Uni'Ko Japanese Lounge

Phenomenal nigiri and sashimi. So fresh. The atmosphere was also impressive.

Tried this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and they weren't very busy. They were out of a variety of menu items, both bar and food. Service was very slow, no drink refills were offered and a check was eventually presented at the end.

I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food itself was decent, but nothing special enough to justify the high prices. The biggest issue was the atmosphere and layout. The dining area felt extremely cramped, with tiny tables packed closely together in the middle of the room, creating constant foot traffic and a stressful, uncomfortable environment rather than a relaxing dining experience.

The restaurant also lacked the cozy ambiance you would expect at this price point. On top of that, the menu design was frustrating — the font was so small it was difficult to read, especially in the lighting provided. Attention to customer comfort and overall dining experience seems to have taken a back seat to maximizing seating capacity.

Another disappointment was the beer service. I ordered a Crazy Buddha beer, but the bottle was never presented at the table, so honestly it could have been any beer poured into a glass. Small details like that matter, especially at a restaurant trying to offer a premium dining experience. There was very little sense of omotenashi — the thoughtful hospitality and attention to detail that many people appreciate in Japanese dining.

Overall, the experience did not match the cost. Decent food alone is not enough when the atmosphere feels crowded, impersonal, and overpriced.

After touring my client at a near by apartment complex decided to stop for a bite and the tuna tower is amazing

Great sushi, great location. I highly recommend you try one of their signature rolls. Service was great. If you love sushi, they will have something you like.

The teppanyaki steak was disappointing. Lacked favor and tenderness. The meat was chewy and hard. Lacked flavor. After the third bite I was done. Our server was great!! But the manager was rude. She said she would offer to discount my meal because I ate quite a bit. Three pieces of steak is not quite a bit out of 20 pieces total. It was enough to know that all the pieces were the same. It was our first time and it was an epic fail. The ambiance was good though

Will was our waiter and he was amazing! He has great taste when it came to wine and the dinner options. He sold us on a wine called Stags leap and the Romeo and Juliet sushi and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting and nice relaxing upscale sushi restaurant.

The options were limited for dining as we were guests of the hotel. We decided to try this place for our last dinner in town. We were definitely underwhelmed by everything we ordered except the softshell crab, which was delicious! The interior was beautiful and the service was perfect. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things.

Jasmine was amazing at guiding us through our meal and recommending the tuna tower, it was delicious! We had just about every roll on the menu, and I could go back for seconds. The bar has some great options for cocktails, my favorites the ringo reyna, and kora kiss! Will be back asap!

We tried the Ahi Tuna tower, the Miso soup, a shrimp roll and the Lobster roll recommended by our waitress! Everything tasted delicious and we plan on coming back soon!

***update***
We came back for dinner a few days later and again was a 10/10 we ordered mostly the same except instead of the Lobster roll we got the kara! Wow!
