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!

Such a vibe from the moment you walk in! The food was amazing, tried a sushi ceviche which I had never heard of before and loved. Service was friendly, definitely coming back!

Chilling with friends at Uni'Ko is one of my favorite spots at the Eilan area in San Antonio! The Sushi is amazing here! I had the Sushi Tower and, of course, a Moscow Mule (W/Lavender)! My friend had and Eel roll a the Romeo & Juliet roll with chicken fried rice and seaweed salad! Fun night! If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out!

Food wasn’t that great tbh. It’s over priced and subpar quality and taste. The miso soups was probably the best. I had miso soup, chicken fried rice, beef yakitori, the select roll and and a Hanataki plate (idk if I spelled it correctly) Beef in the yakitori was so dry and chewy I just sent it back. It was not very flavorful either. Chicken in the fried rice was a bit dry too. The fried rice overall was flavorless as well. Could use more butter, salt, and some umami. And maybe a different style of rice. Rice was a long grain. Personally I prefer short grain rice for fried rice. The hanataki plate wasn’t bad. I picked off the jalepeños and cilantro but that’s a personal preference of mine. I didn’t want the seeds of the jalepenos and the cilantro to overwhelm the dish. The sashimi itself was decent quality. A bit on the tangy side but I like tangy flavors a lot. Probably the second best dish. Had I stopped at the miso soup and this one I might’ve left satisfied but because I decided to try a variety of the rest I left disappointed and $95 less. The roll was meh. 😑 The sushi rice was dry. Seems to be a trend at the place. Everything is dry and lacking flavor. There are other places better than this place. Umiya is better than this place. At least they’re a bit fresher and have more flavor and way cheaper. The service was good and the restaurant itself is beautiful and located in a great spot. The food is subpar. Will not be back again. It’s out of my way to begin with and I was trying a new spot so it’s off my list of places to try. It’s on my list of places to never go back to now tho.
