Uni Gallery By Oosterbay

Nice little place to enjoy uni. It’s a little tricky to find as it’s in the basement of the mall. The uni tasting platter is fresh. My favorite is Bafun uni, as fresh as the one we get in Hokkaido. The sashimi are also fresh and nice. Hot kitchen serves different type of grilled fish and affordable price. We visited during lunch time on Saturday with a reservation, but it’s not too crowded for lunch.

Went on a weekday for celebration, restaurant wasn't pack and we ordered the 5 course omakase which comes with Uni on most dishes. Personally am not a fan of uni (my wife is) was passing most of the uni to her but she convinced me to give it a try. To my surpise the uni was fresh, big, creamy and flavourful, would definitely come here for uni again. Other dishes was well executed, especially the chawanmushi, was probably the best I ever had. However the uni tempura was kinda a waste, the flavour and creaminess was lost due to deep fried. Also, would be great if restaurant could answer phone call or email query.

Positives: Staff are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the aburi sushi platter. Wasabi is fresh, meat to rice ratio is just right, rice is also very tasty. Negatives: For the uni, I felt that it could be fresher and portions could be more generous. But the part I really disliked (which tbh isn't really the fault of the restaurant itself) is that the area which it is located in unfortunately smells of cigarette smoke. And because the restaurant doesn't have a door, I can smell it inside the restaurant as well. But if you're not too sensitive to this, then it shouldn't be a problem. Others: Entertainer 1-for-1 is available for their uni. For the sashimi/sushi option on entertainer, do note that there's a price cap which excludes the platters.
