Uni Boom

This restaurant was recommend by a Chinese friend. First of all, they do not provide a menu. You need to scan a QR code to access the menu & order. The system convenience you to use Google or Facebook to login which I do not want to exposure of my privacy & then I need to use my mobile to register an account. This is not a friendly experience. The renovation was very poor. The roof looks like never complete. There was a front gate & being hide by a big piece of cloth. The toilet was not clean & make you feel like you are eating in a $10 chinese food court. I cannot understand how can they obtain a food registry from local Council. The oyster was in promotion. However the oyster was not clean after opening. You can feel a lot of small pieces of broken shell in your month. Uni is the main character in this restaurant. A Uni Don is starting from $50 each. I have order a Tuna Urchin Don, I don't feel any flavor on the tuna, uni or rice. The rice is not anything from Japan. It has no flavor at all & seems like from short grain rice buy from local grocery shop. Furthermore, they are charging extra for paying by credit card. A very typically Chinese owner way of running a restaurant. I understand that you are totally correct for passing the bank charges to customer. Consider that you are charge $50 per person & still want to pass the bank charge to customer? This does not seem fair. I will not come again & do not recommend you to go to a Chinese own Japanese restaurant.

Fresh food and wonderful service~ good experience~

Loved the surf clam sashimi, abalone and uni! The staff were really knowledgable and friendly. I enjoyed hearing about their "from pests to plates" campaign and am glad to support an environmentally conscious business.

Overall, a pretty good experience but very expensive. The ramen was pretty good and had nice flavour. I have never tried sea urchin before so I found the cooked urchin quite nice but I did not enjoy the raw urchin. The wagyu steak was very nice and probably the highlight of our order. It was cooked really well and the beef was really tender. The staff were friendly and helpful. The drinks were alright and the soup was pretty tasty. I just wasn’t wowed especially at the price. It had a pretty cute interior and decorations.

Seafood is really good and fresh. The luxury 8 rice bowl is really sufficient and has such a wide variety, shared it with 2 other ppl. Not enough to be shared as a full meal but really recommended as an occasional meal(a little bit steep for a casual meal). Not in my photos though, forgot to take picture of it... What made the dining experience wholesome and unique is that the waitress actually came over to explain about the history of the place and how their vision is to change people's stigma of sea urchin as a pest. After tasting it, i definitely support that sentiment 100 %, would love to see this dish appearing more commonly in dishes arnd melbourne.

Fresh seafood, oysters and uni. Really satisfying and great customer service too :)

So good and fresh seafood. Nice service and friendly staff.. I would come back again 🥰

Super fresh, generous portions of amazing quality food! Staff are lovely and restaurant is really clean. First time visiting and will definitely return.

lovely customer service and great food. Tuna was defrost properly and taste good. Layout is a bit strange.

Good to be back again and lucky enough can taste the seasonal White Sea urchin!!! Very yummy and well presentation dish as always!
