About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for business meals
Innovative

Serving inventive Japanese cuisine using the freshest seafood from Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji market and local New England fishermen, and borrowing influence from the streets of Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok and Bangladesh, Uni is the evolution of Ken Oringer’s intimate sashimi bar of the same name, which expanded into the former Clio space in 2016. UNI is currently helmed by Executive Chef David Bazirgan.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ken Oringer & David Bazirgan

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 2002, Back Bay’s Uni still turns out some of the city’s best seafood, much of it sourced from Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji market. Acclaimed chef Ken Oringer’s menu stars decadent dishes like the uni spoon—uni paired with caviar and a quail egg—in a luxe and lively space inside the Eliot Hotel that makes every meal feel like a special occasion.

Fantastic!! Every bit of food was amazing, melt in your mouth goodness. We generally do tasting menus when available but opted not to this time around, just as there were some very particular thing not on tasting menu that we definitely wanted. Josh (our main waiter) and the entire crew were just amazing and extremely attentive.

Not sure what they were thinking, to cook the aburi toro completely through, instead of lightly searing it. Ruined a nice piece of toro, might as well be tuna out of a can. Respect the ingredients!

Hi Mr. Hubert! Thank you for the kind feedback! I will place a note in your profile that you prefer your nigiri not torched for the future. Thank you for the continued support! Cheers, Harrison Smith General Manager

Unfortunately had a poor experience with the tasting menu. Multiple courses were missed and had to be brought out late and it felt like we were forgotten at the table (dinner took almost 2.5 hours). Given the high price of the tasting menu, we thought the service level would have been higher.

We waited 30 min for someone to take our drink order after I asked a server to take care of us. The food quality was good but overpriced.
