This medium portion of Uya’s signature grilled unagi rice bowl took a good 40 minutes to arrive at the table, and we were not the only impatient diners in the room on a Saturday night - it seems the restaurant has yet to get into the groove of seamless operations. A taste of this though had us forgetting about most of the frustration. Smoky, rightly charred in places and slicked in a tare sauce that’s just the right balance of sweet and savoury, this made for one very good meal. Pro tip: Though very new, the place was already packed with a queue waiting outside. Thank goodness they take reservations!
