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.

The fish was very fresh, ambiance beautiful and service excellent. However, if you were seeking a true sushi experience it was not. They could serve the fish traditional without the paired flavors (e.g. subtle chocolate sauce with cranberry on your nigiri) but you’re paying for the menu design. The miso soup was also quite good - lots of umami, not overly salty. The desserts were phenomenal with the pear sorbet on olive cake and the coconut rice pudding redefines rice pudding. But for the price and main sushi experience it was very disappointing.

Still one of my all time favorite restaurants! Very creative takes on traditional Japanese with some fusion of other flavors and techniques. The people are the best part! Super friendly and great service. I always bring my out-of-State friends here.

I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and overall had a great time. The service was great, the food was amazing, drinks were amazing, however the noise was very loud. The set up of tables was very crowded and there was a work party next to us but kept walking between our table and bumping my husband constantly. Besides those issues, it was a good restaurant!

Very loud lounge, when we reserved seemed to be more intimate in the photos. Thee food was not tasting bad, but the taste of the fishes were mostly covered by the excess of sauces( like mayo). The Chutoro was not as fresh as one would expect, and the presentation of the makimonos was messy and not better than a cheap franchise restaurant, a kid could roll that better... despite of the that the service was good and staff super atentive

Not even one new offerings of food for v day. Very noisy. Fish sashimi were just ok. Nothing special. We were seated on the bar on the lower level. Burnt smell of oil got stuck to our cloths and was annoying during the whole meal. We Will not come again on Valentine’s Day.
