Uni

Chic bilevel hotel eatery with dark wood accents serving sashimi, sushi & unique Asian street food. 

"WHAT: In 2002, Uni was but a pint-size sashimi counter tucked into a windowless alcove of Ken Oringer’s flagship Clio. Last year, Oringer decided it might be time give his erstwhile side hustle the run of the place. 

WHY: Boy, was he right. Oringer and executive chef Tony Messina transformed Uni into a next-level izakaya showcasing ecumenical riffs on global street food, anchored by meticulous technique and relentless ingredient snobbery. The result? An exhilarating flavorscape where hamachi sashimi tangoes with banana, black truffle, and pork belly croutons; sea urchin toast dresses Italian-style in lardo and seaweed pesto, and wagyu dumplings are free to be, well, wagyu dumplings — with a little cheddar dashi and braised lettuce thrown in. " [Eater]
