Uni Boston Reviews
I came on a Sunday night.
I ordered the tasting menu and some other items, like Brussels sprouts, crab rice, grilled octopus etc. My bill was 400+ for 3 people. The food is very "fused" together. I cannot taste how fresh the food was. It was either too salty, too s
Phenomenal.
Food is so fresh and outstanding ingredient quality. Sometimes a bit heavy handed on the sauces but that's easily remedied. Just great. Also the service was outstanding. We sat outside on the patio.
Great food and attentive service.
Our favorites were the wagyu dumplings--perfectly tender and flavorful--and the salmon and avocado roll, which was fresh and satisfying. The toro sushi was especially fresh and melted in our mouths. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, wit
Excellent.
Sat at the bar, quiet setting. Service was great at the bar. Ordered wagyu by the ounce. 2-4 oz per person was just right. 10 seconds per side on the stone, done. The spices provided were salt , garlic and sumak. A hint of sumak made each piece perf
Enjoyed the creative sashimi courses and carbonara.
Lamb was too chewy for me. Good bar/ sake program.
Tasting menu was exceptional.
Great with sake. The stand out item, surprisingly, was the English pea carbonara udon. Everything else was excellent too. I'm just visiting Boston. I've had dinners at Michelin star restaurants that do not rise to the level. Exceedingly ple
Unbelievable food.
I was not expecting much based on the reviews but it was outstanding.

My fiancé and I went on Valentine's Day and enjoyed the dim setting. Service was laid back and attentive and suggestive with dishes. We ordered alcoholic beverages that came in a reasonable timeframe. To the food.. The Chicken Bao Buns we woul
Second time dining at Uni.
Reminder that Uni serves tapas style plates and sushi. You are encouraged to order 3 to 5 items per person. Honestly I went back for the fried chicken Bao Buns. They are so good! I could eat 10 of them! Other items that would make me want to retur
The service was wonderful- zero complaints.
We found the food to be lacking, with the exception of barracuda nigiri (although size of portion was tiny) and broccolini noodles, which were good. We were still hungry and could have ordered more, but the portions were so small and prices didn'

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!
Uni Boston a place to go.
The fish here at uni is next level the fish is fresh and is very unique with many different flavors that explode into your mouth. The fish has different types of fish you would have never thought could be an eating fish but this place made it possibl

Fastest $600 spent in my life.
We ordered several dishes for an experience that we expected to be extraordinary. The service was much too fast, we didn't even have time to taste the dishes. In addition, they brought the starters after the sushi.... The service was not up to the pr

Service was MIA
It’s unfortunate that poor service will ruin your experience. The restaurant was less than half full in our section, and other tables were getting good service. We had to ask for our drinks and even for the soy sauce! In a Japanese restaurant!! The

This is one of those places that's overly precious -- expensive and serves very tiny plates, and snobby to boot. Dark ambiance. It seemed the server did not like that we didn't order as much as he wanted, and he took it upon himself to ask our kids
Food was good, but service could've been better.
There was 2 couples beside us and manager decided to come by and check on everyone(including couple on each side of us) but us. It wouldn't have been noticeable if he wasn't the only person in a suit and he decided to skip over only us for some reaso
The uni was fresh and toro was just so so.
I'm pretty sure the yellowtail and seabass aren't fresh... I've been to so many sushi places and this is by far the worst. It'd so fishy and didn't have any taste. this is such a scam!
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 helpf
Wow! Uni never stops surprising.
Fantastic food, kind service- especially at the bar. Very creative, always fresh. Local fresh fish, fun sauces and flavors. Love Uni and consider it one of the best restaurants in Boston.

Best in Boston
Elegant interior, excellent staff who were friendly and generous with their knowledge. The Ngiri was our favourite closely followed by dessert.
A bit overrated
After wanting to try Uni for years, I was a bit disappointed and underwhelmed. When ordering, I would stick with the items “from the kitchen”. The chicken bahn mi was very good as were the wagyu dumplings, but there is nothing really special abo

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 upbea
Great sushi spot in Boston.
Visiting from LA, I consider myself a sushi connoisseur. The sushi/ nigiri were presented nicely. They would compete with Nobu-ish establishments. Uni spoon were worth a second visit. The oysters also tasted fresh. Toro was from the best cut of
Fabulous good, but way too noisy…
Fabulous food. One could almost just point to anything on the menu and do very well. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented . An exceptional team service effort. But I agree with the prior rating. The noise is overwhelming, almost to th

Cute spot.
But the quality of the food and drinks were terrible. I asked for a lychee martini which is a fairly common and easy drink to make, they didn't have it. Food quality was just bland and ok. You can get much better quality and better tasting food else
Japanese Tapas
Japanese tapas! A great idea and the food was DIFFERENT and delicious. We took photographs of every dish! One problem, which could be easily fixed, is the noise level. We couldn't hear each other (we were 4) or the waitress, so we resorted to p
Not a huge sushi guy.
.. but I am now! Great food, better service! 4 top outside with friends and loved it. "Best Tuesday Ever". Has some sort of sushi with dehydrated strawberries and now it's all I want to eat.
Good service, very disappointing food.
Service was good, but the food was disappointing and underwhelming. More traditional dishes are done well enough, but the unique fusion / Pan-Asian dishes were very hit-or-miss. Many of these dishes combine flavors that don’t mix together well, or
Great restaurant. Air conditioning a joke.
Excellent restaurant. Air conditioning when 8 degrees outside. A joke! The environment? Cop on! Turn it off! No regard for the environment. I asked the staff to turn it off. They didn’t.
The location is beautiful.
Food:The crab rice was my favorite. It is a perfect blend of complex flavors. Not too oil, salty, or spicy. Just right. My only "gripe" would be the cost for fried rice with less than a leg of rock crab in it. But I know built into the cost
Uni Contines to Wow and Delight!!!
I don't know how everyone doesnt give this five stars. Maybe some people are expecting traditional sushi and this is not the place for that. Uni amazes with delicious and distinctive flavors time and again. But be prepared: Uni transforms traditional

Delicious meal with friends.
We visited as a group of 4 for a business dinner mid week. The food was certainly very good, however I don’t think it met the price tag. The service was very friendly, but also very casual, so perhaps not what you would expect or want for a high

We went to Uni a couple of years ago when they brilliantly, during Covid, turned hotel rooms into private dining. It was expensive then but worth every penny, especially when dining out was nigh on impossible. We had high expectations returning and
Great Japanese
This vibe is cool, service amazing and the food very interesting. The sushi was different and quite fresh and they do veggies in the most interesting way.
Overall a good experience.
Called the night of and they were able to squeeze us in for dinner which was nice since we were just visiting Boston and this was top on my restaurant list. Loved the moody feel of the restaurant. The tables are really close to each other, so there's
Beautiful location in the Eliot Hotel in Back Bay.
Great cocktails and lovely dining room.
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 spectacul
Nice spot in Back Bay - came here with some colleagues.
We ordered a lot (and enjoyed most if not everything). The highlights were:- Oysters: they were smooth and sweet- Maine Uni Spoon: great presentation, and the caviar and quail yolk added a lot of flavor- Wagyu sirloin: came with a really hot stone on
Awful experience/ Rude GM/ Amazing food
It is unfortunate I feel the need to take time and leave a negative review. The food is incredible, the server was great. We had no issue spending over $1,300 for a dinner of 5 and leaving a generous tip as the service was fantastic. The issue was th

It's been forever since I've written a review so it has to be exceptional for me to get off my lazy fat a** nowadays to do so (I'm no yelp elite and don't aim to be). Unfortunately Uni makes the cut for all the wrong reasons. If I'm going to throw do

Connect with users posting reservations for Uni Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Uni Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Uni Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Uni Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Uni Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Uni Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
