Uni'ko Japanese House - San Antonio

Stayed in San Antonio couple of days and ended here for dinner.Service was good, even thought we didnt have reservation waiter did not rush us. He had good recomendations overal service was good and food was delicious (order 5 diferent things). Atmosphere could be a little better (chairs and table little old) but love the private atmosphere

Well, this is a difficult review to write. We arrived and were seated promptly, but that is where the decent service ended. The server arrived about 5 minutes later with warm water, told us a bit about the menu and then vanished for the next 40 minutes while we watched her chat with friends and served the people around us who came in 20 minutes after we did, and so on. After trying to get her attention for over half an hour we left. If you go may the force be with you. Maybe with powers of levitation you might acquire some, fish and rice and manage your own sushi dinner.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would!!! I called and made a reservation the morning of for 7PM. When my friend and I got there, we sat for 5 minutes and then got informed that the restaurant was closing early due to a “random deep clean” and that we needed to order soon…. We ordered, got our COLD food, and the staff started stacking chairs on the tables preparing for closing while we had just got there. Our server sucked, and didn’t feel bad at all about what was happening. I will NEVER come here again. This is awful business.

Came in 2 hours before closing and was told they were getting ready to close in two hours and weren’t taking anymore food orders then was told there wasn’t anywhere else to sit while there were 4 tables open, then was told no one has gotten their food while literally everyone seated had food in front of them. So I was basically told 4 lies within the matter of 2 minutes. I just walked away because I could clearly see they didn’t want to service me because of my color. That’s okay because I had an AMAZING experience at KONA GRILL! I hope the girl who didn’t greet me with a hello but “um we won’t be taking anymore orders” has the life she deserves. I also watched waited from a distance for a few minutes and watched three people walk in, sit down AND get their order taken.

Uni'ko offers a truly unique experience. From the decor to the food, this definitely made for a memorable lunch.As a party of 2, we were seated quickly which was a pleasant surprise for a Saturday.As a starter, we ordered the beef sashimi. The dish included several strips of raw meat on a plate and a separate hot stone to cook the meat. The meat was so tender and very tasty. This appetizer is not to be missed, but be sure to place all the meat on the stone as soon as possible to ensure the beef cooks before the stone cools too much.We also ordered two sushi rolls which took quite a while to come out, but we're worth the wait.The Romeo and Juliette roll was served on a long plate with fire (and possibly sugar) along side it. This made for a somewhat room temperature roll but was still very delicious. It included salmon and was topped with spicy tuna. The salmon was partially cooked from the heat of the fire, which added to the flavor. The roll was delicious but also very spicy.The other roll we ordered was the Kani which was a little more basic but also very good. The shrimp was very small, even for shrimp, but overall was fine.The seaweed salad was pretty good too. It was a little spicy but also very tasty.
