily, as advertised, but delicious and a good portion. The drinks here are always great; really creative and cover a diverse range of flavors for all preferences.i do wish the food had wowed me more for the price. It wasn't the best sushi I've had but everything was good.

Busy, trendy sushi restaurant not far from Berklee and Newbury Street. Fantastic service, good people watching, interesting and unique sushi, home of the spiciest spicy tuna roll that I've ever eaten! The start of my meal was disappointing with the worst cup of miso soup I've ever had. Absolutely no flavor to the broth and was served luke warm. My fears were soon put to rest with some rich and creamy yellowtail and fatty tuna nigiri. The Kurabuto spareribs were saucy and a bit on the sweet side. The star of the meal was the fried chicken bao bun. The chicken was crunchy and flavorful and the bun soft and pillowy. The food is pricey and served tapas style with small plates intended for sharing. I'd go back for the bao bun alone, but the spicey tuna roll must be experienced! I had tears in my eyes.

The vibe in this restaurant was great! We sat in the upstairs section. It's a little more lively, yet dimly lit, than the restaurant on the lower version. It's exactly what we needed. The place was happening for a Monday night. Our waiter was upbeat and helped us navigate the menu. We ordered a bunch of things to share:Bay scallop sashimiWhite truffle hamachi (special)Shrimp tempuraChow fun noodles Apple saladSpicy yellowtail rollEverything was really great and unique. My favorites were the bay scallop, chow fun noodles, and apple salad. I loved the citrus in the bay scallop dish. The texture in the chow fun noodles was unique and the freshness of the apple salad was great too. We ordered a bottle of sake to accompany our meal. We added on the spicy yellowtail because we were still a little bit hungry, but the items above were enough to fill our stomachs, but not feel overstuffed. This was a great place and dinner!

Extremely underwhelming for its price. Most of the appetizers are all priced for just one piece even though they're all about $10. I was shocked that we had to pay over $10 for an average bite of bao or ribs. I thought the popular wagyu dumplings were just okay as well - nothing spectacular. The sushi quality is good if you order nigiri, but I didn't find any of their rolls memorable. The otoro nigiri is definitely worth getting though. Would not come back again honestly and hope that Boston has better sushi to offer than this. I give it 3 stars at least because the service and ambience were great.

Amazing place with amazing food difficult to get a table. Best sushi in Boston. One of my wifes favorite places
