TAKENAKA Uni Bar is a highly acclaimed restaurant in Vancouver, known for fantastic food and great service. The ambiance is intimate and modern, providing a cozy atmosphere ideal for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends. The menu features a variety of delectable seafood dishes, including a mouthwatering quail egg small bite, a refreshing scallop carpaccio-like appetizer, and a silky smooth Uni Chawanmushi with a rich, umami flavor. The sashimi platter is praised for its freshness, and the uni is described as buttery and rich, easily one of the best in Vancouver. The Japanese lunch set, which includes onigiri, fresh sashimi, miso soup, salad, and matcha soba noodles with uni, remains a customer favorite. The ramen broth is commended for its creaminess and delicious flavor. The restaurant's tapas-style dishes are seafood-forward, showcasing high-quality ingredients. While the portions are on the smaller side compared to average North American sizes, they align with authentic Japanese dining. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, although some reviews mention the restaurant can feel busy and understaffed. TAKENAKA Uni Bar is a must-visit destination for those seeking an exceptional dining experience.
